Their instruction to send the junk mail by Media Mail, is, IMO, illegal. Media Mail can only be used for books that do not contain advertising; it can't be used for magazines, as they contain advertising. Junk mail is, by its very nature, advertising.

not so good, thanks for your input. to be honest i do not think it would be something I would be interested in (seems like too much work for the money, but to be honest though i am pretty much desperate). but i did not think of that aspect.. i sold books back to websites using media mail and i know it's slow but did not know magazines could not be sent that way.

I asked my mail person and they said media mail was intended for books, tapes, videos and BUNDLES of documents, magazines etc.

Is this for real? It seems like a scam to me. Who would want other people's junk mail? Besides, a lot of that stuff has a scary amount of personal info like your address and phone numbers. I wouldn't want to spread that info around to even more companies, but that's just me.

i would be interested in that considering i have a TON of junk mail every week but it does seem like a lot of work for 5.00 a month. its easier to just burn it in our outdoor furnace. but if they uped the price to maybe 10 i would consider it for sure!

I received my first check back at the end of July, I forgot to send the envelope for 2 weeks after my last post. It took about 2 weeks to receive the payment, but like a dummy I can't remember how much the media mail postage cost me. The check was $10.15 so either the postage was $5.15, or they paid more than $5.00.
As long as I don't take an extra trip to the post office, to me the $5.00 for a couple of minutes effort is $5.00 further towards paying my bills off, so its worth it IMO. I'll be sending my next envelope this weekend, I have just been sticking all of my junk mail in one spot for a while so it will be easy to fish through and put the grouping together. I want to make sure to pick lighter things this time, I think I put too many heavy things which pushed the postage cost up quite high. I'll keep better track of when I mail, what the postage cost was, and whent he check arrives for you all. __________________
