How to stop getting mail from a company

The eternal quest to avoid unwanted mail! Here are some steps to help you stop getting mail from a company:

  1. Contact the company directly: Reach out to the company's customer service department via phone, email, or their website's contact form. Let them know that you no longer want to receive their mailings and ask to be removed from their mailing list.
  2. Opt-out online: Many companies provide an opt-out option on their website or in their email newsletters. Look for a link that says "Unsubscribe" or "Opt-out" and click on it.
  3. 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 a specific company stop sending you mail. You can submit a request online or by mail.
  4. File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC): If you're receiving unsolicited mail from a company that's violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) or the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act, you can file a complaint with the FTC.
  5. Use a mail-blocking service: Services like 41pounds.co.uk or MailBlocker can help block unwanted mail from reaching your mailbox.
  6. Contact your local post office: If you're receiving mail from a company that's not responding to your opt-out requests, you can contact your local post office and ask them to help you stop the mailings.

Some additional tips:

Remember to always be cautious when providing personal information to companies, and never respond to unsolicited mail or emails that ask for your personal information.
