Last fall I made several online purchases through RedCat companies like Chadwicks, MetroStyle and Brylane Home.
Approx. 3 weeks later the catalogs started trickling in. Then they began pouring in. By spring the mailbox was flooded.
I understand the importance of advertising, but some of these companies were mailing catalogs two and three times a week, which really is overkill considering that the same merchandise is available online.
So I registered with Catalog Choice and supplied them with each catalog’s name, the customer number off each label, and the reason I was opting out. That’s all there was to it.
It took about 8 weeks before I saw a significant decline in the number of catalogs I was receiving. The flood’s back down to a trickle.
Now I’m happy, my mail carrier is happy, and somewhere…..a tree is happy.
