Saint Joseph School Uniform Swap

 

Flynn O'Hara Uniform Store

 

Flynn O'Hara Uniform Store Flynn O'Hara resumed shipping charges for uniform products on Monday, January 18. There is a Flynn O'Hara retail store located at: 489 Old Hook Rd, Emerson, NJ 07630. (201) 634-0111. Please visit the Flynn O'Hara website at the below link. Please see the below statement from Flynn O'Hara: With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic at the start of 2020, Flynn O'Hara Uniforms made the immediate decision to waive shipping charges for all online orders. We knew that by removing the added cost of shipping, we could make it easier for all families to place their uniform orders remotely until the safety concerns associated with in-person shopping had passed.  At the time, we never could have guessed that this crisis would endure for so long. Over the last year, the pandemic's impact on both education and retail has presented significant challenges to our business. Given the added costs we've incurred through our response to the pandemic, coupled with our efforts to keep stores open safely, employees staffed, and prices stable, it is no longer financially viable for us to continue to offer unlimited free shipping.  Effective Monday, January 18, we have made the difficult decision to reinstate our $9.50 shipping & handling fee for online orders. As always, we thank you for your partnership. Although this year has been a difficult one for our business, we understand it has been even more so for your school community. We thank you for your understanding on this matter, and commend you for your incredible work this year. Sincerely, Kevin Flynn & Sean Flynn Co-Presidents   Flynn O'Hara Website
