Worst Junk mailers?

Post by Harry_Perkins »

I'm sure this has been done before but I feel like venting after the amount of s**t I've had to deliver today. Over the years, I literally must have delivered several tons of AA and Virgin Media cobblers. Will these c***s ever give it a rest? To add to that, I include Domino's Pizza in terms of Doors to Doors. Who in your area is almost solely responsible for the decimation of the Amazon?
You must understand that I am here purely as A BEARER OF MESSAGES.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Has to be Virgin Media not only d2d's but addressed letters trying to drum up business they must spend millions on this crap.

Prime example i had address on my old round it was house converted to 8 flats yet every month or so virgin would send letters to this house for flats 1-12 every time i would send them back no such address and write on envelope flats 1-8 yet they still kept on coming year after year.

The worst offenders that come through my door are pizza hut, sky, everest, aa and 02. Guaranteed a least once a month. When I was a postman, sky, farm foods, virgin(or telewest as it was beforehand) pizzas and able and cole a organic company.

Absolutely no question who the worst offender is... Virgin media!!!

They are totally relentless with their mail shots. Grrr

I noticed that the ones i got this week have not got their logo in the bottom right hand corner of the letter. So they ARE OBVIOUSLY AWARE THAT THEIR CRAP IS NOT WANTED ON A WEEKLY BASIS.

Also is it just me or are they also the worst for stuff like addressing their crap to a previous occupant,addressing it to 2/L when the occupier lives at G/R and just making up addresses that don't exist.

I'm now of the opinion that I just don't care anymore, send all the crap in and I'll deliver it without looking at it, all I care about is not working over my hours.
