If you just had 1 flimsy pizza menu they are impossible to post through most letterboxes without the attached mail.

Don’t ever feel guilty about leaving an empty column for the person covering your day off each week, because they’re only taking where they’re delivering to as well.
If it’s double slotted, and there’s only mail for one address, then write a number on the remaining leaflet.
By the end of Saturday’s round, virtually all of the junk has been delivered with a proper letter, and you haven’t wasted any time walking down countless paths all week just to deliver an item of unaddressed ‘mail’ that will almost certainly be thrown away, unread.
Astonished by how many people actually seem to struggle with stuff like this.

Exactly. Making problems where there aren't any.

Some of the duty holders are so anal about d2d's in our office it makes me laugh!

I don't think that is an approved carrying method.

So many packets lately there might not be any other choice!

When I use to be a floater (no pun intended) this one walk I covered not matter what day I was on it mon- fri i did the same section. Good thing with it though if I was on it Saturday the d2d's was cleared.

For example, is it bad form to put your whole weeks leaflets in the frame when you finish delivering on Monday, knowing that Tuesday is your day off?

Or, putting all your d2d's in for the week EXCEPT for the day you have off, therefore leaving it to your cover man?

Would it bother you? Does it even matter? Who cares?

They would all be coming out again except 16%.
