Ordering Uniform
Hi All,
I am due to start a 6 month contract on Monday (28/2/2013) That is my induction day, Do i have to wait until i've had that before ordering the uniform. Or can i order before hand?
If i can't order it, what is best to wear on the first shift that i have?
Thanks
Vicki

Re: Ordering Uniform
You need your pay number to order stuff,ask at the induction day on what to do.
Good luck.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: Ordering Uniform
You will be able to order it the day after your induction. Even though you already have your pay numbe it doesn't go live until you turn up and attend the induction day. So order it the next working day after your induction.
Hope that helps.

Re: Ordering Uniform
If you are on delivery just wear layers. Jeans are ok but are a pain if its raining. Combat trousers are the best. Do not wear t shirts with offensive language or slogans or massive advertising logos.
If you order the uniform on the Tuesday on the phone, it should be with you on the mon/tues the following week. DO NOT let your manager order it. They won't!! Call the uniform hotline and order it all yourself.
