This applies to all countries, but please state where you are from to avoid confusion.

With the amount of junk mail people get weekly, I was curious if there are ways you can block, remove or filter the actual mail from ever getting to your mailbox.

    You say all countries, but it’s obvious that this is country specific. So here’s my tip: move to Canada, the postal service has a duty to respect “no junk mail sings”“no junk mail” signs.

      Yup, you can put a red dot in your mailbox as an indicator that you don’t want any unaddressed mail. You will still get anything with your address on it and political party mail (they have to deliver those) but it cuts out the best majority of crap.

        I guess in that sense that is the tip for Canada.

        And yeah it’s great. I know a number of Americans who were quite surprised, and pleased. Yeah the post is somewhat more expensive overall, but you have a choice not to get flooded with spam which is totally worth it.
