Personal D2D drops
Hey,
Just a question, what is the general acceptance of delivering personal flyers? eg/ I have an uncle running his own local business, what would the harm be in me delivering his ads though doors with general mail?
Have any of you known posties do this or if it may be allowed?
Thanks :)

Re: Personal D2D drops
I figured lol, only been in job a week but had a family member ask me to drop some of his ads through my walks!
I don't see any difference to actually posting regular d2d's though? unless it states 'no junk mail' etc on doors then what diff can it be? just another local advert posting?

100% not allowed - he would have to pay normal D2D rates via RM. Can't see nay Manager Okaying that in fact is it not a sack-able offence.D_2010 wrote:Hey,

You can do it in your own time of course,just not RM's.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: Personal D2D drops
We had a guy going around the area stopping posties and offering £10 to deliver a flyer. He stopped me and mentioned a couple of names from the office who had accepted but i said NO. Next day the ones who had done them were asking everyone and then crapping themselves
Nothing ever came of it so it was prob gen but is it worth your job. 
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
