I had another unsolicited Kleeneze catalogue through my door today. Firstly don't get me wrong, I understand these people are only trying to make a living, but I am really opposed to their tactic of putting an unsolicited catalogue though your door and then constantly harassing you to give it back. The first few time this happened I played the game and left them on the doormat. Invariably the agent would not collect them when they said. I don't like them cluttering the door mat so I would take them back in. I work nights and more often than not the agent would come back when I am sleeping in the day and bang on the door waking me up. I have explained to the agents that I don't want then and they have said that they will cross me off the list. Normally a month or so later another catalogue arrives and I go through the same cycle. The agent's usual response is "sorry I am new and I didn't know you didn't want one". I have got so fed up with this cycle that now they go straight in the bin. Quite often the agents get upset or even aggressive over this ranting "I have paid for that catalogue, it is my property you have to give it back etc." I have little sympathy. I have a prominent, polite notice on my door asking cold callers not to call and I have told them countless times in the last 10 years or so that I don't want these catalogues. The annoying thing is that nowadays you can prevent unsolicited mail and phone calls by registering with the Mailing and Telephones preference services but there is little you can to stop these catalogues.

I feel this pain too. What do you have on your notice? I'ts one that BT supplied when they were trying to promote their "Privacy at home" service. It just says "Door To Door Sales - Please Don't Ring" with a big red no entry sign in the middle! It seems to have deterred everybody except Kleeneze and Betterware. Would you believe a different woman came round yesterday asking for her catalogue back. You know the catalogue that I instantly returned to the guy that delivered it last week with the strict instructions not to call again as I work nightshifts.

I have the same problem.
I have asked them to stop but the people that deliver them keep changing.
Don't they realise they are being exploited!

Another Kleeneze catalogue today. When questioned why she put one through my door despite the fact that I had told them 2 months ago I didn’t want them she said “sorry I am new” I am sure in another 2 months another ‘new’ agent will be along. She also said that my ‘polite notice’ didn’t’ apply to her as she was not a door to door sales person!

| Bleeding catalogues. Ours go in the bin as well when they come through the letter box. And when they come to collect, the agent is more considerate by posting a note through the door saying they came to collect it but it wasn't there. This note also goes in the bin. Brains

Nice on one Brains. I wonder what percentage of Kleeneze, Betterware catalogues end up in the bin. I once asked a Kleeneze agent why Kleeneze puts unsolicited catalogues through peoples doors and then DEMAND them back from uninterested people. Her answer was that "that's how we find our customers" To me these people are no better than spammers. Spam works in a similar way, you sent out millions of unsolicited messages knowing that a very small minority will take the bait. Unfortunately these few people that reply (or buy Kleeneze or Betterware products) make it worth doing. EVEN IF IT DOES INCONVENIENCE THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT SPAM (OR KLEENEZE OR BETTERWARE PRODUCTS)
