Many local and national organisations like to communicate information to people using unaddressed mail and door to door material delivered directly to their homes. Such items can include free newspapers, free magazines, catalogues, information leaflets, advertising brochures & money-off coupons, local directories and free product samples.

Tired of having your post box crammed with unsolicited mail, advertising, including preapproved credit card applications?

According to Mailing Preference Service, UK consumers generate over £25 billion of postal sales per year, the majority welcome the information and special offers they receive by post. However, some people might take a different view. If you just want to stop unsolicited mail register with the MPS (Mailing Preference Service) which is actively supported by the Royal Mail.

The Mailing Preference Service is a free service set up 20 years ago and funded by the direct mail industry to enable consumers to have their names and home addresses in the UK removed from lists used by the industry.

The MPS prevents the receipt of unsolicited direct mailings sent from member companies of the Direct Marketing Association and takes steps to prevent the receipt of unsolicited direct mailings from companies which are non-DMA members. However, your registration will not stop mail that has been sent from overseas, un-addressed material or mail addressed to the occupier. You can expect to continue to receive mailings from companies with whom you have done business in the past. You may also receive mailings from small, local companies. If you wish these mailings to be stopped, you must notify these companies directly.

This will reduce your mail box from being crammed with unsolicited mail!
