How to contact Angard

[Kated89]

I've been ringing the 'xmas team/ number for days ans NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im due to start in the Glasgow sorting office THIS monday!! My security checks were passed 2 weeks ago. anyone having the same problems for the GLASGOW sorting office???

For those of you worrying about dresscodes etc, you just wear clothes that you are comfortable in and will be practical. Bear in mind at times you may be outside on loading bays etc. You will be supplied with a flourescent waistcoat/bib by RM and they will give you your passes when you arrive for your first shift.

I am due to start on monday 28th and my status online says 'PROCESSING SECURITY CHECKS' tbh, I'm going to do what I did last year and just turn up for the shift on Monday. I'm baffled how a company who apparently are owned/operated by RM have managed to do such a shambolic job of things. Last years xmas recruitment was a breeze by comparison yet that was ran directly by RM - so weird.

Im also waiting on word from them about starting in Glasgow mail centre but nothing from them as yet and security checks have been passed for 7 weeks now.

[Kated89]

I'm thinking about just turning up on Monday but i have a feeling i'll be turned away

[gazza111]

Its a complete and utter shambles as no-one knows what to do and cant get a hold of Angard

[Kated89]

I've got the number for the Glasgow Sorting office, wondering if it would be best just to call them and ask if they know anything? I'm getting no where with Anguard.

[gazza111]

A few folk have called the sorting office that they have to attend just to see if they have a list of names for due start date as they should have the names by now along with badges. Waiting on e-mail or call from Angard doesnt look good

[Kated89]

Im not expecting anguard to call. people were suppose to start on the 21st and still havent had a call. Im trying the Glasgow sorting office but its ringing out.

[gazza111]

Their all the same then i take it..cant get a hold of Angard or Royal mail..Ive heard if u just turn up for your shift without a confirmation e-mail they just trun u away at the gate..I dont think anyone has a start date at Glagow mail centre yet.

Received a text & email today about starting in Chelmsford on 3rd December (was originally advised 28th November at interview) so they are working on them all!

[Kated89]

Just had a text and email saying i've got the job and i start on the 27th!!! keep checking your emails and your royal mail app log in!!!!!

[gazza111]

Thats good news kated89...did they offer u the same shift as you got at interview? Maybe they are starting to get round to letting people know.

If you ring the 08454607318 number now you will get an automated response that tells you that "due to high numbers of calls they are unable to answer any." The message also tells you that you will receive an email or text message when you are security cleared and you will receive your start date. You can also email angardxmas.queries@reedglobal.com

I'm hoping that this means I'm still in with a chance but I sure hope I hear something soon because I'm getting a bit up tight.
