Weight Reduction for the Mailbox

CatalogChoice.org is a great website. I submitted requests for five catalogs about three months ago, and they no longer appear in my mailbox - it works. Since then I've brought stacks of junk mail to my desk and logged on.

I still make use of any postage-paid envelope someone is dumb enough to include in their junk, but CatalogChoice makes that unnecessary.

The war may not be completely winable, but CatalogChoice.org makes it easier to fight.

Ditch those Unwanted Catalog Subscriptions Once and for All!

Free yourself from the daily chore of picking up, sorting through, and tossing out all those mail order catalogs you get in the mail. Ahhh, I feel lighter already. Here is how I use catalogchoice.org. When I sort through my mail I toss all catalogs I don't want (and don't ever want to see clogging my mailbox again) into a pile. Once a month I take a few mintues and jump onto catalogchoice.org to add the names of the unwanted catalogs I've recieved. That's it. They take it from there, sending my name and address to the companies telling them to take me off their mailing list. You can also enter the names of other people's catalogs who get sent to your address (such as residents who lived there before you and are still getting a Gaiam, Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma etc. catalog every week). This is such a quick and easy way to lighten the bulk in your mailbox, the clutter in your house, and the burden on the earth.

Stop unwanted catalogs

I recently signed up to this free service. It's easy to use and looks like it will work. Now, when I get a catalog in the mail, I just log in to my account and decline that catalog. I used to email the companies directly but that was time consuming and this service does it all. They've had all the catalogs that I've searched so far.

We Decide! Eliminate Unwanted/Unsolicited Catalogs

I'm getting more, not less now that the holidays are fast approaching. I'm talking about catalogs, lots and lots of catalogs. Catalogs are mounting into stacks in baskets, spread out neatly on the coffee table, end tables, and stuffed into nooks and crannies here and there...my mailbox is so crammed with catalogs these days, it looks like I'm delivering an over-sized baby, as I tug and pull yet another bundle of unsolicited catalogs from my box.

Last week, I finally had it, and decided to do something about the problem that wasn't going away by itself. Prior to find out about the online beta program "Catalog Choice", I spent hours calling toll-free numbers, pressing keys on my phone to channel my call through a myriad of menu options, wait, wait some more, until there was a real person in customer service to speak to, only to request that my name and address be removed from their catalog mailing list.

Once you sign up for this FREE service, Catalog Choice gives you a simple and easy tool to search their database for a catalog and decline it using your customer number located on the back of each catalog, near your name and address. If they don't have the catalog, you can suggest they add it to the database. Your name and address shows up in the appropriate boxes, so all you have to do is find your customer number on the back of the catalog, enter it and click 'Decline Catalog'. You can continue to search for and decline catalogs or view your choices.

How about that...a program that let's us decide what ends up in our mailboxes, just like the 'no call' programs that block unsolicited phone calls!
