Leaflet Distribution..............

Post by smileski »

Hi all, looking for some advice really.

I have been thinking for a while now about starting a small local leaflet distribution business, just wondering if i could get into trouble with Royal Mail?
Would i be putting my job at risk?
Could they put a stop to it, on the grounds that some of my customers could potentially be theres?
Any suggestions who i could ask for a definitive answer?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It would be a conflict of interest, read your contract.

No idea TBH, But what you cannot and should not do is deliver them on your duty - do them after if you do them at all.
