Buy Now, Get Junk Mail Later?

It doesn't have to be that way.  Not anymore.  Here is a secret:  I actually do enjoy buying something from one of those order by mail outfits on occasion.  Getting a catalog from them once in a while is OK, too.  What would I do without my Clotilde catalog?  I treasure that one and save each one in a file until the new one comes.  Pawing through it is much more satisfying than going online to look for gadgets. 

But with all respect there are some others I not only can but MUST live without.    It had gotten so bad that I hardly dared buy anything mail order at all because it seemed to start a deluge of sister-catalogs.   We travel a lot and have to pay for our mail forwarding.    Who wants to pay to forward junk mail from companies that interest us not in the least and sell merchandise we would not be caught dead buying?

Here is the solution:

Catalog Choice

All you do is select the catalogs you have been getting that you don't want and they contact the publishers and act on your behalf to tell them to quit sending them to you.  I like that way better than having to call each one and yell at them.  In truth, the folks on the phone are usually quite gracious, and I don't actually yell, but I feel like it, as truly I do have better things to do.    So do you. Just say "SCAT!" to those junk catalogs!

I work for a company called Bongo International. We actually log every item that comes into your mailbox so that you can see them online. Therefore, there is no need to contact the junk mail companies. You can continue to receive the mail and trash the items for free that you don't want forwarded. You also can have an image taken of the items you want to see ($0.50). It works great. You should check it out.
