Stop junk mail from usps
The frustration of receiving unwanted junk mail! Here are some steps to help you stop junk mail from the United States Postal Service (USPS):
National Do Not Mail List
- Register your name and address on the National Do Not Mail List (NDNML) website: www.donotmail.org. This is a free service that allows you to opt-out of receiving unsolicited mail.
- You can also register by calling the National Do Not Mail List at 1-888-5-OPT-OUT (1-888-567-8688).
USPS Opt-Out Form
- Fill out the USPS Opt-Out Form (PS Form 3587) and mail it to the address listed on the form. You can also download the form from the USPS website: www.usps.com/optimail.
- The form requires your name, address, and a statement indicating that you do not want to receive unsolicited mail.
Other Options
- Contact the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) Mail Preference Service: www.dmaconsumers.org. For a fee, they will remove your name and address from their list of consumers who do not want to receive unsolicited mail.
- Check with your local post office or USPS customer service to see if they have any additional options for stopping junk mail.
- Consider using a mail-blocking service, such as 41pounds.org or Catalog Choice, which can help you opt-out of receiving catalogs and other unwanted mail.
Tips
- Be patient, as it may take some time for the changes to take effect.
- Keep in mind that while these steps can help reduce junk mail, they may not eliminate it entirely.
- Consider using a paper shredder to dispose of unwanted mail to prevent identity theft.
- If you're receiving mail from a specific company or organization, you can contact them directly to request that they remove your name from their mailing list.
Remember, it's always a good idea to review your mail regularly to ensure that you're not receiving any unwanted or suspicious mail.
