If there is a screen and its unlocked open it and close it on the flyer. If its locked roll the flyer and stick it somewhere on the screen. If there is no screen fold the flyer in half take a corner wedge it in between the door and frame scooting it down. If none of the above works that's when I knock on the door.

Technically it is illigal to tape, wedge, or put the flyer anywhere on the mailbox but most don't care as long as you don't open the mailbox

Nothing technical about it, it is illegal, and fines can be hefty if they want to be nasty.

I'm glad to be in Canada for that. I dont see the danger in this practice.

I understand what you are saying and as for myself it doesn't bother me. Here in the US the mail is federal government and some people can be very nasty just to be that way. I have two words I call these people one starts with a A and the other starts with a H if you know that I mean. You have the same type of people in Canada I am sure.

Ohh yea I understand you. I live in Canada and I sometimes go to the US for some vacations. It is just so different here. I don't want to get in a cultural fight here. I am here to help others in any way I can and get help if I can (full of great people on this forum).

We do have some psycho people in Canada also.

It's not the danger, it's just the fact that people get carried away with things and it interferes with the mail service. People pay for the privileged of using the boxes and people who stuff them full of free flyers for advertisements don't.

Here is a 16 year old person wanting to work hard to make some money. I see a outstanding person that will get somewhere in life and I sure hope him the best of luck with finding customers :thumbsup: His parents should be proud and if it was my child I would be helping him.

There's nothing wrong with a 16 yr old kid trying to make some money but breaking the law to do it isn't the right way to do it. His parents should be teaching him the right way to do it not teaching him to break the law. If he wants to use the mail boxes to distribute his flyers let him buy stamps and get them delivered like everyone else.

Agree 100%. Never was my intent that he should be using mail boxes or anyone else should do so. My mail box has junk mail in it every day and if a flyer did show up it just all goes in the trash and it wouldn't brother me one way or the other. I don't even look at most of it. I guess the junk mail keeps the postal service going. Other then my Netflix I just don't send out mail anymore and a book of stamps last me forever. I do find that USPS has the best service when it come to packages.

All right Ric. I don't want to start a fight. It's New Year...
I would love to say that Post Canada sucks. They have "lost" blinds. Yes, two very long boxes of blinds. I would love to know how they lost them. They also lost a t-shirt I sent back to a company. That is just a few of the many horror stories from Canada post.
I enjoy USPS while I am in FL and the cheap shipping rates.
I am done thread jackin'. Happy New Years to all!
I hope the OP has a few customers by now.
