HBD flats

used to be - junk mails into letter box

hdb upgrade mail box so that only postman with master key can put letters into the mail box

 

 

NOW

direct mailers - place flyers on door - litter all over corriders

junk mails in the letter box delivered by Singapore POST

I realised that SingPost is smarter than i think, they have literally cornered the junk mail market at our expense

we indirectly paid for the upgrade of the letter box

wrote to SingPost - no reply so far

 

please offer constructive suggestions

You should blame those direct marketing companies. not Singpost.

 

So you want to receive junk mail back in your mail box?

you miss the point

 

one, the "junk mail proof" mail box is no longer what it meant to be because SingPost has been sending junk mails from these marketing companies

two, if HDB can provide some notice board open to public or something, the household junk mails may be reduced and also there would be less litter around

I had wrote to SingPost and this is the reply from them,

 

" The flyers that are placed in your letter box so as to defray the operational cost" [rifle][furious]

 

So they are defraying their operational cost at our expense!

There's a Return Mail box in my block.

I just put the junk mail distributed by SingPost back to them.

 

As far as I'm concerned, junk mails are rejected by me, so it goes back to them.

Apart from creating a mess, flyers dumped at the metal gate/ front door also poses a security threat because if the family has gone for 2 weeks holiday, the amount of junk flyers accumulated is a sure giveaway that the house owner is not around...... almost like an open invitation to thieves and burglars..... :angry:

I also hate those flyers pasted on your windscreen..... especially during raining months. Once I just left my car at an open-air carpark and then the blardy flyer kena stuck onto my windscreen coz it had rained and then the sun came out so I had a hard time trying to scrape the flyer off the glass..... [thumbsdown]
