Amazon junk mail

The bane of many an online shopper's existence: Amazon junk mail!

Amazon, like many other online retailers, uses targeted marketing to promote their products and services to customers. This can sometimes result in a flood of promotional emails, catalogs, and other mailings that may not be of interest to you.

Here are some reasons why you might be receiving Amazon junk mail:

  1. You've made a purchase: If you've bought something from Amazon, you may start receiving promotional emails and catalogs from them.
  2. You've signed up for their newsletter: If you've opted-in to receive Amazon's newsletter, you'll likely receive regular updates on new products, sales, and promotions.
  3. You've used Amazon's services: If you've used Amazon's services like Prime, Fresh, or Alexa, you may receive targeted marketing emails and offers.
  4. You've browsed Amazon: If you've browsed Amazon's website or used their search function, you may be added to their marketing list.

To reduce the amount of Amazon junk mail you receive, you can try the following:

  1. Unsubscribe from their newsletter: If you no longer want to receive Amazon's newsletter, you can unsubscribe by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email.
  2. Update your email preferences: Go to your Amazon account settings and update your email preferences to opt-out of promotional emails or reduce the frequency of emails you receive.
  3. Use a filter: Set up a filter in your email client to automatically move Amazon emails to a separate folder or delete them.
  4. Report spam: If you receive an email from Amazon that you didn't request, you can report it as spam to help Amazon improve their email marketing efforts.
  5. Use Amazon's "Manage Your Content and Devices" page: This page allows you to manage your Amazon content, devices, and marketing preferences. You can opt-out of promotional emails and adjust your marketing settings here.

Remember, it's always a good idea to review your email preferences and marketing settings regularly to ensure you're only receiving emails that are relevant and useful to you.
