to think that if someone posts something through your door you're not obliged to give it back?

Rant about those companies who constantly post tat filled catalogues through my door. I know they provide flexible work for people and have no problem with that, they just don't interest me. I always put them back out to be collected on the day they specify, sometimes with a note asking them to stop giving me the damned things. They keep coming. Last week I put one out on Monday as requested and went to work. When I got home it was still there. Still there by Wednesday evening, at which point I binned it. I was home on Thursday, when a rep knocked on the door asking for their catalogue. They were very unimpressed to hear I'd binned it, as apparently it wasn't mine to bin. Am I unreasonable to be very irritated by this? If you want your junk mail back, don't post it through my door! Grrr.

What Fudge said.

I put an Avon book out on the morning it said to be collected and 5 days later it is still sat there. It will be recycled on tuesday.

Yanbu op, it gives me The Rage

We've had a sign up since we moved in 20 years ago. They never pay any attention but still post their catalogues through.

YANBU
At ours they get put in the bin the day they arrive. Does anybody ever buy anything from them anyway.

If you put a note in the catalogue to say you don't want them to deliver to your house anymore, remember to put your address on the note

When collecting up the catalogues, the agents don't look at the contents of the bag as they go round they look when they get home and there's nothing more disheartening than finding a note and not knowing who left it for you. You know you're going to piss somebody off but there's nothing you can do about it.

YANBU, If posting junk mail costs them money they will be motivated to stop.

Same thing happens here. There must be a high turnover - we keep putting notes in, they stop for a few months, and then start reappearing. I leave them out until the 'collection' day, and recycle afterwards. I'd say about 1 in 5 times do they actually recollect. It did not make me encouraged that I could actually successfully buy something had I wanted it! Only once did we have someone knock for one, and we had been on holiday and dug through the pile behind the door but it wasn't there. Never found it.

Absolutely fudge. As far as I'm concerned I have a "no junk mail" sign on my door. If junk mail comes through the door it goes straight in the recycling bag

A friend has a small neatly lettered and laminated note on her letterbox, it states that all catalogues will be binned, without exception. She doesn't get any through the door any more:o

I have a I don't buy at the door sign, I still get catalogues, repeat calls asking for catalogue return etc.
There is no cover to leave a catalogue in so they get ruined in the rain, and I have pointed this out repeatedly.
They still deliver their catalogue.
They still want it left outside.
They still knock if it isn't there.
They complain if it is wet.
They won't stop!
