Title: Junk Mail?
Post by: daysdeepclean on June 22, 2009, 08:58:12 am: I have just put a "No Junk Mail!" sticker on my door and realised that I'm maybe being a bit of a hypocrite. Do any of you consider your leaflet "Above" the description as junk mail and still post them through people's doors?

I did last week by mistake and half expected a phone call to complain, I would have probably still tried to sell my services to them though ;D

On the other hand a lot of these stickers look quite old and could easily be from previous owners.

Also, that way i know it'd being put in the recyling bin and not in someones garden or the canal etc. I have to say, whilst i'd sooner not get it, i can't see the issue. I get far more junk mail sent to me via the mail system than i do random leaflets. :(

Post by: daysdeepclean on June 22, 2009, 11:31:42 pm: I'm sick of going to the tip and recycling crap leaflets.... I must say though, I wouldn't be offended if a local business was popping their leaflets through my door, It's the "To The Occupier" letters I hate! And the ones offering me a stair lift, I'm 36 and live in a bungalow.... (I'm joking about the bungalow ;D)

Post by: vacman on June 22, 2009, 11:36:59 pm: The ones 'to the occupier' are delivered by the Royal Mail, or at least mine are. My understanding is that they have to deliver them regardless.

It is all I've got to worry about, Oh and the mortgage, kids, business, male pattern baldness, toothache, being over weight, trying to quit alcohol, deciding what to make for tea tonight, house work, being burgled, road tax, council tax, tax, accountants, keeping the wife happy, Exel motors blowing up....... And a whole lot more ;D But Yesterday, Junk Mail was really pi55ing me off.... Today? Nothing really, got a cracking day ahead.... Cheers ;)

I have had customers phone me from a leaflet where there is a No Junk Mail sign on the door

You should put that pic on the leaflet, you will get lots of calls. Not sure they will be for CC though. ;D
