Yes the £400 will be handy for holidays, but I suspect the annual dividend could have been paid by the end of May ready for half term week even if the payment criteria had stayed the same.

Well it's £300 for you BD less tax and insurance, then the loss on D2D for a few weeks, so where exactly will you be going for your day out :whistle

A week away at the seaside all booked and paid for :Very Happy

DTD loss? Not for me, im one of the very few winners on that issue.

My delivery is not in favour with the companies that send out leaflets via RML, although if we take work away from the local papers that will change to a minium of four every week for my delivery.

I would have to guess that if your round has a minimal D2D element and with D2D being included in workload you may be given extra drops to make up your delivery.
In my area of the country we always take out 3 per week and i am sure we will be up to 6 almost at once so we will be factoring this in when duties are revised ie more work so less drops.

Well not at once but not far off....and beyond. :cuppa
D2D sales are expected to ramp up as follows: 4 items from Agreement, 5 items from 12th July (to be confirmed) , 6 items from 3rd January and thereafter greater volumes as delivery methods roll out continues and D2D automation comes on stream. However, not all units should expect to match this profile if they are in low demand areas.

Low demand bit is interesting as I can see a clear difference between some duties at my D.O

My delivery has defo gone into the low demand zone , but others are stil in normal demand zone :hmmmm

This week dominoes pizza only for me and last week only charity bags for bric a brac. Three weeks preceeding that I only had 2 sets. The local papers level of DTD seem to be doing ok though. There is a case for using RML over the papers as when it comes to flats the papers are just dumped in a pile at the bottom so leaflets are not actually getting to the householders as they would do if delivered by RML.

Now if I was a manager with time on my hands and reviewing your situation and workload, I might consider two options.
1 Up your calls to make up for D2D shortfall or
2 eliminate the shortfall by offering tailored pricing scales, postcode specific. Better to profit by 1p per leaflet than nothing at all
