Has anyone else noticed ...

Moonchilde — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 01:00:46 GMT

... a huge drop in their emails this afternoon?

I had the usual huge load this morning from every place I've ever bought something in the last 5 years, and still multiples from some. This afternoon - NADA. The deadline has passed for most sites to get you your goods by Xmas, by any means or extra charges.

Happy sigh. ☃️

I was having to empty my mailbox 2-3 times a day! I unsubbed from a couple, and after Xmas will unsub from more - ones that were a one-off and I won't be ordering more, but need until I make sure the gift is okay.

Not yet. I'm looking forward to it!

My gift to my self is "unsubscribe"

I can't do it on PetSmart Vet some how, so I had to Spam it. My basset hound passed in May.

I think it's just a lull before a storm of After Christmas Sales emails begins.....enjoy the temporary stoppage while you can.....

Get ready for it...starting tomorrow, all the shopping sites will let you know that you can send e-gift cards to everyone on your list.

There is that...but I will have unsubbed from several more in a week. There are some I want to get, but I want them maybe once a month.

I haven't noticed a difference, I was getting them all day long. I deleted a bunch this afternoon. But I'm pretty sure that today was the last blast. I imagine a steep decline tomorrow and then the after Christmas sales will begin and the emails will come rolling in for that.

About 6 months ago I decided I was tired all of the email ads and junk mail in our regular mailbox. I unsubscribed to everything and I joined an organization to cut down on junk mail. The email has virtually stopped but the stuff coming to the regular mailbox still comes. I don’t think they pay any attention to the “do not mail” lists.

@cotton4me I was getting so much junk mail via the post office I went to Google and found a site where I signed up and virtually stopped the junk mail, of course I get mail for past residents, and what I do get mailings I call and tell them to take me off their list, most are very nice about it, as they spend a lot of money on catalogs and mailings and when I let them know I do not even open their mail and place it right in the recycle bin, most times I never receive any future mail!
