How Do I Consign?
Once you’ve gathered your items, bring them to Lil Sprout Consignment Co. during our designated consignment hours. We currently accept a maximum number of items per drop-off to help keep processing efficient and organized.
If you are located outside the area, mail-in consignments may also be accepted.
Before dropping off your items, please review our Consignment Agreement. A signed copy can also be completed in-store during your first consignment drop-off.
Consignment Standards
All items must be:
- Freshly laundered
- Free of stains, odours, pet hair, and excessive wear
- Folded neatly in a tote, bin, or box
- In excellent, ready-to-sell condition
Please ensure all snaps, zippers, and buttons are fastened before drop-off.
Every item is individually inspected for quality, cleanliness, style, and condition. While we take great care in reviewing merchandise, we are not product safety experts and cannot repair or authenticate recalled or damaged items.
Lil Sprout Consignment Co. reserves the right to decline items that do not meet our shop standards. Unaccepted items may either be returned to you or donated on your behalf to a local family-focused organization.
Because we process many consignments, please allow approximately 3–14 days for accepted items to appear online or in-store. Off-season items may be held and listed at a more appropriate time of year.
After your items are processed, you’ll receive access to your online Consignor Portal, where you can track:
- Inventory
- Sold items
- Account balance
- Store credit
- Payout requests
How Do I Get Paid?
Consignors receive:
- 30% payout by e-transfer, or
- 40% in-store credit
Store credit can be used toward any items in the shop and is a great way to refresh your little one’s wardrobe sustainably.
If you selected the 30% e-transfer payout option, you may request a payout at any time through your consignor account.
Payout requests are typically processed within up to 14 days.
If you selected 40% store credit, your balance will automatically remain available on your account to use toward future purchases in-store or online.
