That would be nice! Not only do I get my & my DHs mail and junk mail here, I also get my EX HUSBAND'S junk mail (who never lived here for one minute in the past 17 years I've been here), my mother's mail & junk mail (I'm her POA), my son's junk mail & HUGE catalogs & he's been living elsewhere for the past 8 years, and all of my DDs junk mail, and she hasn't lived here for the past 5 years............so my mailbox looks like a junkyard. I pile it all into a shopping bag (we have communal mailboxes down the street), drive it into the garage, and dump a good 85% of it into the trash can before I even get into the house.
It's kind of like trying to eliminate spam emails. Good luck on that!
Look at it this way -- the senders of that mail have paid to have it delivered, and the post office is merely providing the service for which they were paid. You have not paid the postal service, the senders of your mail have.
Your gripe is with the folks mailing the stuff, not the post office. Here's a site that gives some good advice on how to get off mailing lists --
If the mail is going to her mailbox and she is getting it you might want to think about getting a PO box so that none of the mail gets to the mailbox. If it is bills that are of concern switch everything to online and even paperless. Funny I used to save junk mail to put in the box when there was no mail. My Husband would go out everyday to get the mail and if there was none he would keep going. I would go out take out the "important" stuff if there was any just in case it did not make it to my desk. And if there was no mail I would put 1 or 2 pieces in just so he would "get the mail" . If the fear is that she will send money to some of those organizations it might be time for you to take control of the check book if you have not already.
That won't happen. Even when I changed Moms address, the junk mail still came. You could get a PO Box and when you pick up the mail, throw the junk mail in the trashcan they provide.
If the mail comes with a stamped envelope, put everything in that envelope. Take the paper that shows your name and address and make sure its the first thing they will see. Circle the name and address and write, "take me off your mailing list". If not an envelope, you will need to go to the online sites and ask that your name be taken off. Its a lot of work, but it stopped most of Moms junk mail. The only one she got and still gets, and she has been gone 3 yrs, is the car extented warrenty thing. She had to stop driving at the age of 84 and the car was sold.
The best way not to get junk mail is to not sign up with Publisher's clearing house, Book clubs or CD clubs. Enter contests like a Free car or trip in the Malls. I just noticed on a catalog order I made I was able to opt out of my address being sold.
All the catalogs and junk mail use discounted rates by the post office. Therefore, it's mass mailing, so the businesses usually don't remove names from their mass mailing files so that they can continue to use the special rate. It's too time consuming and costly for the company. They are hoping whomever is currently at that address will have an interest in what they are promoting.
Now, the junk e-mails makes me want to go screaming into the night.
