This is particularly annoying when the advertising pours out of the mailbox and thus betrays your absence. But many people are also annoyed by the superfluous brochures that flutter into their homes day after day. However, one is not powerless, but can defend oneself against it.

Currently, such stickers are distributed free of charge by, for example, geizkragen.De issued. If one has affixed one of these stickers, there should theoretically be peace, since advertising distributors and also the post office must adhere to it.
