Consignment Process

Belly Laughs is now accepting fall consignment!

We accept drop offs any day of the week during regular store hours. We do our best to review all items while you wait, with the exception of weekends. During weekends, due to high customer and consigner volume, we are only able to offer a Drop & Run Service. 

Below are our guidelines for accepting items. We select the items we can sell based on the quality of the item, demand, and current stock.

Clothing
• We accept children’s clothing from newborn to size 6 and all sizes of maternity clothing. Name brand only. (ie. Gymboree, Gap, Old Navy, Children’s Place, Ralph Lauren, and Tommy Hilfiger to name a few) We do not accept brands sold at WalMart or Zellers.
• When it comes to maternity fashions, our motto is “what worked for your belly will work for another mom-to-be’s”! If it’s not official “maternity wear” it may not matter. However, we do not accept brands sold at WalMart or Zellers.
• Clothing must be freshly laundered and folded neatly. The better it is presented, the better it will sell.
• Clothing should be less than 4 years old, in great condition and of current style.
• Pay special care to ensure that all clothing is gently-used: entirely free of stains, rips, tears, worn out knees, fading, pilling, missing buttons, broken zippers or torn seams.

Slings & Carriers
• We do accept slings and carriers on consignment. Though not necessary it is best to bring any instructions or DVDs that accompanied the item when purchased.
• We do not accept Snugli, Graco or Evenflo brand carriers.
• We do not accept framed pack carriers.

Cloth Diapers
• We do accept Cloth Diapers for consignment.
• Please ensure that diapers have been cleaned well before dropping off. If you would like some tips on stain removal please give us a call or send an email we would be more than happy to help.
• We do not accept Kushies brand diapers.

We do not accept toys, children's books or gear type items (Strollers, High Chairs etc) but would be more than happy to recommend/refer you to other local resources for these items.

As per Transport Canada’s recommendation, we do not accept nor promote the resale of Car Seats.
