floydbloke: I know for the most part everyone hates junk mail but do spare a thought for the thousands of teenagers who are able to earn some money this way, and at the same time learn some work ethic at a young age. And certainly in my son's case they get instructed to adhere to 'no junk mail' signs in accordance with Lias' post above.
They get paid pretty poorly, as they are contractors not employees, and it's nowhere near minimum wage if you translate it into hours effort.

Especially since John Key did away with the tax exemption for kids earning less than $9,800 a year. So they're even being taxed on it!
tardtasticx:ilovemusic: lucky you.
for over a year the delivery people have been too lazy to deliver the free community papers in my area.
I don't think its laziness. More likely just uneconomical.
When I done it like 7 years ago atleast, I got paid $12 a week to deliver to over 200 homes 3 times a week. How it's legal, I don't know. But I can guarantee they wouldn't get paid much more after all this time either.
richms: the name of the paper is the north shore times advertiser, so its clearly advertising material

It hasn't been called that for years.
andrewNZ: And I intend to make it stop, I may resort to bailing up the delivery person if I can't find a formal avenue.
Rant over.
Now, what are my options around opting out, and what are their obligations around respecting that.
Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?
floydbloke: This letterbox belongs to an advertising agency. Verging on double-standards in my view.

Not all ad agencies produce mailers. Could be a TV ad agency.
