As per title - I utterly hate junk mail and take great delight in forcing massive swathes of crap into prepaid envelopes, happy in the knowledge that I've cost that company a few pence.

Poll please if possible?

A:I put it in the recycling like any sane person (after removing any personal details of course)

B:I stuff as much as I can into the return envelope (after removing any personal information) and do a little jig every time I force one of my little 'return to sender' jobbies back home

:D:D
 
Oh - I've asked this before but got no real answer...

I know that the companies only get charged if the mail goes back to them - what about overweight charges though?

Say I strapped a return envelope to a brick - who would pay for that? The automated returns/charge to the company or would it be lost in the ether?

They would be charged as part of their royal mail fees - they only pay on postage actually used (it's not really "pre-paid"), so would pay extra for heavy stuff.

I did hear about someone sending an old tyre back with one of those envelopes attached.
 
B: post it back and feel good about myself all day;)

I also have a small bin in the porch with junk mail in but no one seems to take the hint.

I save it up for a month or so and then stuff it all through my neighbour's letterbox in the small hours. I've been doing that for over a year now and the moron still hasn't figured out who's doing it.

So much effort, to open all the mail, check to make sure your name is not on any of it, collect and stash it in your own place for a month and get out in the middle of the night.

Seriously ?

What has that got to do with all that effort? :confused:

His neighbour could be Hitler reincarnated, it only means his neighbour is pain in the butt, it has no relevance in the effort on his end.

If that is all he can think of to annoy him as revenge though, that's a bit a non-story too.
 
Have done B occasionally a few times. But mostly A as i can't be bothered to get to a letterbox.

It would be interesting hearing about someone who works for a company opening pre-paid stuff and how many people actually send back crap for the fun of it.
 
I have a friend who complained on her FB page about the amount of takeaway menus she got

So I saved all mine for a few months and then posted them through their door in 1 go :p

If it junk mail the postie delivers I shove it in the letterbox (right outside the house), if it's random menus I just put them in the recycling.

Effort? You think dropping any junkmail like menus and that crap addressed to 'The Occupier' into a plastic box under the stairs takes any effort? It's actually a lot less effort to do that than it is to walk all the way through the house, into the backyard and down to where the bin lives.
