Default Bundles and bundles of junk mail

I'm not talking about the local pizza place, but the AA and every other large institution

How on earth are they allowed to send you half a kilo gumpf for just signing up for years roadside breakdown ??? , it's not like I havnt been with them before either

My suppliers invoices don't even arrive by post anymore!

All this ****e goes straight into paper recycling box.

If only could get them to bypass the letterbox

They must be reading these pages ... they see the amount of cr4p you spout and assume that you want even more in written form - as you're clearly mentally deranged

Keep it until you get one with a business reply envelope. Then stuff the whole pile into the envelope and stick it in the post box the next time you are passing.

Nah, the postie still shoves lorry loads through my door.

I have to chuckle at the pathetic envelopes which say on the front "Important Information Enclosed" .... straight in the bin - it's always some water scale company ........

I find Virgin are the worst. They send tons of "occupier" letters through with every local paper etc, and then they write to me personally every month as well!
I must have had about 50 letters from them in the past few years with thick colour brochures inside

Royal Mail are contracted to delivery up 6 leaflets per week, and they class it as "live mail" so posties have to delivery them (they treat it like a first class stamp). Even if you have a 'no leaflet' sign on your door they are still told to deliver them....shocking!

As well as registering on the mailing preference service (MPS), which will reduce addressed junk mail, you will need to formally request to stop leaflets being delivered by Royal Mail (this can be done online). This can take up to six weeks to process! Even after that you may still get leaflets through the door as I still get!!!! Best bet is to ask your postie and hope that he isn't a jobsworth or retard and will stop them for you.

I work at Royal Mail and still get them after doing all of the above!! So probably best to weld your letterbox shut!!
