I've had 3 negative experiences at 529 Kids Consign over 4 months. 1- I bought kids' items on Instagram. Since the shop is a 30-45 minute drive for me, I called first to ensure my items were ready for pickup. The salesperson said, "I have them right here!" However, when I arrived, she was frantically searching for them. I asked for a refund, but was told to come back the next day when the owner, Megan, was in the store. When I explained this wasn't a possibility because I work full-time, she finally relented and gave me store credit but wouldn't issue a refund. 2- Before buying a kid's item on Instagram, I asked if there was any pilling, holes, or stains. I was told the item was in like-new condition. When I picked it up, it had lots of piling and a second item I bought had stains. (I was able to exchange the items, but the store needs to be more transparent about the condition of items.) 3- I was the first person to claim and pay for an item on Instagram. When I went to collect it, I was given the wrong dress. The store sold the dress I claimed to another customer who was second to claim. The salesperson called the owner Megan and her response was, "Uggh. I can't DEAL with this RIGHT NOW. I need to be a mom." I was shocked at her response. I have four children and my time is valuable too! A better response from the owner might have been, "I'm so sorry for the mixup. I'm not in a position to address this right now. May I call you back?" I offered the salesperson my phone number and asked if the owner could call me at a more convenient time. When Megan did call me she said, "There's nothing we can do and I can't help it that YOU read the post wrong." When I offered a suggestion on how to improve labeling in the Instagram posts, she said, "There's not a problem with our process." Further, when I mentioned how two of my items were previously lost Megan said, "I can't control what comes out of everyone's mouths. The items weren't lost, they were probably in the store but the girl couldn't find them and she probably doesn't even work here anymore." Megan also said she two girls who work in the store have dyslexia. It seemed strange to me that Megan didn't keep employees' medical issues private. Being open to feedback and providing training for employees are hallmarks of a good business. Sadly, 529 Kids Consign doesn't provide even the most basic level of customer service. So I'm choosing to spend my money elsewhere.

While waiting patiently for way too long for my child to try on one dress, we watched a lady walk in as if entitled to consign things without an appointment and the obsequious, young employees kowtowed to that privileged lady. Meanwhile, my daughter had to go to the bathroom to try on the dress after waiting for at least 15 minutes while other women were hogging the dressing rooms. We decided that this place is not worth our time or money.

The first time it happened I simply choked it up as human error; however this is the second time I have gone to purchase items at this store and the ticketed price is lower than what it rings up for. The associate quickly rang my uniforms and I asked to see the price tag. Each tag was marked approximately $3 less than what they rang up for. The associate was kind enough to change the prices after speaking Spanish to her coworker in which she said "she noticed the difference". It is unfortunate that most people don't pay very close attention when being rung up, especially during back to school season when stores are crowded and parents are store hopping to get all of the school supplies. Please be aware and ensure you are not overpaying a store that is franchised your hard earned money. Lastly, I had to check my bags. The associate took my ticket and handed me a small shopping bag. I said that is not my bag. She laughed and said oh and handed over my two gigantic bags. People pay attention!

The children's boutique next door was selling similar pieces for over twice the price! Employees are friendly and the selection is well curated.

So, when a…read morefriend's son turned one last week, I decided to pop into this little store in the new shops of Slater's Lane for a gift. I think little kid's clothes are so cute... it's like dressing up dolls. This place has some really cute but VERY expensive stuff. We're talking about $150 teeny tiny jackets that a kid will grow out of in a few months. I've been in here a few times and right now they're having a 50% off sale on winter clothes. Everytime I come in here there's some obnoxious woman acting like she's the Devil Wears Prada woman, shopping for her offspring but letting the kid run amuck. The lady who runs store is nice enough but not very helpful. Considering how tiny the place is, you'd think she'd notice us standing at the register waiting to check out instead of folding fifty-dollar Italian bibs. That brings me to wonder who these clothes are really for. Like the kids give a crap about designer silk pajamas that they'll probably wet the bed in. I guess it's better off I don't have kids.

It's a tiny store but every nook and cranny is filled with children's clothes, books, toys and shoes. Everything is very stylish and well curated (and also a bit expensive too!

If you are looking for deals, they will sometimes open up the consignment shop next door and I've seen some awfully cute dresses that would look great on a holiday card!

You'd never be able to tell anything was other than brand new. The (bizarre) negatives: -Extremely inattentive staff As in, I was by myself wandering the store and had to walk around shouting for someone to ring me up. Does theft not exist here? Seriously, I don't particularly appreciate overbearing store employees elsewhere, but this place goes to the opposite extreme with no one on the floor at all! There were no other customers in the store, and the front desk phone was ringing and ignored. -Impossible to maneuver the most compact of strollers or car seats. So...a children's shop that is adults-only? Note that Bellies & Babies up the street has play areas for kids (inside & out) and nice, wide open spaces. -No itemized receipts. You only get a credit card receipt with a total amt charged, or nothing with cash. Odd. How the heck do you handle return/exchange or check for clerk accuracy?? -Crazy mark-ups. So I get the "shop local" benefits. I'm into it. However, I assume any shop is buying things wholesale and charging me fair retail. I purchased a cute item here and went online to the manufacturer's website and discovered I'd been had. The item sells for $27 online *retail* (not on sale, and certainly not wholesale), but at the Goose it sells for $39.99!!! That's completely ridiculous! I wouldn't shop here again without phone in hand to check their pricing. It's one thing to spend an extra dollar or two to buy something local and in person, but marking something's RETAIL PRICE up by 50% retail is egregious. I'm considering returning it but see above point re no receipt...
