They will not get the message...even though I have opted out AND called..don't these businesses realize I'm less inclined to do business with them because they refuse to regard my wishes????

I did a lot of googling to find a few of the major culprits but I think with CC.org many are now really listening. Junk mailings from those financial ex empires that are affecting our economy (not CC.org's job) have been my headache. I may need a job soon because of that mess.

Mitchell Sat, 27 Sep 2008 20:36:59 +0000 http://blog.catalogchoice.org/?p=232#comment-9017 Three arrived today Yvonne: Opted out several times to “Woman Within” and now they have me on Jessica London’s hit-list - Ironically I received two of the Woman Within catalog’s today - one’s a Roman but has same customer number as Woman Within - Our planet will never be GREEN! Makes me want to YELL YELL YELL - oh yes, and I have phoned at least three times to request they NOT send me any more catalogs! UNCLE! I wonder if calling each of these individually will help or not - opting out here doesn't seem to make it with this family of catlogs (Woman Within, Roman's, Jessica Landon). Very fed up with this whole thing. Husband laughed his butt off when he brought in the three catalogs today (frown). HELP! Three arrived today Yvonne:

FYI: Woman Within is under the Redcats USA family of several catalogs. To name a few: Brylane, Chadwicks, Cyrillus, Jessica London, oh, I could go on... Try contacting Redcats USA PO Box 4400 Taunton, MA 02780-7359. They were kind enough to remove me from all of their mailings and respond. It does take a few months. Sometimes I get flyers for Dell Corp but the culprits are probably the big electronic appliance stores we buy dvds from even though they deny sharing mail info. We haven't received any catalogs from Dell since Mar08 and they are a "Confirmed" on my list. I also would like to know if CC.org would be joining the Green Channel family. I love their shows and innovative ideas. Ann, I’m a bit surprised about Vermont Country Store because they have been very respectful of my wishes.

I have opted out "again" here but I plan on calling to give these merchants a piece of my mind today - Happy Friday! Is there anything legally we can do to stop this? In a way, I find it offensive to my choices and privacy. (the two are: The Vermont Country Store & Woman Within - never ordered from them to begin with).

Chasing Fireflies is the worst when it comes to just assigning new customer numbers. To top that off, I got one today from "Wishcraft" by Chasing Fireflies. This company isn't even on the list to decline from. And, after all that, I don't even have kids. My other top offender is DELL corp. They have lost my business forever, regardless of what I think of their computers. Lisa – YES!!! Chasing Fireflies is the worst when it comes to just assigning new customer numbers.

I have like 5-6 from one company (Chasing Fireflies). It seems like this is a way that sellers are appearing to respect my choices but really are not. Are other folks experiencing this?

Regarding your efforts to spread the word, have you considered working with people at the relatively new Planet Green channel. On their shows (several of which I really like) I have noticed two recent mentions of how beneficial for the environment it is to cancel unwanted catalogs, but they suggested calling each one to cancel. I wondered if they knew about your web site, whichs it so much easier and quicker to cancel for people who receive many catalogs - like most people I know these days. Best wishes for your continued success. Beth Kudos to you for encouraging so many people to get a little greener by cancelling unwanted catalogs and for making it much easier to do so.
