Most of us receive mail we
do pot want -- such as adver-
tising leaflets, magazine sub-
scriPtion forms and record or
book club offers. Sending this
kind of mail is a Perfectly leg-
itimate way of -doing business,
and it is strictly up to us whet-
her we want to read it or not.
But what do you do if you re-
ceive a credit card you never
,asked for, a C.O.D. parcel you
never ordered, or.ra package of
Christmas cards you did not
request? Here are some busin-
ess mailing practices which you
should know about:
Record and book clubs
The commo complaint here is
gett records or hooks that
were not wanted. In the case
of those advertising a free trial
or free offer, the first ship
ment contains a message say-
ing, in effect, "If you don't
want more, send a card saying
so ... if your would like more,
do nothing". Often the re-
cipient does not read or under-
stand these conditions and fails
to return the card. In some
'cases, when the consumer has
cancelled his membership, the
record or book club fails to
' stop sending merchandise usually
due to clerical errors. In other
.„ cases, pranksters have sent in
coupons and orders in another
, person's name.
DECEASED PERSONS- A
particularly objectionable prac-
tice is that of sending merchan-
dise by C.O.D. to persons woo
recently died. A survivor
the household often accepts
the goods believing they were
actually ordered by the deceased
before death. It is ,against the
law to send any article by C.
,
0.D4 which has not been. ordered
or requested.
CHARITY MAILINGS - Items
such as Christmas and Easter
.seals, key tag services, etc.
are sent to households unsolic-
ited with a request for a donation
in some cased, or a definite sum
in others. This is a generally
accepted method of raising funds
for- charitable purposes, and
therefore results in few. com-
plaints. .
CLIP AND PASTE - This
scheme involves sending a
business firm ,a document which
looks like a bill or an invoice
but which is actually a solicit-
ation or • an advertisement for
the operator's service. These
documents earl, be mistaken for
""‘ The post,,,,Office now requires
that any invoice-type document

must clearly indicate it is a so-
licitation, that it is not a bill,
and that payment is not required
unless •the offer is accepted.
CREDIT CARDS - There is
nothing illegal abouth sending un-
solicited credit cards through
the mall. But you should note
an important condition that al-
most invariably accompanies
each card in words such as these;
The card holder named
xi agrees to pay for all
purchases made by any person
using this card until the com-
pany has received written notice
of its lass or theft".
It is entirely up to you to decide
if. you should keep the card. If
you do not want it, then destroy
it so that no one else can use it.
Keep in mind your ability to
meet monthly payments if you
use the card. In some cases a
credit card may be stolen be-
fore it reaches you. You will be
billed if someone else uses it.If
so, notify the company immediat-
ely.
GREETING CARDS - P ka.gps
of cards are mailed to the hofne
and the recipient is, requested to
mail his payment to the firm.
Often -the request for payment
subtly hints that it will benefit
handicapped persons, In this
case, however, the Post Office
now requires that a notice be in=
eluded with the- shipment stating
that you do not have to pay
the return postage and in fact,
you are under no lega' obligation
either to purchase the cards or
return them. Other unsolicited
goods reported range from re-
ligious music sent to churches,to
miniature cameras sent to names
chosen from local telephone di-
rectories.
'The Canada , Post Office
Department does not .have legal
authority to interfere with ordin-
ary-business carried out by mail.
Certain mailings, however, are
considered offences under the
Criminal Code. These include,
- for example, mailing anything
that is obscene, indecent or im-
moral; information regarding
- book-Malting--betting or ' wag-
ering; false or fraudulent adver-
tising; any article concerning
schemes to deceive or defraud
the public, or to obtain money
under false pretences. The Post
Office investigates all complaints
dealing with illegal or object-
ionable usd _of. the mails, and
has the authority to discootinue
mailing privileges where there
is evidence of illegal use.
From the individual con-
sumer's point of view, the Post
Office Act states that once an
article is posted it becomes the
property of the addressed. How-
ever, ANY INDIVIDUAL HAS THE
PRIVILEGE OF REFUSING
MAIL. Just mark it "refused",
sign it, and return it to the
Post Office where it will be dis-
posed of in accordance with post-
al regulations. It is entirely
up to the consumer to decide
• whether lie should keep or re-
turn unsolicited material. In your
own best interest, however, it
would •be -wisest in most eases to
return the material to the Post
Office.
The following important points
should be kept in mind:
- Read all offers direfully.
- Understand the c'Onditions
of acceptance of any un-. ,
solicited-proposition.
- You are not required to
pay for unordered merchan-
dise.
- It is against the law to send
unordered merchandise by
C.O.D.
- Check all invoices carefully.
- If you do not wish to re-
tain unsolicited material
mark it "Refused" and re-
turn it to the Post Office,
- Report any suspected misuse
' of the malls to the Pus;
Office Department; Ottawa.
