I never went so far as to put a wooden shim in the return envelope,
but for a while I routinely wrote "NO THANKS :)" on their offer
materials (so they wouldn't take my response as a positive reply to
their offer) and sent it back to them. I figured that since they
went out of their way to send me their offer, I should send a polite
response back to let them know that I'm not interested.<br>
<br>
This was a couple of years ago. Just so that you know, they often
put little alphanumeric codes on their materials and sometimes
return envelopes that are unique for each person so that they know
who sent it when this happens. Since it was a response to their
heartfelt offer, I decided not to obscure who I was by redacting
that information. <br>
<br>
I've also heard of people going so far as to tape the return
envelope to a heavy box (containing something cheap like garbage or
bricks) and sending it to them. Allegedly that works, but I haven't
tried it myself.<br>
