I don't ask for this Junk to be posted to me but seeing as they include the envelope for the reply or order they are hoping to get I was wondering if it was against the law to simply out a sticker with a different address on the front and use it to send my own mail? I know most of them are stamped "Response Licence No," and then they have a code but I have no idea what this means. Would be grateful for some help!

Attach the prepaid envelope to something heavy like a brick or something and send it back. The company have to pay for the postage. They wont send you any more.

Yes, it is a violation to use for personal use. What you can do is to take all the junk mail from other places and stuff it into the pre-paid envelopes and send it all back to them. That's what I do. Just make sure your name and address is not on any of the stuff you send back.

Yes. It is very illegal.
The company that sent you the prepaid item
pays the USPS a fee for being able to use
the prepaid envelopes. In addition, they have
to pay the postage as it is mailed back to them.
The USPS scans them and it is deducted from
their account. So it would be theft and mail fraud.
Do like the others said.....stuff their envelopes
with other junk mail. The heavier the envelope,
the more postage they have to pay.

Junk Mail Sucks! I tried to convince my local post office to stop with the junk mail already, most of it is addressed to resident, they said there is nothing they can do. So what I do is save all the crap and bundle it all together in a bag and when the bag gets full I drop it off at the post office before or after hours, right in the fricking doorway. I have not heard from then and I have no idea what happens to all the bags of junk mail I drop off there but out of sight out of mind.

Don't think so. I do it all the time & save pennies & help towards the environment. Don't think it can be a problem if you cover over the name. I cross out any bar codes or reference numbers & pop it in the post. Never had a problem in all the years (10) I've been doing it. Do remember to stick postage on though!!

My method of dealing with junk mail of this kind is to save it all up, collect the prepaid envelopes and post it all back to the bast*rds.

I don't know if it's legal, but why not send them back empty, and make the damn company pay!!
I hate junk mail.

Just keep it all and then post it back to them in the pre-paid envelope.
