local dry cleaner delivery - so annoyed

[Minnie824]

so, some dry cleaner called 1800 dry cleaners dropped off a dry cleaning bag on every house on our block today - maybe even the whole neighborhood...not sure. Theres a note on it that says 'if you dont plan to ever use our service, return the bag on your front door on mon'. I don't know why this bothers me so much, but its really annoying! They're going to inconvenience potential customers to return their bag we didn't want that they dropped off at our house. Is that even legal? I mean, I'm really tempted to throw their bag in the garbage. Do they have any right to drop something off on our property then expect it back? I don't want their dumb bag laying around my house all weekend. (Ok, I know that sounds childish, but I don't care. Its annoying). I called their number and of course all you get is a recording. Its on my porch now. I hope its windy rainy and it blows away.

I would return the bag, with a note saying that you won't use them since you think it's tacky them handing the bags out without you requesting one and then asking for it back if you're not using their service.

No, they can't require you to hold on to (or return) their bag.

If it were me, I'd put it up for sale on Ebay. So many people ask me how I got my bag, how can they get one. They seem to be in short supply!

Kidding, of course. I'd return it.

Have a good weekend and here's wishing for wind!

yeah, that would annoy the heck out of me too. I like the idea of putting a note on it, so they know what an annoyance it is and they lost a potential customer.

Oh no! Pick up and deliver dry cleaning is almost as good as Tivo! Leave the bag out on Tuesday full of dirty clothes - get them back on Thursday cleaned and pressed. Right to my front porch! It's like magic!

That's a magical bag you have there - be thankful!
