Rimfireboy Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 If, like me, you get fed up with most of your mail going in the bin cos its junk, hold on. Save up all the pre paid envelopes and when it's convenient , post em back empty. The sender will be charged for the postage. If everybody did this, they would soon get sick of the cost and maybe they would stop sending the **** and also save some paper in the long run.

bobt Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 isnt it better to send the contents of one to the others? it gives them something to read, and costs them more in excess postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricko Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 This was my New Years resolution; to cut down the junk mail received. Each week i email companies and tell them to stop sending stuff. My Car insurance is due next month, so every insurance company under the sun has been sending me 'quotes'. Does my head in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 My method is similar to yours, except that I include advertising for my own business when I return the envelope - every little helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
