New starter and the new style uniform

Post by vinny79 »

A member of my family is beginning work and would like to be able to order the new style uniform

Currently the people app doesn’t allow it like it does with mine

Anyone have the link for the actual website or know the deal with newbies

Thank you

I am not sure if this is going to be any help. I was told that new style uniform won't be delivered for months. I would suggest it's best to speak to your manager. He can order some uniform for you. I wouldn't bother with the new one.

Don't think new starts are allowed to order uniform at first, hi vis and a used stormcoat if they're lucky at our place.

I ordered mine through the app just before my start date, probably a couple of days before. Was delivered a couple of weeks after starting, watch the sizing though as the stuff is huge. 2 trousers, fleece, 3 polo or equivalent, waterproof jacket and massive trousers 😂

Just re read it, new uniform is next year I believe

New starters uniform allocation and timings : Update July 2021

We’ve removed the uniform restrictions on new starters so that once they have received their pay number, they can log into Dimensions and will see the full wardrobe choice of all garments and be able to order their full allocation of uniform from the get go.

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.

They will have received an email with an attachment that has a link to a page of useful links with one of them being a link to the uniform website. https://detail.dimensions.co.uk/Royalma ... l%2Fevo%2F

Long wait on most items. New uniform isn't till next year but you can order both. Or could.
