Hi all

 

Was wondering if anyone know where we can get the "No Soliciting" signage locally? Looking for a small signage, approx 15cm in width.

 

I've visited the local Bunnings, Mitre10 and local chinese dollar stores. But with all the various signages available, this particular one does not appear to exist. Surprisingly, there are so many various "No Junk Mail" signage.

 

Checking online, it seems its available on Aliexpress, but not for the size I like. Temu, their minimum spend of $40 seem bit too high for me at the moment.

 

As yes, Im aware many dont respect the sign. But at least its up there, and for those who will respect it, at least it will save a little bit of their time.

 

 

 

Thank you!

As far as I know “No Soliciting” is more of an American thing. Don’t see them in NZ much.

Just searched on EBay and there are plenty of stickers/signs. Just sort by price+shipping

We use these. Simply printed and laminated them.

The people you want to deter with a "no soliciting" sign are unlikely to understand the meaning or intent.

The NZ versions have wording similar to this:

You will find more results using some of those keywords

FYI if you message the chat bot it will give the option to remove the minimum spend

Generally legal, unless there is local bylaw prohibiting, it's just called doing business.

Solicitors usually wear a suit and take money.

 

 

 

The Consumer sticker should be available at Resene paint shops.

I had a gang guy knock on the door collecting money for the local school... Yeah right.
