Trying to find some old Navy friends of my Grandad?
Question
I can get more details off of him at some point but he's not well at the moment.
Basically I'm looking for a site or information on past members of the British Navy so I can see if I can find some of his old crew mates for him, does anyone have any idea of a place I could look? This would have been been a good 50 years ago or more?
Answer
have a look at www.knackersyard.com you tend to get a lot of washed up old sea men there

Answer
(1) This information was taken from gapinc.com (see link below).
"All merchandise, samples, plans, fixtures, props and in-store displays are packed, inspected and readied for shipment to our distribution centers. Once the product arrives at the distribution centers, every single box gets checked in. Cartons are counted, quantities are confirmed and random audits are performed.
As merchandise is added to inventory, it's designated for delivery to a specific store according to size, color and quantity. The distribution centers then move the merchandise to the appropriate stores.
As each unit is sold, the transaction is registered for analysis by our planners and distribution analysts. These analysts monitor weekly sales trend reports and determine which stores need to be replenished with which products. Replenishment shipments typically occur one to three times per week.
At the end of each season, we assess our performance, gather customer feedback, look for improvements and begin the cycle all over again."
(2) Speaking from an associate point of view, the stores currently get feedback on their customers by having them complete a survey. The survey is printed at the end of every other transaction (50% off daily transactions get a survey). Any customer that takes the survey provides their age range and sex, and they answer a few questions about their shopping experience - what they came in to buy, did they find what they were looking, were there associates available to offer assistance, etc. Not sure if that's what you mean about market research. I would imagine that the Visual teams take that feedback into consideration when a large amount of customers can't easily find a certain item. As an example, let's say 300 customers responded to the survey and said they couldn't easily find basic long sleeve t-shirts, when they came in looking for them, then we'd know to move them to a better location within the store when the next visual guide is released.
Also, at the beginning of each transaction, the cashier asks the customer for their zip code. This information is used to determine how far people travel to shop at a particular store, and helps the company plan where to open new locations.

where can i buy old navy clothes and have them shipped to the uk?
Question
Sorry, should have said, oldnavy.com don't ship internationally, and I don't have any US friends that could send on for me. I'll have a look on Ebay, but wondered if there were any other stores that do ship intenational and stock old navy goods. thanks everyone
Answer
Try ebay they have lots of new old navy clothes and lots of sellers ship internationally.Ebay has an option to shop for new items at a fixed price rather than bidding on them. All you need to open an account is a credit card,bank account and I would use pay pal. . If you are shipping from the USA you can send items first class mail international pretty reasonable you will have to do some customs forms.They could be mailed from your local post office.If you are in the uk wishing to buy in the USA check out ebay you can go in as a visiter before opening an account.
