How to stop Royal Mail Junk Mail

138 Posts

I'm honestly sick and tired of dealing with them using my home as a rubbish bin. I've opted out multiple times, I have repeatedly complained to them, I have put notices on my door, I've done everything except tape up my letterbox.
I know that's how they make a lot of money, but I am not their dumping ground!!!
Why do I have to keep dealing with their trash???
I need them to STOP.

Therefore if you have complained then not sure what further action would happen, Ofcom suggest dispute resolution once deadlock is reached for Royal Mail complaints, but that probably isn't relevant here Royal Mail - Ofcom
The only other advice from Ofcom leads back to the above link Advice for consumers - Ofcom
It might help to chat to the postie who is delivering to you, if you have the same person most of the time they might listen and not deliver the bulk mail to you if asked.
But avoid the emotive language, they are not dumping anything, they are delivering what they are paid to do. The sender whoever it might be doesn't think of their flyer being trash.
You havent explicitly confirmed you opted out via the website? (which lasts 2 years)
Many folks believe opting out is simply saying you dont want them.
FYI Given your environmental concerns. the leaflets will still be made regardless of opt out.
Although please do not do what a friend of mine did. He was that busy 'showing them who was in charge' using his shredder, that he shredded a cheque payment to him for several hundred quid.
