I thought nowadays we are only meant to be ‘opting in’ to emails we want to receive..

Why then do I have to send an OPT OUT form to Royal Mail to stop all the crap coming out thru my door?????!!!

So wasteful this is going in most people’s bins and such a pia.

AIBU?

Are you registered with the mail preference service? It filters out some of it

Ooh thanks, will look

I was told if I opt out of all their crap I won’t get certain local council information such as voting

Whoever told you that was talking straight out of their arse.

We were opted out for years. We're only back 'in' because we moved and I haven't got around to it yet. You do still get local council/voting information. We even got cameron's brexit leaflet. They just don't want you to opt out because it's a nice money earner for them.
