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
- Register your name and address on the National Do Not Mail List (NDML) by visiting the USPS website: www.usps.com/stopmail.
- Fill out the online form with your name, address, and any additional information you'd like to provide (e.g., phone number, email).
- Click "Submit" to register your request.
Opt-out from specific mailers
- Check the mailer's website or contact their customer service to opt-out of receiving mail from them.
- Look for a "Remove from List" or "Opt-out" link on the mailer's website or in their email newsletters.
- Contact the mailer directly by phone or email to request to be removed from their mailing list.
Request removal from specific lists
- Contact the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) to request removal from their mailing lists: www.dmaconsumers.org.
- Fill out the online form with your name, address, and any additional information you'd like to provide.
- Click "Submit" to request removal from the DMA's mailing lists.
Other tips to reduce junk mail
- Use a mail filter: Consider using a mail filter, like the USPS's "Opt-Out" filter, to automatically remove unwanted mail from your mailbox.
- Use a PO box: If you receive a lot of junk mail, consider using a PO box instead of your home address.
- 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.
- 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.
