240503 2004-05-30 23:28:00 How do we get it through to DELL that we do NOT want their damn Spam direct marketing brochures in our mailbox at NZ Post ?!!!

I have emailed them at mail_suppressions@dell.com far too many times now and yet they simply seem to ignore these rather obvious requests.

Does anyone have any ideas of a scheme to get back at such hardcopy SPAMMERS as Dell ?

240504 2004-05-31 04:25:00 Are the circulars actually addressed to you, or just "circulars"?

"Householder" type mail isn't done with a list of names and addresses. ;-) So Dell can't know that you are a target. :-( All they do is order a drop in a certain area, PO tells them how many copies to supply, and they go to the posties.

If you have a PO Box, I [i]think[/b] there used to be an option that you could have a "No Circulars" sticker put in the PO side of the box, and that would give you relief from the deluge. Ask at the office where your box is. The staff there will know.

240505 2004-05-31 05:05:00 They are addressed personally. Any correspondence with Dell seems to have resulted in a separate copy. Funny, years ago, while I was a customer there was no follow up. I have also tried at least 3 times to stop this mail. PaulD (232)

You're no the only one :(

They will have to pay the postage to receive your re-spam.

240511 2004-05-31 10:44:00 The company will get a note in their mail, saying that a short-paid item is available on payment of the deficient postage, if they don't have a free post address. So they will have to take a trip to the post office, present the note, pay the postage and receive your letter.

240512 2004-05-31 23:56:00 Unfortunately it is all individually addressed !

It is such a huge waste of time and effort and they have now destroyed any chance whatsoever of our even contemplating doing any busines with them, EVER !

There were another two again today - they all have a code number on them which suggests that they have a monthly program to spew out copious quantities of such SPAM and to utterly ignore the rightful properly advised requests of the adressee .

The sheer quantity and repetitiveness is overwhelmingly intrusive !

This SPAM is Direct Mailing of the WORST kind and utterly disgusts me !
