Junk Mail

I just got some junk mail today and it had one of those prepaid envlopes in it. I trying to decide what i should put in it when i send it back. I was thinking about metal shaving or even just scrap metal. I was also considering just taping it to a brick. Anybody got a better idea.

Gather up all the other junk mail and put it in the envelope & send it.

Next time , send it to another company.

My favorites:

1) Stuff it full of any paper available so they pay extra postage. Make it about 1/2" - 3/4" thick. Smear grease on some of the stuff so they get it on their hands

.

2) If you have any scrap steel sheet, put it in there after taping it to cardboard.

3) Tape a brick to it and dump it in a mailbox. KLUNK!

Go for a cinder block if you can stuff it into a mailbox someplace.

4) Tape some old 2x4 to it so they pay postage based on the size of the "gift". Never tried this one................yet anyway.

I did some investigaing and found that the envlope must weigh 13 ounces or less. 13 ounces is the max for first class, and that is the only way the envlope can go.

I send every prepaid envelope back empty. I used to stuff them full of metal scraps and tape them up but the post office gave me a warning that the scraps I was mailing might be considered dangerous. Now as soon as I get them I seal them. Sometimes I'll save up 20 or 30 and take them in all at once. Now the PO gets a kick out of it because I tell them I'm doing this to keep them in business.

Do this for a couple weeks and I guarantee your outlook on junk mail will change. I just can't wait to get my next credit card application in the mail with a fancy new envelope to mail back.
