The message

Why do companies insist on sending catalogues when you order from the
net? I'm perfectly able to browse the companies catalogue on line,
and
the extra expense of sending out catalogues must jack up the prices.
Surely an option on ordering to opt in to catalogues should be
provided.

Why does every company I buy from by mail order, add me to their
catalogue mailing list again with every purchase? Sending multiple
copies of expensive colour-printed catalogues to the same name and
address is costing them a fortune, and I'm sorry to say one often
notices over time that the quality of the goods gradually declines
accordingly. Yes, I have contacted them and suggested they cut me down
to one copy per issue. No, it doesn't make any difference. It makes me
particularly cross when the catalogue comes from a charity .

Return then marked 'not known at this address, return to sender', they
might, just, get the message!

I do want to do business with them, and get a discount for being a
regular customer. (I live on an island, and when I go on monster
shopping trips to the mainland I just don't have enough arms ). I LIKE
getting a catalogue from the companies I buy from; but I just don't want
to get another copy the same catalogues every week :-(

Ok. The usual reason for getting multiple mailings is that they have you
recorded under slightly different addresses or names.
Barracluff, Barrouglo,Barou, Barrowcloth --aran, Aeron ,Aran etc etc
You can spend hours looking at seemingly identical addresses and after
several hours you spot the difference. Unfortunately there are no prizes.
