Privacy Policy

We want you to have the best shopping experience possible. We deeply value the relationship we have with our customers and are committed to responsible information-handling practices. Therefore, we do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others.
Furthermore, we will not disclose any information that identifies you to a third party without your prior approval. We primarily use the information we collect to update you on any orders you place. We may also periodically notify you about new services or special offers we think you’ll find valuable. If you would rather not receive this information, you may send an e-mail to info@wcuniforms.com with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line.
We reserve the right to change, modify, or amend this policy at any time. If we make any significant change(s) to this policy, they will be shown on this page, highlighted with an ‘effective from’ date.
Order Confirmation
Our automated order confirmation notification does not signify our acceptance of your order. Nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell.
Order Acceptance – At any time after receipt of your order request, we may accept, decline, or place quantity, or other limits on your order for any reason. We may impose these limits on a per-person, per household, per order, or any other basis. If we reject, limit, or otherwise modify your order, we will attempt to notify you using the e-mail address or telephone number you provide to us. If we need to cancel an order, or part of an order, that you’ve been charged you, we’ll refund you the full amount of the canceled portion of the order.
Dropshipping – Like other online retailers (even the big names like Wal-Mart, Costco, Home Depot, Wayfair, Target, and many others), some products are drop-shipped to you directly from various manufacturers/suppliers we partner with. If you place an order that we find is out of stock at the supplier level, we will let you know as quickly as we can. This will usually be within hours.
Pricing Errors – All orders are subject to acceptance and confirmation by us. We reserve the right to correct any pricing errors
Availability – In-stock merchandise is usually shipped within 2 business days, once billing information has been verified. Please be sure to provide complete shipping and billing information to avoid possible delays.

Shipping Information
Unless we have any free shipping specials, shipping costs are paid by you from the shipping point (F.O.B. shipping point).
Importance of Shipping Insurance
Shipping insurance is an essential aspect of any online purchase, as it helps protect you against the unforeseen risks associated with the shipping process. By opting for shipping insurance through our partner, Route [www.route.com], you gain peace of mind knowing that your order is covered in case of loss, damage, or theft during transit. This coverage ensures that you will be reimbursed or have your order replaced promptly, depending on the policy terms, should any of these unfortunate events occur.
Liability Waiver for Uninsured Shipments
Please be aware that if you choose not to opt for shipping insurance, our company cannot be held liable for any loss, damage, or theft of your order while in transit, or after delivery. By opting out of shipping insurance, you expressly agree to bear full responsibility for any potential risks associated with the shipping process, and acknowledge that you will not seek reimbursement or replacement from our company in case of any such issues.
Any claims made for lost shipments (in whole or in part) or merchandise damaged in transit are to be filed against the carrier by YOU. We will assist you in filing claims and in follow-up. However, you agree to pay us the invoice price on the due date for this merchandise.

This unfortunate trend has led to countless instances of customers not receiving their orders due to theft.

Prop 65
WARNING: Some products may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65, officially the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a law that requires warnings be provided to California consumers when they might be exposed to chemicals identified by California as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. The warnings are intended to help California consumers make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals from the products they use. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) administers the Proposition 65 program and publishes the listed chemicals, which includes more than 850 chemicals. In August 2016, OEHHA adopted new regulations, effective on August 30, 2018, which change the information required in Proposition 65 warnings.
