Btw I do buy charity Christmas cards etc., but do not want them foisted upon me.
A quick note here, don’t buy charity cards from any shops other than charity shops, if you do part of he money goes to the retailer whereas with high street charities all of the money is sent to the names charity.

We would get these in the past can’t remember what we did. Would send them back but does this mean you have to pay postage?
If you have to pay look if this charity has an email and tell them you don’t want their items and also don’t want to pay postage but the charity are welcome to pick up their stuff.

Has anyone else recently received these mailings?

Today we received a set of 5 Christmas cards plus a tiny calendar 📅, for a fee of £12 :00
with a letter & various payment options .

This is cold calling by mail in my mind from a charity’Mouth & Foot Painting. Artists’
You can pay by DD or return !!

The questions that come to mind are 5 cards plus a tiny calendar 📅 is not worth £12:00
So , do you send back or do you keep them but not pay ??
While I appreciate the fact that a lot of effort plus talent has gone into these the fact is I didn’t request them .
Also , how many people are literally either not going to open the envelope or not pay .
A waste of money is my thoughts , I’m sure GNetters will have lots to say on this .
The other question is ‘WHY’ would a charity send these out ?
The cost of printing , Posting plus the £12:00 is in my pov ludicrous!

What’s the feeling of others ?
