What could be improved

Recognise 'no junk mail signs'

Finally, Stop Junk Mail argues that the whole process of contacting Royal Mail and then completing and returning a form is unnecessary. Opting out of receiving unaddressed mail can be made a hundred times easier than it is at present. All Royal Mail needs to do, is follow the example of one of its competitors, Dutch TNT Post.

In Holland, when you put a 'no junk mail' sign on your door, the postman will stop delivering door to door items with immediate effect. He will also mark your pigeon hole to make sure that no further unaddressed items are delivered to your house. It's quick, effective and customer friendly. It is also this system that Stop Junk Mail would like to see introduced in the UK.
