How can I stop all catalogs from being mailed to me?

Question

I receive dozens of unwanted catalogs in my mailbox (snail mail); I just trash them, have called and gone online to stop some, but there are too many to call each one. How can I stop them all? I have already put my name on the direct marketing "do not send" list and have received confirmation from them stating that I am on that list. It does not seem to matter. Help?!

Answer 1

If you did not sign up for one, likely, they purchased your name from a list broker. Most catalog companies have their own do not mail list, which they scrub against. You will have to conact them directly to be off the list. The DMA list, in my opinion, is useless, because not many companies scrub against that list.
