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 Ladies Meet Byrns' U.C.W. met at the homed of Mrs. Leslie Reid on Wednesday afternoon wllh 17 members and one visitor present.

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.
