So, instead, I will post a picture of what your floor will look like if you are gone for 18 days....
Yes, that is our mail. I had to step over it and gather it up before bringing in the luggage. It measured 13" high all stacked up!
The crazy thing is that there were only 8 pieces of actual 'good' mail: two letters from SKAT (the tax man), an anniversary card, a thank you card, Dansk bank letting Chuck know what I purchased (a plane ticket to Beijing), and 3 issues of the Copenhagen Post.
Just go to your local postoffice and sign up for no advertisment and free newspapers. Then you will get a small sticker to put on your letterbox and the postman wont put any of this spam mail in your box anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe stickers look like this:

the round blue one is if you still want free newpapaers but no advertisment.
The square orange one is if you don't want free newpapers or advertisement.
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it won't work in our situation. But, maybe another expat will benefit from the comment.

ReplyDeleteYep. That's the standard welcome home I get too. What's more I've chucked out a few important letters I've not seen in the mess of junk mail. What I can't understand is how you have to get a special sticker from the post office saying 'no junk mail'. Why can't you just put one on yourself???
ReplyDeleteHA! I should take a picture of my mail box at the end of my driveway. I have a hard time getting the mail... because it's ALL THE WAY at the end of the driveway and I never get anything good anyways.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I'll go a week without checking it and I think it's hilarious how much they can STUFF it full. It's totally overflowing and I watch from my couch as they SHOVE more in. :) I should post a video. :) HA!!
