Handle an old opt-out after a second move
A removal request applies to the address it named. If you move again, a sender can pick up your new address and treat it as a new contact, so your earlier request may not carry over.
What to do after another move
- Look at how the mail is addressed. Mail forwarded from your old address is a different situation from mail a sender addressed to your new one.
- If the label shows your current address directly, the sender has your new address on file, and your earlier opt-out likely does not apply to it.
- Photograph that label and submit it through Junk Mail Magic as a new request.
- If you contact the sender directly, give both your current and previous addresses so it can check for more than one record under your name.
Forwarded mail versus a new record
Read the original address and any added delivery label separately. A piece carrying an old address needs a different explanation from one printed with your current address. Quote the original label when following up, then ask the sender which record it found and what its confirmation covers.
Use the address on the piece
Base any new request on your current address exactly as it appears on the mail. If you think the sender also still has your old address, ask whether it can remove both records.
