About Once Upon A Child
Once Upon A Child is a well-organized and clean store that consistently impresses customers with its neat layout and easy-to-find items. Many reviews highlight the store’s cleanliness, especially in the toy and book sections, making shopping a pleasant experience. The store features cute carts with toy cars and offers reasonably priced items, which are often clearly marked. Customers appreciate their selection, noting that while the size range varies, there are good options for infants and younger children, though larger sizes may be limited. The store operates as a consignment shop, meaning sellers should expect to receive about 25-30% of the selling price per item. Bringing in a large lot of items, especially if they are clean and well-presented, can result in higher payouts—some customers have successfully exchanged hundreds of items for substantial payments. However, the amount offered depends on what the store needs at the time, and not all items will be accepted. It’s advised to bring in items with the understanding that the payout per item is modest. Customer service experiences vary; staff are often described as kind and helpful, especially when handling large loads or troubleshooting system issues. Nevertheless, some customers note that staff engagement and communication could improve, as interactions sometimes feel impersonal. A suggestion was made for more signage, such as for battery recycling, to enhance environmental efforts. Overall, Once Upon A Child is praised for its cleanliness, organization, and good selection, making it a preferred shopping and selling destination for families, despite some variability in customer service and acceptance rates.

I’m honestly surprised by the low rating! As a buyer, this is the best location
super clean and organized even the toys are easy to find! Not like other places where you have to dig through dirty bins.
Kudos to all the staff for managing such a clean store!

Really well organized and clean. I have been to all of the OUAC from Oakville to Hamilton and was really impressed with this one. This one also had super cute carts with toy cars on the bottom

The toys were so organized! Store was clean, most things the price was easy to find on the item and 9 times out of 10 the price is reasonable.
I do wish they had more swimsuits out, I know it's getting into winter but there is still swimming lessons and vacations so I think it's an all year high demand personally.
