Return to Sender Offenders

Filed under: Transport, random rants — Tags: , — admin @ 2:11 pm

I’m totally fed up with the way I keep getting certain items of junk mail I have no interest in reading. I have no problem with things I’ve asked for, or offers which are relevant, but some people have no idea how to managae a database, and that really does make me mad!

PCR Magazine - you are the latest Return to Sender offender! Your last magazine claimed to be a sample, so I hoped by not returning the form, I wouldn’t get another copy. I have no interest in a magazine for computer & IT resellers - I hate bloody computers, they are just a work tool I have to use, but I would never sell the damn things!

You can’t just shove the item back in the mailbox, as you can guarantee it will come straight back. Simply fixing a label saying “Return to Sender” doesn’t seem to work either, as Royal Snail employees simply scratch that off, and send it back to you. Forget about e-mail, Royal Mail just employ e-gits!

So, I hope that these labels (based on Avery L7171) will work. You can download the gif file (right hand mouse click), and get the labels in Staples stores.

Hopefully, this magazine will end up where it belongs, and find a useful home!

  1. I agree with your sentiments entirely.

    Love the label.

    “based on Avery L7171″ - is that a relative?

  2. Maybe somewhere high up the family tree, but I’m not aware of any close direct link. If you see John D Wood estate agents, that’s my great-great grandfather, but unfortunately I’m well out of the inheritance game for that one!
