    What the hell is going on here. I'm always very careful about not giving out my real address whenever I can avoid it and I always (un)tick the boxes such that I don't receive any spammy crap. Is there any way I can find out where these w$nkers got my address?

    Surely there's a return address of some sort on the package?

    I received one via Tesco. Used it once, found it rubbish.

    You sure you didn't sign up for it through the freebie list here? I got one from that.

    I know spam can be annoying but your going on like its a Horses head that got delivered.

    Maybe one of your mates signed you up cause they thought it was a good deal....?

    Sorry, but getting something free doesn't make it acceptable. I get free paper through my door every day, and I'd like to kick the head off the people responsible.

    Oh FFS! It's quite obvious YOU gave them your address at some stage, could have been months ago. Stop f*cking whining!!!

    Do you have sign in your door asking people not to put stuff like that in your letterbox?

    I did as a matter of fact, a few years ago. Black on yellow, NO JUNK MAIL. I took it down again, because people ignored it. As far as I'm aware, the postie - the prime culprit these days - is actually told to ignore them. Junk mail marketing is An Post's bread and butter these days.

    No I definitely didn't because as I stated in the OP, I'm very careful about that.

    As a matter of interest, what % of people do you think they expect to send back the evaluation form they sent with it?
