Frequently Asked Questions
Are their other alternatives to Stop Junk Mail Kit?
You can register your name and address with the DMA (Direct Marketing Association) but you will find they don't stop mailings from catalog companies, most credit card applications, and other promotions from marketing companies that are not members of the DMA (including PennySavers, ValPak, Save on Everything, The Flyer, Shopwise, Comcast and most charity mailings). Stop Junk Mail Kit will stop all of these promotions. Also, some supposedly “free” services are actually bulk mailers that will monitor your preferences so they can more accurately target their promotional (junk) mailings to you — foiling your efforts to eliminate junk mail!
Their are some online services that are effective in eliminating your junk mailings but these usually charge a yearly fee of between 20-30 dollars.
What does kind of mail does Stop Junk Mail Kit stop?
Stop Junk Mail Kit gives you the tools to eliminate catalogs, credit card applications, charity mailings, sweepstakes offers, and even daily coupon mailers.
Is stopping junk mail entirely even possible?
Rarely, some direct mail companies completely ignore unsubscribe requests. Stop Junk Mail Kit works to ensure that your requests are being honored, but in the unlikely event that a direct mail company does not honor your opt-out request, you have legal options (detailed in Step 5 of your kit).
I purchased the packet, what do I do now?
The packet contains a detailed check list of the steps necessary to eliminate your unwanted postal junk mail. Please follow each step closely and complete the recommended items, including a visit back to www.stopjunkmailkit.com to complete catalog removal.
How can I stop catalogs?
Stop Junk Mail Kit will stop traditional junk mail (credit card applications, charity mailings, sweepstakes offers, coupon packs, etc.) but does not stop your favorite catalogs. We allow you to list the catalogs you don’t want and supply you with the contact information for each title. Then, you can quickly send an email request to unsubscribe. When you purchase the Stop Junk Mail Kit, you’ll gain access to our catalog contact database, which has information on over 10,000 catalogs, so you can be sure we’ll put a stop to any unwanted catalogs.
How do I stop receiving credit card offers?
Most unsolicited credit card offers will be stopped by completing Step 2 ‘Make the Call’.
Does Stop Junk Mail Kit stop phone books?
No, but we do provide you with the toll free phone number to stop receiving excess phone books if you wish.
How do I log in to complete Step 3?
Once you have finished the checklist, please visit www.stopjunkmailkit.com and click on the “Log In” button. Enter the entire unique customer code located on the inside flap of the packet and your email address. This will give you access to the contact information of over 10,000 different companies and organizations that you want eliminated. Type in specific mailers that you want to stop receiving and we will email back all of the information you need.
What if Stop Junk Mail Kit does not have a catalog that I want to stop receiving?
Stop Junk Mail Kit has a catalog database of over 10,000 names. If a catalog is submitted that is not in our system, we will attempt to track down contact information for you.
How long will it take to see a reduction in my junk mail?
It might only take a few weeks to see a reduction in your daily bulk mail, like coupon circulars. Unfortunately, many catalog companies print their mailing labels months in advance, so it may take 8-12 weeks to stop receiving unwanted catalogs. After four months, 90% of your household’s junk mail should be eliminated.
How do I stop junk mail from certain companies?
If, after completing all five steps in the Stop Junk Mail Kit, you are still getting junk mail from a specific bulk mailer, simply log in to www.stopjunkmailkit.com and enter the bulk mailer’s name under ‘Catalog Removal Request’ (even if it is not a catalog). We’ll email you the contact information for that organization if it exists in our database, and you can ask them specifically to remove you from their list.
Can I fill out a subscription for my business?
It is possible that Stop Junk Mail Kit will stop some business mail but we cannot guarantee it. That’s why we don’t recommend using Stop Junk Mail Kit to eliminate corporate junk mail.
How does Stop Junk Mail Kit protect my identity?
A major source of identity theft is thieves nabbing pre-approved credit card applications and loan applications from mailboxes and trash bins. Shredding and slicing these applications and promotional cards is a good safeguard, but if you can stop the junk mail from ever entering your mailbox, you can eliminate the identity theft risk altogether.
What information does Stop Junk Mail Kit gather from me?
For billing purposes, we need your credit card information, but we keep that only long enough to complete the billing process — then we permanently and confidentially delete that information from our records forever. See our privacy policy for more details. StopJunkMailKit.com will NEVER trade, sell, lease or distribute any of your personal information. This is our bedrock policy.
How much does Stop Junk Mail Kit cost?
Stop Junk Mail Kit stops your unwanted junk mail for five years for only $12.50, which is $2.50 a year or less than 21 cents a month. If, for whatever reason, you receive unwanted junk mailings again within five years, simply contact us and we’ll go through the five steps (link to How it Works page) again — at no cost to you.
How long does Stop Junk Mail Kit service last?
The service covers your entire household (including roommates, children, spouses, etc.) for five years, even if you move, get married or change your name.
