The really annoying thing is that the service here is only available to US residents, even though much of the bulk mail I receive as a Canadian comes from US businesses that only bother to check the DMA list (and not the Canadian equivalent) even for the operations of their Canadian subsidiaries.
Given that it's a list for companies to obey, the service shouldn't care what country I live in, but only where the company sending the mail is headquartered, no?
- lstamour 6y agoI don't know if USPS offers this service, but for Canada Post, you can tape down a note to the inside of your mailbox where the postal worker will see it to indicate that you don't want to receive junk mail. https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/support/kb/receiving/mail-delivery/how-to-stop-receiving-advertising-mail https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/support/kb/rec... And yes, it really does work when combined with https://www.thecma.ca/resources/consumer-centre/get-less-print-mail https://www.thecma.ca/resources/consumer-centre/get-less-pri... - when you do both, including opting out from CMA with multiple first and last names listed to handle different variations or previous occupants, you end up getting very few pieces of junk mail over the years. I actually wonder if some of it is returned to sender at the Canada Post sorting facility.
