Delivery/Admin Charge
This is a charge made to cover the costs in getting your newspapers to you, the vast majority of which goes to pay your driver and cover driver fuel costs.
Our delivery/admin charge is a WEEKLY charge and is calculated on Monday-Saturday deliveries. If you take deliveries Monday to Saturday then no delivery charge is made for Sunday.
Under no circumstances will part of a delivery charge be reimbursed because of non delivery for an odd day or so. This is because our drivers will still expect to be paid in full and rightly so in our opinion.
Our delivery/admin charge for weekend only deliveries is not pro rata to a full week because it creates extra work and therefore costs more per day.
Delivery/Admin charges are normally re-assessed at the beginning of each calendar year. Changes are not advised to customers as the changes will be seen on their next invoice.
In special circumstances (such as a large rise in the cost of fuel) delivery/admin charges may be increased without notice and again can be clearly seen on the next invoice.
