Get off junk mail list

The never-ending battle against junk mail! Here are some steps to help you get off junk mail lists:

National Do Not Mail List (NDNML)

  1. Register your name and address on the National Do Not Mail List (NDNML) website: www.donotmail.org.
  2. Fill out the online form with your name, address, and email address (if you want to receive email notifications).
  3. Click "Submit" to register.

Direct Marketing Association (DMA) Mail Preference Service

  1. Visit the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) website: www.dmaconsumers.org.
  2. Click on "Opt-Out" and then "Mail Preference Service."
  3. Fill out the online form with your name and address.
  4. Pay a one-time fee of $2 to be added to the DMA's Mail Preference Service list.

Other Options

  1. Contact the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) Consumer Assistance Center: 1-212-768-7277 or [email protected].
  2. Reach out to individual companies that send you junk mail and ask to be removed from their mailing lists.
  3. Consider using a mail-blocking service like 41pounds.co.uk (UK only) or Catalog Choice (US only).

Additional Tips

  1. Be patient, as it may take some time for your name to be removed from junk mail lists.
  2. Keep in mind that some companies may still send you mail even after you've registered on the NDNML or DMA Mail Preference Service.
  3. Consider using a PO box or mail forwarding service to reduce the amount of junk mail you receive.
  4. Report junk mail to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at www.ftc.gov if it's fraudulent or contains misleading information.

Remember, while these steps can help reduce the amount of junk mail you receive, they may not eliminate it entirely.
