Ask to keep one seasonal catalog
You want one seasonal catalog but not the rest of the year's mailings. Not every retailer offers that setting, so ask before you assume it exists.
How to check and request a seasonal-only schedule
- Find a catalog that came to you and note the retailer's name and the contact details printed on it.
- Call or email the retailer and ask whether a seasonal-only mailing preference is available for your address.
- If the retailer offers it, ask how to set it up and which season's edition you will receive.
- If it does not, decide whether to keep all mailings or stop them. For a removal request, photograph the mailing label and submit it through Junk Mail Magic. Review the details, sign in and submit your first request free, with no card.
What to do when a seasonal setting does not exist
A retailer may have no way to send only holiday or summer editions. In that case you can stay on the full list or come off it. If you come off it, you can order a single catalog by phone or online when the season you want arrives. Ask whether ordering again would put you back on the regular mailing list.
A practical next step
Keep the catalog in hand when you call so you can read out the label exactly as printed. Note the representative's name and the date of the call. If the retailer says a seasonal option exists, ask for it in writing or by email.
