How to stop junk mail royal mail

The pesky junk mail! Here are some steps to help you reduce or stop receiving junk mail from Royal Mail:

1. Register with the Mailing Preference Service (MPS): The MPS is a free service that helps reduce unwanted mail. You can register online or by phone (0345 070 7070). They'll remove your name from mailing lists and reduce the amount of junk mail you receive.

2. Contact Royal Mail's Preference Service: Royal Mail has its own preference service, which allows you to opt-out of receiving unsolicited mail. You can contact them by phone (0345 070 7070) or online.

3. Use the Royal Mail's 'No Junk Mail' sticker: You can request a 'No Junk Mail' sticker from Royal Mail, which you can stick on your mailbox or letterbox. This will help postal workers know not to deliver unsolicited mail.

4. Check your Royal Mail's 'Your Mail' website: Royal Mail has a website where you can check and manage your mail preferences. You can opt-out of receiving certain types of mail, such as catalogs, credit offers, or charity appeals.

5. Contact individual companies: If you're receiving junk mail from a specific company, you can contact them directly to opt-out of their mailing list. Look for a contact email or phone number on the mail piece.

6. Use online opt-out services: Some companies, like the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), offer online opt-out services. You can visit their website and register to stop receiving mail from participating companies.

7. Consider using a mail-blocking service: Services like MailGuard or No Junk Mail offer additional protection against unwanted mail. These services can block specific types of mail or companies from sending you mail.

8. Report junk mail to Royal Mail: If you're still receiving junk mail despite taking the above steps, you can report it to Royal Mail. They'll investigate and take action to reduce the amount of junk mail you receive.

Remember, it may take some time to see a reduction in junk mail, as companies may still have your information on their mailing lists. However, by following these steps, you can significantly reduce the amount of unwanted mail you receive.
