IF you're going to do this, make sure use some sort of sealed package (like the box in the photo). You used to be able to slap these things on like a sheet of plywood and just send it as is but now if the package isn't sealed and is obvious misuse the post office can just throw it in the dumpster. If its a sealed package then the post office has to deliver it and the permit holder has to pay the charges. https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2019/pb22525/html/updt_001.htm
Huh. I should try this with the old refrigerator in my basement that I've been needing to get rid of.
If it wasn't shitty towards the post office people I would support it.
But under 10 lbs...
Sadly we have a weight and size limit on these, but if you can load a mini fridge and keep it under 70lbs it should be accepted.
Legally this is not shipping advice and purely a shitpost
Shiptost.
Now you have to cut up your refrigerator into 10lbs pieces
This is how we save the USPS.
I could be wrong but I think these are prepaid, not paid on delivery...
I just put another company's junk mail in their envelope and send it to them so they know how it feels.
Let's all do our part to help little boulders travel
Glaciers take millions of years to deposit boulders across the land.
Humans: "we can do better."
If there's one thing we're good at, it's moving rocks around
USPS got so pissed at me for just leaving my junk mail in the box. I told them over and over I didn't need trash delivered to my place. In the end, I just stopped all USPS deliveries. I had nothing of importance coming in through the mail.
Lol. I just stick it back into the outgoing mail slot if they dont listen to me. My box is clearly marked with 'no junk mail's signage.
Postal Employee: "May I help you?"
Kramer: "Yeah, I'd like to cancel my mail."
Postal Employee: "Certainly. How long would you like us to hold it?"
Kramer: "Oh, no, no. I don't think you get me. I want out, permanently."
That's an option?
You just have to move to a place where the post office is a disaster and you won't get mail anymore. Northern new Mexico, for one.
I once sent a thick telephone book with "Return to Sender - not at this address" on it after receiving mail addressed the previous house owner. This was after receiving their junk mail over several years and returning it with the same message scribbled on the envelope. This tactic finally worked and stopped the junk mail coming.
This must've been a long time ago. Otherwise where would you find a phone book, let alone a thick one.
Don't use a rock, use 10lb of glitter.
Nah. That would piss off the mailroom employees, but they don't control who gets sent mail. The weight costing money does hurt the people who make the marketing decisions, though.
Rock, and 5000 live cockroaches
Steady on Satan, they're only a credit card company! They're bad, but not that bad!
Check the barcode on the bottom and make sure it doesn't have your information in it.
What can they do? Send you more junk mail?
I have long fantasized about doing this exact same thing, especially to MAGA-types who somehow got my address and are mailing me requests for donations. Someone in those groups as well as THE SALVATION ARMY have discovered that those postage guaranteed reply envelopes cost money and prompt this response. So now all that stuff requires a stamp if you want to reply. I hope that's cut down on their fundraising efforts.
