Calgary Force Flyers

We keep getting flyers mistakenly, although I have called in twice already. I consider these flyers to be an obscene waste of paper!!

My Mom loves the Calgary flyer force more then she loves me!

If I could rate this in the negatives I most definitely would. My son was delivering flyers for Kathy Weston the area manager, every week she left 3 times the flyers for the list my son received, when you try to contact her she never returns your messages. He received $37.00 for a months worth of work and we were stuck disposing of the 7 stacks of flyers left over. What a waste of paper and recycling. If you want your child to learn how not to do a job then Kathy Weston is a perfect example for them. I also tried to contact flyer force and they don t bother responding either. Kathy Weston owes my 14 year old son for a months worth of pay and refuses to return any calls. Absolutely despicable company and those representing the company. I really feel the Calgary news should hear about these people. Do not let your child work for these crooks. I paid my son he did the work!

Best service I've ever had, on time and no problems. :)

No respect for "no flyer" signs or their own list of no-delivery houses. These people are the worst.

I haven't received flyer for about 4 weeks. I got hold of them the second time I didn't receive them and was told we had a person in our area. Didn't get them the next 2 weeks got hold of them via email haven't heard a thing. Not great customer service

I had a job with this company, and I wasn't getting paid when I was told I would be, and not nearly as much as I was suppose to be getting.
I was doing exactly what I had been told to do, just how I was told to do it, yet my "boss" was still getting fairly mad at me.
After a while, I'd had enough and I had to quit this job. Myself, along with my parents, thought that the company was taking advantage of young children, in more ways than one.
My experience with this company and this job had been terrible. Nothing but problems and issues all the time.
Yes, a childhood job is great, but I would be searching elsewhere, as the Calgary flyer force is not too trustworthy, and they are rather disrespectful toward their clients, and employees.
I would be giving this company 0 stars, but the minimum is 1.

THE WORST EVER!!!!!! Our home has been vandalized and a wreath has been stolen from our front door. Good luck trying to get ANYONE at this company to care. No one will call you back and there are zero reprocussions for any incident. We are better off installing cameras at our front step to catch these kids red handed. Every incident we have had all conveniently occur on the delivery days. We live in a safe neighbourhood with amazing neighbours, not a single person that would ever do anything so petty and ridiculous. If a negative score was possible i would rate them that.

Thursday is flyer day. I have never received a set of flyers on Thursday, it is always a Friday delivery at my house and it's always after 3pm. If they don't get delivered Friday there is no one to call on Saturday, their office is closed. Telephone contact has become virtually useless and email support for missed delivery is sporadic. I got an email saying the flyers would be delivered Monday, but nothing arrived. Calls on Tuesday have gone unanswered and by Wednesday last week's flyers are dated. Can't complain about their service though, THERE ISN'T ANY.

Cant seem to get anyone to care that my delivery person sits in their car and throws the flyers on my front lawn nowhere even close to the covered porch. So most of the time they are wet.

hi I'm looking for jobs in flyer delivery so how long it take to get call from flyers force company .?

The wage went from $150 a month to $70 a month for the same route while i was employed

They provide excellent detail before you start your route and answer any questions you have

WOW! Most of these reviews are really bad. I definitely feel for the kids working and not getting paid. There are Cdn Labour Laws to protect workers.
Regarding my experience over the years, I've had both terrible delivery service and the best delivery service depending on where I'm living. - Most recently the best delivery service for the last SEVEN YEARS by a young man named Tanner (and his dog) in West Dover. Very reliable! Flyers usually delivered on Wednesday or occasionally Thursday, and rarely ever a week was missed.
I've just recently moved to the northwest and I haven't seen anyone delivering flyers in my neighborhood so far so I need to call the company and see if I can get delivery. Hope someone answers and I don't get the runaround. Fingers crossed that I get good delivery service!

Even though we have a sign that clearly says, "No flyers/junkmail" they continue to deliver. Worse, they jam the flyers into the box, crushing the mail.

Similar sentiments as Kelly Taylor. My kids have delivered for Kathy Weston for a little over 5 years. They went from $90/mo down to $36/mo. In June she didn't pay them, and then proceeded to blame our kids for losing the cheque (that is ALWAYS stapled to the delivery list). She told use to wait until next month.

This month we get our giant $37 cheque, but no back payment for the missing cheque. My wife texts her to either pay the back pay or pick up the flyers since $37/mo isn't worth the hassle. She then threatens to call the police for her harassing her, as well as fining us for littering, and wanting us to pay HER $12.

Highly suspicious how much their pay decreased, and how other carriers are being treated (stole from?) by the same distributor. Flyer Force, listen up and either fire or reprimand distributors like this.

I have emailed on MANY occasions regarding the flyer delivery both not being delivered and requesting the flyers be put into my mailbox and not thrown onto my wet side walk, snow filled side walk, or muddy garden.

The final straw is the flyers being thrown into my muddy/dirty flower bed and crushing my flowers. I am very angry about this! I see the flyer delivery people coming by and throwing the flyers from the bottom of my side walk to wherever they land!! And as hard as they can! I have flowers in my flowerbeds and they have been crushed by your people's very careless delivery method!!!

My son delivers for this company and his last check just bounced - insufficiant funds. Now they wont answer their phone

I call them every 2 or three months on a regular basis because the flyers dont show up. Extremely frustrating and the worst service ever!! Thats what you get when delivery people only make pennies for each flyer. You would think though the Flyer Force would try to improve the service and ensure those who are actually keeping them in business get their flyers. I have to demand time and again and let them know that at least some of WANT their flyers, so they should do all possible to ensure timely delivery every week. I would give ZERO stars if I could.

Side note: obviously Stephanie works for, or knows someone who works for the company. There is NO way she is telling the truth and its definitely a fake review. If not I'd like to know who her delivery person is and what neighborhood she's in

I called twice , i was transseferd to another lady named pat or pet(couldnt undernstad) and i left a voicemail but no reply yet

Weekly flyer delivery does not happen consistently. Everyone else I know in other communities always get theirs on time and always on the same day. Here in Deer Ridge, sometimes we get them Friday morning, sometimes Saturday, sometimes not at all! Last week, they were left on our path just off the sidewalk! As most of the sales start Friday (some Thursday), I would like to have these on Thursday as I know other communities get theirs on Thursdays. We've had to call on numerous occasions because we didn't get flyers at all for the week!

Props up to the kid delivering on Hidden Valley Dr. Kid knocked on my door to make sure I got the flyer when it was snowing a few weeks back. He always greets me and my neighbors when he sees them. Great delivery service!

It is very hard to get flyers delivered. I have spoke with 3 different people and still I can't get a delivery of flyers to my house. It Is sad that companies pay them to distribute ads and they don't even pretend to care.

I have already called and left 2 messages, past 2 weeks still did not get my flyers, Christmas is around the corner, there is no interest with them to deliver the flyers they are suppose to deliver. Calling them also make no difference!

All of the reviews here complaining about not receiving their flyers and I'm having the exact opposite problem...

Flyer Force offers a form on their website where you can request that they stop delivering flyers to your address. However, I'm still constantly receiving bundles of flyers despite filling out the form and repeated e-mail complaints to a Distribution Supervisor.

Additionally, my carrier just leaves the flyers on the stoop in any weather unprotected: in the rain, a puddle of melting snow, you name it. I don't want these flyers to begin with and I want them even less when they're soaking wet and disgusting.

The customer service provided by this distributor is atrocious and I'm astonished that anyone continues to do business with them. It's really dragging down the image of your company to associate with a distributor that so blatantly disregards the wishes of your (potential) customers and that doesn't even take the time to ensure that your advertising materials make it to them in a usable state.

After numerous complaints I have filed about not having flyers delivered to my home since Sept 2012 I think I am officially throwing in the towel. Nothing has been resolved! I complain they must speak to their distributor I get flyers delivered for one week post complaint then back to no flyers. 4 Months of promises to fix this issues, even speaking with the general manager has resulted in no permanent solution.

I haven't got flyers in 5 weeks only time when i call in i get them for about 3 weeks then seem to get missed again

My son delivers 2 routes is Chaparral. When Tim was their delivery driver and manager he would make around $100 for both routes. Now that Biljiana has taken over the manager role he barely makes over $80 for the same routes. We have emailed and called Biljiana to show us his pay stubs and she simply ignores it. These people are scammers and we are stopping delivering for them. Parents don't let your kids deliver flyers these people don't care about the work they do.

I have not enjoyed working with them they do not give the correct ammount of flyers to the employees.

As the others have said, DO NOT work for them under any circumstances, they will not pay up and will not reply to you.

We had been working as carriers with this company for over a decade. Starting when we were kids and carried on, going through numerous area distributors our entire family worked tirelessly year after year for the Calgary Flyer Force. We used to do our route and also help out with other routes as needed, sometimes taking on three or four because other carriers would go on vacation.

It started out great, the company would support its workers and pay fairly for all items delivered. We would even get rewards sometimes such as movie passes etc. Over time it started going downhill and shortly before we were unjustly terminated, we realized we were clearly being taken advantage of. One of our area distributors also quit shortly before due to this reason as the company was not paying its workers fairly.

Kathy Weston, the person who unjustly terminated us is a disgrace to this company. When companies start hiring these type of people they aren't doing themselves any favors. She terminated us two days after being hired for her position without considering whether we did anything wrong or not. All that it took was a photo of our blue recycling bin filled with flyers. She did not bother to check whether these were old flyers or even ask for an explanation as to what was going on. She did not consider that we were working for the company for over ten years, she did not consider that we went out of our way to get to know the neighbors, to work in all types of weather, and to even deliver flyers to people who had not signed up at our own expense and time without being paid. We were tossed aside as if all the work we had done for the company meant nothing. After being terminated by email we also did not get our complete payment for the work we did.

The success of a company starts at the top and clearly there is much improvement needed here, with the way the company is going..hiring people who abuse their authority, paying their workers next to nothing while asking them to do more, Calgary Flyer Force is setting itself up for failure. Ever since we were fired, flyer delivery has been sporadic, numerous neighbors have complained, workers have been hired and shortly leave thereafter. Calgary Flyer Force did not appreciate the time we spent for them and now they are suffering.

Be EXTREMELY wary signing up to work for this company, they will most definitely take advantage of you if you are young and just working for pocket money. If you rely on this job for most of your income, find another job ASAP and be ready to be terminated at any moment for any reason without pay. Calgary Flyer Force does not care one bit for its employees.
