How to stop.your mail

You're looking to stop receiving mail from a particular sender or altogether! Here are some steps to help you achieve that:

Stop receiving mail from a specific sender:

  1. Contact the sender directly: Reach out to the sender and ask them to remove your name and address from their mailing list. You can do this by sending an email or letter to their customer service department.
  2. Use the USPS "Do Not Mail" list: The United States Postal Service (USPS) has a "Do Not Mail" list that allows you to request that mailers not send you mail. You can submit your request online or by mail.
  3. Use a mail-blocking service: Services like MailBlocker or Unroll.me can help you block unwanted mail from specific senders.

Stop receiving junk mail and catalogs:

  1. Register with the Direct Marketing Association (DMA): The DMA is a trade association that represents the direct marketing industry. You can register with them to opt-out of receiving mail from their member companies.
  2. Use the National Do Not Mail List: This is a free online service that allows you to opt-out of receiving mail from participating mailers.
  3. Contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC): The FTC has a website where you can report unwanted mail and request that it be stopped.

Stop receiving mail altogether (temporarily or permanently):

  1. Hold mail: If you're going out of town or need to stop receiving mail temporarily, you can request that your mail be held at your local post office.
  2. Suspend delivery: You can suspend delivery of your mail for a specific period or permanently by contacting your local post office.
  3. Change your address: If you're moving, you can update your address with the USPS and have your mail forwarded to your new location.

Remember to always verify the authenticity of any requests or services you use to stop receiving mail, as some may be scams.
