4 Ways to Get the Best Prices On Your Medical Scrubs

Savvy customers maximize the value of each dollar whether on personal expenses or work related expenses especially in a challenging economy.   If you are purchasing medical uniforms for yourself or for your medical office or clinic, finding quality scrubs at an affordable price is easier than you think if you keep a few basic principles in mind, ask some questions and shop around.

The first option is local retail stores.   The advantage to a local retail store might be that you can try items on and take them home immediately after purchase.  However, the disadvantage may be that local retail stores are limited in space and often cannot stock the wide variety of colors, sizes, inseam lengths and styles that a catalog warehouse might offer.  Additionally, because local retail stores cannot store bulk purchases or uniforms, they often cannot take advantage of manufacturer special pricing or closeout special sales.  That sometimes results in higher prices.  If you are purchasing for a large group or clinic, local stores may not have the inventory on hand to meet the demands of your group especially if your group needs plus sizes, tall inseams or petite lengths.   If you know your size and any color restrictions imposed by your employer, then shopping online for medical uniforms and scrubs may offer the best value for your dollar.

First, check for quality and a variety of brands you are familiar with.  Most reputable online medical scrubs vendors offer a variety of name brand uniforms such as Cherokee, Dickies, White Swan and Grey’s Anatomy.  Additionally, many offer an opportunity for customers to leave feedback on the product pages.  If you are free to select any brand you’d like, but you are not sure about which is the best, ask co-workers and check for product reviews by past customers.   Some vendors offer extremely  inexpensive medical uniforms and scrubs which may at first look very attractive to your budget, but sometimes discount scrubs may not stand up to the rigors of your job and multiple launderings.   If it is available, sign up for e-mail promotions from your uniform vendor.  That is an excellent way to receive notice of special scrub sales, shipping promotions or new items that may interest you.   If your online vendor offers a sale or clearance section, that is another excellent resource for affordable medical uniforms and scrubs.

Check the return policy.  A reputable online scrubs vendor should have an easily accessible customer service section where you can find the answers to questions regarding return policy, sizing, shipping costs and how to contact the scrubs vendor directly.  When you are shopping online, there are two critical pieces of information that you need before completing your purchase.  First, what is the price of shipping to your address?  Many scrubs vendors offer discounted or free shipping promotions with a minimum purchase.  Pooling orders with co-workers in an excellent way to save on shipping costs when purchasing your medical uniforms online.  Second, what is the return policy?  If items don’t fit, how much time do you have to send them back?  Will the vendor send exchange merchandise back out to you if you request it?   Taking just a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the policies of your online medical scrubs vendor can make your shopping experience quick and easy, but also affordable and hassle free.

Online shopping for medical uniforms and scrubs offers the ease of shopping when it’s convenient and where it’s convenient.  No worries about whether the store is still open after work and no concerns about whether your size or color is in stock when you get there.   Medical personnel work long and strenuous hours so flexibility and efficiency are critical.
