Stopping junk mail usps

The frustration of receiving unwanted junk mail! Here are some steps to help you stop receiving 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 (NDML) by visiting the USPS website: www.usps.com/stopmail.
  2. Fill out the online form with your name, address, and any additional information you'd like to provide (e.g., phone number, email).
  3. Click "Submit" to register your request.

Opt-out from specific mailers

  1. Check the mailer's website or contact their customer service to opt-out of receiving mail from them.
  2. Look for a "Remove from List" or "Opt-out" link on the mailer's website or in their email newsletters.
  3. Contact the mailer directly by phone or email to request to be removed from their mailing list.

Request removal from specific lists

  1. Contact the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) to request removal from their mailing lists: www.dmaconsumers.org.
  2. Fill out the online form with your name, address, and any additional information you'd like to provide.
  3. Click "Submit" to request removal from the DMA's mailing lists.

Other tips to reduce junk mail

  1. Use a mail filter: Consider using a mail filter, like the USPS's "Opt-Out" filter, to automatically remove unwanted mail from your mailbox.
  2. Use a PO box: If you receive a lot of junk mail, consider using a PO box instead of your home address.
  3. Be cautious with online forms: When filling out online forms, be careful not to inadvertently sign up for newsletters or promotional emails that may lead to junk mail.
  4. Report junk mail: If you receive mail that is clearly unsolicited or contains misleading information, report it to the USPS's Consumer Affairs office: www.usps.com/help/ consumer-affairs.htm.

Remember that while these steps can help reduce junk mail, they may not eliminate it entirely. Some mailers may not honor your opt-out requests, and you may still receive some unwanted mail.
