Update: Getting Off Mailing Lists Is Fun

I'm happy to report that four months after requesting to get off the mailing lists for DELL, Movies Unlimited, Tempurpedic, Guitar Center, New School, and my dentist's office, they've all complied. Yesterday I requested to get off Macy's and LL Bean. Still need to get off Harry & David, Banana Republic, and Old Navy. Out of the blue, I've also been getting these mailing address labels sent to me by various charities and other random unexpected pieces of junk mail where before I got none. I'm sure my creditors appreciate my checks arriving with the return address splayed on a picturesque snowman scene. I think when I signed up for a free cologne sample is how I got on the lists. Pretty stupid and I should've known better, but I thought it was going to be a whole bottle. It ended up being just a piece of scented paper. I resubmitted my name to the Direct Marketing Association's Do Not Mail list (it costs $1), which stops thousands of companies from junk mailing you.

Do not mail form..

1. I peel off my name, and send junk mail back in postage-paid envelopes. Doesn't stop them
from coming, but have a lot of fun doing it.

2. I like the catalogs.
They give me something to thumb through and get ideas. I hate the charity solicitations with labels and other "free" gifts. Is there a way to specify which ones you don't want?
