how much junk mail do you think you get on an average in your regular mail box or post office box?

The amount of junk mail I get is ridiculous!! It seems like once you get on one list, you get 25+. Emails just from that one vendor! And although I am always removing myself, I still seem to get at LEAST 150 spam emails daily!!

I've heard of people mailing back blank credit card applications (or even write over it VOID) so that the company has to pay for the postage both ways without actually getting a new customer. Not sure if this type of statement has any effect, however...

I at times sent junk mail back in the mail. I just make sure my name and address is not on it. Hey they have to pay for the return mail. might just as well help the post office out. they are broke.

I get tons of junk mail since I am signed up for several free sample sites.  I don't mind it though.  I get so much free stuff that it is worth sorting through the junk, and it helps keep the post office alive.

We get about 15-20 junk pieces of mail a week at our house. Most of them are from cable tv companies.

Look man, they need to put a ban on junk mails, because they are cutting down the trees for all this junk, or maybe somebody needs to start a business and begin to pay us for all this junk mails.

In my regular mail that comes to my house is all that bad.  Now junk mail in my email accounts is rediculas and that doesn't include the spam email junk forlder.  There isn't much we can do about it but I try to use a program for viruses.

We are getting a lot of junk mail. But lately a lot is from colleges trying to get the 18 year old to go to them. She already has her mind set on one three all here in the state to save us some money. I wonder if all of these flyers are going to continue through the rest of this year and next, Her senior year.

I would have to say that 40percent of my mail is junk. I normally get on average 5 pieces of mail a day and 2 of them are junk. Sometimes the whole daily delivery is all junk!!!

Sometimes, I get junk mail.  It's okay if its something fun to read.  However, in this technological society, I can see where [paper junk mail does not really have a place because it is a waste of time. I still accept "junk mail, either paper or through my emails.  Junk emails are often deleted and I usually unsubscribe to them.
