There are lot more very useful Junk Mail services out there to help you stop the catalogs coming to your personal home mailbox. A service such as www.stopthejunkmail.com, 41pounds or greendimes will work for you if you are persistent and stop every catalog that comes to your USPS mail box.
Stopping catalogs isn’t something that happens over night, most direct mail companies will send their catalogs to a bulk mailer up to 3 months in advance of a delivery date. Even if you contact a catalog direct mailer and ask to be removed from their mailing list they will automatically tell you that you may receive 3-4 additional catalogs.
or as Neiman Marcus says”
> We will make every effort to comply with your

> the removal is complete.”
The second part of the puzzle is to look at the address label carefully each time you stop the catalogs. Your name may appear on the catalog mailing list 3 or 4 times and each time it is spelled differently or has a unique account number. Each of these need to be removed from the list.
A third possibility is that your name was on a rented list. In this case your name will only be added to their private catalog mail preference list if you actually order merchandise.

What happened to ADVO? Well they got taken over by Valassis last year.
You can still go to www.advo.com/consumersupport.html to opt out of ADVO flyers. It will take 5-6 weeks to become effective.
You can also call Valassis’ Consumer Assistance line toll free at 888-241-6760 (8:30am-5:00pm EST) or print this form and mail it in.

Now is the time to get to work to stop those unwanted Holiday catalogs from coming. You already have the “Back to School” Catalogs I am sure and then it’ll be the Fall issues trying to sell you Halloween and thanksgiving items.
It’s the big push for catalog companies bulk mailing for the busy season. Why now? Well most of these companies are already setting up printing for their holiday issues, planning and photo shoots are under way. Catalog companies don’t do their own mailing, they leave it to bulk mailers so they ship in bulk to the middle man and give them the dates for delivery way in advance.
Start making inroads now before it’s too late.
