You can actually! You have to pay like $3 to unsubscribe from junk mail (ridiculous, right?), but you can! You have to unsubscribe from pre-screened credit cards separately. I did both a couple years ago and reclaimed my mailbox.
I know I’m going to sound like a bit of a dick, but where I am I just put a little sticker that says “no junk mail” on my letter box and then the junk mail stops. That’s more awesome imo
I unsubscribed from the junk mail I was getting just to realize that my mailman just puts the same junk into every box in my neighborhood without looking at the address, so I still get my neighbor’s junk mail lol
Just checked DMA Choice to confirm that I already paid to unsubscribe from junk mail like 3 years ago. Still get piles of unavoidable mailers every week. I asked my post office about it and they told me any mail that is addressed “Current Resident” or the like instead of my name legally has to get delivered. So yeah, it’s fucking useless.

Yeah I’m super confused that they have to pay to opt out. You in Australia? I also have the little sticker. Honour system at work maybe?

I definitely don’t get any more. Maybe you can complain about your mail carrier.
