It has only taken 2 or 3 days to arrive when I have ordered stuff before so I would say chase your manager up or it could be to do with the length of your contract.
We're all here because we're not all there

Usually arrives in a few days, if he's not ordered it you can order it yourself online

:sad: You used to be able to claim for an allowance for wearing your own clothes when waiting for your uniform. Do not know if this is still the case.

When we changed over from blue shirts to red polo shirts we got 6 lots of uniform (clerical error). 6 stormproofs, 6 waterproof :left: cagouls, 6 fleeces and so on. They said keep it all and we wouldn't need to order new ones for years :shock:
