      We hate delivering them just as much as you hate getting them. Your best bet is to call the companies sending them and have them remove your address from their mailing list.

      You could also go to the full extreme of just removing your mailbox and getting nothing, but sadly that also includes any packages sent through the USPS. They’ll get returned as No Mail Receptacle.

      Can you not where you are? In Canada, you can just tell Canada Post to not deliver them and they’ll stop within a couple weeks

        Nope, it’s a revenue generator for the USPS so they just slide in adverts that aren’t addressed to your address or any particular person. Zero recourse other than not receiving any mail at all.

        This is on top of all the shit that is addressed to you that you can slowly try to fight and unsubscribe from. Catalogs and ‘current resident’ shit.
