Good idea.

We do similar, but its just the enclosed envelope we send back, sans-stamp. So they need to pay an extra fee to get it.

I always send back the post paid envelopes. I just mix up the stuff that comes with them. It takes about 5 minutes per day and I find it therapeutic.

I did this years ago.

I got a political-type piece of junk mail that I did not agree with so I filled a small box with gravel from the yard. Must have weighed about 5lbs.

The web site associated with your hobby is some of the funniest reading ever.

I always send back the envelopes stuffed with whatever I can fit in them (usually equally-unwanted flyers and leaflets I get through my door), but I never knew you could attach them to a box of bricks!

Yes, 419 is where I got the idea from.

Good reading indeed.

I've often placed them back in the mailbox, but never thought of sending weighty packages.
