I think that if you are organised and become familiar with the procedures, then the delivery work is fine.

I do not “UNDERSTAND” all this fuss, I have just finished a route for thomaslocal,I was asked, How many books I would like to do, what area I would like to deliver in, Its the same every where you live, rude people,etc,
the other day when I outside a gate going in, a man let his dog out ,I laughed and went on to the next house I enjoy the work ,enjoy meeting new people talking .I also work in the mornings and deliver after12.pm
No the money isn’t great ,but what other things would you be doing.
IF you don’t do it “some OTHER PERSON WILL” m e “??????????????????????????????????

I do the BT phone book, Thomson local and Yellow Pages over several areas. Sometimes its £5 an hour, sometimes £10 or more. It can be easy money if you are a retired postman and know the tricks of the trade and very easy if you know the round/walk you are delivering from being on the post. If you are new to delivery like many jobs ( and I have had a few ! ) its might not be easy at first but after a few days you will get the hang. You do need to be physically fit and reasonably strong and sometimes people are a bit rude. I would agree with the comment about rural rounds, the beginners pick them because the pay looks better for the number of books but in reality they take longer. Also if I had a decent/expensive car I would not perhaps do this and certainly not the rural rounds. I have never had any disagreement over payment from the Color Company for BT, Deya for Yellow Pages or Thomson Local.

I have delivered these books for a few years ,i find it very easy to book on there website ,you choose the rounds you require , so whats the problem. They have always been at the venue stated to collect the books from. In fact i sometimes go out of my normal area to do a round or two .Easy money , keeps me fit and the money is a bonus .They- always pay within the 30 days stated as well. Stewart

A shame there are so many negative experiences. I am 57 and I’ve been doing this sort of work for a few years. It is very hard work. I enjoy it and it keeps me fit.
I found your blog when I was going to log on to Thomsons to book more routes.

i had that same problem, i waited 6 months for payment which they tried to make out there system was down and if it wasnt for my dad threatening to take them to high court they wldnt of paid up.. slave labor yes i would say so for the little amount of pay rates.apart form that one incident, they have been fine.. but company not recognised we took up a search to where they are based.. sounds dodgy

I had It happen once its wen you get given a route and its not close to home its just the same with Avon leaflets etc and really not worth doing any of them but you win some and lose on others but I did it again and was great round near my house and 2miles to collect the books but they did take the p to collect my left over books and rammed my car now they have moved the collection point to 15miles away from my house so ain’t worth it
