Subject: RE: BS: Unaddressed Mail (uk)
here in Oz our Post Office makes lots of money from dropping pamphlets in mail boxes! They have to make up revenue lost from folks who email rather than mail. Apparently if a householder puts a "No unaddressed Mail" sticker on their post box they apparently don't get unaddressed mail, HUH! A lot of junk mail is delivered by folks who aren't employed by Australia Post, but I can often stop that by picking it up from the floor & putting it into our recycling bin, rather than my neighbor's boxes tho I can't do anything about junk mail (oops interesting pamphlets) delivered with my mail.

Must have been a protest or two (thousand) from business customers whose boxes filled with junk, as holders of Post Office boxes can tick a box saying no unaddressed mail, so I don't get any in my Post Box. I also made sure I ticked the boxes before sending invoices to the treasurers of the 2 committees whose mail I collect. Unfortunately Australia Post doesn't seem to offer a similar service to householders, but then most householders don't see the need to pay for a private Post Box when they have a perfectly good mail box at their front door.

good luck with your protest.
