Is there a weight limit on a door to door?

Got 3 on my round this week including a 60 page Aldi Christmas catalogue that weigh a ton.

No weight limit as far as I know - just the limit on number of contracts per week which is usually six per week. A new branch of Aldi has opened five or six miles from us so I hope we don't get that catalogue.

Can confirm that Aldi catalogue is the worst door to door I’ve seen since door to doors started.

Only approx 40 to a bundle; I knew they were trouble when I read the first label “bundle 8 of 22”

Isn't using a LWT trolley compulsory/ part of the 4 pillars agreement ?

You haven't heard about a thing called a Light Weight Trolley?

No weight limit on D2Ds. Just imagine how much you would have got per item if you were delivering the Aldi catalogues on the old system!!

Faced with heavy D2Ds, I'd double the number of boxes on the control sheet with a pen, to then better spread out where I'm delivering these blasted things.

No sign of these Aldi things at our depot... Yet. Sounds a little like the census forms we had to deliver in 2011(?), brutally heavy week that was.

Maybe from Glasgow/Dundee. Too many tenements in loops or stairs, can't use lwt on most walks/loops.
