Did you know? Hammy Downs has a super simple buy sell trade program!
Bring the items your child no longer uses into the store for CA$H or store credit😍!
We accept all things child related! Apparel, equipment, room decor, toys, diapers etc! We accept sizes preemie-18 youth/teen, and maternity!
✅Launderable items such as clothing shoes blankets etc, earns you store credit.💚💯 Non-launderable items such as strollers walkers bouncers etc earns you cash💲💸 or store credit.
✅Store credit can be used towards purchasing anything in the store, and it doesn't expire.
✅No appointment necessary, just limit your trade to two totes and bring your items in any time we are open and accepting trades.
✅For safety reasons your items must be FRESHLY LAUNDERED, laid FLAT in a tote or hard container. ABSOLUTELY NO TRASH BAGS!
✅ All trades must be CLEAN, in working condition, charged/with batteries, and with all of their pieces.
✅ TWO TOTE LIMIT! You can only bring two totes to trade at a time. All items that can fit in the tote need to be in the tote, but not piled like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Please keep in mind > If you can't lift the tote, neither can we. You can come trade as often as you like, but only two totes at a time.
❌ We do NOT accept items in trash bags. We WILL NOT accept trash bag trades! NO EXCEPTIONS!
❌ We will NOT process trades that are thrown into a container, covered in animal hair, have a foul odor, smoke odor etc. We will return your trade so that it can be freshly laundered and laid flat.
❌ We will not accept pajamas that are not a set (ex: no tops without bottoms)
❌ We cannot make an offer on anything that is dirty, broken, outdated, expired, missing its pieces or missing it's safety straps. Your child's safety matters.
🚫 We do not offer cash for clothing.
💚 Bonus points for items that have their buttons buttoned, snaps snapped, and zipper zipped.
💚 Wipe down your shoes
💚 Match your outfits together
💚 Put toys or items that have multiple pieces together in a bag in your trade tote
💚 Batteries in anything battery operated
💚 Equipment clean! Most equipment has machine washable covers that are easily removed for a quick cleaning before you bring it to us.
💚Bonus points for NAME BRANDS and boutique! We accept all seasons, all sizes and all brands year round unless otherwise noted.
💜💙🩵 If we turn down items in your trade, don't take it personally. We get dozens of trades daily and have to be quite selective with processing and choose items that our Hammy Family members want and need. Sometimes we just have a surplus and cannot accept every item. 🩵💙💜
*****TRADES ARE PROCESSED SAME DAY***
TRADE CUT OFF TIME IS 5:30. If you drop off your trade, you MUST pick up the same day! If you drop you trade off after cut off time you MUST pick up your trade the next day. If you leave your "no's" they will be donated to the 25 cent bins. NO EXCEPTIONS.
We are a family owned and operated small business and we process dozens of trades daily! Following the guidelines for trades helps us to get through your trade faster, make you a better offer, and keep our Hammy Family safe.
**Quality over quantity**
