Talk Talk junk
Every week I get a letter addressed to
A Super Value (that's not my name) Ending with the postcode CA11 2DAY (no such postcode, guess in Cambridge) ![]() I usually write "misdelivered send to Cambridge" on them and put them back in a postbox. Today I chased after the postman and told him he had misdelivered. Of course he said "No, everyone gets one." I told him I didn't want it if not correctly addressed. Eventually he took it off me saying he would throw it away (is he allowed to throw away post?) My point is this junk is a pain matched only by Virgin Media and Sky for junk post, but at least the other two address it correctly. |

Yes, it's junk mail, yes, it's annoying, but running after the postman to say it was 'misdelivered'!? Blimey, some people...
Just put it in the recycling bin. |

Just put it in the recycling bin. If you don't want it write to Royal Mail and ask to be taken off the list then you won't get the bulk unadressed mail |

Those leaflets are delivered by Royal Mail and are in addition to the postal service. I.e. they get the delivery staff to put them through the door, when they put post through (or in my case sometimes I just get junk).
As the junk mail doesn't have a stamp on it (some say "Hand Delivered by Royal Mail") they aren't bound by the same delivery requirements as Post. I agree running after the postman is a bit extreme, at the end of the day, they are doing their jobs. A simple Google search would have taken you to: http://www.royalmail.com/personal/he...ional-material Hope it helps MichaelAlanR

oh for goodness sake. I can't believe anyone run after a postman, for what is junk mail and you can tell it is junk mail. Ok, most people would be able to tell.
Every week? I get one about once every couple of months and it goes into the bin. |

That looks all very well. Does this mean the postman will carry a list of all addresses not wanting this junk? I have never seen him carrying such a list.

Agreed. It is a little childish chasing after him. It is a bulk drop for the postman, he has to deliver it to every house on his round. Believe me he doesn't want to as he doesn't get any extra money for it.

Gone I'm afraid. Postal workers were bought out of it. Now have to deliver up to 5 a week!

Why would you see him carrying a list? If you tell Royal Mail you don't want it a note is kept on his frame where he preps the mail. It only stops unaddressed mail, you will still get 'junk' addressed mail.
