More PE gear and jumpers are due mid-late March.
As we all know, Covid-19 restrictions are having a huge effect on the world and New Zealand is not immune to these problems.
Elizabeth Michael Uniforms is fortunate to have only been affected slightly by this global turmoil, but there have been delays to some uniform items. Our overseas factories experienced production delays last year and more importantly freight into New Zealand has been affected. There are problems at overseas ports and the problems at the Port of Auckland have only made this worse.
Added to this have been increases in demand for some uniform items over previous years, due to the school roll increase, meaning we have periodically run out of some sizes of some products.
More PE gear and jumpers are due mid-late March.
Some sock types have been delayed due to the closure of a factory. We are working closely with the new factory to fill any gaps as quickly as possible.
We really appreciate the patience and consideration parents have shown over these delays but please be assured that we are doing everything possible to alleviate any product shortages.
An unintended benefit for our community has been that we are making more product than ever in New Zealand in order to meet demand and our sample room, local cutters and sewers have never been busier.
Thank you for your support and understanding. We look forward to seeing you in the Elizabeth Michael Uniforms shop this year.
