I'm sadden by all the nasty reviews about the ladies working there. I guess you get what you deserve. Treat people with respect and honesty, and for the most part they will treat you well. I have seen nasty consignors and customers there.. asking for discounts (it's already a discount store... ), arguing about the store consignment policy and pricing, etc - so I can see why this can lead to trouble. On a personal level, I dealt with a few of their staffers, and they went over and beyond to find my unsold items after expiry date. There's a review about "the Asian girl" (as one of the reviewers calls her)... super nice, actually. She called me on my cell to let me know she found them and had them aside for me to pick up. As a consignor.. the usual policy is like everywhere else. 55-60% to the store is standard for the mid-range. You only get 50% for super high end items, usually priced over $500 or so in places like VSP, etc. Sure they have to be picky when selective their merchandise; their objective is to sell the stuff they take, not to clean up your closet of everything you bring. The stuff is ok; yes, some are overpriced and I wish they went on sale more often, but this is not staff's fault. It's also about what you see as value. If you expect a Value Village, this isn't it (thank goodness). I had times when I left with tons of scores, and times when I left empty handed. Frankly, few of us need anything for the most part so it's impulse shopping like any other clothing store... I wish the store looked a little more creative, but at the end of the day, Winners isn't any better. Again, be open minded and kind and you can have a great time scouring.. :)

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Last week I went into the store to…read morepurchase a gift for a little girl. Her parents are good friends of mine and I wanted them to know that I appreciated their friendship. I purchased a Gucci little dress. It was so beautiful. The staff were amazing and I loved the experience. They were all helping me pick the perfect gift for the perfect girl. The parents loved the gift and I know the mother will probably buy something to match the little girl's outfit. This store is a gem. I would advise anyone to shop there.

I am writing to formally complain about the conduct of a sales associate during my recent visit to…read moreyour store on August 29th at 4:19 pm. I found the interaction inappropriate, presumptuous, and inconsistent with the level of professionalism I would expect from a customer-facing employee. Upon entering the store, the sales associate greeted me by saying, "Hey Mama." I was taken aback by this and asked her directly why she was referring to me as "Mama." Rather than acknowledging that the comment was inappropriate or simply apologizing, she responded, "I assume you were a mama." I left your store immediately. I find this response particularly concerning. The sales associate did not know me, had no personal information about me, and had no basis for making an assumption about my personal circumstances. Regardless of what she may have intended, referring to a customer as "Mama" based on an assumption about their appearance, pregnancy, or parental status is presumptuous and crosses an appropriate professional boundary.

I go in, explain the age and gender of the child I'm buying for, give a few adjectives about the parents, provide a budget, and BOOM they bring out a bunch of stuff to choose from.

The place is not dark at all. It is a wide open space completely filled with used items, things that you would look for on Kijiji, only cheaper than it. I was browsing through Kijiji for items, and figured I might just try this place out. I found more than everything I needed there at a very affordable price. Wagons, slides, bassinets, strollers, bikes... The items are checked, lightly cleaned, absolutely reusable with just a bit more care. The owner looked like a really honest and nice guy. I have no clue how he makes profit. In anyway, this is my go to place when I need something.

I liked getting some used clothing of brand names for less, like Hatley and Roots. There may be some good finds hidden but there are also a lot of clothes that look outdated. I have also purchased new stuff for my kid, like hair bands, stockings, hair elastic, bracelet, and ear muffs. Unlike other preloved stores, this one does not have a rewards program for more purchases. Their new clothing is usually like almost $60 for one dress for a toddler. However, there may be new staff here that don't feel as welcome when I walk in. Their preloved stuff is sometimes overpriced. And my first consignment try was a disappointment. Instead of telling me the requirements of what they accept, they had me sign a paper with my details and drop off - when I asked for details on the rules they have, the woman told me it was same as that sheet of paper. They had me hopeful that my kid's outgrown clothes will sell. They rejected the item and I had to schedule another trip in to pick it up. It would have been easier if I knew the first time. They don't seem to greet visitors to the store or ask to be helpful anymore like they used to.

It houses new and previously owned branded kid's/infant's clothing and shoes arranged from sizes and age, along with new items like hats and adorable sunglasses. Exclusive brands like Jack and Lily, Burberry, Nordstroms, Ralph Lauren, Prada, Gucci have declared no introductions needed that withstands wash and wear, appearing unspoiled and brand new once on the shelves at a fraction of the cost. Feeling out the materials while wandering the store after a full minute will make you forget brands that mass produce vapid onesies and jeans that are light years behind trendy and isn't comfortable at all, based on my son's immediate tantrum after I have him fitted in a $10 jeans that look super cool but rough on his sensitive skin. Between baby showers, birthdays, hand me downs from family and friends, we sometimes are stuck with a vast selection of majority brands that are mainstream and I personally feel it's so yummy to watch my 7 month old infant beat his papa's swagger any day with an $80 Burberry off-white onesie.

Housed in a cute Victorian small-town cottage beside the Leslieville Pumps gas station/grub joint, the store is like a teleporter to that other side of Queen Street, that I wonder if I am even in my own neighbourhood anymore whenever I step inside. I guess it's a sign of the times in the east end, as much as it is an interesting addition to the Leslieville strip. I was forwarded a meme whilst contemplating this nonsense (because apparently no one else has yet, bloody hell), and on it, a satirical list of things purported to be signs your 'hood is gentrifying, including an "inexplicable general store." Inexplicable. General. Store. I guess that best explains Good Neighbour. True to form, the place is filled with all sorts of eclectic and stylish stuff of all random categories scattered everywhere, like greeting cards, clothes and outerwear, mugs, footwear, backpacks, cosmetics, stationery. It's sort of like a Drake General Store (or maybe even an Urban Outfitters), but with more emphasis on fashion and lifestyle goods... and less on random cheeky hipster gag gift kitsch. There's a small kids section tucked in the back by the fitting room stalls, with an assortment of dresses, toys, puzzles, and humourous books. The men's stuff upstairs kind of scares me with the quantity of soaps and toiletries for the discerning well-groomed hip man. The place itself is a marriage of curated hip(ster) tastes (oh wait, they even have a table of selected Drake General Store crap for sale), and Club Monaco chic. Thankfully like a good neighbour the folks here don't stink so much of that douchey we're-too-cool-for-thou attitude that many hipster businesses are known for--they instead stink of individual cheerful Queen West-esque personality and a level of helpfulness not normally seen in a more corporate fashion boutique. Pricey? Kinda expected that. What is not expected are the sale offers that do pop up time and time again. My sister claims she bought a pair of jeans here for less than what Hudson's Bay was charging for the same brand. But I usually end up with socks, or scarves, or cards. Or whatever. {TTC: take the 72 bus or the 501-2-3 to Queen/Carlaw}
