Worst Postal Junk Mail?

I get something from Orvis, Johnston Murphy and Viking river cruises about once a week
They are catalogs not just simple post cards

Everyone seems to want to sell me insurance or financial services. I guess that's the cross you bear for having a high credit score.

Viking must send these to every US resident with a heartbeat.

We constantly get these, and have never done anything to suggest we'd want to go on a cruise.

At my office we get the same junk crap addressed to 10 like different people. Total waste of paper and money. We used to get about 4 huge catalogs from Uline...again addressed to different people here. I got sick of them so I finally called and told them we don't need a huge catalog, let alone 4.

I have a bunch of random llcs, a few years ago I started getting these giant like 2000 page office equipment junk catalogs addressed to all of them. Took up half my recycling bin. Don’t understand how these companies don’t check addresses to consolidate down the mailings they pay for.

Otherwise just the standard flyers one drives me crazy for some reason

It's hard to believe that advertisers still use postal junk mail.

What's the dumbest, most wasteful USPS junk mail that you're seeing in your mailbox?

Obviously you are not old enough to have had the pleasure of filing for Medicare at age 65. Then searching for Plans B and C coverage to supplement the basic health care.

The amount of snail mail and e-mail is unbelievable.

Oh, and your phone number will get out there, so be prepared for multiple calls a day from those looking to sell you Plans B and C.

I went through this 5 years ago and I got tons of snail mail for at least the first 2 years, along with e-mails and cold calls until if finally tailed off a bit.

Now, 5 years into Medicare and I still get stuff, but a lot less for supplemental plans.

Arby's coupons got me through college.
