Up to 90 percent of mailing lists are accessed by this process. Registrants generally note a decrease of unsolicited mail one to three months after their names are listed. Since some customers may receive mail under various names, include alternative names or spellings to ensure that the advertiser's mail is stopped.
In summary, by law we must deliver ALL mail that has been paid for - including your private personal mail and that of businesses and organizations.
