Time to Renew My Royal Mail Opt-Out
Anyone fed up with Royal Mail pushing unaddressed mail through their door can opt-out.
Apparently, my 2 years of opting out have now expired, so that explains why the postie is cramming more crap through my door.
Yes, I know it's a job creation scheme, for the leaflet designers, the printers, the bulk deliverers, the postman, the bin-men, the recycling centre sorting people, and paper-makers, but to be honest, it's mostly absolutely unwanted by anyone in my household, so I prefer to opt-out.
Bear in mind that the Royal Mail don't deliver election material, so you should still get that if you opt-out.
And also bear in mind that Royal Mail reckons that 75% of junk mail doesn't actually come from them. So you might want to invest in a "NO JUNK MAIL" sign for your letterbox, and then jump out on the first people that ignore that sign, to give them a piece of your mind, so that they get the message.
The process involves going to Royal Mail website, writing to an address, waiting while you receive back gumph explaining the process, and then filling out a form, and post it back to them. So much for being simple!
To save a bit of time, you could download the paperwork they sent to me click on the link in that to download the OPT-OUT FORM, fill that in and mail it off.
Once you've opted out, RM should send you a sticker saying OPTED-OUT which you need to put somewhere near your letter box - after all, the poor old postie can't be expected to remember EVERYONE who has opted out.
