Catalog Choice dot org

It's a site where you log in and stop catalogs from being mailed to you. You make the choice of which ones to stop.

This site keeps track of all the catalogs you have chosen. If for some reason your catalog(s) have not stopped, you can go back and re-submit and your request will be delivered to the appropriate vendor. I have been a member for several years and only had to do this twice.

Saves trees. ...and my trash can from getting full...LOL!

I get many catalogs and most go immediately into the recycle bin.

I love my cataogs. I don't get as many as I once got but I get quite a few. Most end up in the trash but I still like looking through the pages.I

Sometimes I get a rogue catalog, one with whom I've never had an association, and I usually flip through it, find their website if I'm interested then go from there. If I get another one from that same place then it gets axed.

@SilleeMee I just tried going to Choice Catalog dot org, and it told me it didn't exist. Then I searched for Choice Catalog and found the website Catalog Choice dot org. You may want to edit your original post.

I started using Catalog Choice about five years ago. It works. Sometimes an unwanted catalog slips through, but I go back to the website to report it again. My unwanted catalog avalanche has decreased substantially.

Am I the only one who loves looking through catalogs?

For me you can "flip through" catalogs on the internet. It's so easy to do it that way. Many businesses have opted to discontinue printing paper versions of their goods.

I have never liked looking through catalogs on line. I get both sides...but I enjoy much more looking through a paper catalog.

My experience: At first, it seemed to work. Then I got notices that a company had gotten my request, but chose to ignore it. Plow & Hearth and The Company Store come to mind. (Like telling me you don't care about me is a good selling technique!) Then I started to get requests for money from Catalogue Choice. What seemed like a good idea was ruined by poor execution. I'm still puzzled by the business plan that encouraged companies to disregard the wishes of customers and made sure the (former) customer was aware of their decision. Talk about poor customer service!

@excpa,

I've never been asked for money by Cat Choice. That's odd. I'm not sure but maybe there's a email-preference choice under your account settings on their site so you may opt out of requests like that. For the most part my experience with Cat Choice has been a real positive one.

My sister reads them and then keeps the catalogs to help get her fireplace going in the winter time.
