We get most of our online shopping stuff via post here. The postmen now a days are seen with a lot of parcels and packets with them instead of envelopes.
I still get final notices several times a month for: home warranties, car warranties, travel insurance (I don’t even travel more than 2 miles from home these days), people wanting to by (or sell for me) my house which is not for sale. etc.
Dear Old Dad was a mail carrier (1968-1985). He once told me that a letter dated 1971 which he found in 1982 still had to be delivered. It was a notice from a high school that someone’s child had been truant. Said child by then was in law school!
We get plenty of magazines, including ones no one subscribes to. My wife is a dentist, so publishers figure she’ll want to consider them for the waiting area.
I refused to accept paperless statements for my credit cards, to give the post office some business. Then Discover offered me $50 to sign up. And a couple of the others are starting to charge a “statement fee” of $2.
For some goofy reason Vanity Fair decided to start sending us their magazine for a year. Whenever it was delivered, and I opened the mailbox, the scent “bomb” would explode in my face and just about knock me off my feet!

I used to joke with my mailman if it is Wednesday it must be the Renewal By Anderson flyer.

I think that junk mail is all that’s keeping the postal service afloat nowadays.

Our mailman comes around twice a day now. Once with the mail and once for packages. (Thanks Jerry!)
