No, this is fake. You can put whatever you want in the envelope and send it back, but they won't deliver a whole package. They only prepaid postage for a letter.

Of course if you send something dangerous/threatening you might get arrested.

If you're concerned about your anonymity, keep in mind that companies frequently put ID numbers on their return envelopes to help match the returned mail piece with your record in their database. Sometimes the number is invisible (UV ink) so it doesn't look "mass produced" to the recipient.

Doesn't help when you use a return postage slip. They have unique codes. Being "just annoying" is probably the safest bet.

I know/hope this is a joke but people used to do this at an independent, third party, mail sorting place I worked at as a teenager.

They’d mail all sorts of shit (both literal and figurative) and it was basically handled by one guy who seemed ok with it but was definitely not ok.

Mail them lead, weights, whatever. But please, no matter how despicable the company, there’s likely some at very least mildly abused worker who is just trying to earn a wage and has to deal with the vile shit people try to punish companies with.

I read this as you wrote it: "its farts", like the envelope has farts, vs "it is farts". Both are technically correct, but seems so much funnier that way.

Basically the same thing they do when they send these things in unmarked envelopes.

Like 70lbs of neutronium in a USPS flat rate box?

Postal Employee: "May I help you?"

Kramer: "Yeah, I'd like to cancel my mail."

Postal Employee: "Certainly. How long would you like us to hold it?"

Kramer: "Oh, no, no. I don't think you get me. I want out, permanently."

That's an option?

For putting some crap in a box, taping on a flyer, and then lying on the internet?

You don't actually think this happened, do you? Why would the post office ship a heavy package for free just because a no postage needed flyer is stuck to it?

When I was first out of college I used to get 8-10 of pre-payed envelopes every week. I kept a PO box for my mail that I would check weekly.

I would have maybe 1 or two pieces of real mail and a full box of junk.

So I started folding up the junk mail I to the 8-10 prepared envelopes every week. This was all done at the counter next to my PO box and dropped mailed back right then.

It was quite cathartic.

I did the same, wrote in the letter for them to suck my balls... They called me back lol

This must've been a long time ago. Otherwise where would you find a phone book, let alone a thick one.

What can they do? Send you more junk mail?

If it wasn't shitty towards the post office people I would support it.

But under 10 lbs...

Glaciers take millions of years to deposit boulders across the land.

Humans: "we can do better."

Nah. That would piss off the mailroom employees, but they don't control who gets sent mail. The weight costing money does hurt the people who make the marketing decisions, though.
