In my opinion, postal mail spam is 100x worse than email spam. There is no spam blocker for your home mailbox.
What bugs me most about the unsolicited mail, apart from the fact that I have to go about shredding everything, is the fact that you have to jump through hoops just to get your name removed from a list you never asked to go on in the first place. Why should I have to spend my valuable time writing you to ask you to remove my name from your list? And have to use my perfectly good stamp at that!! Nothing about that is reasonable.
What is most disheartening about the whole thing is that, with each mailing, these charities send address labels, personalized note pads, calendars and all sorts of other unrequested nonsense. I will have to live in my apartment and mail 5 letters each day to get rid of all of the address labels I have acquired from the charities that I DON’T EVEN DONATE TO. Couldn’t those needy children have benefitted from the money spent on the mailing that is going to end up in the trash? I don’t know about you, but I closely examine things like that. If I am going to donate, I need to feel confident that my money will be well-spent.
In effect, please ease up on the mailbox assualt.
NEXT!
