People in the thread gave him at least three different workarounds to the "problem", but they all require some degree of effort or at least being moderately patient, but why do that when you can barrage the thread with 20 beautifully idiotic madposts instead? :gooninthewell:

I get my more expensive items delivered to the office so that I don't deal with this issue. But then again I don't buy from Apple, which saves me no end of trouble.

Subjunctive posted:Well it's obviously unethical as poo poo. No it is literally illegal for anyone OTHER than USPS to deliver items via the mailbox. quote:The U.S. Code for crimes and criminal procedure prohibits the placement of unstamped flyers in any mailbox. Title 18, section 1725 states that any person who knowingly deposits "mail-able matter" without postage in an established letter box shall be subject to a fine.

They stopped putting them in there now and just throw them in the driveway now. The "free" sample weekly they dump in my yard I mean. I've called and actually said stop throwing trash in my yard every Wednesday you assholes.
