Has anyone ever tried to unsubscribe from Dress Barn emails? I think it's impossible. I tried several times & still countless emails weekly. Finally just moved them to junk folder & quit shopping there.

PetSmart must think I own a kennel.............I started getting emails an hour after I left the store.    I only "subscribed" because the cashier seemed to have a quota.............      I quickly hit the "un".

I've had my phone *go off* (email alert) while still standing at the cash register!

I am in the same boat.  The emails never stop.  That goes for catalogues.  I buy from one company and somehow they are connected to oodles of others. I pay all bills online so most of my mail in my mailbox amounts to catalogues and more catalogues. I get lots of weight training daily just dashing to the box at the long end of my driveway and then hauling the stuff back... mostly to trash it.

The email never does stop and one sells to another.  I find myself UNSUBSCRIBING IS NOT THE ANSWER.  Why?  Because it lets THEM know I exist.  They ignore the unsubscribe anyway.... my solution is the good ole old fashion BLOCK.

I have to do this once or twice a year - just after Xmas and maybe one other time.

Many of the sites, when you go to unsub, say "oh dear, please don't leave us! We'll be HAPPY to only send you a mail once a week, once a month, etc, just tell us pretty please."

Nah. If the company has been bombarding me with ads & begs every other day, and I'm sick enough of that, I don't want to "see their face" in my email AT ALL by that point. Just buh-BYE.

I often don't even bothering to unsubscribe to a vendor I know I'll never buy from, I just mark the post as spam. After that, I rarely get more mail from that site.

I spent some time this morning unsubscribing from 6 different vendors e Mail lists.  THese are vendors that I have ordered merchandise from in the past and whose offerings I like.   SO why unsubscribe?   THey are all guilty of the dreaded e Mail creep.   THey have subscribed to the theory that if sending one e Mail a week to their subscriber list is good then sending one every day is even better.  Well it's not.  It's annoying so they are goners.  QVC joined that list quite a long time ago by the way.

Ha...I spent a day unsubscribing from a bunch of retailers who decided 4 e-mails a day was not too much. I also changed the frequency of many. Why...I recently had 1100 e-mails in a week.

I use something called unroll.me.  Easiest thing to use and it reminds me when I need to do a cleanup.

@VaBelle35 - I've used UnrollMe for a couple of years. It changes everything that posters here have been complaining about.

When I unsubscribe, they always come back during the holidays and then continue as if I never had unscribed them!  I am currently trying to find the unsubscribe button for Belk but I think they don't have one, they email me everyday!
