How to stop Door-to-door sales
If you remembered, i made a thread about one company was kept looking for Mrs Portman which wasn't exist, about 3 weeks ago they called again and i said that Mrs Portman is dead so til now there's no call again, and hoping that they'll never call back again!
This time my problem is door-to-door sales.......
My body is so knackered, PJ's on, (no bra) about to go to bed then suddenly, door bell rings, when I open the door
I really desperately stop them from calling us... Any idea how to stop them? thinking of buying a signs or warning to stick on our door..
Not an expert, I only try to help.

I think LadyJ in PJ's(no bra) is deterent enough,O always tell them my property,I pay the mortgage,I didnt invite you to ring my bell,or phone me in the privacy of my own home then I close the door or replace the phone receiver,always works for me,I am never rude but I dont take But....But....But from them either
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

You could cover your body in that TCP stuff, and then tell them you are a trainspotter or maybe...
Ok maybe that's not a good idea!
I live in a luxury apartment, I mean a smelly 1st floor flat, when people ring my doorbell I just stick my head out the window and say "Not interested mate!"
In any property you could just stick your head out the window and say "No thanks!" you don't have to deal with them face to face then and they will waste little of your time.

what annoys me the most is they always ring the bell when I have my PJ's on without bra.... then I have to grab my bra and put it on run to my door and its only just door sales.

Put a sign on the door saying *"NO COLD CALLERS HERE"* - I think you can even get a sticker saying *that* as I've seen them on many houses in our area.
And you can add there "trespassers will be shot"

Did your eyes went wide open when you read 'no bra'?
I wish I could say that to them but Im sometimes Im too soft.
That's a good idea! will defo do that next time! because our master bed window is just above front door.
Good idea too but not the 'shy' thing.... will tell them 'not interested'
Signs or warnings are my first options so defo will get one
erm..no
Its not good idea not to open the door if someone is calling, what happen if it's important?
Where can I buy one of those signs? really love to have oneNot an expert, I only try to help.

Get a sign from your local council and post it in the window / front door saying no cold calling. Failing that rig the door bell to the mains. 240v should put them off!!!
It's been emontional

Invite them in, sit them down and make them tell you every single-specific-point of why you should be with them. Then refuse to sign anything but ask them to go over it at a later time with you..
Then when they get sick of you wasting their time, they'll soon stop!

6th August 2009 #17My body is so knackered, PJ's on, (no bra
Next time put on an old sheepskin coat, remove your dentures and welcome them with a nice wide Filipino smile..
They probably wont bother you again.

I see a lot of hand written signs on doors saying things like:
WE DON'T NEED, NEW WINDOWS, BUILDING WORK, LIFE INSURANCE, RELIGIOUS CONVERSTION, BETTERWARE, FREE NEWS PAPERS OR TAKEAWAY FLYERS.
I think you can get signs from the local council or buy one from those garden centres that have a cafe lol, although you could just print one from your pc.Mark, Cristina & Raffy

Trading standards - 'How to set up a no cold calling zone' - http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/g...%20Calling.pdf
Webpage for Surrey Trading standards offering stickers etc to stop cold calling - http://www.surreycc.gov.uk/sccwebsit...s?opendocument
My suggestion - if its an annoyance you want to stop for yourself - email your local trading standards people and ask for a sticker or two. If you're REALLY keen you could even get a bunch of them and then go around door to door handing out the stickers

Just put on a rubber glove, grab a tube of something medical looking, and when you open the door just say; "I'm glad you are here, I'm having problems getting my hemorrhoid cream inside the hole, can you help?"

Alternatively, just remove your front door then they can't knock on it.
