pleasantly surprised. by laura m via Insider Pages on 12/7/2012

The purpose of the store is not to supply parents with cash But to supply children with quality merchandise at a reasonable too low cost!!! The store basically started on the concept of sharing what you can with those who have not or…

People need to be respectful by Riley R via Insider Pages on 4/9/2012

I have recently been into the Once Upon a Child that is in Bristol and those girls are nothing but polite and hard working. Yes they are very young but the ones that I have seen are eager to learn and willing to help people for the most…

WHAT A LET DOWN by Lindsay O via Insider Pages on 2/14/2012

I'm actually a huge fan of Once Upon A Child! I have found absolutely wonderful products at the DANBURY store. Bristol is a bit closer to home, so I decided to check out the OUAC there. I was DISGUSTED by the appearance of the store. …

Im highly upset with what some of you critics have been saying . Yes they give u close to nothing when u sell them your items but, they aren't expensive at all i go there alot to buy for my7 month old and the clothes dont go over 6.50 alot…

I live the store! by Debbie B via Insider Pages on 4/25/2011

I love buying things from Once Upon A Child. However, I too was very disappointed when I tried to sellthem my items. Some were purchased there and hardly used. However, it was explained that their stock was very high. I did not get…

Rude, unhelpful staff by Annabelle B via Insider Pages on 12/29/2010

Once Upon a Child is a good place to purchase clothing, but a terrible place to sell anything. They pay pretty much nothing for brand new or very gently worn clothes, yet their racks are filled with items that are outdated or faded. You…

lailas mom by nicole r via Insider Pages on 10/4/2010

i have sold them some things that were brand new almost and i feel like they did cheat me. and i brought things the same day and what they gave me for my nstuff was ridiculous but i didnt feel like bringing everything back home so i took…

GumdropSwap is the alternative by Diane B via Insider Pages on 5/4/2010

I was unhappy with UOAC and didn't want to donate my 3 kid's clothes and not get anything for them. Then I found this website called http://www.GumdropSwap.com. It's a boutique based in Bridgeport, CT but you can do everything through the…

LOOK ELSEWHERE by Nicole C via Insider Pages on 2/16/2010

I have bought from Once Upon a Child before and been very happy. However, I strongly suggest NEVER selling to them. You will get pennies for qualities merchandise, including clothes. I spent hours sorting through clothes, toys, etc.... and…

jon by jon m via Insider Pages on 1/12/2010

I was so disgusted, I had new clothing brand names with tags, they tried to give me $1.50 for a $32.00 PAIR OF NIKE CHILDRENS NEW SHOES. There are so many new places popping up, don't waste your time there, Bad, Rude customer service. …

RIP OFF!!!!!!!!! by Ericka C via Insider Pages on 1/3/2009

I went to Once Upon a Child with a $350 oak crib. Used less than 2 yrs and was in perfect condition. They wanted to give me $50!!!! Are they crazy?! I knew I wasn't gonna make a lot of money back, but GEESH!! You can't buy a crib like that…

ripoff by Rhianna K via Insider Pages on 11/19/2008

sure its great to buy stuff there, although they are definately on the expensive side for USED items. But selling to them is rediculous! They pay very poorly. Try craigslist, ebay.... anything before going to them. They gave me 40$ for my…

The best store by far! by M K via Insider Pages on 11/17/2007

I shop at Once Upon A Child often and all the people who work there are incredibly nice and very helpful. I am a single mother of 3 children and I have shopped here since my first child (she is now 12) and I still shop there for her too! I…

Children's Attire by Brenda M via Insider Pages on 10/17/2007

We browse Once Upon A Child regularly. We have also brought items to the store for them to purchase. It is very true that they only take decent quality items. It is a place it seems you must frequent often as merchandise is always…

Wouldn't Recommend by Stephanie E via Insider Pages on 7/1/2007

I've found them to be extremely picky in what they will take. Even stuff NWT is not taken. They don't recognize some high end label brands and have offered next to nothing for them.\r \r The staff is less than helpful and unfriendly. My…

meh not impressed by cathy s via Insider Pages on 4/15/2007

I went after reading the gently used part. even the 6/9 month clothing seemed wash worn and not too gently used. The pricing was about the same as most of the childrens clothing stores and almost more than macy's jcpennys clearance…

Once Upon A Child by J V. via Judy's Book on 10/17/2005

This store offers 'gently worn' second hand clothing and accessories for small children. The smaller children's clothing look to be in better condition than some of the older children's clothing. The baby clothing is the best. The store…

Hit or miss by Jennifer S via Insider Pages on 9/30/2005

Regarding infants clothing you can find some real cute stuff in very good condition for a decent price. Also, holiday clothing for Easter and Christmas are abundant and great priced. If you are looking for something like school clothing…
