Looking to drastically reduce the amount of postal mail you receive? While there's no single unsubscribe or "do not mail" list, you can tackle a large portion of your unwanted mail by filling out these forms.
Have every address you receive mail at handy — current home, previous addresses, and any name variations mailers use. Each one is usually a separate entry on these lists.
-
Clear the big lists
The five forms below cover the brokers and cooperatives that resell your address to thousands of mailers.
-
Opt out brand by brand
Work through the opt-out form directory for the senders still writing to you.
-
Send deletion requests
For brands without an opt-out form, use a privacy portal to request deletion.
