2021-2022 School Uniform Information via McCarthy Uniforms:
This year, McCarthy is recommending early shop times to avoid late-August line ups. Long wait times will be the reality this year, given that McCarthy's must adhere to strict social distancing measures and simply can't accept normal in-store volumes. In some cases, only five customers will be permitted in stores at any one time. McCarthy's has informed us that to support families during this time they have implemented an installment payment program (online only), introduced volume discount buying options and invested in a variety of web support tools to make online shopping easy & fast! All school uniform products can be exchanged for up to a year and returned until September.
Below are three ways to shop for school uniforms.
There are three ways to shop for your school uniform: 1. Your School E-Store Did you know your school has a custom e-store, complete with fit videos, uniform guides and specialized advice? Visit your school store by 'searching for your school' on McCarthy Uniforms' home page. McCarthy's recently launched a handy web chat feature and have staffed their call-centre so that you can have the support you need if you need some help along the way ! Online shoppers can also now enjoy the industry's first flexible payment plan (interest-free payments over six weeks !). |
Shop online by 'searching for our school' at: www.mccarthyuniforms.ca |
2. Private Appointments Available When stores are permitted to reopen after June 14th, appointments will be made available for virtual or in store shopping. To manage your time, you can book an appointment on your home store, accessible on the website below. |
Book a personalized fitting by choosing 'book an appointment' on your home store site accessible on: https://www.mccarthyuniforms.ca/ (search for your school; appointment booking buttons are located on your school e-store) |
