You need to be prepared, patient and persistent. I've taken all the steps I used -- phone numbers, links, etc -- and posted them on my site: http://www.jonnyhal.com/otl_blog. Hopefully other people can laugh at my pain -- plus learn ways they can get back at the powers that send crap. Good luck to all -- trash pixels, not the planet. jonnyHal I have been very successful at limiting the junk mail that my wife and I receive — down 90% in 6 months — but it hasn’t been easy.

I mentioned both of these earlier this year, but both are worth bringing up again. Personally, I still get lots of unwanted mail coming to my home (especially the catalog dupes). A lot of these folks are a bit overly aggressive and most consumers don't have much of a chance of ending the onslaught without help. Cheers, Randy Thanks everyone for other tips.

A lot of consumers believe that if they just sign up it is like adding your name to a Do-Not-Mail list but it is much more complicated that this. You have to be very persistent just as you are when doing it yourself. The difference is when using an online service you do not have to call or email the catalogs, the service will do all the hard work for you as well as keep a record of the catalogs you opted out of thereby saving you a lot of time and frustration. We at stopthejunkmail.com have been helping our members stop junk mail since 2001. Cheerio, Margot at stopthejunkmail.com Gidday,
