It gets used in the Callers Office.......when customers don't collect their items.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet

Some customers continually return stuff with "unsolicited junk mail" scrawled across the envelope.
It doesn't make any difference. It would appear it is cheaper to continue sending the stuff than pay someone to update a database.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I was thinking of sticking one of these on the DOM's chair in the office but I can't get in there for all the arselickers and sycophants. 
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!

I use 'NOT CALLED FOR' for Deceased customers. It seems the most appropriate. I also write deceased on the mail or sticker itself.

I had six letters today that said "DOES NOT LIVE HERE - HE'S DEAD." I wrote them off as 'addressee gone away'. Because he has.

Re: when would "NOT CALLED FOR" be chosen as a suitable opti
I vaguely remember there being a "deceased" option on stickers.
Wasn't it removed because it was sometimes used erroneously causing consternation to all parties involved.
Or is my mind playing tricks on me again?

Yep I too remember the 'deceased' option on the stickers. Don't know why it was removed though.clashcityrocker wrote:I vaguely remember there being a "deceased" option on stickers.

Re: when would "NOT CALLED FOR" be chosen as a suitable opti
It only matters when the letter/packet is going back to an actual person, those big mailing houses who send out all the 'junk mail' don't even read the stickers, as Postmn said, it's too much work for them to read and then remove the name from the mailing list.
And it costs too much to buy a new one from RM
