Despite a notice on my letterbox which reads: "NO COMMERCIAL LEAFLETS" and another sign on the door which reads: UNSOLICITED CATALOGUES WILL NOT BE RETURNED, Kleeneze agents still insist on putting catalogues through my door and expect me to return them!

The two Kleeneze agents operating in my area have been reported to Chris Hinds (Head of Marketing, Kleeneze) and also to Trading Standards for dubious claims they make in their own leaflet, which include with the Kleeneze catalogue.

    My guess is that despite the notice on your door, you do return their catalogues, suggesting you don't mean what you say.
  • Haven't had a kleeneze or betterware catalogue since I put my sign up, if only chuggers and clothes collection bag deliverers could read as well.

    They can expect the return all they like but when I get them they go directly to the recycling bin. I have had a sulky betterware rep when this was explained. I offered them the choice of not putting it through my door again and thus far they haven't.

    You used big words.... they can't even do joined up writing yet maybe.

    Keep it simple.
  • I ripped the catalogue in half and put it back in their plastic wallet to collect, I never got another, childish, but they kept posting them through!

    I used to write "NO UNSOLICITED MAIL PLEASE" in very large letters accros the front of every catalogue put through my door with a Permanent Marker then leave out to be collected. Not had one for ages now :)

    What a pointless remark

    In my area Betterwear/Kleeneze agents change every few months so the problem recurs each time the agents change.

    The latest Kleeneze reps have only been in the UK for about 3 years.

    I write a message on the catalogue saying they have been reported to Trading Standards and to Kleeneze Head Office.

    I also write my address and my 0871 number (10p/min to call) on their order form.

    If they do call me, the call is automatically recorded and logged against their phone number (even when their number is withheld). If they were to get obnoxious during any call they make, the recording would be sent direct to Kleeneze's Head of Marketing (Chris Hinds)
