Leaflet Distribution Service

When scheduling your distribution, you will need to pick a date three weeks in advance to allow for Royal Mail to plan in the distribution. Your leaflets will then be delivered over a two week period from your chosen start week subject to availability. If there are any problems with availability, we will be in touch to select alternative dates.

Leafletdrop uses Royal Mail distribution which covers all 30 million UK households. This network is ideal for 100% coverage of your chosen areas to ensure maximum reach and is delivered alongside the householder’s addressed mail. On occasion, when Royal Mail are not available on your chosen distribution dates, we will use Whistl Home Network or contact you to arrange another suitable date.

This is to ensure your leaflet is not competing with any other company's leaflet offering a similar product or service as you, at the same time and in the same area as your distribution. If you have provided a description only, please note that we will need to see a copy of your design at least three weeks before your distribution is due to start. Please send a PDF of all sides of the design to leafletdrop@whistl.co.uk. Your order is at risk of being cancelled if we do not receive this on time.

Your leaflets can be any style you like! You should consider that they cannot exceed 34.9 grams in weight, they must be under 5mm in depth and can't be over A4 (210 x 297 mm) format. However, we recommend your leaflets do not exceed 33 grams to allow for any excess moisture that may have built up before being weighed. If the item comes in larger than the above then you may be subject to overweight charges.

If this happens, you must let us know by emailing leafletdrop@whistl.co.uk. We would need to see a visual of your artwork. If there are any major changes to what you were originally advertising, your availability may be affected and we may need to either book this over extra weeks or you would be subject to cancellation charges.

If your leaflets will be boxed, you will need to check that each box of leaflets weighs less than 10kg. If your leaflets will be bundled, each bundle must weigh less than 6.4kg. Ensure labels on boxes or bundles are clearly visible. Check each box or bundle contains one leaflet design for one distribution centre on one delivery date. Protect your items by strapping and packing them securely. You will receive full instructions with your booking confirmation. Refer to our stock guide for further assistance and detailed information.

Your campaign name is the overall name assigned to your planned distribution. Within this, you can have one or multiple areas. See it like a book, your campaign name is the book title and the areas are your chapter names. You can rename both your campaign and area names at any time before booking. 

Well that’s really depends on the type of campaign you are creating! You may want to assign different  week commencing dates to different areas or you may want to assign  different artwork (known as a version) to the different areas scheduled. Or, you may just have two different areas you wish to distribute to on the map. For example, Edinburgh and Exeter.

Yes. We work with market leading print providers who offer professional printing for all sizes and weight formats available from Leafletdrop.

Since you confirmed that your artwork is a print-ready PDF during the upload process, we won't need to make any adjustments; therefore, we won't send you one. Nonetheless, we always aim to accommodate our customers' requests. If you would still like a proof, please don't hesitate to contact us.
