This is an epidemic in my community. At least twice a month I walk over to my neighbors and deliver their mail left in my mailbox. They do the same to me. We’ve complained to the local post office, but they’re dealing with staffing issues and can’t guarantee anything.

I feel it’s a major invasion of privacy. I don’t want to know stuff about my neighbors like who they bank with, have student loans with or which doctors they go to. They also find out those things about me. But not much we can do about it.



Assuming your country follows the path of Denmark (I think the western country with the least post per person) the situation will resolve itself: you'll stop getting letters for anything.

I receive about 6 letters a year, though the average was 33 per person last year.
