Junk Mail

**JulieA** · 08-06-2004, 12:09 AM

Do you get bombarded through the mail with annoying letters from Banks and Credit Card Companies? :-x

I am now on a mission to return the compliment.

Every time our family receives an unsolicited application form, we just stuff the paperwork into their reply paid envelope, write on it "No thanks" and send it back. The company is then charged the postage to receive it back. :badgrin:

If everyone around the world started to do this, companies might think twice about sending out so much junk.

Does anyone else do this?

What a wonderful idea. I will do that from now on. I was away on holiday recently and came back to over 60 items of mail and about 5 of them were for me and the rest was junk.....

yeah but if you do that they will stop putting pre paid envelopes in with their mail! I wouldnt return their stuff....just the envelope so when they open it they don't know why they have got a letter with nothing in it!!

Mind games!

Send back an empty envelope - now that is a good idea... I will start doing that as well!

Put something irrelevant in the envelope, now thats a good mind game.
Say a cat biscuit, or a leaf, a label, an elastic band, .... :twisted:

Or better still attach the envelope to a brick
