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

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. 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.
  2. The form requires your name, address, and a statement indicating that you do not want to receive unsolicited mail.

Other Options

  1. 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.
  2. Check with your local post office or USPS customer service to see if they have any additional options for stopping junk mail.
  3. 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

  1. Be patient, as it may take some time for the changes to take effect.
  2. Keep in mind that while these steps can help reduce junk mail, they may not eliminate it entirely.
  3. Consider using a paper shredder to dispose of unwanted mail to prevent identity theft.
  4. 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.
