That’s actually a large boulder; it’s just the size of a small boulder.
We won’t ever know unless they included a fresh banana for size.
All spam should be responded to in kind.
WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE
When I was in college my roommates and I would open all those offers standing at the mailbox, seal the empty envelopes back up, then put then right back in the mailbox for the carrier to grab the next day (or maybe mail thieves, who knows). We figured just mailing them all back was going to cost something.
When I was first out of college I used to get 8-10 of pre-payed envelopes every week. I kept a PO box for my mail that I would check weekly.
I would have maybe 1 or two pieces of real mail and a full box of junk.
So I started folding up the junk mail I to the 8-10 prepared envelopes every week. This was all done at the counter next to my PO box and dropped mailed back right then.
It was quite cathartic.
I did the same, wrote in the letter for them to suck my balls… They called me back lol
Well… Did they suck your balls?
Unfortunately no
We can do that?
Do I just take it to the post office?
No, this is fake. You can put whatever you want in the envelope and send it back, but they won’t deliver a whole package. They only prepaid postage for a letter.
Of course if you send something dangerous/threatening you might get arrested.
I’ma print out a goatse and mail it to them.
You’d just be traumatizing some low level data entry employee.
If you work for the empire, you gonna see some shit
People don’t take those jobs as a choice.
USPS is using slave labor?!
Credit card companies are. USPS doesn’t have data entry people who would open the package.
Even better, print some anti-empire propaganda.
Give the low-level employee some ideas to quit giving their life to the empire.
Pro-union literature
That is a Fight Club level idea. Radicalize the data entry workers.
It wouldn’t surprise me if one slipped through, there are overrides on stuff that get rejected and USPS is a massive organization with millions of parcels moving at any given moment.
This idea came from people mailing wooden shims back to the credit card companies because it would increase the postage cost over the normal weight… Please don’t do that though. Letters go through a Dr. Seuss Esque sorter system and the shims are too sturdy and sometimes get ripped out of the mail and shot across the facility…
This … feels like you are telling me to go for it.
Feel free to stuff as much paper as you can fit, it’s just wood, plastics and the like that are too rigid for the machines to handle sometimes. USPS gets money for return mailing, so it’s a benfit to them as long as shims or pieces of plastic arent flying around the facility like a bullet.
I fart in the envelopes then they are like ‘yay someone wants our credit card OH NO ITS FARTS!’
I know/hope this is a joke but people used to do this at an independent, third party, mail sorting place I worked at as a teenager.
They’d mail all sorts of shit (both literal and figurative) and it was basically handled by one guy who seemed ok with it but was definitely not ok.
Mail them lead, weights, whatever. But please, no matter how despicable the company, there’s likely some at very least mildly abused worker who is just trying to earn a wage and has to deal with the vile shit people try to punish companies with.
This. Your mail isn’t going to be opened by the CEO. Hurt the business, not the worker. Mail them a box of rocks or something, the company will pay postage on it and the minimum wage guy opening packages will laugh.
Wouldn’t a lead weight cost you more than it costs them? Lead is reasonably expensive.
Ok, rocks or whatever junk you have laying around.
IF you’re going to do this, make sure use some sort of sealed package (like the box in the photo). You used to be able to slap these things on like a sheet of plywood and just send it as is but now if the package isn’t sealed and is obvious misuse the post office can just throw it in the dumpster. If its a sealed package then the post office has to deliver it and the permit holder has to pay the charges. https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2019/pb22525/html/updt_001.htm
Like 70lbs of neutronium in a USPS flat rate box?
Friendly reminder.
Make sure that you use a box with no identifying information. Scribbling out the barcodes isnt enough.
Mailing restrictions still apply. Mailing them back rotting fish or potentially hazardous materials is a federal offence.
Mailing any kind of threat is also against the law.
Doesn’t help when you use a return postage slip. They have unique codes. Being “just annoying” is probably the safest bet.
This wouldn’t work, anyway. They only prepay envelope postage, not a box.
You can fit a lot of glitter in a envelope.
You’d just be annoying some data entry employee.
If you’re concerned about your anonymity, keep in mind that companies frequently put ID numbers on their return envelopes to help match the returned mail piece with your record in their database. Sometimes the number is invisible (UV ink) so it doesn’t look “mass produced” to the recipient.
I just put another company’s junk mail in their envelope and send it to them so they know how it feels.
Huh. I should try this with the old refrigerator in my basement that I’ve been needing to get rid of.
If it wasn’t shitty towards the post office people I would support it.
But under 10 lbs…
Now you have to cut up your refrigerator into 10lbs pieces
