How to stop receiving catalogues in the mail

The never-ending stream of catalogues in the mail! Don't worry, I'm here to help you stop receiving them. Here are some steps to reduce or eliminate unwanted catalogues:

  1. Contact the catalogue company directly:
    • Look for a "Remove from mailing list" or "Do not mail" option on the catalogue.
    • Write to the company at the address listed on the catalogue, or contact their customer service department.
    • Provide your name, address, and catalogue number (if available).
  2. Use the USPS "Do Not Mail" service:
    • The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a "Do Not Mail" service, which allows you to request that your name be removed from mailing lists.
    • Fill out the form on the USPS website or contact your local post office.
  3. Opt-out online:
    • Many catalogue companies offer online opt-out options. Search for the company's website and look for a "Remove from mailing list" or "Opt-out" link.
    • Some popular online opt-out platforms include:
      • Catalog Choice (free service that helps you opt-out of unwanted catalogues)
      • DMAchoice (a service offered by the Direct Marketing Association)
  4. Register with the National Do Not Mail List:
    • The National Do Not Mail List is a free service that allows you to register your name and address to stop receiving unwanted mail.
    • You can register online or by phone (1-888-5-OPT-OUT).
  5. Contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC):
    • The FTC regulates mail and email marketing. You can file a complaint with the FTC if you're receiving unwanted catalogues.
    • Provide as much information as possible, including the catalogue company's name and address.
  6. Check with your local post office:
    • Your local post office may have a "Do Not Mail" list or be able to help you stop receiving unwanted catalogues.

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