How is my privacy protected?

Your exact address is never stored. We hash your address using SHA-256 encryption before saving it. This means we can detect duplicate opt-outs but cannot reverse the hash to reveal your address. Map locations are also approximated to protect privacy.

What happens when 50% of a route opts out?

When a carrier route reaches majority opt-out, we document this milestone and use it to advocate for change. This data demonstrates clear consumer opposition to EDDM in specific areas, providing evidence for potential legislative action or USPS policy changes.

What is a carrier route?

A carrier route is the specific path a mail carrier walks or drives to deliver mail. Each route has a unique code (like C045 for a city route or R012 for a rural route) and typically serves 300-800 households. EDDM mailers target specific routes, which is why we track opt-outs by route.

How accurate are the household estimates?

Household counts are estimates based on Census data and average route sizes. City routes typically have 400-700 households, while rural routes have 300-500. Actual counts vary. When we verify a route with USPS data, the estimate becomes more accurate.

Can I opt out multiple addresses?

Yes, you can register each address where you receive mail and want to opt out of EDDM. Each unique address is counted separately toward its carrier route's total.

TL;DR

EDDM junk mail is unstoppable—but together we can prove demand for an opt-out exists. Enter your address below to register your household's opposition.

EDDM Do Not Deliver Registry

Q: Does this actually stop EDDM mail?

No. This is a symbolic opt-out registry. USPS does not currently honor opt-out requests for EDDM mail. Our goal is to demonstrate consumer demand for an official opt-out method. When carrier routes show majority opposition, we'll use that data to advocate for policy change.

USPS refuses to let consumers opt out of Every Door Direct Mail. This tool lets you register your household's opposition and track how many of your neighbors feel the same way.

Why This Matters

USPS claims there's no demand for an EDDM opt-out. This registry creates documented evidence of consumer opposition. When routes demonstrate majority opt-out demand, we'll use that data to advocate for policy change through direct outreach to USPS leadership, congressional representatives, and media attention.
