Clothes Charity Leaflets

niall.boland

Are people tired of getting these leaflets in the door. At the moment I get at least 2 a week delivered between 05:30 and 06:30. Most of the time I am woken up as they make such a racket at the letter box. Does any one else have the same issue with being woken up. I have tried ringing and email the contacts on the leaflets but there has been no response.

I have no problem receiving the leaflets but why so early in the morning. Is there anything legally that can done besides closing up the letterbox at night?

They are all cons. The numbers are false.

Sh1t in the bag then put a funk load of clothes in it. Be sure to put it at someone elses door though. Maybe an annoying neighbour.

That'll learn em.

You know what, I hardly ever received these things when I lived on the Northside. Maybe one a month or two months.But bloody hell, now I'm on the other side of town, I get one (if not two) every week. It is beyond the joke now. Don't they realise that people get these bags every week? We wouldn't have a stitch left to wear at this rate!! :cool:

Seriously - Penneys are practically giving clothes away at their current prices, can they not go and do a charity shopping spree in there from the money left over from chugging?

Well they're hardly going to ask the beneficiaries to contribute as much now are they?
By the way, hows life now your on the sunny side of the river?

The obvious answer is to set a trap. Then feed the offender to the pigs.

Well. Whaddyagoddado. The other idea was to take note of their collection date, then tie a rope around a refuse sack of clothes and leave it just outside the door. When they go to pick up the bag, pull the bastard in the door and give him a hiding.

Nelson laugh optional.

And they expect you to wash the clothes as well, ffs!

admiralofthefleet

have spicy indian every night for a few days then do a duty on top of the crap clothes you put in the bag they leave in the porch, they will get a nice surprise when they open it to look for the 'clothes'

rannerap

just put your rubbish in the bag with a few old t shirts on top,lovely way to keoe the cost of your bing tags down:)

My name is URL

Who cares if they're cons.

People want to make old clothes disappear and the men in vans make that happen

Paparazzo

The ones where I used to live were from travellers. Instead of knocking on your door looking for clothes like in the old days, they have this new system.
So expect anything they don't want to be dumped in the nearest ditch

Is that where the clothes go???

You could ring up the companies doing it and ask them not to deliver any more leaflets to your address.

If you people don't give them your old clothes I go to work naked.

So please, for the sake of everyone else in my work place, PLEASE DONATE CLOTHES.

Thanking you.

There was an investigation done (prime time I think). 80% of them (or atleast the vast majority) are hoaxes. And that's fairly true. We don't stop gettin them. Some of them have misspelt words on them.

Yeah but in fairness you'd think a serious charity appeal would spell critical countries right. I mean, Zimbobwe? Fúck's sake.

Thought that was the idea.

Oh right!

Put 3 blocks in them for no apparent reason whatsoever. For those who have no blocks handy, pick ones at a spot that people will not notice them missing.

They usually take the clothes to a place in eastern europe and sell them to poor people. Yes you read right they 'SELL' them to people who can't afford clothes. It is a shame as they are not a charity and are making genuine charities work more difficult.

What you can do is put a note behind your hall door window saying 'NO JUNK MAIL' hopefully that may help

MrMatisse

Stroll down to your local halting site and ask to speak to their leader/chief/king and outline your concerns to him. Im sure hed be very understanding.

Everyone knows idiots dont read...

Plus i heard before that they sell the clothes on to the rag trade for a decent profit each time they offload.

blossom180

Thanks guys for all the humerous suggestions. I just googled letter box locks and you can lock your letter box from the inside. Navan Lock and Key do in Navan. I might give them a ring and see what they say. Will update

that won't work.

OP you need to record and study the pattern of their visits. When you figure out when they show up, be ready at the letterbox with a crossbow
