False EconomiesSometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

Wait, is this even a real thing?You're seriously suggesting that ANY postie ANYWHERE is going to look at one of them stickers, look at the junk mail for THAT address in his hand and go "No, better not put this in that letter box"?
Really?
EVERY postie I know, apart from ONE, and I know a grand total of 4, would try to find MORE junk mail to put in.
And the one that wouldn't, wouldn't because to him doing his job RIGHT is all there is. BTW he is retarded. Really. As in his nickname is Trev The Rev, because his name's Trevor and he used to pretend he was a car. He used to walk around holding a steering wheel making "revving" noises. Yes. Really. He also got sacked from his postie job once for kicking his supervisor in the balls. But his colleagues threatened to go on strike until he got reinstated.
And he's a FUCKING GOOD POSTMAN.

To begin with.- almost all our junk mail is delivered by pavement pounders. The small amount that is put in my post box by the postie is in 'postage paid' envelopes. That means that Australia Post has clearly got it's cut. All the other advertising material as I've said is delivered by hand by someone who has had a whole bundle of pamphlets delivered to them and then they've often had to collate those pamphlets into some sort of order and then deliver them to their allotted area.
- your research parameters are somewhat limited. 4 people and one of them is a mong? Does he make the revving noises as the postie bike is actually running? Cast a wider net next time maybe.
- finally - if you look at the pamphlet carefully there is often a printers code. Usually on the bottom of either the front or back page. If you contact the printers and tell them that you have no wish to have any of their publications delivered to your abode they will probably try to meet your demands by dumping a pallet's worth on your front doorstep.
