Cruzin Kidz Boutique and Consignment

I stop by this consignment store at least every couple of weeks (for past 3 years) looking for items for my grandchildren. I am always treated with respect and observe other customers being treated the same. Clothing, toys, shoes, etc displayed nicely. I like how you can «shop in season» too! Very happy we have this place in Woodinville!

Unfortunately, this store is a disappointment for both buying and consigning.
The prices are too high for consignment.
The staff is unprofessional and its obvious they dislike being there. I went in today, to both buy and consign some Holiday and Winter gear.
I went up to the counter to make my purchase, and stood there for THREE minutes while the cashier gossiped on her cell phone. It was clearly a personal call. Finally, she helped me. It was 10:50 am. I told her I had some things to consign. She told me I had 10 more minutes to wait before she would look at what I had, since they start consigning at 11am. The store was LITERALLY EMPTY except for me. Alas, I would still have to wait.
She then began to tell me how flakey consignors are, and that they have at least 20 consignors ahead of me that needed to get put out on the sales floor. They get SOOO much stuff its impossible to keep up with.
Between the 3 min wait for her to get off the phone, the complaints about consignors, and the overwhelming feeling I got that SHE was doing ME a favor, I decided not to consign and either give my high quality clothes to someone who would otherwise end up shopping there, or trying my hand at Offer Up. At 40% of sales going back to me, I can simply sell my items for 50% of what their typical prices are, and make a better profit.
This store is really a disappointment. Try your luck at Value village for second hand kids stuff first.
I gave it the 2^nd star bc it is a well laid out store, and the items are clean. IMO, not a good enough reason to shop here.

I had heard from others that the older woman that works there was rude or snobby, but I tried not to let that bias my view. I went in and she seemed to fit that description, but the place was clean and I really wanted to like it to have a local consignment shop, so I thought I’d give her some more chances. One visit I noticed she was all friendly and non stop talk to me the one time I went in dressed very nicely… Today, I went in in my sweats, glasses, a hat, not had a shower yet… and she was very short and turned my things away for consigning without looking. She said she was overrun this week, so that was fine, I understood all the moms with kids back to school had brought things in. But then another woman walked in with a huge bag, AND SHE TOOK IT?! I had some really nice things and even if I didn’t that kind of snobbery and discrimination is not what I believe in. I will not return to this store.

I love this place! Always able to find some great steals on higher end brands. For people that complain about pricing, they sell better quality and brands than most… So don’t expect stained Carter’s here.

I didn’t have a good experience the first couple times but they have started having more sales and I am finding deals there now. I gave it another shot I’ve bumped my review from 2 to 4.

My daughter came into this consignment shop one day and because she had never been there before started asking questions to the gal that was working. She asked if she was taking items and the girl rudely said no we’re not can’t you see the sign on the door I don’t have enough baskets. My daughter was quite taken back and thought this place for being a kids place wasn’t very friendly. A couple weeks later she decided to walk with a friend down there because she showed up 5 minutes before they opened the owner rudely said you have to wait i have to get things out. Now I know people are grouchy in the morning but if you’re going to own a business maybe change the tone of your voice and how you talk to people if you want to come back!

I really wanted to like this place… close, convenient, cute stuff, but it is overpriced for a consignment store.
I found a couple of puzzles that my kiddos really wanted so I bought them. At home we were putting the puzzles together and not one, but BOTH puzzles were missing pieces. One had other random pieces from a completely different puzzle (probably to make it seem like all 40 pieces were there?!?).
I tried to go back to explain that they sold me defective items and they said their policy is no returns end of story. Completely rude and unapologetic. I ended up getting half credit or something silly like that and I was like what is $ 4 of credit going to buy? Absolutely nothing, so I would end up just spending more money at this place! Super frustrated.

Meh. I have TRIED to like this place, but they continue to be out of touch with pricing. I’ve had a much better experience in Duvall and Redmond. Plus, I never seem to get an itemized receipt indicating what I paid for an item, any discounts, or store credit (consignor) applied. A credit card receipt for $ 44 (heads up: shopper pays the 3.5% credit fee) and 4 – 5 pieces of clothing. Disappointing overall IMO as a buyer and consignor.

This place is visually awesome. It’s clean, inviting and full of great looking merchandise. It has one major flaw, the prices. They are seriously way overpriced, a lot of the stuff is marked extremely close to brand new store prices. It sucks because I’m sure that they’re the typical small business, that’s trying to survive. Just not sure the high prices constitute surviving in this economy. Good luck!

I would definitely have to agree with the other reviews. I have been in this store about 4 times since moving to the area and have had only one pleasant interaction while visiting. There is an older women working there with short hair who was very friendly and informative, but the younger female is quite standoffish and brash. I will be taking my business elsewhere and suggest the owners/​employees consider improving customer service.

Staff was very rude and seemed inconvenienced that a customer had interrupted their chatting. It was overpriced and not kid friendly. It was tidy in there though. Still, I won’t be going back.

I completely agree with Diana B and will not be returning to the store — completely pretentious and more expensive than other consignment stores I have visited. I will not be back.

This place is a hidden jewel. Unlike your average kid’s consignment shop, they are very selective about what they take. No faded, stretched out stuff here whatsoever. A great deal of it is higher-​end brands, so don’t expect garage sale prices. (We’re on the Eastside, people.) But you will pay less for high quality, virtually new, name-​brand children’s clothing, shoes, toys, books and more than you would elsewhere.

SELLERS BEWARE! Because this store often hosts a «buy one get one free» sale (practically once a month) you will drop off 20 items as I did and take home $ 13 a couple months later. NOT worth my time and effort of ironing the clothes (as the owner suggested so they would sell faster) driving them to their store and driving back to pick up my whopping pay off. I will no longer use their consignment — I’m donating them instead and getting a tax write off that will be more than what Cruzin Kidz is trying to give me. Waste of my time.
I also agree with Leaping L. — the staff is too snooty, too standoffish and too aloof to be in this type of business.

I had high hopes for this shop based on what I had read in articles for quality consignment shops in parent Map and RedTri website. Unfortunately, I found it to be a bit pretentious and snobby! I brought in a bag of clothes and the attendant seemed indifferent and unfriendly. My daughter had to use he bathroom and we were told to make sure to clean up after her. Who does that?! I was looking at buying a Baby Bjorn bouncer and when I brought it to the front counter I was told it was on hold. I explained, ‘but its on the floor’ and the response was, ‘well it is.’ If its on the sales floor then it’s on sale! Otherwise set it aside. Just unfriendly, unwelcome vibe!
My recommendation, go to Small Threads on Gilman in Issaquah. Love love love it in comparison!

There are some pros and cons to this place:
Pros: Great layout, clean and organized. Some consignment shops have that thrift store feel and smell, but this place has a retail feel to it. Great location in Woodinville.
Cons: There prices are high. I think they are choosy about what they will consign, but sometimes I just want to get some good deals and am not always looking for high end or brand name. Their selection for girls seems great, but their selection for boys is very limited. I think they should consider accepting more (especially boys) instead of being so particular. They need to really expand the boys section.
Also, I don’t get a great warm fuzzy feeling here from the owners and staff. They aren’t super friendly.
