When JogPost is the better fit
You need to prove the leaflets were actually delivered. Royal Mail Door to Door doesn't give you GPS evidence. JogPost gives you a per-distributor GPS track and the option to be on the RideAlong yourself, or watch one back on video. If “did anyone actually push it through the door?” is a question you've ever asked, that's the gap JogPost closes.
You're spending under £2,000 on the campaign. Royal Mail's minimums and lead times don't suit small, fast tests. JogPost will run a 5,000-piece round in a couple of weeks with a real route plan.
You're a local business in a competitive postcode. You can't always be sure which streets get hit with Royal Mail's sector-level delivery. JogPost lets you specify the actual streets that match your trading radius.
When Royal Mail Door to Door might be the better fit
- You're a national brand running a country-wide drop and don't need per-round proof.
- You specifically want the Royal Mail brand on the delivery.
- You're going at huge volume (250,000+) and the per-1,000 sector pricing beats foot distribution for your area.
How they compare on pricing
Pricing changes regularly on both sides. As a rough 2026 guide, Royal Mail Door to Door published rates start at around £67 per 1,000 for the lightest leaflets, with weight surcharges that push heavier or larger formats into the £80–£120 per 1,000 band. JogPost's per-1,000 rate for shared GPS-tracked rounds typically lands in a comparable range, with solus rounds (your leaflet only) priced higher because each property gets a dedicated drop.
