Our Process
Thank you for choosing Carousel Kids Consignment to resell your children's gently used items! We look foward to doing business with you and hope to make this process easy and profitable for our consigners.
We are a true consignment establishment which means that you bring us your items and we sell them for you. We DO NOT buy items from our consigners, rather you earn money as store credit in your account AS YOUR ITEMS SELL. You will not earn money for any unsold items.
THE TWO WAYS TO CONSIGN YOUR ITEMS WITH US
SCEDULE AN APPOINTMENT:
We schedule appointments by Phone Call or In Person ONLY
We recommend an appointment for new consigners because it allows us to show you what we were not able to consign and why.
The day of your appointment you will bring in your items for us to sort through while you are in the store. This takes approximately 10-15 minutes but can change depending on the quantity and frequency of other appoinments that day. We will give you back the items that we cannot consign. We may indicate to you that it is an item that you may return to us at a later date because it is seasonal or indicate that it is an item that cannot be returned due to stains, rips, missing buttons etc...
This sort is an initial sort and we may find an item that has an issue that we did not catch the first time. These items will be donated.
WALK IN DROP OFF:
Walk-In drop off's are first come first serve meaning once we run out of bins for the day we will have to stop accepting until further notice.
With a walk in drop off you will bring your items in laid flat and tranfer them to one of our bins. We will then sort through your items at a later date and donate what we can not consign to a local ministry we partner with.
FOR NEW CONSIGNERS:
You will be asked to fill out a form of basic contact information on your first visit. This information is used to create a uniuqe account within our system so that we can keep track of the items you drop off with us.
Each time you consign with us, whether you have an appointment or a walk-in drop off, we will print out a contract that you will sign and that we will keep with your items until they are ready to be processed.
This contract is key! So do not leave without signing it!
