Wasteful Mailer Watch, a HUGE SUCCESS!

           

I would like to thank all of the Mail Centers that participated in our wasteful mail watch campaign for a recent mailing of a certain, “BIG BOOK”.  A big book that comes in a white box with red lettering, but I won’t name names or divulge details for privacy’s sake.  But, I will say, all of your feedback was awesome!  Now we have concrete evidence that a significant percentage of this mailers campaign was not received by their intended recipients.  For a sample of some of the feedback about this mailing please read below!

 

Mail Center Feedback 

 

 

We received this mailing today and of the boxes that were sent to us, twenty boxes were returned to sender for insufficient addresses.

Do you guys handle _____ catalogs?  We just received tons of catalogs with the wrong address or to individuals who are no longer here.  They do have Return Service Requested on them, but I just wanted to check with you first. 

I just went through what my morning supervisor sorted.  95% of catalogs had 1125 lincoln dr MC 6511 on 2 of the 24 actually went there.  Returned 8 more to people we never heard of.  If it comes like this again, we are going to recycle them. returned 30

Improper addressing, returned entire skid

Under staffed and refuse to look up address’ recycled 46 out of 74. They are now in recycling. We require Box numbers for any mail delivered to us.

People no longer there returned 6 of 25.  Returned them.

Returned 50% 11 out of 22

They find it easier to deliver than to return, all books were improperly addressed promised to return any other books that come in.

They are so used to delivering crappy mail they went ahead and delivered all.   3 ppl were not there. Any other books that come with improper address will be returned.

we received 122 of the this publication of this total 114 were w/o POB address 8 had POB addresses. Returned 114.

122 were good 9 were bad

returned 6 with “bad” address’

7 were mailed to people no longer there

Uncertain of the frequency of the mailing. Nonetheless, it\’s a pain in the ass to sort due to insufficient address information.
