uniform returns

Post by centenaryman »

hi,,,couple of weeks ago we were all issued with the new red uniform after filling in the size forms,,,mine came but the pants were all to big,,,so i bagged them up filled in the return form and gave it to our D.O.M
this morning 10 days later i sees the bag still in his office,,,he was day off today, so i asked his assistant are my new uns on the way,,,,his reply was strange..(nowt new there LOL),,,he said i was meant to bag up ,,, label and return to dimensions any unfit uniform and sort out the new size myself?
weve always gone through the DOM...so i asked were to send it,,,,he said all the instructions were given with the new uniform,,,,err no they werent,,,,and i was to pass the return package to the PHG ?????? who would send it through the internal system,,,LOL,,,,so i asked the PHG and he thought i was messing,,,and it was the 1st hes heard LOL.

Anybody any ideas,,,do u know the return address for dimensions,,,,,pound to a penny the dom has me in the office for not having correct uniform on LOL

nothing is returned at our DO, any spare goes in a cupboard and if anything fits your welcome to it.

dimentions only need the ok from your dom to issue more uniform.

I never got any pants with my new uniform.
Are they any good?

Phone the uniform line up again and order some more,make sure there is a screw in the office though while you do it for conformation.

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.

Can't do that anymore, all uniform must be ordered through the 'uniform champion' by e-mail except footwear which can only be ordered by the manager (and only 3 at a time).
