The Mail Preference Service is a fantastically simple and efficient way to reduce the amount of junk that comes through your door, and takes less than a minute to register online.
Today, I found out about Choose Your Mail, another free service that helps you manage junk mail, but this one gives you more control over what you do and do not allow through your door. Say you're a big fitness freak and want to know about all the latest deals being offered by gyms in your area, but aren't so fussed about being sold new credit cards: you can specify these areas of interest on the site

I wish it were just as easy to stop all the catalogues I get sent from online shops.
I got a staggering amount sent from one particular shop in the run up to Christmas which were identical apart from a couple of new products added.
It annoys me so much that you can unsubscribe from email mailing lists easily but you can't do the same for postal ones. :(
Here is another useful website with lots of information about how to stop annoying junk mail: www.stopjunkmail.org.uk.
Rachel, according to the Stop Junk Mail website you need to contact the shop that sends you the unwanted catalogue. Either return it to the sender (unstamped) with a note saying that you no longer require the catalogue or give them a ring.
