DO NOT KNOCK CAMPAIGN AND STICKER

Are you sick of salespeople door knocking your home?


Consumer Action Australia has released a “Do Not Knock” sticker, which warns sales representatives that they are in breach of the law if they knock on a door to which the sticker is affixed.

A PDF version of the sticker (obviously for you to print - hence non-sticky - is available from their site (see link below) - alternatively you can send a stamped, self addressed envelope to CONSUMER ACTION LAW CENTRE STICKER Level 7, 459 Lt Collins St, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000 should you want a proper 'sticky sticker' mailed to you.

If you have a 'Do Not Knock' sticker clearly displayed in front of your house, and a salesperson subsequently knocks on your door, you can then complain about their conduct and the site even gives you 2 letter templates – one designed for the company of the sales representative and one designed for the relevant regulator or complaints handling body.
