It would be more expensive for them to send them out only when people ordered them.
Most people would have at least 1 neighbour that would do that for them, if not then it says more about you, your neighbours or just the world we are living in now.

How do you figure that?

Whhaaaa? I get on great with my neighbours but as the ones above me have a flight of concrete steps up to their front door I cant see their doorstep so wouldnt know if there was a Golden Pages sitting on it - nor would I usually know if they were away (unless they were right next door and had asked me to keep an eye on the place).
So with all the best intentions and good neighbourly relations, I wouldnt be picking up their Golden Pages from the doorstep.
Its more to do with the layour of housing/apartments rather than a reflection of personality or modern society.
is a commercial organisation, whose customers (the advertisers) pay to have their details listed in the Golden Pages phonebooks / website and the books delivered to phone users, commercial and residential.

They dont depend on people to do it, it's just suggested that if you know of a neighbour that is away, could you bring it in for them untill they are back from where ever.
I find it bizarre that someone would propose this imposition on neighbours free of charge to improve a commercial organisations profitability and redress an obvious security breach visited on unwitting neighbourhoods.
Free of charge....my god can we not do a simple thing for anyone, be it a friend, familt member of even a total stranger with out wanting to be paid. Your not being asked to babysit it for months, clean it and make sure it's comfortable for the short time it will spend at your house.
I believe its the responsibility of Truvo Ireland Ltd. and its agents to find an effective delivery solution that does not compromise the security of peoples' homes while they are on holiday.
This can be said for people that have glass porches, you can clearly see all the mail if someone is away. Or letter boxes on the wall. It's not that hard to know if someone is away.
There's a number of fairly obvious simple solutions that could include, for example, a post-card through the letter box with the address of a local central location (post-office, library, community centre, garda station) where directories can be collected, and paying the central location for the service.
Another expense that will increase the cost of advertising. And where do you propose that these places put the phonebook or golden pages? Can you imagine the space needed for 1000 of them. A pallet of golden pages only holds 340 golden pages!! Then you have people that might not drive, or elderly people that probably wouldn't be able to carry one home walking or on a bus.
People pay for these to be delivered to the door, same with ads taken out in news papers or leaflets. If you dont want them delivered you can have a sign on your letter box saying so.
And lets not forget all the people that would be out of a job also.
All this just so you dont have to do something which is at max only once a year and would be considered a 'nice' thing to do for a neighbour. Doesn't matter is you have lived beside them for 10 years or they have just moved in. Would it really be that much of a big deal to do??
Did you know only 340 golden pages fitted onto a pallet?
+1picked both of them up, walked thru house and dropped them in the green recycling bin
Maybe the don't pay for a listing.... I've often put in the name of a company I knew existed and it couldn't find them. ...
