How can I receive junk mail in my mailbox?

Retail stores, restaurants, car dealerships and just all businesses in general. How can I fill up my mailbox full of crap?

You’re trying to live up to your user name?

I would think that merely having a mailbox would be sufficient.

Failing that, subscribe to a magazine, or order something from a catalog.

My guess is that the OP is seeking strategies for annoying somebody else whose address he knows.

Wait, why would you want to?

I suspect this is true, and it isn’t something we want to encourage. I’m closing this. If the OP has another explanation, he can PM me and I’ll consider reopening it.

Since the OP has now sent me an explanation for his request, I am reopening this thread. However, I’m going to move it to IMHO.

Curious. What else might you do with lots of junk mail? Cheap TP? Housebreaking a puppy? Tinder for a huge bonfire? Building a house out of paper mache? Really bored and need light reading?

I suggest buying one cheap item from a wide variety of online stores-clothing, toys, pets, outdoor stuff, indoor stuff, random gadgets- and wait for the catalogs to start rolling in.

Register and insure a car and get a drivers license. I quit driving several years ago, and now my mail box is empty on most days, with only about 3 or 4 pieces of junk mail a week. Most of those don’t even have my name on them. I still have bank accounts, credit cards and utilities in my name, but get almost no junk mail at all.

Fun fact. My late wife died over 12 years ago and I still receive junk mai addressed to her. What’s even more amazing to me is that the junk mailers have managed to update her address to a place that I bought after she died!

Have you seen those people-finder websites that list “people you may be related to”? It shows my wife’s brother at an address I lived at five years before I met her.

There is another person with my surname living in my apartment complex. I am now receiving mail addressed to that person’s first name, but my apartment number. All of us receive a monthly catalog listing the specials at Leslie’s Pool Supplies.

The USPS, having no other useful function, now serves as an enabler to the junkmail/industrial complex:

I just read in a magazine (believe it or not!) last week that there’s some sort of services that pay you for telling them what sort of junk mail you receive. If I find that article again, I’ll update.
