Uniform Order Online

[wacko74]

Does anyone really think they would give us carte blanche to order any uniform as and when we want it??

Everytime I've needed anything it's required an argument... with either my DOM to order it for me, or with a woman from the suppliers on the phone if I contact them directly.

Everything comes with an expected wear time.
If you try to order inside that time the system blocks it.

Yeah I know all about the wear time... the last time I had a 'discussion' with a nice lady from the ordering dept she actually informed me that Cat trainers only last 6 weeks... but then told me we're still only allowed 2 pairs a year!

I think everybody has to do that as soon as they log in for time, probably some sort of security thing

Royal Mail's own words.

While we make certain assumptions on how long any item will last, and how many are sensibly needed for looking smart every working day, these assumptions do not get in the way of the intention to work safely and smartly. If any item is lost, damaged or worn beyond simple repair, a replacement should be obtained.

The trainers lasted me 6 weeks, the Magnum shoes managed 4 months but are now getting bad. After two linos had tried and failed to order me another pair (due to the 2 pairs limit) I emailed justsayit. They investigated it and came back to say the DOM had been told how to order me another pair, but he denied it and said to leave it with him. Two reminders later I gave up reminding him.

The other day a third lino asked how I was getting on so I pointed out that I was wearing my own shoes so he ordered me a pair. A week later and they turned up. Not even a remotely satisfactory way of getting them but it was sorted in the end. Anyone else with problem could try emailing justsayit - if nothing else they may get fed up with the complaints and actually sort something out - only been in 7 months so sorry for my naivety!

I got locked out so rang customer services and they reset my password, all my kit arrived within a week though I'm still waiting on a pair of trousers that were out of stock in my size.

dont bother wasting your time almost everything is either cancelled the next day or needs managers permission..just go straight into manager and order and dont waste another minute on this rubbish

Our managers can no longer order uniform.
The permission needed to authorise new uniform when you have exceeded your allocation comes from elsewhere - not our line managers.
