Ok you have to do this. you'll feel real good.

OK we all hate getting junk mail in the mailbox, well I have a solution I've been using for years and I'll tell ya it gives me a good feeling every time.

I hate junk mail, but I LOVE Pre-Paid "No Postage necessary" envelopes from junk mailers. WHY? Simple, It allows me to send my junk mail Forward right back to them...

------See Short Version at bottom of Post------

Remember these companies pay for the postage on the "No Postage Necessary" based on weight. SO I shred their "Terrific Offer", then I find my "VAL-Pac" coupons, or some other junk mail, and I stuff, (I MEAN PACK) that "No Postage necessary" envelope full of all the OTHER Junk Mail and send it off.

I send Playboy’s Offer off to the Coalition for Family Values; I send the Visa junk to MasterCard, and the MasterCard junk to Discover. PLUS whatever I have lying around. Tire Ads and Pizza Coupons from local businesses, folded newspaper pages. Hell anything I want to get rid of, goes in those envelopes.

Here's the best part. YOU’RE HELPING OUR COUNTRY! The Postal carriers have had less and less mail to deliver due to email, so by costing the Junk mail companies lots of money we are keeping the Postal Guys employed. Win WIN!!!!!

Write little messages, be rude, be kind, whatever! Express yourself or just pass it along!


--- Short version!

- Keep all the "No Postage Needed" Junk mail return envelopes.

- Stuff them full of "other" Junk mail offers and coupons or whatever. Make it heavy.

- Mail em' off knowing you are costing the Junk Mail Companies Lots of money, and helping out our letter Carriers all at the same time!!!!

NOTE- Make certain NOT to mail Back your address or name on any of the Junk you send out, You'll get even MORE junk mail...

Heck, Include pages of the latest Sears Catalog or something... Be creative!

That's an oldie but goodie..

It's a great idea...would take millions to get 'em to get the hint

 

[turbojonn]

How about thin scrap metal? You could cut it to fit in the envelope. I'm thinking you could get maybe up to a pound in one of those suckers. I am SO going to do this! Thanks Revlis, you're wonderfully evil.

 

[VaBusa]

Personally, I'm thinking that sticking something stinky in there, like some cat poo, would be great...

Probably some huge fine for that though...hrmmmm

 

[Revlis]

OK Yeah It would take millions, so lets spread the word, and do it. If nothing else it gives you that little satisfied "ah that's nice" feeling as you drop them in the box...

 

[Revlis]

OH DAMN!!!! EVEN BETTER!!!!

Check this out!!! Spam The SPammer ++++

I have a new hero and I am off to buy some brick!!!

Ok, I am in...

Cue Flounder from Animal House "Oh boy is this great"......

 

[VaBusa]

Shared it with my coworkers; we're crying at the pic of the cut up tire in the box

 

[bigdr]

Brilliant....

OK I found out where I heard this first I think.

"When you get "ads" enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these "ads" with your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away.

When you get those "pre-approved" letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope.

Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them more than the regular 37 cents postage "IF" and when they receive them back.

It costs them nothing if you throw them away! The postage was around 50 cents before! the last increase and it is according to the weight. In that case, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage-paid return envelopes.

One of Andy Rooney's (60 minutes) ideas.

Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their blank application back!

If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them.

You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them 37 cents.

The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own junk back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM them. Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all they're paying for it...Twice!

Let's help keep our postal service busy since they are saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need to increase postage costs again. You get the idea !

If enough people follow these tips, it will work — I have been doing this for years, and I get very little junk mail anymore."

i have been thinking about this for a while now and i thought it wouldn't affect the companies because of the high circulation. i guess i was wrong.
