Delivery to School Option:
Stock permitting, all orders placed by mail-order or on the web are usually dispatched to arrive with the school directly within 28 days (however, on average, 14 days). If you require the items urgently, we recommend opting for a direct delivery to your home or work place.
Please note, if you select this option and the school will not accept a delivery (as a school must opt-in for this option to be available), we will contact you for the option to change your delivery to home/work (this may be subject to a delivery charge).
School Uniform Direct cannot be held liable for any delay in receiving your order due to situation beyond our control. Including and not limited to: the school not accepting the delivery, being closed at time of delivery and any further reason beyond School Uniform Direct’s control.
Customers will be notified when the items will be dispatched by School Uniform Direct to the school. However, it will be the onus on the school to make the order available to you at their own discretion and time.
Once the order has left School Uniform Direct dispatch, all delivery liabilities and timescales are that of the School and has not direct bearing on School Uniform Direct.
Collect from Store Option:
Stock permitting, all orders placed by mail-order or on the web are usually dispatched to arrive with the store within 5-7 Working Days. However School Uniform Direct cannot be held liable for any delay in receiving your order due to situation beyond our control.
Customers will be notified when the items will be dispatched by School Uniform Direct to the specified store via e-mail. The customer should not assume that the items will be available at the store for collection, without first receiving a ‘dispatch e-mail’, the dispatch email will also indicate what products are available for the click and collect at the store and which items are unavailable.
School Uniform Direct will not be held responsible for any expenses in arriving at the store and not being able to collect the order without having received a confirmation dispatch and collection email. For the avoidance of doubt, this is NOT A CONFIRMATION OF ORDER e-mail – but instead a specific dispatch and collection email notifying you that the order is ready for collection.
When a product or garment is not available, the item may be placed on backorder and or cancelled from the order. It is the responsibility of the customer to decide upon waiting for the complete package to arrive or to collect the remaining items. If School Uniform Direct think that it is a delivery timescale is not suitable they will go on to cancel the items and refund any monies paid. Though we will attempt to contact the customer, we cannot guarantee that this will happen and you will only be notified of the items that have been dispatched to the store.
