We have thread titles with a 1 for one and 2 for to today - could we get a 3 for three or even tree?

I delivered 5,000 newspapers + flyers every week for about 3 years in my youth.
I'd get €350 for the paper + €150 for every extra flyer, some weeks you'd get €600+ cash in hand on top of what I was already earning in my 9 to 5.
I actually only delivered 2,000 & stuck about 800 into Dunnes & Tescos.
I'd go out 4 nights a week, do about 500 a night, pick all the estates with no walls between houses.
The remainder I'd dump up in Smurfits every month or so for free, god bless the celtic tiger days.
I used have a metal biscuit tin full of money that I'd lodge in the Credit Union when it was full.

Different times.

Having dealt with this company, I can categorically agree with everything that CianRyan has said. You will be a contractor, and therefore responsible for your own tax matters . You will also have a GPS tracker for your route. If you have a gap, be prepared to go back, or not get paid!

sorry lads just wondering did anyone add city post to their cv?

CianRyan

I did yeah, doesn't seem to add a lot though.

Those leaflet jobs are always ****. I thought I was on to something once, got one that paid minimum wage, was going to do it and 4 other ones at the same time. Unfortunately the ****e money I wanted from each of them was too much! I was only asking for £25 for 6 hours work!!

Even if you're on the dole you can get something else cash in hand.

On an average day we were taking on about three loads of about 6-700 books at a time, this was in the back of a transit and white that weight onboard you're absolutely burning fuel, we were lucky to see €50 do us the day.
There's no use in taking smaller loads either seeing as you'll be going back and forth all day and you can't guarantee how close you'll be to the collection point or who else will be in to take as many books as they can.

Also worth noting, if you're going to do it, which I still don't recommend, get some fliers and local supervalue, centra, etc junk mail to throw in with the books. It's an extra pain but it'll add a bit onto your cheque.
You'll be given trolleys to carry your books, no other way really. Good luck fitting those in an empty car never mind having a car full of phone books.

How many journeys and how long were you driving for, for it to cost 50 a day if you don't mind me asking? seems a little much for hauling, that... considering its a desil and sesigned for carrying weight!
How ever the job in the middle of the summer when its warm tunes and you've got hug estates I really enjoyed Ipod on a away id go over load the trolly as mush as possible and just work away comfy pair of runners music/ spliff happy days...

You are hired as a self employed distributor, therefore liable for making your own tax returns
you will not be an employee

One thing to note is that you will need business motor insurance if you are carrying stock otherwishe you won't be insured if stopped by the Garda or if you have an accident.

Business insurance increases your premium by a large amount
