Yes, we could do that. Good idea. But we would have to check people want
to get such emails, otherwise they're an intrusive nuisance.


I signed up for it when they sent me an email receipt of an order. So
there's no fear of offending anyone that way.

That's possible of course. But I now receive so many dozens of catalogues
from all the (non garden) shopping I do online that I know that 'tick the no
further info' box is simply ignored. I am particularly irritated to receive
paper catalogues from companies that I order from only online. It's a
tremendous waste of trees, time and money.

I so agree with you. I send them back, marking the envelope "no catalogues
please". Lakeland are among the worst. At one time I was looking for some
item and had SIX catalogues to go through, all in date. When I phoned them
to say, could I just have one main catalogue a year, they said it wasn't
possible - so I have now firmly opted for no catalogues at all from them,
which is an edict they do obey.

Yes, it's one of my 'must do after Christmas' things. I'm going to email or
ring every single company I deal with and ask them not to send me
catalogues. I have all their details online and bookmarked so it really is
a terrible waste.
