Can the mailman stop delivering me store flyers and coupon packs?

Is there any way I can get the post office (US) to stop delivering the store flyers and ValPak coupon bundles? I never use nor look at them, they bury my real mail deep in the center, and it's a waste of paper and time.Can the mailman stop delivering me store flyers and coupon packs?

Not really.





There is a form that you can fill out at the post office telling them not to deliver that stuff. It does cut down on some but the problem is that if you look at how it's labeled its addressed to you not 'occupant' and so they have to deliver it.





Imagine if something that you did want and they didn't deliver it. They, the post office, aren't going to put themselves in a position to be sued.





Do fill out the form. Can't hurt.
