D2d

Post by packmule »

While on delivery getting rid of my d2d there was a guy coming up the St delivering flyers for a pizza company , 1 per address so I enquired how much he was paid ? The answer as you may have guessed was more than 1.67p , £20 per 500. more than double what we get .

Considering the fact that D2D pay has not gone up in fifteen years,but inflation has, that sounds about right!!.

Question to be answered is - we normally either get 1.67p or on occassion 1.75p per item - but what does Royal Mail get :hmmmm

5.9p for mailings of less than 25,000 with a weight under 20g per item
dropping to a little over 3.4p for mailings in excess of 10 million. Numerous price breaks in between.

The price rises for heavier items. Again various price breaks based on weights and quantities.

£60 for delivering 1500 leaflets x 5 = £300

How long would that take you to deliver ? NOT 40 hours pretty good rate methinks and once we all end up on minimum wage with cwu blessing no doubt you'll think so too :hmmmm :hmmmm
