Have you been getting daily junk mail in your mail box lately?
It's getting so bad, it isn't worth the trip to walk down the driveway.

No I don't need earing aids
No I have enough credit cards
No I don't want/need a new car
No I don't want to sell my house

Save this crap for the snow-birds

It's the fault of the Postal Service for making it too cheap to send mail. Do you ever get junk mail from FedEx or UPS?

Without junk mail, there would be no Postal Service!

What’s the downside?

Exactly. I would like to cancel my account with the Postal Service. But, it is one of the few "services" that you cannot cancel.

And I am getting the mail for the lady who owned our home previously who had passed away 7 years ago.

Quite a lot if you are a postal worker or pensioner I should imagine!

Postal workers spend their entire career delivering tons of paper to people, 95 percent of which is worthless trash. And, they are paid more money than the people who pick up and dispose of the trash. What a system!

Post office delivers more packages then any of the other delivery services ups is second

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

Package delivery, prescription delivery, bills, health insurance statements, postcards from friends, wedding invitations, magazines I subscribe to - and I use the postal service to pay bills, write to friends.

In all, a useful service and dirt-cheap. Have you priced out the cost to send a letter via the cheapest FedEx option? Or send a response to a wedding invitation? How much do you think your Good Housekeeping subscription would cost if they had to send each month's edition via UPS?

I don't mind the junk mail. Sometimes it's actually entertaining. Usually I just throw it in the trash.

Have you ever heard of the internet??

Pay your bills by snail mail or go hi-tech.

Magazines? Who can afford them anymore, then ask yourself why they took
them out of waiting rooms??

One last advice:
When you send $$$$ through the mail by check, your reasonable until the receiver
cashes your check.
Pay on line with your credit card and it's instant.
Any money not received on the other end you can call your credit card company
to figure it out.

Happy 2021

" Save this crap for the snow-birds ,"...........poor folks probably have enough where they are now, too.

[Toymeister]

I've been going to the free chicken dinners. Once you go, without buying, they don't send you any more invitations.

For credit card offers I mail back the pre-approval to them in their own prepaid envelope and they spread the word

My approach has cut down my mail.

I thought a couple times, bundle all junk mail for a month, mark it "Return to Sender".
Then maybe someone out there would get the hint.
