Thank you! Those offers probably comprise 50% of my junk mail. I live in a building of condo units. One of them kindly keeps the recycle bin OUTSIDE the door, and most of my junk mail goes in there without ever coming in the house. Highly recommended. Sometimes I even flip through catalogs I might or might not like, so that if I don't they can go in the bin. I just did the optoutprescreen.com thing. Thank you!

Most, but not all, order lines could tell me that too. Eventually, one gave me a single number to call for a central clearing service and that killed off most of my remaining junk mail in one go.

Find the unwanted catalog you're receiving in their database, input the customer number and your address from the mailing label, and they will put in the request to have the catalog stopped. I have stopped dozens of catalogs successfully this way, and only receive from companies I actually use. It works! One more step: http://www.catalogchoice.org.
