Putting a Stop to junk mail is harder than ever before, and it shows every sign of increasing even further.<o:p><br /></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">It's hard stopping junk mail from an industry in the <st1:country-region><st1:place>UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> that is estimated to be worth some £17 billion per year, employing around 800,000 people and generating £63 billion worth of sales. No wonder that big companies don’t want you to stop junk mail! Stopping junk mail that weighs a staggering 63,000 tons a year is hard.

That’s 12.1% higher than in 2004. This year looks set to be worse yet.

In August 2006, Royal Mail abandoned those guidelines, and will now deliver as much junk as it gets paid for – unless you demand that they stop junk mail.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Postwatch, the national watchdog for postal services, recognises the level of public concern at junk and is putting pressure on Royal Mail to make the opting out process easier, clearer, and more comprehensive.<o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">However there is an amazing new guide to stopping junk mail that will help you <a href="http://www.preventjunkmail.co.uk"><span style="font-weight: bold;">stop junk mail</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3757107374901817963-2515995348881279071?l=highschoolranter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>GeeCeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15588221738588254953noreply@blogger.com
