Unwanted postal mail…
Unwanted postal mail… For years I recycled Renewal By Andersen unwanted postal mailers. Then I moved into an apartment complex for which management controlled window replacement. I couldn’t understand why RBA would waste their marketing material on addresses that had no control of window replacement. This is what I discovered. Renewal by Andersen postal mailers are normally mailed via USPS’s marketing program EDDM/ECRWSS/ECRWSH (every direct door mail). Which means mailers are delivered to EACH address on an USPS mail Route selected by the sender. EDDM mailers can be extremely difficult to stop. WHY? Sender is using USPS’s mailing list instead of their own internal one. If EDDM mailer includes a physical address - email sender and request removal from their postal mailing list. I suggest emailing this request so you can follow up if needed. If EDDM mailer is addressed in another name (ex. past resident). This means USPS still has name variation listed as a current resident. To stop these mailers - properly label mailbox, ask mail carrier to submit form 3575Z/MLNA, return as “NOT at this Address”. If EDDM mailer doesn’t include an address your ONLY option is to ask sender to add your address to their EDDM facing slip. EDDM facing slip ask mail carrier to skip listed addresses. If your mail route doesn’t have a regular mail carrier don’t expect this to be followed.
