Harrington & Bryne fancy envelopes

[chrisdobb]

How do I stop this company blasting me with their silly embossed envelopes advertising what I am about.

I have marked my account with them to send me no post, I have emailed them to not send any more but still they come.

What is the matter with this company, do they have a death wish, this is no way to operate a company.

Aye it's a pain in the neck isn't it.

There are several threads complaining about this, a solicitors 'Cease & Desist' letter seems to be about the only thing that works, short of petrol bombing the office.

Write to them with a 'signed for' letter asking them to stop.  In your letter state that you give them 30 days to comply and that any further communications with them will be a breach of GDPR and you will report them to the ICO (Information Commissioner Office).  That usually gets their attention.

If they do write again, report them to the ICO who will investigate why they do not comply with data law.

If they are sending you free post envelopes, you can simply wrap up a brick with your message inside, stick the envelope and drop off at your post office.

They have to pay the postage and will get the message quickly.  I did this in the mid 2000’s with a Timeshare company.   Remember to photocopy the free post envelope so you can send plenty of bricks!

Note: Its not permitted to send human waste through the post, and given that many of us use SD as a delivery lifeline not fair on the poor posties if there was to be a spillage!

I've also heard you can also stuff the free post envelopes with all the annoying take away menus that come through your door, and post them,

2 birds, one envelope

They really are quite a “machine” when it comes to direct mail. It makes me most grateful to not get this from established dealers!

Just contact them and change your address contact details to 

PO BOX 500

Pontyclun 

CF72 8BR

problem sorted

I'm in the same boat, with lots of envelopes arriving with over priced promotions etc.  Wish I'd paid an extra £20 quid and gone elsewhere!

Can you post a copy of the stuff they are trying to flog would be interesting to see, cheers

Maybe I'll try sending a note back to them with the freepost envelope provided

Just use the envelope everytime, think of the cost they will have to incur, and if you can make the envelope over 5mm thick they get charged even more as a large letter!

I will have to look thru' my recycle box!😄

As you are so interested, why not PM me your email address for me to pass on to H&B?! 

Anyway just found the last promo, just up your street perhaps. Its a quarter sovereign with a colour pic of 'Queenie' from Ascension Island, the British Overseas Territory  (Actually run by the Americans!) I was there 4 years ago, but didn't see any gold coins, just a few turtles! - Only £149!  Go on, you know you want one. 😂
