How do i stop receiving catalogs in the mail

The never-ending battle against unwanted catalogs! Here are some steps to help you stop receiving catalogs in the mail:

  1. Contact the catalog company directly: Look for a "Remove from mailing list" or "Unsubscribe" option on the catalog's website or on the catalog itself. You can also call their customer service number to request to be removed from their mailing list.
  2. Use the USPS "Do Not Mail" service: The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a "Do Not Mail" service that allows you to request that catalogs and other unwanted mail not be sent to your address. You can sign up online or by calling 1-800-275-8777.
  3. Opt out of catalogs through the Direct Marketing Association (DMA): The DMA is a trade association that represents the direct marketing industry. You can register your name and address on their website to opt out of receiving catalogs and other unwanted mail.
  4. Use a catalog removal service: There are several services that can help you remove your name and address from catalog mailing lists. Some popular options include:
    • Catalog Choice: A free service that allows you to opt out of receiving catalogs from over 3,000 companies.
    • 41pounds.org: A UK-based service that helps you stop receiving unwanted mail, including catalogs.
    • DMAchoice: A paid service that allows you to opt out of receiving catalogs and other unwanted mail.
  5. Check with your local post office: Your local post office may have a "Do Not Mail" list that you can add your name and address to. This can help reduce the amount of unwanted mail you receive.
  6. Consider a mail-blocking service: Services like Mr. Mail Blocker or MailGuard can help block unwanted mail, including catalogs, from reaching your mailbox.

Remember to be patient, as it may take some time for the catalog companies to update their mailing lists and stop sending you catalogs.
