uniform purchases for the 2020-2021 school year.

Uniform Exchange

We are hoping to have the Uniform Exchange (for used uniforms) open in July by appointment

Prayers

It was so moving to see so many of our students and their families at the Drive-By Goodbye on

Tuesday. Seeing the students and families in person and not from a computer screen was an

awesome way to end the school year. We will continue to keep all our students, families and

extended families in our prayers over the summer. Stay safe and healthy and we look forward to

seeing all of you when we begin school again in August.

FYLNN & O’HARA SCHOOL UNIFORMS

SUMMER 2020

WE ARE NOW SHIPPING (for free!) First and foremost, we are excited to announce that we have begun shipping online and phone

orders from our Philadelphia distribution center! Please note that delivery times will be delayed

as we work back up to full operational capacity. FlynnO’Hara will continue to offer Free

Shipping on all online and phone orders as long as our stores remain closed.

RETAIL STORE UPDATES As of now, all our retail stores remain closed. Reopening dates will be determined on a state-by-

state basis according to local guidelines. We are doing everything in our power to resume

normal business operations as soon as we can, but we will not reopen our stores to foot traffic

until we are confident that the proper measures are in-place, and that our staff is trained to ensure

the safety of both customers & employees.

However when we do reopen, it will be with reduced capacity and highly modified in-store

processes (for example, most stores will only be able to accommodate a fraction of normal foot

traffic, and it’s unlikely that it will be safe for customers to try on products for size). As such,

we strongly encourage families to shop online if they can, and to shop earlier in the season to

avoid an August rush.

DISCOUNTING In order to relieve some of the financial burden of back-to-school shopping, FlynnO’Hara will be

offering discounts ranging from 5%-20% off during the months of June & July. These discounts

will be offered online only. Opt into our FlynnO’Hara emails & follow us on social media (see

the attached flyer). The earlier families shop, the more they’ll save!

SHOPPING-IN-PLACE After 50 years in business, and almost two decades of ecommerce, we know the reasons why

some families prefer in-store shopping to ordering online, namely: sizing concerns, shipping

costs, discomfort navigating online, and an inability to receive packages to their homes.

Knowing that remote shopping will be the safest options for families this summer, we’ve

implemented the following initiatives to these address customer concerns:

FOR THE CUSTOMER CONCERNED ABOUT SIZING: AT-HOME

MEASURING RESOURCES One of the biggest challenges our customers face in shopping online is how to choose the

right sizes for their child. So, we’ve developed the following measuring resources to help

parents make accurate, informed decisions from home:

o At-Home Measuring Tutorial: This short video shows parents how to measure their child for his / her clothing dimensions using either a soft measuring tape or a piece of string. The video then offers guidance on where to find – and how to use – FlynnO'Hara’s size charts to choose the

right garment sizes for each of our uniform products! These videos will be live on our website early next week; in the meantime, view Our girls video HERE!

o At-Home Measuring Kit: Parents who don’t already have a measuring tape at home can easily order an at-home measuring kit from our website. The kit is free and will arrive at their doorstep in just a few days! The order form for this kit will be available on our site early next week.

o Size Charts: Finally, each uniform item at Flynnohara.com now has a product-specific size chart linked beneath the website product listing for parent reference.

o Please note: These resources will live on our website, but we will be sharing them with families via email and our social media accounts as they become available. Once again, it’s important that families opt-into our emails and follow us on social to stay in the loop!

FOR THE CUSTOMER WHO PREFERS A PERSONAL TOUCH: OUR PHONE

LINES ARE OPEN! For customers who prefer a personal touch or are uncomfortable navigating our

ecommerce platform, our customer service team is available Monday-Friday from 9AM-

5PM to take orders over the phone. These hours will be expanding to evenings and

weekends as we move back into the summer season. Up-to-date customer service hours

can be found HERE. Please note, discounts will be applied to phone orders!

FOR THE CUSTOMER WHO CAN’T SHIP HOME: BUY-ONLINE PICK-UP IN-

STORE For customers who have trouble receiving deliveries at home, FlynnO’Hara will be

offering the option to buy online and pick-up orders at one of our local stores. Although

our stores are currently closed, it’s likely that this in-store pick-up option will become

available to families before our stores reopen to foot traffic. We will communicate

directly with schools and customers as soon as we activate this option, which will be

available to choose as a shipping method at check-out on our ecommerce site.

FOR THE CUSTOMER CONCERNED ABOUT ADDED FEES: FREE

SHIPPING! As outlined above, while our stores remain closed, FlynnO’Hara is offering free shipping

on all online and phone orders with promotion code FREESHIP. Once our stores

reopen, we will continue to offer free shipping (minimum order required).

RETURN & EXCHANGE, SCHOOL-YEAR WARRANTY Our sincere hope is that our generous product warranty and return policy will provide some

peace of mind to families shopping earlier this year. As always, FlynnO’Hara will accept returns

/ exchanges on any unworn products (with tags) up to one year from their date of purchase.

Additionally, our school year guarantee remains in effect: if families aren’t satisfied with the

way their uniforms are holding up, we’ll replace them up to one year from the date of purchase –

no questions asked!

FlynnO’Hara Uniforms was founded in 1972, with 15 customers and a mission to provide the highest quality garments coupled with exceptional customer service to schools and students across the United States. We’ve remained family-owned-and-operated since our start, a mentality that impacts every facet of how we run our business. 46 years later, although we’ve grown from 15 schools to over 1500, our mission remains the same.

STAY CONNECTEDDISCOUNTS, STORE OPENINGS & SAFETY UPDATES !

Information, especially now, is constantly changing. Stay up-to-date on the

latest back-to-school uniform information by opting into our emails, or

following us on social! This is where we’ll be communicating COVID-19-

related safety updates, sharing at-home resources, announcing discounts,

etc. We promise we won’t overwhelm your inbox! We’re just sending the

important stuff, focused on making back-to-school shopping as safe and

easy as possible this year.
