Yesterday I received a massive catalog in the mail at the house. The thing is, I have been receiving these for two decades. Once, 20 years ago, my company bought some rug protectors, and I\u2019m still getting the inch-and-a-half catalogs. First, they went to the company, then to the post office box, and now to the house. Over the years, I\u2019ve called the sales department and the corporate communications department, I\u2019ve posted on their social media, and still the catalogs come. Each and every time I had an employee call or I did it myself in the last six years, the answer was the same, \u201cIt just takes a while.\u201d But 20 years? So this morning, I got up and wrote a letter to the company @Uline president. It\u2019s a multi-billion-dollar family business. I pointed out my problem and my concern about such wasted resources. The trees. The postage. I suggested that it cannot be good for their bottom line to continue to send these massive catalogs to companies that haven\u2019t purchased anything in 10 years or more or companies that have closed. I asked him to have the Environmental PR Group removed and suggested he have the mailing lists scrubbed for the good of his company. I plan to send it by registered mail before the end of the week. Many years ago, I had a new underwire bra that broke through. So I packed it up and sent it to the President of Vanity Fair, suggesting that a $35 bra should last more than a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He called me and then sent me a new one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
