D2Ds are Mon-Fri (20% per day) but under exceptional circumstances they can be carried over to Saturday (but only with your DOMs full consent) and you can be sacked for not delivering them so I always class them as live mail, that way you are covered.

I was allways told that you only get paid to prep them and not for delivering.

The D2D agreement itself does not mention either way why and for what bit (delivering or prep) you get paid for them, probably because back then everyone was FT and had 2 deliveries.

I think this bit about being paid for prep has come about by managers using the fact that you get paid extra, as a way to get people prepping them in their own time.
