The excitement of hearing the letterbox is often short lived by realising that it’s just your friendly Postman delivering a whole fucktonne of shitty ‘To the Occupier’ mail outs through your door.
Did you know you can stop them? You can actually opt out from recieving this pile of junk – and it’s really easy too.
You can read all about it here
But in short – all you need to do is send a blank email to optout@royalmail.com and they will send you back a PDF to fill in and sign. You then post it back to a freepost address and in six weeks you’ll stop getting the rubbish through for two years. Pretty cool eh?
have you actually tried it though? we did this at our old house and the problem is that it required the postman to actually remember which houses do and do-not get the crap. 9 times out of 10 our postman would forget and then, when I was last on maternity leave and I quizzed him about it if I was at home when he posted the junk through the door he would apologies profusely (because i think they can get penalised for it)
