NO JUNK MAIL, POSTED LETTERS ONLY! (Confusion, for the diffusion, illusion and the other "usions" that you can think of)
Hi Neighbourly, "No Junk Mail - Posted Letters Only! I have much confusion about this mailbox signage of people's mailbox. When I am delivering newspapers mainly to the areas I deliver to, around Woodford Ave, Buscomb Ava, Te Kanawa, Part of Swanson Road, Lincoln Road, I see this signage on people's mailbox.
These are the straightforward signages I see daily which I think are pretty easier to understand and are readable:
Address Mail Only: Posted envelopes or letters
No Junk Mail: No Advertising or Circulars in these mailboxes
Strictly No Newspapers or Circulars; (Pretty Straightforward what that one means)
This is what I don't understand, I deliver the newspapers to the "No Junk Mail, Posted Letters Only" to other mailboxes and have had no complaints to those people who do want a newspaper. (Talking about the Western Leaders I deliver to people mailboxes every week).
I did deliver newspapers to the other mailboxes with the same "No Junk Mail, Poster Letters Only" and my circular delivery person who drops off the deliveries at my house said that "such and such person at this number does not want a newspaper" So I look at the number at the mailbox with the "No Junk Mail, Posted Letters Only" and now just carry on to the next mailbox to deliver my newspaper to.
Anyone who does have the "No Junk Mail, Posted Letters" but do not want a newspaper, could you please put a "No Newspapers" sticker on your mailbox so it makes clearer sense for me and for others who deliver newspapers in your area.
Thanks.
Matt
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
