leaflets repeatedly wedged in letterbox

kuepper

At least once a week I come home to find leaflets sticking out my letterbox i.e. not posted through, thus leaving an advert to burglars there's no-one home and allowing passers by to easily see into my living room (the pavement is outside my door). My letterbox is an old traditional type so there is no excuse for anything not to be pushed through.


I found out who the firm was who delivers them (or rather doesn't deliver them) several times and complained to them and to the firms advertised on the leaflets but nothings changed and I'm beginning to wonder if it's now being done on purpose.



Is there anything I can do?

Opting out of unaddressed mail may reduce some of it, but it won't be 100% perfect.

It's not being done on purpose.

the firm on the leaflet will NOT be delivering , delivery is usually passed to self employed people that deliver multiple leaflets from many companies in one drop , , fit a box / bag behind box to stop eager eyes

How do leaflets sticking out of your letter box allow passers by to see in? Surely they could do that anyway and the letterbox has nothing to do with it?

How big is your letterbox?

I've got a sticker on my letterbox and another in the window stating no unaddressed mail, no cold callers etc. Seems to have stopped the majority. Op

Because they wedge the standard size springed flap open, and my letterbox is roughly shoulder height, fitted vertically

Nice letter to the company on the leaflet telling them what a terrible company they employed to deliver their leaflets?

Tried that with every one that has an email or postal address but one firm seems to have a local monopoly on delivery and they don't seem to care the leaflets aren't getting delivered

The company paying to advertise, print leaflets and have them delivered are not interested in their delivery company doing a good job?

I would have been creative with my complaint

Whoever is delivering the leaflets has only one intention- to get rid of them as quickly as possible and get home. They are not going to spend time physically making sure that each and every leaflet is pushed completely through each letterbox.
