Friendly FAQs

Got questions? We've got answers

Easy answers for our younger distributors and their grown-ups.

How old do I need to be to deliver?
You need to be 13 or older. If you're under 16, a parent or guardian needs to say yes and help you sign up. Always stay safe and deliver with a grown-up nearby if you can.
How long does a round take?
Most rounds take a few hours, spread over the week. You can do it bit by bit after school, at weekends, or whenever works for you - as long as everything is delivered by Sunday.
What if it rains?
Magazines come wrapped to help keep them dry, but it's a good idea to wear a waterproof coat and pop the magazines inside a strong bag so they stay nice for the people getting them.
What if I miss a house by mistake?
Don't worry - just pop back and post it when you can. If something goes wrong, use the Round Control app or get in touch and we'll help you sort it out.
How do I get paid?
After you finish your round and mark it complete in the Round Control app, our team checks it. Once it's confirmed, your payment goes out on our normal payment day.
What if I go on holiday?
Just let us know in advance and we'll arrange cover for your round so no homes get missed. Your route will still be waiting for you when you're back.
Is there a grown-up I can ask for help?
Yes! Our friendly team is always here. Head to our Get In Touch page and send us a message - we love hearing from our distributors.
