US Uniforms News & Reviews December 2009
 Greetings!

In response to feedback from our customers we have started a monthly newsletter to provide information about products, care of your uniforms, changes in the uniform program, and the services we provide at US Uniforms.

Expiring Allotments
 
Did you know that millions of dollars go back to the postal service every year because employees forget or decide not to spend their uniform allotment. This is a benefit that is negotiated and is part of the collective bargaining agreement with the postal service.
 
In the past it was relatively easy to get your money from an expired allotment by contacting the the local uniform person in human resources. Today, it is close to impossible to get your money from an expired allotment. The uniform allotment funds are now handled by Shared Services out of Greensboro, NC. You may contact them at 1-877-477-3273 option #5, but the success rate is very low.
 
We recommend you put a reminder on a calendar, set a reminder on your cell phone or personal computer. It is your responsibility to remember to spend your money.
 
On the front page of our website www.usuniforms.com we have instructions if your allotment expires within the next 30 days, over a weekend, or on a holiday. Don't forget!
Protect Your Investment
