Wednesday, October 31, 2007 Fun Finds

I nearly wet myself in excitement when I found CatalogChoice.org. I get anywhere from five to ten catalogs a day in the mail, and I want to weep for the wasted time, money, paper and effort that winds up in my recycling bin without ever been opened.

Go there now. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Sign up.
Fill out our online registration form using your name and primary mailing address. Your contact information will only be used for the purpose of declining (opting-out of) catalogs. See our privacy policy for more details.

Step 2: Find your catalogs.
Find and decline your catalogs, using the Catalog Choice search facilities. We’ll then contact the catalog providers on your behalf, requesting that your name be removed from their mailing lists.

Step 3: See the results.
It can take up to ten weeks to process your request, after which time you should no longer receive your declined catalogs. If you do continue to receive them, you can return here to report the infraction, and we’ll follow up with the merchant.

Catalog Choice is designed for your continued use. Upon receipt of additional unwanted catalogs, return here to decline them. As a registered user, you’ll also discover additional features related to declining catalogs at multiple addresses, adding new catalogs to our database, recording personal notes, and “going paperless”.
