NEW Girls Junior and Mommy Mart No longer Accepted

Oh how this pains me! But because of our growth and our need to loosen up those racks and give us more floor space to stretch out our merchandise, we had to come to a HARD decision. We will no longer accept Girls Junior and Mommy Mart items. Ouch! I know, it hurts to say good-bye! However, it's not a secret, we have grown to capacity and we need to focus on what really sells and what our shoppers are looking for. It's what we are hearing from you the most "we've grown and need more space!" We assure you, should we ever be able to expand and include those items again, we will. Mommy Mart items are limited to only to those items that are kid/ child specific.                                                                                                                                    

                                                                                                                                 

NEW Merchandise Acceptance Policies
Inspection, Inspection, Inspection. What a tough job this can sometimes be. Tot Trade has created an "Inspection Staff" and specific guidelines as to what we will and will not accept. Even with a list, it can sometimes be "debatable" what to accept or not to accept as while you may not buy something, someone else might. Tot Trade has such a diverse shopping audience that we feel we have to meet the needs of all our shoppers.  However, that does not mean we will accept outdated items, damaged items or items with stains. 

We are putting new policies into place this season to check and double-check our merchandise that we are presenting to our shoppers, but we also need your help, do your part on your end. It needs to be your goal as well as ours, to present only the best to our shoppers. Please pay close attention to each and every item you consign with us. Do your own "home inspection" before you arrive at drop off.

Due to safety, space and ease of shopping we have made some updates to our acceptance policies.

  • NO CAR SEATS will be accepted.  Tot Trade is committed to the safety of our children and we have been advised that recycled infant carries, car seats and booster seats are not in the best interest of our children's safety.  Each year car seat manufacturers introduce products with even higher safety measures and we want to ensure our customers are receiving products that are child safe.  Thank you for understanding this change in our policy.
  • No Juniors - We are not accepting Girls Junior sizes. Because of space limitations we have had to make the tough decision to discontinue Juniors. Juniors is the least shopped department at our sale. We will however accept top/blouses that are (manufactured) labeled Small/Medium/Large. Estimate the size within the girls sizes up to 18. We'll look for these most popular labels. 
    • Abercrombie & Fitch
    • Hollister
    • American Eagle
    • Aéropostale
    • The Gap
    • Polo
    • Old Navy
  • Mommy’s Mart – Will no longer be accepted. Ouch, how I hate to say that! Furniture items must be kid specific.

  • No socks, tights, underwear, belts, hats, hairbows, ties, suspenders - if you have any of these items that are specific to your outfit, please place in a ziploc bag and pin them to the outfit.

  • Movies and DVDS - will only be accepted in their original sleeve or case.  This goes without saying that no "R" rated music or movies are accepted.

  • Mature Video games - will be heavily inspected. Not all "M" games are acceptable for our sale.

  • Bedroom slippers

  • Books – Only children's books accepted

  • Pack-n-plays - Are accepted but they must be assembled at inspection for approval

  • Stuffed Animals - Only those that walk, talk or play music. We will accept Build-A-Bear and Webkinz. Please don't bring them otherwise. They will be pulled from the floor. 

  • No diaper bags or blankets - that come from the hospital
