Also bring a rucksack or similar,with trainers/jeans/t-shirt,just in case as you may be doing dirty/manual work straight away.A big mailcentre should have a changing area,and i remember many years ago starting my first shift in a suit and tie,tying bags!Got a few funny looks,that's for sure... :Very Happy
same as it ever was...
