Opt Out Of Postman delivering Brochures & Leaflets

Having had a dozen, or so, brochures and leaflets stuck through the door by the Postman, I got a little stroppy and told him I didn't want anything not having my name and address on the front - i.e Brochures & Leaflets.

He suggested that he had no choice and had to deliver it.

Today I found out that you can opt out of this:-

Thank Goodness for that.

Now i won't have to go to the post box and stick them all back in ...!

It’s leaflets I find an annoyance as in ones from stores promoting what foodstuffs they have on offer. Royal Mail say they’re forced to deliver these....they’rre paid to do so.

Make sure you can see to make a will, all it needs is one from funeral director to make the set

I got that junk too, RS. It's been recycled.

Love your dog, Besoeker.
Our old Border Collie used to do that too, I had to be quick or it would have been shreaded, but when we had the front porch & she could no longer reach the post, she barked instead.

Any junk that has your address on it just cross out with a pen and write
"Return To Sender" on it and put it back in the post.

The junk mail comapny will get charged again for the postage which makes more money for our great Post Office and may make the junk mail company think twice before sending you stuff.

Thank you, Tiffany.
At least ours doesn't shred it. A few teeth marks and sometimes he will give a personal delivery. Need to work on that one.....
