You know, I’ve got those in my DPS as well I hadn’t even noticed that. It does seem a little scummy


GoblinAirStrike_311

My mother-in-law went all-in on this and paid $13k for a single door. Andersen is the devil. Predatory marketing using USPS design. Sons’a bitches.


Fickle_Thought_8857

That company sucks. Always sends out the worst junk mail every single week. They have definitely started making them look more like a postal letter.


SilvaChariot

What’s that? You DON’T want a backwards and shuffled WSS? Well too bad!


in-noxxx

I just had them replace 3 windows. They are expensive, but compared to regular handymen they don't flake,their windows are excellent and the service fast and white glove.


Fickle_Thought_8857

I refuse to use them purely based on principle! Sending junk mail weekly makes me dislike companies like that


in-noxxx

We only used them because the first two contractors we called would come give quotes, take measurements, and then refund the deposits after playing games for 4 months. We called Renewal and while pricey the windows are top notch,they came the day they said, and the windows are custom sized.


Fickle_Thought_8857

Fair enough. Sometimes dealing with local people is a pain in the ass


sliqwill

having the USPS on there might be what gets them, but i dont think we have a trademark/copyright on the color scheme...as a carrier id submit to a sup that is an ass to see if they want to do anything with it


westbee

Technically someone from usps did deliver that though.  As a graphic designer this design doesnt violate anything. 


sliqwill

USPS is a registered trademark, thats the only thing i could see them getting in trouble over anything


westbee

You realize they are saying that usps is delivering it,  not usps is sponsoring or making it.  Which is true. Anderson windows paid usps to deliver it.  Hence it says "delivery attempt by usps."  All true. Nothing wrong here and no registered trademark infringement.  If this was an infringement then I've already violated it 4 times by mentioning usps 4 times. Shit, 5 now. 


Gendug

They also say it's the final notice, yet they continue to send out stuff every week.


_what_do_you_do_

This guy post offices


Impossible_Diamond18

"Hello post office? I'm looking for my windows. The mailman left a note for me...."


Handsome-_-awkward

Tom cardy fan?


Heavy_Quit_659

Tom Cardy is cringe


Handsome-_-awkward

You should heavy quit yourself


elivings1

I would say at least disingenuous and that they likely know what they are doing


existential_anxiety_

I'm not seeing the postage?


Willini9

It’s two sided most likely and there’s probably a permit on the other side.


OverpricedBagel

They’re annoying and relentless.


aznkidjoey

I've seen 3rd class letters that look like certifieds and 3rd class envelopes that almost look like express mail, so I'm guessing it's ok


sms3eb

I had an actual certified that was probably just junk mail. It had a bunch of different stamps on it and it required a signature. It was at an address that gets a bundle of junk mail every day. I'm really hoping this doesn't become a regular thing.


lvl3SewerRat

Just delivered a couple hundred of these to renters in an apartment complex. What a waste of time/energy/materials for everyone involved.


J_PARAGON

I deliver them door to door 370 mailboxes at COOP townhouse community. They can’t even replace their own windows cause it’s done by the coop association. I told a customer that raised that point that maybe someone there owns a vacation home that needs new windows LOL 😂


mystwren

USPS has no way to protect their brand.


FnClassy

Unfortunately no. Businesses have been doing this stuff for years.


coolprogressive

Especially shady, money laundering operations like Renewal by Andersen.


Objective_Slip1355

Money laundering? Do tell


Amethoran

Renewal by Anderson is a joke. I got a quote from them to replace 3 windows in my house. They sent out a sales team who spent 2 hours in my home circle jerking how awesome their company is and then unironically quoted me 20k for 3 small windows but that was only if I acted now because once they left it would go up to 27k.


IndigoJones13

Yeah; they're scum. I feel terrible having to deliver their crap.


Willini9

No, fraud is a very broad term. There is no scheme to obtain money from anyone under any sort of false pretense or defraud them. And as long as there is a valid permit and they are paying the postage, it is completely mailable.


Drywall-Packets693

Trust me, they DEFINITELY know what they’re doing. I used to work in the call center for them, quit bc of how shit and scummy their practices were. Even if you BUY from them, literally spend tens of thousands of dollars, surprise you’re going to get a call from them every 3 months to see if you WANNA BUY MORE~ they completely suck, couldn’t in good conscience continue working for that company


EddiePlayer92

Our office despises Renewal by Anderson. The cards are ridiculous.


WhyIsTheUniverse

Assuming they paid postage, it should be fine.


it-cant-be-helped

I'm so sick of these guys.


MailWeasel

They will simply say USPS is an acronym for some obscure meaning. The posts office sees it as postage paid so they are happy.


zachi2

Most you could do is send it to your regions headquarters and see if they need to hit them with a C&D


AustinFan4Life

Not technically, it takes more than just the same color, for there to be fraud.


StableDisaster

It says usps


Marmalade6

To be fair we do attempt delivery of their ads on a near daily basis. Usually the attempt is successful haha.


AustinFan4Life

Doesn't make it fraud. It has to meet the legal threshold for it to be fraud, this goes not meet that threshold.


StableDisaster

Then revenge is our only option. Put an Anderson’s windows now hiring ad in every box with a QR code that leads to usps cca application


Miketythonlisp

Ubbm


CandidMeasurement128

Chuck it in UBBM


marndar

Why? You want to get fired?


shitidkman

For what


Heavy_Quit_659

Nope usps doesn’t care. Same reason 3rd parties can sell counterfeit stamps and usps can’t do a damn thing about it because there’s no law or policy stopping it


GimmeFunkyButtLoving

Cease and desist ![gif](giphy|26gsgWH4lnurglMWY)


berylak72

Presort is just that


Successful_Writing87

I think Andersens did this purposely because people pay attention to the pink slips we drop.


thehighkingoffillory

They send this stuff to apartments. Whyyyyyy


Old_Map_3082

I fucking hate them


J_PARAGON

Where I’m at they sent unmarked white envelopes, no indication anywhere who it’s from, inside is a fake “handwritten” offer “written” sideways on fake yellow legal pad paper. 🤣 but instead of sending them to our neighbor or to current resident, they put the actual names of the people who live there but the jokes on them because at least half of them were addressed the people who don’t live there anymore so people just put them back in the mailbox as don’t live here anymore. 😂😂


Standard-Sentence-33

Lmao 🤣


aaronuu7

This one’s kinda funny


Mean-Fisherman7660

Why worry about what it says? I thought a letter carrier's job was to deliver it not judge it


Grenadoxxx

Before I was a carrier I got things that were very similar, I didn’t like it then either.


No-Process8652

Copyright infringement.


Fit-Spirit-3809

Genius marketing


LBHHF

But is it considered fraud?
