Most of the uniform that I have ordered doesn't fit me, do I need to return them through the DOM? Or am I supposed to post them myself?

Your DOM will sort that out. Bring your uniform in so he/she can send it back and order you one that fits.

There should be a returns note in the package with the uniform, fill it in with reason for return and replacement sizes. Use the original packaging to return it in but label it with the return address. Put it back into the system at your office. On receipt of the return they will despatch the new sizes, usually takes a couple of weeks.
Do not let your Dom do it as they usually keep the uniform as spares and do not return it. It will then show on your account as issued and not returned making you over your allocation.

Thank you for the information, yes I was hesitant to give it to the Dom for that reason. I don't particularly trust him.

If I stick with the job, I will do the process that you said.

Woodpecker is bang on, if you give it back to your dom it will be used as spares and cause you a headache getting more in the future.

Anyone ordered a high-viz recently? Small has always fit me perfect but one I ordered before Christmas is far too long. Sent it back for an XS. Same length but far too tight

The shorts seem to be about 2 sizes smaller than the 'same' size trousers
