Effective 1st July 2026
New pricing – surcharges and freight

Pricing Update Notice

At The Uniform, we remain committed to providing quality products, reliable service, and competitive pricing.

Like many businesses across Australia, we continue to experience increasing costs from suppliers, decorators, freight providers, and service partners. While these costs continue to rise, we have worked hard to minimise the impact on our customers and have avoided making broad increases to our product pricing wherever possible.

Rather than increasing the cost or our products across the board, we are working on keeping the cost of your uniform items unchanged.  To help offset some of these rising operational costs, we will be introducing a small number of targeted service and freight adjustments from 1 July 2026.

Small Order Surcharges

Our suppliers continue to apply higher charges for low-volume production runs, and the administration, processing, and setup requirements for smaller orders are often similar to those of larger orders.

To help cover these additional costs, the following surcharges will apply:

Orders Under 10 Items
  • Orders containing fewer than 10 items will incur a 20% small order surcharge, per item.
Embroidery Orders Under 10 Items
  • Orders requiring embroidery with fewer than 10 items will incur a flat $15 embroidery surcharge per order.
Individual Naming & Bagging Service

For many years, we have provided complimentary individual naming and bagging of staff uniforms.

We understand the convenience this service provides, particularly when distributing larger uniform orders, as each employee’s items arrive clearly labelled and packaged together.

From 1 July 2026:

  • Individual naming and bagging will be charged at $0.50 per item.
  • When placing your order through our online portal, simply select the Naming & Bagging option if you would like this service included.
  • If this option is not selected, all items will be packed neatly together within the shipment but will not be individually labelled or packaged by staff member.

Freight Pricing Update

We have historically maintained a flat freight charge of $18 per satchel or box Australia-wide. Unfortunately, freight costs have increased significantly over recent years, making it necessary to update our freight pricing structure.

Australia-Wide Freight Rates

Freight Type Rate
Small Satchel $15
Large Satchel $18
Medium Box $22
Large Box $28

For larger orders, we will continue to source the most competitive freight quote available and provide pricing accordingly.

For regular ongoing orders, the above flat-rate freight structure will apply Australia-wide.

Thank You

We greatly appreciate your ongoing support and understanding.

These changes allow us to continue delivering the quality products and service you expect while keeping product price increases to a minimum wherever possible.

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please don’t hesitate to contact our team.
