We have been getting mailers from places that - we are about 99.99% sure that we never signed up to get mailers - and we would like to be removed from the mailing lists.

I think it's just as easy to throw the stuff in the wastebasket, but DH is "on a mission" to get our names removed from the lists.

I go to the sites - and I can easily find places to sign up for mailers, but I am having "a time" trying to find a "please take our name off your mailing list" spot.

Is there something I/we are missing when I go to a site?

Men are like that. I just throw them away. I still get lots of mail for the people who lived here before me. They didn't leave a forwarding address for some reason. At first I returned it to the box with "no longer at this address" written on it, but now, after 2 1/2 years, I just toss it.

By chance do the mailers come with a postage paid return envelope? I got so tired of getting a mailer from one company for my deceased brother and myself that I put on the info page they sent to return to them (if interested) that my brother was dead stop sending and on mine I put "not interested" stop sending. They quit sending my brother's right away and mine it took about 2 months before it quit coming. So anytime I get mailers I don't want and there is a postage paid envelope I send it back stating to stop, the company has to pay the postage. I have known some people just send the empty postage paid envelope back.

Nope - no envelopes with these things.

This website allows you to remove yourself from mailing lists, but it is a pain to use. (I tried it for my brother and quit because it was just too much work.)

I do the same as jazzmyn...send back the literature in their pre-paid envelope with a big note across the area that has my address stating to be taken off their mailing list. If they don't have the envelope, I often will call them & request being taken off. I think it is working as I don't get near as much junk mail as I did in the past. Now, getting junk/spam from the phone is a whole different ball game. Ugh!

After sending money to a charity, I started getting appeals for more money, every three weeks. After four months of writing back to them to say it was just a one time thing, I finally just wrote deceased on the envelope and sent it back. Have not heard from them since.

This is what I have done, and usually the junk stops coming!

I packed everything in their prepaid envelope and wrote Void Take me off your list. It really cut down on our junk mail.

Good luck with that. We were getting junk mail from my husband's ex after being married 25 years and moving twice. I finally wrote "deceased" on them and sent them back. They stopped. Maybe that would work for you? lol
