Australia post no junk mail stickers
The eternal struggle against junk mail!
Australia Post offers a "No Junk Mail" sticker service, which allows you to indicate to mailers that you don't want to receive unsolicited mail. Here's how it works:
How to get the sticker:
- Visit your local Australia Post outlet or online store.
- Purchase a "No Junk Mail" sticker for $1.50 (as of 2022).
- Attach the sticker to your mailbox or letterbox.
What the sticker means:
The sticker is a clear indication to mailers that you don't want to receive unsolicited mail, including:
- Catalogs
- Brochures
- Flyers
- Credit card offers
- Telemarketing calls
Important notes:
- The sticker only applies to mail sent through Australia Post. If you receive junk mail from other sources, such as private companies or charities, the sticker won't affect those.
- Some mailers may still send you mail, even with the sticker, if they have a legitimate reason to do so (e.g., a bill or a response to a previous inquiry).
- You can still receive mail from organizations you've specifically requested information from or have a prior relationship with.
Alternative options:
If you're not interested in purchasing a sticker, you can also:
- Register with the Australian Direct Marketing Association's (ADMA) "Do Not Mail" register, which allows you to opt-out of receiving unsolicited mail.
- Contact individual companies or organizations you don't want to receive mail from and ask to be removed from their mailing lists.
Remember, while the "No Junk Mail" sticker is a useful tool, it's not a guarantee that you won't receive any junk mail. However, it's a simple and effective way to reduce the amount of unwanted mail you receive.
