I'm wrong the review to help someone. I put a uniform order in to ideal 1month before school began and until not I have not received any up day on the order status. I called the store no one could me an update I'm not forced to go in and even then I got no help on the order. pls I mean please do not order online from either location because you will be disappointed and out of money and your order. read more

SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE. Wish I could give 0 stars like many of the other reviews. I ordered my children's uniforms at the beginning of August and everything was in stock when I ordered, the website also advertised 2-5 day shipping which is inaccurate. My order never shipped because one item was out of stock (no one notified me of this delay they just never shipped my items). I had to drive to the physical store the day before school starts because no one could take the time to communicate that there would be a delay in shipping. I called customer service who was completely unhelpful (and seemingly a child?) I wish I never ordered from here and I will not be returning again. Will be reporting them to the better business bureau and telling everyone in my community to shop elsewhere. read more

Save yourself the money and hassle and don't buy from this place online. Placed an online order for two school uniform skirts in girls size 12 in August. A month and several email communication attempts later, they finally responded and shipped the items. When they arrived, the two skirts are not even close to the same size. One skirt has a 27" waist. The other has a 32" waist and has elastic to go even larger. The Ideal Uniform tag inside has a hand-written size number on it, which is clearly wrong as the other skirt has the brand name tags still in it with the correct size tag. And despite paying to have the items shipped to begin with, if you want to get the correct size items, you have to pay to ship the item back to them and just hope that you will even get another item back. No guarantee that would be the right size or item if it ever did come since it took them more than a month to even ship the item to begin with and the two items that have the same item number and size are wildly different in actual size. The two skirts are even at the other side of the waist in the photo and this is the size difference. read more

Ideal Uniforms - Uniforms Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

I experienced poor customer service. Poor inventory management!! They do not work well together and staff used harsh language to describe another staff member, in front of my child. If I didn't truly need uniforms, I would never shop here. read more

I have been waiting for more than 2 months for my order to arrive. When I finally got it, it was the wrong color. It should be navy, but what I got were the black cardigans. The only option the customer service offered was to send it back with a shipping fee. They also told me that if a tag says it is navy, then it is a navy color. I am not colorblind to see the difference between navy and black. Not sure what to do now. read more

Ideal Uniforms - The claim this is navy color. - A clothing tag featuring an A+ rating is attached to a navy-colored garment made of textured fabric. The tag displays the brand's slogan, size YS, and quality assurance information, indicating it is tested and guaranteed. The garment appears to be a uniform or similar apparel, with the tag prominently placed for visibility. - Uniforms Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

Horrible. I understand there are shipping delays, but what I don't understand is the lack of communication and reachability. They don't answer the phone at all. In fact I was told by a sales rep that when it get busy they turn the phones off to the store. So they would rather you waist time to visit the location to get answers about an order placed the beginning of August. Im forced to deal with them because the uniform is exclusive to this company. Its so frustrating that you cant contact them and when you hold 45 minutes they still don't have what you need anyway. Today I called back as I was writing this review and held for over 20 minutes!!! Im hanging up now to drive over there. Wish me luck... Sincerely, Dissatisfied and disappointed. read more

Ideal Uniforms - Time waisted on HOLD - Uniforms Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

Literally the worst business to ever exist. Placed my order on August 15th. A MONTH later and still haven't received my items and after calling for several days to weeks not being able to get an answer on when I will receive them they FINALLY did a partial shipment as "favor". Now going into WEEK 7 and I still have yet to receive my final item which is a fleece jacket after being told that they were getting them in stock 2 weeks ago and an email stating that I should receive it "soon". You call the number and you get a call center with the rudest girls ever that hang up on you after giving you attitude. Can't speak to an owner or a manager unless you go into the store. Why take an order if you don't have an item in stock or you can't get them in. And after SEVERAL emails no answer back from anyone. Joe the owner you NEED to do better than this!! I am a hard working parent and CANNOT go out to purchase other items while you are holding mine with no answer to when I will get them!! DO NOT ORDER from here unless you like paying for stuff and not receive your items. Even 1 star is way too much for this company, I wish I could give ZERO. read more

Ideal uniforms has the worst customer service ever!!! Two years in a row I've attempted to order uniforms for my daughter and was very dissatisfied with the service. The first online order I placed online was to be shipped in 5-7 business days. After two weeks of not receiving my order I finally emailed the company and they replied that they didn't have any of the items i ordered in stock, yet their website did not reflect that. They ended up issuing me a refund but my daughter who's attends a charter school, had to go almost a month without having her uniform. The second online order was placed July 22,2023, it is now August 3 and I still have not received my order. School started on august 28th for my daughter and again she has no uniform for school. This company is the absolute worst and I will not be spending any more money with them. read more

Buyer beware for sure. Still waiting for my online order from well over a month ago. No response from company. This place is a scam for sure. I will be shocked if I receive what I ordered at this point. read more

Store employees are friendly and helpful. Store appears to be fully stocked. Shelves and racks are neat and presentable. My child school uniform is sold here so I've been frequenting the store since before the school year started (Sept 2021) to get a head start However they never seem to have multiple pieces of the bigger sizes I need XL & up so I'm buying maybe one pants & shirt at a time that's my only downside. read more

Terrible I've been waiting for months for a girls jumper and they can't tell me when I can expect it coming...that's very annoying

Back in July I came into this place to purchase my sons uniforms for the year. It's his first year attending school so I didn't purchase much because I didn't know what to expect. Well.. October 2nd I decided to order him 2 more shirts and 2 sweatpants ONLINE. HUGE MISTAKE. I selected XXXS and then THEIR website prompts you to select YOUTH or ADULT. Obviously I select youth because after all he is only 3. Next day I get a phone call from someone to make sure the address is correct. 3 days later package arrives, shirts are perfect size. Pants.. well I ordered a YXS because again THEIR website reverted back to that size well I recieved a medium. So no big deal I call them and tell them about the wrong items and all of a sudden it is my fault? I am told I have to go out of my way to return the items and that I can't ship them back to the store because they have no way of tracking the items. I was so upset that I asked to speak to a manager. Never recieved a call back, two days later I cal again and get a nasty guy on the phone who tells me oh well bring them back and I will exchange it, then continues to tell me they don't have the size I need (2-3). But he will ship them once they "restock". I was livid. Fast forward to today.. I walk-in and was helped by a women with glasses (ONLY person who was nice and sweet) and she helps me exchange the items, and I also purchased 2 more sweatshirts. I then explain what happened and she herself confirmed that a YXS is a size 4 (which Is what I ended up getting today being that they don't have a 2-3). So I kindly ask for a refund on the $8.71 for shipping since their employee mad the error and she said let me call up. Well she calls and is told to tell me "no, my fault I selected it". Well I let her know that indeed it is NOT my fault and your seriously going to charge me $8.71 for shipping In which YOUR employee who shipped the items made the error? She then went to the back to talk to him again, and came out and said he won't refund. I went ahead and disputed the charge of shipping with my bank immediately. I am disgusted with how the person on the other end handled this entire situation. I don't live nearby and had to drive 45 mins EACH way to return items YOUR employee messed up. Should I send a bill for my gas and mileage? Might I add I run a very well established salon that now has 10 locations, and as a manger myself, I would NEVER treat someone with such disrespect as this "manager" did today. Over $8.71.. had you offered a t-shirt or money off the sweatshirt or something.. I would have been fine with that. But instead you chose to hide in the back and let your employee do your dirty work.p read more

This place is the pits. It is so unorganized, they never have the right sizes for our school, and the bathroom is gross. The management is rude and doesn't respond to requests. We use the one in Valley Stream.... Everything is falling apart and dirty and disheveled. They don't have good sizes. The materials are cheap. And the prices aren't great. The fitting rooms are horrible. There was no soap or paper towels or a working drier in the bathroom. They just shrugged when I mentioned this. The lines are long. I have no choice because our school uses this place but if you have the ability to get your clothes anywhere else you should get them somewhere else. The only thing that worked surprisingly well was the credit card machine. read more

Worse place I ordered uniforme for my son a month ago I paid for shipping they charge allready when I call to ask about the shiping they said I have to pick in store I told them I paid allready because I have the receive they do not care at all.I call and they always decline the call . read more

I have repeatedly written this company for the uniforms I ordered almost a month ago. I was told my items would be shipped out a few days later. A lie!... it is now almost a month later and no uniforms. My daughter starts this Monday(tomorrow). These items, which I paid for... still haven't arrived. No tracking # provided and absolutely no help from customer service. The phone rings and no answer. When I write customer service I am ignored. I lost money because of this company! read more

I hate working with this establishment. My daughters school only have the uniform with them unfortunately. They NEVER pick up the phone and you have to keep stopping at the store to get an update on your order. You email for the update and they tell you to call the store who NEVER answers the phone. They Really just take your money and waste your time. Last year I waited two months for an order that Never arrived...I would never allow this kind of customer service at any of my establishments. read more

I normally spend $1000 in school uniforms and this year has been the worst. Customer service at the actual store is horrendous, no sort of professionalism. The new hires have attitudes, doesn't seem like they want to be there. The 10% off will not be applied if you do not say anything. Not helpful at all. Most of the items were unavailable in store so I was instructed to order online. After placing my order, the order showed that it would arrive 2 weeks ago. I have not received anything. My children are wearing gym uniforms and there are no updates. Tried to call the store directly but the calls gets redirected to a "call center". Repress Regina was completely useless, disrespectful and incompetent. Not sure why they created a call center if nothing is resolved. I will never shop here again. I am still awaiting my $400 package and apparently the main uniform is in back order so who know when I will get them. Guess it's gym uniforms until ideal decides to give me my stuff. read more

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE POSSIBLE! Wait time for a phone call we'll over 25 minutes, send an email in the am and Bk response until after they are closed! Placed an order and they kept telling me card was declined(it was not) but they would not charge the card while I was in the phone because it was the "call center" and orders are processed somewhere else, yet they take phone orders! This company is ill equipped for the volume they handle! It's the only company our school used so I am held hostage by this company! Absolutely ridiculous!!!! read more

The day before school and the line stretched down the block 15 minutes before opening. As soon as the doors opened, the attendant was sprinting around getting customers what they needed. Very chaotic, but I got exactly what I needed and was in & out in less than 20 minutes. I will definitely patronize again in the future... read more

No idea for the low star ratings. This place was exceptional to me and my daughter today. The manager and staff helped me with exchanging and sizing. I couldn't ask for better customer service. They were so patient and attentive. Thank you for making my shopping experience a great one! read more

The WORST!!! I ordered fleece for my daughter and I paid cash. They said the delivery will take 2-3 weeks, its been a month and I still didnt get the fleece. They said it was still on the embroidery company and still didnt receive it! Such a liar! When I asked for a refund, they asked for my card so they can put it in. Instead of REFUND they CHARGED me AGAIN!!! The manager MANNY was rude as fuck. read more

I have called this place over 10 times looking for the status of my order and have been lied to on each occasion. First the shirts are being shipped to me this week, call the following week, the shirts are in back order. Call the next time the shirts will be shipped this week. One week later the shirts will not be coming in at all. Ask for a refund and give a credit card number, told it would be applied to my card, LIE. Call again for the refund told it would be applied, LIE again!!! Third time, same result. What is going on here? Are we lying to keep the money for shirts ordered for student uniforms?? Anyone over there want to keep their word? Anyone are to help me? Maybe one of these news investigation shows can help. Maybe that's the next step. read more

The staff here is more competent than the morons at the Brooklyn location. They cater to you and really assist you with items that you need. I like the fact the store is easy to maneuver through unlike the Brooklyn location, where nothing is IDEAL. read more

Customer service sucked! 3 worker behind the registers. No one on the floor to help. I had difficulties finding what I needed had to ask for help with each item. They didn't have my child sized in anything had to get a larger size in almost everything but the shirts. Spent 200+ dollars . The young lady who checked me out forgot my patches and I had to come back. read more

Came to this location order my kids uniforms price was way too high and on top of it they still didn't deliver my daughter gym and its going on three weeks and I never get one of my son gym pants read more

Came to this location for olca uniforms! The prices are way to high , OK me thinking I was going to receive the uniforms with the patch on it was wrong ! You basically purchase the uniform items ... for ex the uniform cardigan an they give you a patch to iron on ! Wtf I could of save my gas + time an stop at cookies were the uniforms are cheaper. The downfall + catch in coming here is the school patches aren't sold separately you have to purchase a uniform item . only the long sleeve t-shirts come with the patch! Although I was disappointed the staff was super helpful ! read more

They are so fast and super friendly staff. If you need an order they will get it for you and super fast. They helped us with our family transition to private school from public school. Can't say enough about them. read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Customer service is useless. Was sent a shipping confirmation on a Thursday with a tracking number that was invalid because my package wasn't actually shipped. It was ready to ship 5 days later. Was unable to speak with anyone from the valley stream store because they stopped taking phone calls which would have been fine if customer service was actually capable of providing any customer service. go on amazon or speak to your school administration before giving this company any of your business. This is my first yelp review but felt it is important for customers to hear this information. read more

THE WORST!!!! run away from this company if you can. HORRIBLE service. lack of organization, lack of staff, lack of commitment. i spend almost 2 months trying to place an order. i have call this place 20 times trying to figure out where is my order, EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES. the thing they good at is charging the money I was charge weeks in advance and even like that they didn't know anything about my order. read more

They are HORRIBLE!!! I am going to do all that I can to encourage my nieces school to partner with another vendor so that there is another choice. They didn't have her size at the pop up store (that happens) I went online and ordered 2 weeks ago they said it was back ordered...I then learned that a new supply was in store. I called and it took 20 minutes to get a live voice I asked that the order be cancelled as Inwould go and purchase the items in store. The operator advised against cancelling although i asked that she do so. Thankfully I managed to buy what my nice needed. Well it turns out they did not cancel as I requested HOWEVER 2 weeks later when they should be mailing my items they cancelled saying products no longer available!!!!! They did this se real years ago with a different niece that I was shopping for. Back then her school had multiple uniform suppliers. If you have a choice don't use these people. read more

I never wrote a review a day in my life because I just don't care to waste my time but this Is beyond .. I purchased uniforms in their store in BK . I asked for royal Blue in scrubs so I was given a color when I get to work it's the wrong color. I called the store in Rockaway which is 1 hour from my house. Do you guys have that color she said I have to come in to see it . I told her I'll get there for 6:45pm and she said the store closes at 7 pm . On my way there I called and said please I'm getting there right at 6:59 pm , she said we close at 7 pm on the dot . I responded I just need an exchange . Her stupid self said hurry ! We' ll see . I get there for 6:59pm. All doors were already close and store was deserted . Luckily for me Some guy was nice enough to open and apologize. He said there nothing he can do since the registers shit down at 7 pm even if I pay cash the store needs records of purchase. I'm extremely aggravated I was stuck in traffic in nasty weather. I called why tell me we close at 7 pm on the dot when I get there for 6:59 pm and all doors were already close . I tried calling at 6:56 and no one answered the phone so I'm assuming they had already close . Why not also mention the registers shut down at 7 pm so if I get there too close I won't be able to make the transaction . My thing is don't tell me one thing and do another . I HATE businesses that have no consideration for customers . I wish I could give a 0 star for the aggravation I just experienced today .. I sat in my car in front of the store just to write this reviews and clearly I'm not the only one that has a bad experience with this store since their ratings are down to nothing! read more

While I found the staff polite, they were basically useless, from the greeter sales girl, to the manager, to the checkout cashier. What happened to customer service? All anyone could say is that my son's uniforms were on back order and "hopefully" the store would receive more supplies within the next 3 weeks. I was then encouraged to place an order online with the checkout girl, AND pay a shipping fee to have the uniforms- when they come- delivered to my home. I could have ordered the items from my computer at home and saved myself the 45 minute drive and 2 $8 tolls. This store is not worth it. read more
