Open Letter to Amanda Maltby

Dear Ms. Maltby:
No Flyer Notice
I do not actually have a “no flyer “ notice on my mailbox, but thank you
for reminding me to put one up. I am pleased to be able to confirm to
you that I do not wish to have my mailbox stuffed with advertisements
and other unsolicited garbage. I realize that this class of material is
one of the few profitable services that remains in the current business
plan of Canada Post, but I would urge you to extend your admirable
conservation efforts in using recycled materials in your mailing to the
preservation of our resources by not pushing the distribution of
unaddressed materials and not delivering “OCCUPANT/L’OCCUPANT” mail to
my address.
I appreciate that it is not in the interest of Canada Post to provide
an email address to which I can direct this note, but I would urge you
to provide a faster and less costly way of communication whereby I might
determine that you are open to change and improvement by way of
customer feedback.
Sincerely
OCCUPANT/L’OCCUPANT
I just put the “no ad-mail” sign in my mailbox. However, the website from which I got the sign (http://www.reddotcampaign.ca/) explains it this way:
ReplyDelete“We applaud Canada Post’s eco-friendly Consumer Choice option that reduces waste and clutter. All you need to do is put a “No Admail” or “No Junk Mail” sign on your mailbox. * The Consumer Choice database is decremented for each person opting out, and advertisers reduce their print quantities accordingly. Refer to Canada Post’s website for more details.”

Canada Post is just being pro-active by keeping track of the numbers of people who “opt out” of junk mail. It is hard to say…
