Simple job rules

What you must do on every job

DO

  • Use the map we give you.
  • Stay inside your assigned area.
  • Put one item from each assigned Client fully into each eligible letterbox. Place items individually; do not bundle them.
  • Follow “No Junk Mail” and “No Advertising Material” signs. An exemption must be lawful and confirmed in the written job instructions. Ask the coordinator if unsure.
  • Start the required walking app when field delivery starts.
  • Keep the app running during the delivery shift.
  • Save the app activity when the shift finishes.
  • Write down access problems, bad weather, locked gates, unsafe dogs, road works and other problems.
  • Tell the coordinator if you cannot finish the assigned work.
  • Follow the instructions for leftover stock.

DO NOT

  • Do not dump flyers.
  • Do not leave bundles in bins, parks, streets, buildings or other places.
  • Do not hide stock.
  • Do not put multiple copies of the same Client’s flyer into one letterbox.
  • Do not leave flyers on the ground or hanging out of the letterbox.
  • Do not go into streets or areas that are not on your assignment.
  • Do not change the map, quantity or job area without approval.
  • Do not give stock to another person without approval.
  • Do not keep or reuse leftover Client stock.
  • Do not add extra hours, helpers, travel or work to your invoice unless approved.

STOP AND CONTACT THE COORDINATOR

  • If the weather is unsafe.
  • If the temperature is above 35°C and you have not been given a safe alternative arrangement.
  • If there is flooding, lightning or a dangerous storm.
  • If a property, dog, road or area is unsafe.
  • If the map is wrong or a street cannot be found.
  • If you have too much or too little stock for the assigned area.
  • If you cannot complete the job.

The temperature rule does not mean conditions below 35°C are always safe. Stop whenever conditions are unsafe.

Leftover flyers

Leftover stock does not mean you should keep delivering outside the map. Stop when the assigned area is complete. Record why stock remains and follow the return or stock instructions.

Phone and privacy

Only send the job information we need

Most Walkers use their own phone. Job screenshots may show the route, date, time, duration or distance.

Before you send Crop or cover unrelated messages, notifications and private information where practical. Keep the required job information visible.
Do not send Passwords, banking screens, health information, private photos or unrelated messages.
Your phone stays yours Sending a screenshot does not give us access to your phone.
Client privacy rule Raw GPS and screenshots are not standard Client reports. Personal contact and payment details are not supplied to Clients except where required by law.

GPS and app records are internal supporting information. They are checked with approved field-delivery time, pace, speed, distance, movement pattern, assigned work, field notes and invoice records. See our Privacy Policy.

Allow a few seconds for the form to appear. If it does not load, refresh the page and check whether your browser is blocking it.

Invoice and payment

Submit your records after the job

Payment is based on the accepted job and approved field-delivery time. The flyer quantity helps us plan the work. It is not payment per flyer.

  • Finish the assigned work, or report why you could not finish it.
  • Save the required app activity for each shift or day.
  • Write clear notes about access problems, weather stops and leftover stock.
  • Submit the invoice with the required screenshots and approved hours.

Payment is checked first

Your invoice must match the accepted job. Missing, reused, misleadingly altered or unclear records can delay payment approval. Redact unrelated private information without changing or hiding the required job evidence.

Do not add unapproved items

Do not add extra hours, travel, waiting time, helpers or extra areas unless the coordinator approved them first.

Invoice and supporting records are handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

For Clients

This page shows the basic instructions we give Walkers

Clients are encouraged to read this page. The managed delivery process is part of the product you are buying.

The service is not only the physical act of placing flyers into letterboxes. It also includes the way work is mapped, allocated, explained to Walkers, checked internally and closed out after the required records are reviewed.

Clear field rules Walkers are told to follow the assigned map, obey access and No Junk Mail rules, place each assigned Client’s item correctly and never dump or hide stock.
Mapped work Assignments are divided into defined areas with quantities, expected labour and job-specific notes.
Independent contractors Walkers receive job-by-job offers and can accept or decline each assignment.
Field records Walkers submit app-supported activity, field notes, approved time and invoices for internal review.
Combined verification Time, pace, speed, distance, movement pattern, assigned sections, quantities, notes and app information are considered together. GPS is not used as proof by itself.
Stock accountability Walkers are told not to dump, hide, reuse or keep leftover Client stock and to follow return instructions.
Client contact rule

Clients do not hire, direct or contact individual Walkers. Questions, changes and campaign instructions must go through Letterbox Distribution Services.

What the managed service covers

The service can include campaign planning, mapping, section allocation, stock coordination, contractor briefing, field-delivery labour, reassignment, verification, invoice review and campaign close-out.

Delivery process

How a campaign moves through the system

1. Quote and suitability The area, quantity, material, timeframe and service are reviewed. A quote does not automatically mean the campaign is accepted.
2. Payment and stock Full payment and stock readiness are required before scheduling, unless an approved account arrangement applies. A booking is accepted when LDS confirms it and any required payment has been received.
3. Mapping and allocation The campaign is divided into sections with quantities, approved hours and instructions.
4. Field delivery Walkers follow the map, access rules, safety rules and app-supported process.
5. Record and invoice review App activity, notes, assigned areas, quantities, hours and invoices are checked together.
6. Payment and campaign close-out Contractor payment and Client completion confirmation are handled after the required internal review.

Important limits

  • Broad-area distribution does not guarantee every individual letterbox.
  • Weather, access, safety, signage, development changes and mapping updates can affect field coverage.
  • Shared Weekly receives completion confirmation only.
  • For Area-Specific Solo and Express Solo, written suburb-by-day delivery confirmation may be requested after completion and internal audit.
  • Raw GPS, personal-device screenshots, app files and individual Walker records are not supplied as standard Client reporting.
  • Delivery, report and completion dates are not guaranteed unless expressly agreed in writing.

The booked service, confirmed quotation and Terms & Conditions determine the campaign scope. Nothing on this page removes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Simple rules support a consistent service

Walkers need clear instructions. Clients need a clear process. Both are supported by mapped work, job notes, app records and internal checks.

  • Job-by-job offers — Walkers can accept or decline each assignment.
  • Independent contractors — work, hours and income are not guaranteed.
  • Mapped allocations — each assignment has an area, quantity and approved labour allowance.
  • Simple field rules — no dumping, bundling, unauthorised helpers or area changes.
  • Safety and access — Walkers stop for unsafe conditions and record exclusions.
  • Internal privacy — raw screenshots and personal details are not Client reports.
  • Shared Weekly confirmation — completion confirmation only.
  • Solo / Express confirmation — suburb-by-day confirmation may be requested after completion and internal audit.

Internal verification

How work is checked

Letterbox Distribution Services does not rely on GPS alone. The available records are reviewed together before payment approval and campaign close-out.

Assigned work The mapped section, allocated quantity, approved hours and job instructions.
Time and area Whether the Walker was in the assigned area and completed the approved field-delivery time.
Movement pattern Pace, speed, distance and route movement consistent with the assigned work.
Field records App-supported information, screenshots, notes, access issues, completion records and communications.
Invoice check The invoice is compared with the accepted job and approved hours before payment.
No single record proves everything A GPS route alone cannot prove individual placement, walking rather than driving, access conditions or overall work quality.

Shared Weekly receives completion confirmation only. For Area-Specific Solo and Express Solo, written suburb-by-day delivery confirmation may be requested after completion and internal audit. Raw GPS, screenshots, live tracking and individual Walker records are not supplied as standard Client reporting. See the Terms & Conditions.
