Junk mail
I have a cunning plan. Well, it's not really that cunning, infact it's puerile, but it will give me a sense that I am fighting back against Royal Mail and their cheek at, not only hiking up postage rates, whilst making a nice little profit, but also shoving unsolicited mail through my letterbox. Whats the plan? Simple, I'm going to post it all back to them. Alone, I will be annoying, if we all did it though we could cause them as much annoyance as they cause us.

IanB / Website (10.10.06 08:16) This actually sounds like a good plan. If we get together every single piece of junk mail we can and post it through the letterboxes outside the postal offices - preferably with the words "FREEPOST: return to sender" in big black marker pen they might actually start to listen. I feel sorry for the postman - they have to cart all this junk around and my guess would be without any extra pay... |

stroppycow / Website (10.10.06 20:03) Sorry to say but Royal mail probably makes money from the "returns service" by charging the service to direct mailing firms. The cost would be factored in the price of the product which is sold via direct mailing by the company which sell the stuff in question. There is a way to opt out of having junk delivered by your postman, it's just a form to fill in I have been told but I am afraid I can't remember which part of the Royal mail website you can download it from. I'll check it out. |
