What Counts as Spam/Junk Mail?

Physical spam/junk mail is the unsolicited physical mail sent to your physical address. This clutters your mailbox and is often unwarranted but just sent by organizations that seek your attention for their services. Common examples of physical spam include:

Why Am I Getting Junk Mail in the First Place?

Junk mail often comes when organizations get your home address and make it their business to inform you about the services they offer, even when you have not requested such information. Junk mail could come from:

  • Stores you've shopped in
  • Banks you've transacted with
  • Local ads distributed to all addresses in your neighborhood
  • Clubs
  • Companies that get your details from prospective customer lists shared with them by partners
  • Companies that get your information from credit bureaus that leak your personal details

Can I Opt-Out of Junk Mail on Behalf of Someone Else?

Some tools allow you to opt-out of junk mail on someone's behalf while others do not. DMAchoice enables you to stop mail sent to a dependent under your care by registering on the do not contact for caregivers list. You can also register on the deceased do not contact list to prevent mail from being sent to a deceased individual.

On the other hand, it is illegal for you to submit an opt-out request on behalf of a third party when using OptOutPrescreen unless you are the said person's parent, guardian, executor, or an administrator. The service, however, allows you to request firms to eliminate offers of credit or insurance for a deceased spouse. Alternatively, you could decide to directly contact the company that sent mail to the deceased spouse.

Should I Opt-Out Permanently or Just for a Certain Period?

When to Opt-Out of Junk Mail Temporarily

While you can opt-out of junk mail for good, the temporary option is more convenient if you intend to use such services or use such information in the future. Such instances include:

  1. You don't currently want a credit card but would not mind receiving such information in the future.
  2. You believe that your insurance options may change in the future.
  3. You don't intend to shop at a store currently but plan to do so sometime later.
  4. You are not subscribed to a utility but intend to do so in the coming months or years.

When to Opt-Out of Junk Mail Permanently

When you are sure that you will never need the information offered by junk mail, then you could go on and permanently opt-out. You can do this when such information comes from:

  1. Firms or creditors with which you never intend to engage
  2. Stores you will never shop at
  3. Charities to which you will never contribute towards
  4. Political candidates you do not intend to support

How to Stop Seattle Junk Mail by Yourself

Junk mail addressed to previous residents will force you to go through more steps, and you may be unable to complete the process if the opt-out request requires personal information. Such a situation is likely to leave you feeling frustrated and helpless.

Next Steps to Stop Seattle Junk Mail if You Can't Do It Yourself

Opting out is unlikely to stop all junk mail, and you may still receive unsolicited mail from politicians and charities you donate to or companies you do business with, especially if they are not part of the opt-out service.

Therefore, you will have to personally contact them and ask to be removed from their mailing lists, which they might not do. There is, however, an alternative solution that will require you to do absolutely nothing but relax as the issue is taken care of on your behalf.
