Marilyn, I’m surprised that Vermont Country Stores would continue to send you mailings. It does take a few…maybe 3-4. Many catalogs print mailings way in advance, especially during holiday season. Please be patient. CC.org helped me a lot! I’m down to two catalogs per month that I want and order from regularly. The rest of my shopping is online.
Hi Chuck, it’s been a while. Now I’m tangling with a long time charity that shared my mailing info to one too many. Best Wishes again to CC.org and their success.

I am still inundated with Vermont Country Store catalogs even though you said they had complied with my request. What does it take to get off their mailing list?

I stand by my original statement. Anyone wanting to opt-out of receiving catalogs by snail mail has to really search to find out that this was the original purpose of the Catalog Choice website. By contrast, I can sign up to receive email news from catalog merchants, I can browse “Cool Catalogs” or “Favorite iCatalogs” or “Featured iCatalogs.” There’s a tab that will quickly get me to “iCatalogs” but not one that leads to a page where I simply type in the name of the catalog I don’t want (as used to be possible). And — the most offensive — this site actually has multiple advertisements from catalog merchants. Sounds like free publicity to me. The catalog companies must be ecstatic.

Lynda: Catalog Choice remains a voice for consumer choice with all the companies we list on our service. We partner with catalog merchants so that we can ensure that they honor your mail preference request. Setting your mail preference is front and center in our service. We are introducing new services related to how consumers and retailers connect. Collaboration does not mean that we have lost our voice for the consumer. It is as strong as ever.

Best,
Chuck

Some time had passed since I last used this site, so I was very surprised to see the unfortunate direction it has taken. It is now a front and an advocate for the catalog merchants. Before, it was easy to enter a title to drop. Now that option isn’t even a choice at the first screen. It’s really a shame to lose this independent voice for the consumer.
