Welcome to CareFreeCasuals.com!
We Don't Mean to Brag… But People Know Us.
So here's the part of our site where we get to tell you all the reasons why you should buy your Name Brand Lifestyle Clothing from Carefree Casuals. It's an opportunity for us to come up with a few clichéd phrases on how we're the "Nation's Premier Supplier of this" or the "World's Largest Online Retailer of that". Perhaps we can impress you with a bunch of data on the size and depth of our line or rattle off a few statistics (of which you couldn't verify) on the number of garments we've shipped, supplemented with a laundry list of clients who've made their way through our doors…
Naaah. We'd rather give you the low down on exactly why we're in business, identify a few core values and explain how by shopping with Carefree Casuals we can help to put a few dollars back in your pocket. Hopefully, afterwards you'll feel inspired to give us a try.
A History Lesson (Not Really)
Carefree Casuals was founded in 1993 as a work clothing and uniform provider (Carefree Uniforms), however we quickly learned that work wear was not what inspired us. If you're looking for that type of gear, perhaps we can recommend our sister site at UMIDirect.com. These guys got that stuff down pat! Anyway, our industry was consolidating and the brands that were once only available to the major department stores changed direction and opened their distribution platforms to offers from corporate resellers. That's where Carefree Casuals comes in. We have the industry experience (65 years combined management) and the buying power to attract a collection of well known lifestyle brands and in turn get to share that benefit with the community.
Just exactly how do we choose our brands? Well, Richard Branson when asked exactly how he determines what services to bring to the marketplace reminds himself that he is his target customer. If it's up to the standards of Sir Richard then it should meet the demands of the consumer.
All of which brings us to our Primary Core Value: Reciprocity
The key element of the golden rule is that a person attempting to live by this rule treats all people, not just members of his or her in-group with consideration. The above said, every action taken by every employee of Carefree Casuals is done so in accordance with this belief.
Often we are asked "just how do you guys carry so many line items?" Well the answer is pretty simple. We don't stock anything. That's right, the primary function of Carefree Casuals is to act as a consumer advocate for our clients. We can offer an increased brand selection because we're not burdened with the financial constraints of physical inventory. The way we see it is if the Manufacturer perceived a need for a three pocket golf shirt in "Metallic Pea" who are we to deny the customer access to such a noteworthy design. All kidding aside, the real benefit here is that we've eliminated the middle-man and so you get the goods shipped straight from the source. Buy an Ashworth Golf shirt and it comes directly from Ashworth on our behalf. Buy a pair of Wrangler Jeans and the very same concept applies.
Of course this leads us to our Second Core Value: Efficiency
What is the internet, but for a series of tubes… Now while this infamous quote from Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska does little to describe our industry medium the reality is data output is only as good as the data input. Therefore, the more current and accurate the information the better we can service our customers. Hence, data management and its efficiency is a top priority to Carefree Casuals because we feel the company that masters data efficiency will have a distinct advantage over its competition. Additionally, the same school of thought applies to our deliveries. Since all merchandise is shipped factory direct we experience three distinct benefits:
- Less repackaging means less garbage created.
- Fewer shipments consume less oil generating an immediate savings and reducing our carbon footprint.
- Direct deliveries speeds product receipt.
And who ever thought shopping could be so good for the environment?
The Home Stretch (Literally)
Finally, the reality is that it's tough out there. The economy is not what it used to be and neither is the dollar. Who knows how long it will take for our market to recover, but Carefree Casuals understands that every dollar entrusted to our firm is a discretionary one. You don't have to spend your money with us and if we've earned your business the least we can do is to provide a substantial value in return for your trust. Unlike a traditional department store Carefree Casuals does not mark up its products just so that it can hold a sale. While Carefree does partner with several comparative shopping sites you will always get the best deal directly from our store.
The above statement is indicative of our Third Core Value: Honesty
We will always tell you the facts. If a garment is out of stock you'll be the first to know. If a problem generates in transit you'll get the straight answer from customer service. Should an item be discontinued we will offer you either a suitable alternative or refund your money with no questions asked. In addition, any item may be returned for any reason as long as the product remains in a resalable condition (see our return policy for additional information).
Carefree Casuals didn't set out to become the world's largest anything. Our mission from day one is to become the consumer's first choice for name brand lifestyle apparel and we aim to achieve this goal by satisfying our customers the same way we put on our pants; one leg at a time.
Thank you for your patronage!
