Thanks for the service as I hate to shop and order from catalogue or onsite. Purchase one item from a catalogue and get 15 catalogues and some come every week (identical) Thank again You might consider a site where one could opt in or at least furnish the web site of each catalogue company so if we are interested in the product we could check it out online and not kill a tree.

This was posted on postcom.org... CEO John Lenser (of multichannel marketing consulting company Lenser) told his catalog marketing customers "what catalog mailers should do when contacted by Catalog Choice about taking downloads of files of individuals who have registered with Catalog Choice and have requested that the mailer's catalog not be mailed to them. If a mailer has refused to accept these files, Catalog Choice has posted the refusal on their website resulting, in some instances, in consumers calling customer service and complaining. While the DMA has taken the position that Catalog Choice is unneeded given their own "Do Not Mail" preference services, I no longer believe this position is in the industry’s best interest. Catalog Choice now has over 736,000 registered accounts of those who have requested that one or more catalogs not be mailed to them and registrations are growing by thousands each week. Therefore, I am recommending that catalog mailers move forward and accept Catalog Choice's merchant agreement and accept their file downloads. The negative repercussions for not doing so, at this point, outweigh any advantages of not joining. It is naive to pretend they do not exist."
