How it works. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3:
Step 1: Sign up.
Fill out our online registration form using your name and primary mailing address. Your contact information will only be used for the purpose of honoring your mail preference. See our privacy policy for more details.
Step 2: Find your catalogs.
Find and set mail preferences for your catalogs, using the Catalog Choice search facilities. We'll then contact the catalog providers on your behalf, requesting that your preference be honored.
Step 3: See the results.
It can take at least twelve weeks to process your request, after which time your mail preference should be in effect. Results will vary depending on whether the company is actively participating in our service. All Participating Companies have pledged to honor your requests within 12 weeks. If you do continue to receive catalogs you requested not to, you can return here to let us know, and we'll follow up with the merchant.
Catalog Choice is designed for your continued use. Upon receipt of additional unwanted catalogs, return here to set a mail preference for them. As a registered user, you'll also discover additional features related to managing catalogs at multiple addresses, adding new catalogs to our database, recording personal notes, and "going paperless".
Good for you, merchants, and the environment
The Catalog Choice service is designed to benefit everyone:
- You benefit by reducing mailbox clutter, and the amount of time you spend sifting through unwanted mail.
- Your participation benefits merchants, lowering their cost of distribution and helping them better target their market.
- Your participation promotes the use of best practices in the direct mailing industry.
- Your participation will collectively make a positive impact on our environment. Together we reduce the energy consumed, the carbon emissions, and the lost forests resulting from the current annual production and discarding of unwanted catalogs.
