New to consignment? Start here!

Do I need to make an appointment? ​

No. We accept walk-in drop offs during store hours Mondays-Fridays. 

​​

How much will I receive for my items?

The consignor will receive 40% of the selling price for items sold.

​​

How will I receive my payments?

We do not buy outright. When your item sells, it turns into store credit that you may use to shop at Trendy Tots anytime. Should you want to cash out, checks will only be written for balances with a minimum of $50. Contact us during store hours to request for your check. Accounts with balances with no activity for the last year will be forfeited.

​​​

Once a payout has been made, Trendy Tots Children's Consignment is not responsible for and cannot replace lost or expired checks. 

​

How long is the consignment period?

Consignment period is approximately 60 days from intake.  If you would like your unsold items returned, you must call within 7 days before your 60 day consignment period ends.  Consignors are responsible of keeping track of these dates. 

​​

What can I do to ensure that my items will be accepted for consignment? 

Before your visit, make sure your clothing are freshly washed, inspected for stains, holes, rips, piling, fading, and ready for the next family to use. This includes clothing and baby gear with fabric components such as high chair, strollers, walkers, baby floor seats, rockers, nursing pillows, etc. Toys must be clean and in working condition. Board games and puzzles must have all complete pieces. Battery-operated toys should include batteries and must be operational. Books must have the cover intact and no scribbled on pages.

I'm still a bit overwhelmed. There's too much information!

We get it! At Trendy Tots, we would like to make your life easier by giving you this Closet Cleanout Checklist. Print out this list for your next cleanout and you'll know exactly what to put together before your drop off!

​​

Is there a drop-off limit?

• To be fair to all consignors, please limit to two shopping bags or medium sized boxes/bins of clothing per drop off.  

• Only one drop-off per week is allowed.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​

I'm ready! Where do I sign up?

• Please review our Consignment Contract here. We are only taking new consignor registrations in-person at your first drop off. No appointments necessary, but you may call us ahead at 732-217-3633 for any other questions.

 

• When you arrive at the store, approach our staff and hand them your items for inspection. Our team will do a quick visual inspection of your items to check for obvious concerns like stains, damage, or off-season items. You may look around the store while we go  your items, depending on the total number of items dropped off it will only take about 10-15 minutes. 

​

What do you do with the rejected items?

• We'll give you back anything that clearly doesn’t meet our standards at that time. 

• If you decide to drop and run, any items not accepted will be donated.

​

I just finished my first drop-off. What's next?​

Thank you for consigning with Trendy Tots - we're so excited to partner with you! 

 

After intake, your items will go through a more detailed inspection within 2-3 business days. Please note that items accepted during the initial intake may still be declined at this stage if we discover issues such as minor damage, missing pieces, or brand restrictions. Accepted items will be added to our inventory and prepared for the sales floor. 

​

Items not accepted after the detailed review will be handled based on the return/donation option you selected at drop-off.

​

Accepted items will remain on the sales floor for approximately 60 days from initial intake.  ​Once your items sell, you’ll earn a percentage of the selling price based on our current consignment rates. Payouts are available after your account reaches a minimum balance of $50, and you may choose store credit or a cash/check payout.

​

✨ Many of our consignors love using store credit—it gives you even more value and is a fun way to shop for new-to-you items without spending out of pocket! Store credit can be used anytime in-store and gives your gently loved items a second life in your own family or someone else’s.​ If you have any questions about your account, sales, or future drop-offs, feel free to reach out or stop by.
