If donating uniforms, I’d make them so that a reasonable person could at least try them on to ascertain the fit. I would iron them all where appropriate, including the jackets. Collars and cuffs only on the shirts. Soaking is probably going too far.
I get what you’re saying but here’s the reason I’m not gonna iron. If I was to purchase say a dress, I would wash it when I got home anyway regardless of how it looked in the shop so ironing is pointless.
If someone purchases a dress and doesn’t atleast wash it before wearing then they probably don’t iron either so why should I?
My only beef with this is - why buy a garment if you don’t know if it will fit? I would still wash it when I got it home, but I would hope to have some idea if the garment was going to fit me or I wouldn’t buy it in the first place. The fit can change fairly dramatically between ironed and un-ironed - particularly the set over the shoulders, and sleeve length, so I would recommend at least basic ironing.
My own clothes - I don’t. But items to donate I’ll give them a touch up for the above reasons. The charity may or may not have an iron or pressing facilities or may not be willing to do it.

What if you don’t iron clothes anyway though 🤔

Yes but I’m not the one selling them.
