Parents

2nd Hand Uniforms

Please read the details below if you are interested in using the service:

Your second-hand uniform can be dropped now at 25 Duthie Street, Karori and from April 13th at the College of Education main reception (Mon-Fri 8.30am-4.00pm).

Only good quality Pirates' Hoodies and T-shirts will be accepted. Any damaged, soiled or heavily worn items will be returned to you.

Please secure the attached form to each item with your name, email address and price. Consider your price carefully and please mark it to sell!

No advance payments are made. I will contact you by email when your item sells and ask you to collect your money within 3 weeks. If you don't do so the money may be donated to the club.

The club has no uniform storage facility so I store all stock at home. If I run out of space I may ask you to collect items that have been held for more than 3 months. I will be happy to keep your details if I cannot store your item in case someone asks for it in the future.

Whilst I will endeavour to look after your item(s), neither I nor the club will take any responsibility for loss or damage of your uniform. Hoodies and T-shirts are left for sale at your own risk.

I welcome your feedback and assistance with this service. Hopefully it will be successful and we can continue to run it on a more permanent basis?

Finally...

If you want to buy second hand uniform yourself, please email me to discuss what is available

Kind regards

Amy de Boer
Uniform Co-ordinator
