“Friendly and helpful in store and easy website and reasonable delivery on out of stock items . Well worth going in store if unsure on sizing.”

“We went to the school to purchase the school uniform at a pop up shop. Had 11am appointment, early so expected to be able to try on all sizes. They didn’t have many of the sizes needed or any of the uniform the purchase there and then. Had to come home and order online still not knowing the size needed. Once I ordered the uniform it stated delivery 7-10 days. Waiting well over 4 weeks for the uniform to arrive. Not good service at all. Now going away and not much time to change wrong size uniform. Having ordered on 2nd July I thought I wld be organised and plenty of time. It is now 17th august and going away it will be a rush to get organised for the start of school. Not impressed at all.”

“When the parcel arrived and was opened none of the uniform apart from one item came in a sealed packet or had any labels on them. Truthfully it all looks second hand. Very disappointed spending all the money expecting nice uniform to arrive and be presented the way it did.”

We are sorry to hear that you weren't happy with the goods you received as that is not what we would have hoped for. I can assure you that the goods you received were all brand new and the clothing we use is all approved and often dictated by the schools themselves. With regards to your concerns over packaging and tags, please let me explain. We very rarely package items individually as we are conscious of the impact on the environment and therefore try to avoid excessive packaging (especially plastic packaging). With regards to the labels, this would be due to us sending out freshly embroidered items. Again, in an attempt to avoid wastage, we would only put tags on our items when they reach our stock room so that they can be sold in the shop.

“Dreadful service. Ordered and paid for home delivery. Over almost 3 weeks later was told my order had to be delivered to school. Postage refunded but over 2 months since ordering I still dint have my items.”

Good afternoon Sarah. I am sorry that you are dissapointed with the service you have received with your order. Our instructions with the leavers hoodies come from the school. Firstly, the reason for the long lead time is due to the fact that these hoodies are made to order and we are required to wait for the 'closing date' that we advertise on the listing for the hoodie before we can commence production. In this instance, our instructions were to deliver all hoodies to the school and for this reason, the listing clearly stated to select school delivery for your free delivery to school. Unfortunately, we are unable to disable the deliver to home option from our website and we do ask the school to communicate this out to the parents placing orders to avoid such problems. As you have mentioned, as soon as we became aware of the fact you had paid a delivery cost, we did in fact refund the cost of delivery. I can confirm that your order was shipped to the school on the 13th July and I can only apologise on their behalf for you not having received your items. If you would be kind enough to contact the school regarding this matter, I am sure they will be able to confirm that they do in fact have your order.

“Sizes were at least one size smaller than labelled (child is 11 and normally wears age 12 clothes, ordered age 13 to allow growing room and it is a very snug fit), and print quality was poor. We were committed to this supplier as it had been chosen by the school, and no returns due to bespoke print.”

Good morning Keith, I am sorry to hear that you aren't happy with your order. In terms of fit, we do put as much sizing information on our website as possible so that people like yourselves who are buying remotely can get as good a fit as possible. I will however, in light of your feedback, look into what other information we might be able to use for our online listings to help parents when sizing their items. In terms of the print quality - I am very sorry to hear this and this is not what we aim for at all. If you could send me an email on schoolwear@redoakroller.co.uk explaining the issues you have found with the print, then I will do my upmost to find a resolution for you as we do aim to send out high quality goods and we would like to understand how you feel we have fallen short on this.

“Yes I was very happy with the order. But I was disappointed that I was charged postage to come to my house and they sent it to the school for free postage. I lost postage money over this”

Hi Kate Thank you for your honest review and I am sorry you felt disappointed in this instance. As per my email to you when you raised the issue with us on Friday of last week. We do request that the school inform all the parents that when ordering hoodies, if they do inadvertently use the 'deliver to home' option rather than the 'free delivery to school', that the payment of delivery costs may not be picked up by us due to us automatically using the 'send to school' option in our despatch department. I am sorry if the school did not pass this information to you. However, also as per my email to you on Friday, as soon as this issue was highlighted to us, we confirmed that we were more than happy to refund your delivery cost. As per my email on Monday (the very next working day), I can confirm that your delivery costs have been refunded and so I am happy to say, that you have not lost the postage cost for this order.

“I paid for my daughter's leaving sweat shirt to be posted to my house, instead it was sent to the school. Why ask what I want if its ignored anyway. Paid £4.95 for what?”

Thank you for your review and I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed with our service in this instance. We do give instructions to the school to pass on to the parents regarding ordering using the FREE school delivery option. I am sorry if the school did not pass these instructions on to you. The school DO NOT allow us to send these hoodies out individually and insist that they are given out at the school. Unfortunately, our website does not give the option to disable the facility to pay for delivery, which is why we are so careful to let the school have the instructions to save the parents delivery. If you had contacted us, we would have been more than happy to refund your delivery cost for you and of course, I will happily do so for you now.
