Junk Mail

[Canary42]

I object to junk mail at the best of times but surely during the pandemic such potential virus-carriers shouldn't be dumped on my doormat. It must surely rate as non-essential.

can't remember the last time i got junk mail in the post?

You can't believe that the PO are going to allocate folk to guess which is junk mail and which not, especially as they are paid to deliver not filter.
Anyway, very low risk handling paper.

I have had hardly any junk mail for weeks.

Here is the official stance although now over two weeks old.

//Changes to Door to door mailings
We will deliver unaddressed door to door advertising mailings to customers who are receiving addressed letters or parcels at the same time, wherever practically possible.

Door to door mailings provide a very valuable service to small businesses and companies of all kinds as they seek to provide their goods and services. Many small businesses need that support now more than ever. They want to send it, many consumers want to receive it. Door to door mailings also include important communications from local government. //
