I'd take them back to the Take Away and tell them to stop.

Answer 2

wait by the door till one comes through then jump out and say "BOO! works for me

Answer 3

get rid of your letterbox? lol

Answer 4

you won`t stop them, get 2 letter boxes and write leaflets on 1 and mail on the other and attach a carrier bag to the leaflet 1, when it`s full bin it

Answer 5

you obviously cannot stop them, as you already have a notice asking them to NOT put them in your letterbox, but its still happening.

Answer 6

bite them.

Answer 7

More likely than not, it may be the same company or service that is delivering these leaflets to your door. Most companies are too busy to actually deliver leaflets and handbills themselves, so they hire independent companies who do nothing but distribute fliers and leaflets. If you can find out which company that is, you could contact them directly and request to be taken off their contact list.

If that doesn't work, you should try to contact the merchant or business that is being advertised. Ask them who they hire to distribute their leaflets.

I know how annoying it can be to receive unwanted solicitations. Good luck.

A bear trap works for me.. I now have 4 legs in my freezer..

Answer 9

Put a no soliciting sign up. If they still keep coming call the company up and tell them you are willing to persue with a law suit. Where ever you like you can ask about the law because they very from state to state. What a sign does is serve as notice that the person is unwelcome, and therefore considered a trespasser should anything happen. Without the sign, the legal status is less clearly defined, and that can open the homeowner to some civil liability issues. And "No Trespassing" is clearer and less ambiguous than "No Soliciting". If there's a community sign that says no tresspassing or soliciting, then you're best to avoid that area. As you may not get in trouble for flyering, but they can get you with trespassing.

Answer 10

set up a "Home Alone"-esk booby trap. You know when someone touches the door a torch goes off and burn their head hten as they step back have them step on tar with nails in. As they are hoping around  on one foot in a pool of some sort of oil have a boot attached to some sort of hydrolic push kick them in their *** as they fall down your steps. Oh and if you get a change have chicken feathers in some sort of bag that blow over the person as they walk out so they look like a stupid chicken. That way they'll not justquit botheringyou but then but your neighbors aswell.

Peace out homie

Answer 11

make the sign stand out more,

and if they keep coming through im not sure

Answer 12

Do a fine design of  a police carrying a gun and paste another notice:

"NO LEAFLETS - POLICE  WATCHING

AVOID  ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE"

Accidental discharge will scare them off!

Answer 13

save it all up and then when you have a good stock pile, wait for one coming to your door, open the door and hand him a big pile of s**t and ask them how they like it.

then kick em in the nads.

Answer 14

nail a piece of wood on the back of the letter box that should stop them

Answer 15

Answer 16

Answer 17
