My Three Little Birds — Local services in Seattle

I was pleasantly surprised by this little store the other day. I went in to pick out some things for my new niece and found so much more than I thought was in there. I walk by every day to and from work and never thought there was so much!

I picked up about 5 items or so and it only came to $27. Shopping used/consignment for baby clothes really is a good idea and I was happy when the recipient was in favour of the idea as well. Everything was in great condition and really I think some of the onesies I bought were brand new and were like a fraction of the price.

One suggestion I will make if the owners ever read this. Maybe be more aware of who walks in your store? I know I don't have kids of my own, but I was definitely there to buy. Until I came up to the register with my purchases, no one said hello, hi, do I need help, or anything, and I walked past two of the people working there, multiple times. You don't have to stalk me from place to place, but a hello is definitely...

I was wrong...I was in a rush and while I gave the item a quick glance, seeing some scuffs here and there, I didn't notice the considerable amount of grime and "crud" everywhere around the edges.... Like someone sprayed it down and called it good. Several parts were incredibly disgusting when I took them off their bases and it easily took me an hour to wipe down and clean. I'm not sure I will return again since it doesn't seem worth it and I'll have to inspect the item just as closely as a sale from a...

Edit: The owner contacted me and was very understanding. She is going to re-train her employee so that new consigners have a better experience.

Disappointing experience starting a consignment account. I was scolded for bringing a bouncer in even though it doesn’t say on the website to call ahead. When I started to fill out the description of items, I was again scolded for filling out the exact information that was listed. When I asked for clarification I received a vague answer re-stating exactly what I had written down. For a shop that exists on consigned items, it would be great if they were a little more pleasant with their customers. We had also planned to purchase new boots and coats for both of our children but we will not be...
