Stop Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer

November 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment

If you are not familiar with Trader Joe’s, they are a small neighborhood grocery chain that provides, according to their website, “a combination of unconventional and interesting products in the Trader Joe’s label as well as everyday basics.” What I’d like to add to that is they provide a taste treat to the taste buds!

Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer

Whether you shop there or not you may also receive their monthly mailer called Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer. This is a multi-page catalog style mailer that goes into great detail about a sampling of their products. Great information, but if you don’t shop there or are looking to declutter and reduce unwanted mail, why not have it stopped!

So then let’s get right to it. Unfortunately Trader Joe’s doesn’t make it especially easy to find the opt-out request form. After a little digging, I found it here on their Soapbox page. Just click on the Unsubscribe link, enter your address as shown on the mailer and submit.

They don’t indicate how long it will take to be removed from their mailing list, but I would assume it will take 2-3 months. If you still want to find out what’s in the Fearless Flyer you can always access the latest information on their website.

Stop Tuesday Morning Event Mailer

October 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I’ve never shopped at Tuesday Morning, but I’ve heard good things about their prices. Someday I will get around to going there and checking out what they have.

Once a month I receive their Event Preview letting me know all the great things they currently have in stock. Well, I don’t want them to take the time to send this to me…shocking!

So I looked through the Event Preview and nowhere did Tuesday Morning let me know how to stop receiving their monthly mailer. My next stop was the website, where I checked out their privacy policy. There’s a statement that lets me know if I want to stop receiving this mailer to head on over to the Preference Center. Things are now looking up.

Tuesday Morning Event PreviewHere’s where the story turns. I get to the Preference Center and I have the option of signing in to a previously set up account with my email address or setting up a new account. Well, I don’t have an account and the only way to set up a new account is to choose to receive communications from Tuesday Morning by either email or postal delivery. Hmmm…but I don’t want either!

I then found an email address (custserv@tuesdaymorning.com) and explained my predicament. I provided them the address I wanted removed and asked them to let me know if there was another way to be removed from their list. To my surprise they responded in less than 15 minutes to let me know they had removed the address! Because of printing schedules it may take up to 90 days for the update to take effect. Hats off to Tuesday Morning for their quick response.

So to be removed from the Tuesday Morning mailing list, head on over to the Preference Center if you have a profile already set up and/or you want to receive email updates from them. Or send an email to custserv@tuesdaymorning.com and provide them the exact address to be removed.

Stop Bed Bath and Beyond Mailers

September 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I love shopping for household items like towels, sheets, dishes, all that good stuff. When I was a kid I loved looking through the big Sears and JCPenney catalogs and dreaming of the day when I could really buy that big wooden breadbox.

Those days have come and gone and I no longer really want that breadbox. But when I do want some new decorating item I can just head over to my computer and look for what I want online. So the fact that Bed Bath and Beyond sends out a small catalog frequently just makes me want to make it stop.

When looking for the instructions I almost couldn’t find them because they’re in teeny, tiny print. (see area in circle) I would’ve taken a close up, but my camera couldn’t focus on it. Anyway, it does say if you want to opt-out of future mailings to visit their website. The specific website is bedbathandbeyond.com/unsubscribe.asp.

The first screen will bring you to options for email delivery. If you’d like to receive sale updates by email this is where you’d let them know. Below the submit button, there’s a link to be removed from direct mail.

That will take you to the next screen where you’ll fill in your name and address information. Make sure you fill in your address exactly as it appears on the mailer. According to the confirmation page it takes about 90 days for the Bed Bath and Beyond catalogs to stop.

Stop Junk Mail Catalogs

June 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Catalogs are a great way to shop from home. They give the opportunity to see a product before it’s actually purchased. Unfortunately, retailers can get carried away and send you an overabundance of unsolicited catalogs or share your information with other catalog providers so you continue to get more and more.

There are several options available to stop or reduce the catalogs you receive.

  1. The fastest way to stop catalog delivery is to contact the company directly. Use the toll-free number, website or address to let them know of your preference to no longer receive their catalog. Some companies may have the option to receive fewer catalogs. Advantage: quickest method to stop your catalogs.
  2. If you created a DMA Choice account already, log in to the catalogs section. Here you will be able to stop all catalogs (at the bottom of the page) from companies looking for new customers. However, if you have already purchased from a company, you will need to contact them directly or request DMA to contact them on your behalf. This method could take up to 90 days for the catalogs to stop coming to you. Advantage: centralized location to stop your catalogs.
  3. Another option for centralized catalog reduction requests is the website www.CatalogChoice.org. Create an account and let them know what catalogs you would like to discontinue receiving. They will then contact the retailer on your behalf. Using this method could take up to 12 weeks. Your catalog also may not be a member of their service, but they are adding more all the time. Advantage: centralized location to stop your catalogs, increasing selection of online catalogs, interactive community.

Depending on the number of catalogs you currently receive, this task may be time consuming. Be patient and keep at it because in the long run it will be worth it when you stop receiving unwanted catalogs.
