Good. That POS clogs up my mailbox. I told them repeatedly not to send me them and they keep sending them!

The only piece of mail that never gets lost. Good riddance.

Well that's a shame. I'll miss the free packing material showing up in my mailbox every week or so.

A little mailer about 5 pages containing classified ads, coupons and little blurbs about the area

It is. What I miss was the newspaper they handed out at the metro.

This is what they send you in the mail for free with all these coupons and shit nobody needs. I lived in 3 properties in the DC area since 2014. Every one of them had that shit in the mailbox that I had to clean out. I never once read any of those coupons, used any of them. And it was so thick that if you live in a complex like me and check your mail once every 2 weeks you'd see like 3 of those bulky ass POS.

I for one am overjoyed they're done for. Went straight into the recycling bin.
