Post Office - stopping the junk
- Thread starter Harry Bloomfield
- Start date
There still is! We hardly get any such mail, so not much point to registering. My point about the RM's form to stop their junk deliveries, was the speed and effectiveness, with which they acted. It was annoying for several reasons - It was an unnecessary waste of resources, printing, delivering, then recycling them, plus my time, sorting my genuine mail items, from the dross.
Life is so much easier, and less stressful, without having to deal with piles of junk, pushed through my letterbox. Why tolerate something you don't need to tolerate? Why add to the piles of junk mail, which needs recycling, wasting resources, in delivering it, and dealing with the aftermaths?

You don't have to but don't want to pay the PO to sort it for you. I'm genuinely not sure what are expecting to happen, it takes me 2 seconds to bin it in the morning.
The junk mail companies get enough customers out of it and the PO make money by delivering it, it's just a very small inconvenience for most, if that.
The usual, only to be expected idiotic reply from Dense, intended to be simply trolling for a response...
RM, simply omit to include junk, which is less effort for them, than including it. RM's core business, is the sorting and delivery of letters and parcels - mail. Some years ago, they sought to make themselves a little more profitable, by delivering junk mail, to the extreme annoyance of many of their customers.

I'm really sorry you feel that way, it wasn't meant like that.
You don't want junk mail but don't want to pay for it to be stopped.
Nonsense, what cost is involved in not receiving something you don't want, or need?

I misread your OP. It's free to opt out, which is even better.

What I don't like, is people taking photos of my door step. I go onto the local Facebook page, and there are photos galore showing door steps with parcels which have been miss delivered. The delivery people no longer ring the doorbell, so no chance of saying sorry that's not for me.
Except for the PostOffice lady, who I think has a crush on me, as she keeps asking my age? I look like Father Christmas, so it is very clear over 21-year-old, maybe there is an upper age limit?

It only takes a second...
On Friday, we had some parcels delivered, just dumped at the back end of the drive. It was hot, the side door alongside the drive was wide open, so obviously someone home. They had walked past the front door, to where they dumped the parcels, and run - quicker for them, would have been to simply knock on the front door. We would never have known to look for them, had a text not come through.
