– DMA Representative We are trying to change this by compelling the USPS to offer an opt-out method. Since the Postal service did not encourage the local advertisers to utilize the removal service against their mailing lists (to remove the addresses) the service was ineffective and had to be discontinued.” “The problem that we had was getting the Postal Service to promote the removal service to the local businesses that send out that type of mail to the local addresses. Here is an actual explanation from a representative of the DMA (the direct marketing group partnered with the USPS on this program:

The original opt-out mechanisms are now defunct and never worked in the first place, leaving no known way to unsubscribe or opt-out. Why can’t I unsubscribe from EDDM / ECRW advertising mail? Instead of your actual name and address, it will simply say “Postal Customer” or “Residential Customer” where the address line would be. ECRWSS stands for Enhanced Carrier Route Walk Sequence Saturation It usually appears above the “address” line as: ECRWSSEDDM. Mail pieces from this program may also be delivered with the ECRW or ECRWSS code. Every Door Direct Mail ( EDDM) is an advertising division of the United States Postal Service ( USPS) in partnership with Taradel and the DMA.
