Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I determine what size to order?
A: The size chart, linked on each product page, provides measuring tips and the best fit per size based on your student's measurements. You may also call customer service (877.825.2860) for assistance. Please note, our fit is a more traditional, true to size fit than other uniform brands.
Q: How do I navigate your website?
A: Our website is designed to be simple and intuitive. Here is a quick overview of the steps:
-Find your school using your school’s unique code or school name.
-Your child’s grade, gender, and program is required at login to ensure you are shopping only the items and colors that are approved.
-You may shop using the filters on the left navigation.
-Once you’ve selected a product, the logo details are setup according to your school administration requirements.
-If the logo is required, you will not be able to add the item to your shopping cart without it. If the logo is optional, you will be given the choice to apply it or not.
-If the logo is not allowed, no logo option will appear.
If you feel you need further assistance, our Tutorial page will walk you through the site or you may call customer service at 877.825.2860.
Q: How can I tell what the uniform requirements are for my child?
A: Once you have logged into your school store with your child’s grade and gender, you will see the uniform items specific to that student’s grade and gender. Uniform items are designated as either Required (your child has to wear this product), Meets Requirement (this is one of multiple styles that can be worn to meet the school requirement), or Optional (this does not have to be purchased but is allowed to be worn in school).
Q: What if I cannot find my school on the FIND YOUR SCHOOL page?
A: If you cannot find your school on the FIND YOUR SCHOOL page, please contact our customer service at 877.825.2860.
Q: How do I apply a logo to my uniform?
A: Your school’s custom website manages the logo requirements for you. If the logo is required, you will not be able to add the item to your shopping cart without it. If the logo is optional, you will be given the choice to apply it or not. If the logo is not allowed, no logo option will appear.
Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
A: We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
Q: Do you have coupon or promotion codes for order discounts?
A: We price our items at everyday low prices so you don't need to watch for promotions or coupon codes. Occasionally, we do work directly with our schools to run limited time promotions specifically for your school. By joining our email list, you will be made aware of these promotions and any others that may occur.
Q: I found a coupon code online. Why won’t it work?
A: We value the relationship we develop with every school and every customer, which is why any valid coupon code will always come directly from us to you or be passed along by your school administration. We have no association with coupon websites offering fabricated or invalid codes and, as such, are unable to honor them.
Q: I have a Tommy Hilfiger coupon code but it is not working. What’s going on?
A: Our dedicated inventory of school uniform items are managed separately from all other Tommy Hilfiger products. Since the divisions run independently of each other, coupon codes are not interchangeable.

Q: When will I be charged for my order?
A: Your credit card will be charged when your order goes into production.
Q: Why is “Global Schoolwear/May Avenue” charging me?
A: Global Schoolwear/May Avenue is the web host and service provider for School Uniforms by Tommy Hilfiger.

Q: What is the UPS Pickup Point option I see while checking out?
A: This is a service we offer our customers that gives you the option to have your order shipped to an UPS approved pickup location (such as a UPS store, CVS, etc.) rather than home delivery.
Q: Why would I choose a UPS Pickup Point location instead of home delivery?
A: This is an ideal delivery solution for various reasons. Examples include orders that are being delivered to areas that may have a higher package theft rate. Delivery locations in which the driver requires a signature for delivery, but the residents are not typically home during delivery hours. Or a guest is not going to be home for a few days, when the package is likely anticipated to be delivered.
Q: How long will the UPS Pickup Point Location hold a package?
A: Packages are held for 7 days. After 7 days they are shipped back to the sender. Packages shipped back to us may be resent to the customer, but the customer is responsible for the additional shipping fees. This timeline cannot be extended.
Q: Can I reroute a package that has shipped, if I change my mind?
A: No, there is no option to reroute once the package ships.
Q: For UPS Pickup Point deliveries, how can I find out the open hours of the location I shipped it to?
A: The hours are noted when selecting a pickup point during checkout. Also, the order email confirmation lists the business name and address selected in the SHIPPING ADDRESS section. You may contact the business directly to confirm pickup hours.
