OUR PROCESS

HOW WE WORK

Due to Covid-19 we have temporarily changed how we accept dropoffs.

No appointment necessary. Items must be dropped off in a bag with the account holder’s name inside the bag. We will quarantine it for up to to 48 hours before sorting through the items. It’s advised that you wash and pre-inspect your items carefully and check what season we are taking. Anything we don’t accept is automatically donated.

Fall & Winter = June – December

Spring & Summer = January – May

Generally, we take items that are 3 years or newer, in great condition, freshly laundered, pressed, and stain free. We look at up to 20 items per drop off, no appointment necessary. We sort through your items in about 10 mins while you browse around the store.

Consignors make 40% commission. Your money will remain on your account for 6 months from the date an item is sold. Items are held in stock for 2 months. items not picked-up before their expiry date become the property of BoomerangKids-WellingtonWest (and are donated to local charities).

What brands do you take? And what don’t you take?

We take popular brands that sell, and that are no older than 4 years.

Sometimes it feels like you turn away perfectly good items. Why?

If we don’t accept a perfectly good item, it’s almost always because we don’t have the right market to sell the item in our store. There is also limited space in our store to sell items – so we prefer to choose items that we are sure will sell.

Can I return a resale item?

All sales are final.
