They are mainly for school uniforms with a a rack or so of medical scrubs and coats. They do not list the prices on individual items because their prices are, to quote, «variable…they vary from day to day.» When asked to get a «variable» price for my purchase, they said No. So my price was $ 0 since I decided not to buy here: like their prices, my purchasing decisions are«variable.» I like businesses that have pricing on their items– imagine going to Safeway and having to ask the price of every item!!!

They are extremely expensive which is a bit disappointing considering the fact that my kids also have to pay tuition. I think they should go down a tad bit on their prices. Expecially since they don’t always have what I need when I need it.

Our private school has had Bancroft come to our school and sell us uniforms for years. I have never had a good experience with them and this year was same. I called in advance to have my order ready when I got there and they told me that it was too late for that(I called 4 days in advance) because the truck was already loaded. When I asked if they could make sure the things I needed were in the truck(they never bring what I need), they told me they could not. The lady on the phone assured me they did not have an inventory of what was in the truck. Incredulous! Sure enough, when I got there and waited in line for over an hour(they never have enough people checking out), they didn’t have what I needed and I had to order it. It won’t be here before school starts… again. :(

I took my little one school uniform shopping for the first time and I will admit I was nervous, excited, and wistful all at once. I walked into this old school storefront at the corner of Bancroft and Dutton and was immediately greeted by a group of diverse, young staffers(it seems none of them was over 21.) I admitted it was my first visit so my clerk, Patrique, walked me through the list of our school’s uniform offerings and then found my daughter’s sizes. We went to the fitting room, made a few size adjustments, and then my daughter played with Legos at a table while I was helped at the cash register. Patrique revisited each item I was purchasing, its price, and the store’s return/exchange policies. Her professionalism made what could have been a bittersweet, hectic outing into a positive one.

Helpful and friendly staff. **Close to Oakland** Very convenient. Competitive prices. Why doesn’t our school, Corpus Christi, have our contract with Bancroft Uniforms rather than that store we are forced to use in SF. Yes, San Francisco. What’s up with that.

I went here all the time when I was in a private school and this was the place to buy them. I went to Saint Joachim School and graduated in 1997!!! The family who owned this place is always helpful and generous to everyone who comes in. They have huge selections of uniforms for all private and charter schools! The prices are very reasonable compare to other uniform shops. Inside of the store is a little dark, but you get adjusted to it. Awww, fun memories… hehe!!!
