I know it was back in the 1970s when I was a postman that we did not get paid extra for delivering that type of mail, it had to be inserted with your normal delivery over a week.
At that time nearly every household had the football coupons belivered by mail, and some houses had both Littlewoods and Vernons, and each house had it's own address on the envelope. What we used to do was deliver the coupons the house if it had mail for that day, and similar for the next few days in the hope that you would clear the backlog, if however you still had some left you were allowed to deliver the remaining by working overtime, but you were only allowed 3 hours to do it in.
