Hi guys,
By the common name alone I think even climate deniers can agree, Junk Mail is a waste.
I don't know what kind of initiative or approach we could take but we need to start spreading awareness and asking companies and businesses to stop with the Junk Mail.
I understand that businesses need advertising to thrive but putting a piece of paper through a door isn't going to want me (and I presume most people) want to buy a product anymore than I already did.
We know trees are finite and that we need to reduce paper waste, we know that by and large recycling isn't available universally and where it is available, not necessarily everyone recycles.
I imagine some people have started this before but I want to raise the point again.
Something needs to be done about Junk Mail viz. Individual material advertising.
EDIT: I suppose the point I was trying to make, isn't removing the receiving of junk mail but the production.
Just because its not delivered doesn't mean it isn't produced.
I officially became a homeowner last month and 99% of my mail has been nothing but junk. It’s always some fake notice about a package being on hold for me or for new blinds. I also didn’t know there were so many pest control companies out there. It’s like every other day it’s another company knocking at my door.

It almost seems like junk/informative mail, so my mother thought it was and threw it away by accident, and so did a few people I heard from. You need that to redeem your oximeter. Just a heads-up.
There has to be a way to make the bullshit mail stop. Why do I get dish and dominos and Costa vida mailers...I don't want any of this paper sent to my mail box!
Hi there!!!! I have lots of cards and stamps that I wanna send and create some happy moments with!
Comment below and PM/message me with your details and a prompt and I’ll get a card headed your way!
As quite a few posts here have discussed, putting junk mail back in your mailbox is not going to magically make it go back to where it came from… if it’s addressed to the correct person, or “Current Resident” “Postal Customer” etc etc.. it’s legally been delivered, and not going to go back to a return address.
Everyone gets junk mail, even the nice people who work at the post office get junk mail, if you don’t like junk mail, Toss it in your own trash bin.

Think of the savings that marketing companies could make on printing costs, simply by employing the work experience kid to search up their targeted addresses on Street View, then not sending 92 flyers to a block of leasehold flats
Just thought I'd make a post about it. I've recently decided to go back and start listening from Ep #400 onwards (hoping to eventually work my way through the earlier stuff later) and Ep #404 (Bullet to the Head) has what might be the most entertaining Junk Mail segments I've heard.
It consisted of the following junk mails
- Film Junk celebrity look-alikes
- Friendships that were terminated due to disagreements over films
- Criticism about the often wayward side-stepping conversations on the show (mind you, the listener was new and was definitely a fan of the show)
- Criticism about the lack of Errol Flynn in the crew's top 100 list + anger at the supposed remark by one of the guys that "if you don't love Tree of Life or The Master, you're not a true film lover" >!which the guys were surprised by as none of them remembered saying that!<
- Question about why the guys hate DVDs so much and whether or not it is understandable for someone who doesn't have a lot of money to stick with DVDs over Blu-ray
The last three e-mails were all criticisms by people who were fans of the show and was perhaps the most entertaining part to listen to, especially seeing as how the guys actually responded honestly to those concerned listeners. It's always fun to hear emails from people who are fans of the show that generally offer nothing but praise but when fans of the show can offer criticisms, that's also refreshing to listen to in my opinion.
This segment tended to bring about some of the best moments on Film Junk and I do hope the guys decide to bring it back on a monthly basis or something as there's still plenty of potential for interesting junk mail on the show. It's understandable why Sean and co. have removed it recently since there's a lot of emails that tend to be about similar things (favourite this or that) but at it's best, I just adore Junk Mail.
The real reason for this post is that I do miss the recent absence of Junk Mail. I do find myself feeling a little bummed out when the episodes finish almost immediately after What We Watched (unless there's an extended spoiler discussion) and while the guys more than deserve to trim down the episodes at this point (it's hard not to appreciate the consistent quality of the show for over a decade), I do wish there was an extra little segment. Even the news was great because it brought on interesting and memorable side-steppings on the show (such as the recent Lord & Miller fiasco for Solo) and w

They did everything they could to make it appear as an actual VA letter without getting sued. The envelope is stamped VA reduction program The first thing you see when opening is bold font says new payment 382.
I seriously think this thing could cause a suicide because of its appearance. Who would I contact about this. I tried informing the company that sent it and they just said OK and hung up.
Always assumed the people dropping off the leaflet wouldn't take any notice if it.
Anyone else just get a surge of emails get sent to the junk mail folder?
It's definitely reduced my junk mail drastically. Still undecided whether it's less annoyance considering how much more annoying it is when leaflet delivery people put it through anyway

Times are tough
Now I have to post it back stating no TV lovers known at this address.
My company has used Constant Contact for email marketing for years. Suddenly, folks who have previously been receiving our emails are reporting that they are now going to their junk folders. This problem has been happening since May and CC hasn't given us any solution.
Anyone else having this issue?
Do we switch to Mail Chimp? Will that encourage our emails to get flagged as junk?
Thanks!
