Does anyone else get unwanted Ad Mail in their letterbox?
Hi guys,
I've recently been on a bit of tirade because for months now I have been receiving weekly junk mail in my letterbox, despite having two signs requesting No Junk Mail and No Ad Mail Please. This week I finally decided to do something about it.
It occurred to me that if it was happening to me then maybe others in the area were getting unwanted ad-mail too? Receiving unwanted mail is always slightly frustrating, but particularly so when you're trying to decrease the demand for paper mail and 'do your bit' for the planet. (One resident in Christchurch collected junk mail for a year and found it stacked up to around 7kg and was nearly two meters high!)
If you're experiencing this problem and want to do something about it then you can contact the Mailbox Helpline on 0800 111 081. It helps them to know what kind of junk mail is being delivered, so they can trace it back to the relevant contractor.
If you don't have a No Junk Mail / Circular / Ad-Mail sign but would like one, you can get a free sticker for your mailbox by making a request through letterboxer.org.nz or, if you simply prefer to get your ad-mail electronically you can use, ecomailbox.co.nz

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)
