Incorrect. Completely in left field about the junk mail. Maybe it used to be that way, but no longer.That note isn't enough to stop junk mail. The post office has a legal contract to deliver "junk" mail, and the ONLY way out of the contract is for you to apply to the post office. It has to be done at the post office, before sort... other wise it's up to the carrier to get rid of YOUR junk mail, which can get him fired
I used to be a postie
... and the only people allowed, by law, to put stuff in YOUR mailbox is the post office (that law doesn't get a lot of traction)
it’s called “Consumer Choice”. If you put the note into your mailbox, the postie is supposed to open and app on their Data Terminal, type in the address and check the “NEIGHBOURHOOD mail” box to “no.” Supervisor will come to your sorting station and give you a red dot to put on that address in your sorting case, indicating no junk.
At “sequenced” depots, you’re not allowed to put your junk mail into your case. The only thing supposed to go in is the manual sort mail.
