The quickest way to deliver them is to dump them in the nearest wheelie bin thats where 99% of them will end up your just cutting out the middleman

Maybe you could dump them in a recycling bin instead? A bit more environmentally friendly.lol

thanks guys incredibly helpful lol...unfortunatly its not quite that simple...i have to write down the streets i do and any houses i miss out...very thorough!!

Ouch, that's a lot of work!! Even if you did it every day til 6th, thats 744 houses in a day. How many hours would it take to do that? :eek:

I would hazard a guess that this company is one i used to work for, TNT as they check random houses to see if you post them all.
6700 leaflets will take a good week or 60hrs roughly. I can deliver 100/140 per hour in most areas, if its in town it will be faster, rural long drive areas will be longer.
Poor pay really.

Is it worth it?.. don't know, only you can tell us that.
You will need to deliver 335 leaflets to earn £5.90, Which is roughly the minimum wage. you need to see how many you can do per hour, then decide.:)

My ex wife used to do this.
Get some friends to help you and pay them for delivering.
I know it means you get less money but if the deliveries are done properly and on time you get more work.
It wasn't unusual for her to have 4 or 5 deliveries ongoing at the same time.
Without help she would have struggled to complete even 1 of them.

I wish you luck with it, it's hard work.

335 leaflets would take 2 hours in optimal conditions IMO.

On 150 leaflets an hour, which is what I aim for, it'd be £2.64 p/h., which isn't too fancy.

EDIT: On 150 leaflets an hour, to get to min. wage level, you'd have to charge £260. £118 is criminally cheap.

It doesn't sound like a huge wage but could you look on it as a way of keeping fit as well as earning a bit of extra money?
Listening to music while you deliver might help too!
Good luck.
