<p>Have you heard of this website? Its free, and you just list the catalogs that you’re SICK of receiving in your mailbox, and they take care of it for you. Check it out.</p>

<p>But, in a way, doesn’t that sort of result in “reverse market intelligence” for the catalog companies/retailers? Because, if you think about it, it’s actually providing them with information - negative information, but information about the targeted mailing address - vs. no response at all. A “no interest” is more valuable than complete silence…</p>

<p>I enjoy most of the catalogs I receive. What I wish for is a way to get many of these companies to stop sending two of the same catalog. All they do is change the cover, but the contents are the same. The worst offender is Talbots, but Garnet Hill, J.Crew, and several others do this as well.</p>

<p>Well, with this one you have to put in the exact address and customer number, and supposedly the companies want the info so they don’t waste sending to people like me who won’t buy from them anyway. Hmm…we’ll see as it takes 10 weeks to see results. Anything to get my recycling bin under control. i agree with the duplicate catalogs, 1vu…plus Horchow must send 5 different versions practically weekly of the same merchandise!</p>
