    Opting out of Royal Mail's Door to Door service


    The opt out service only relates to unaddressed mail.

    Royal Mail is still legally obliged to deliver all addressed mail, which includes mail that is addressed “To the Occupier” (or with any other generic recipient information), as well as mail that is personally addressed to you by name.
    It is not possible for Royal Mail to separate material you don’t want from those you do want

    For example: advertising offers or leaflets from material from Central and Local Government and other public bodies.

    Opting out from Royal Mail Door to Door stops all unaddressed items from being delivered by us (although we do work with Government to get a message to every UK address in exceptional circumstances). Election material is not delivered by the Door to Door service and is therefore not affected by this opt out.
    Opting out means no one at the address will receive unaddressed mail items.

    You should first check that this acceptable to everyone living at the property.
    Please be aware that Royal Mail delivers a minority of the total volume of unaddressed mail items in the United Kingdom. The opt out will not cover any other distributors, who will continue to deliver unaddressed mail items. Opting out of Royal Mail Door to Door deliveries will not necessarily reduce by a significant amount the number of items you will receive, as there are other carriers in the market place.
    If you would still like to stop any other unwanted communications - Please visit mpsonline.org.uk which provides details on all other preference services, or call 03457 740 740.

      E-Mail receipt:-

      Dear Householder


      Royal Mail Door to Door Opt Out

      Thank you for contacting Royal Mail regarding opting out of receiving Door to Door, unaddressed mail.

      We are pleased to receive your request because we only wish to deliver unaddressed mail to recipients who are interested in receiving such items.

      This improves our service to advertisers and means that they only produce items for those who are interested, reducing the environmental impact of their mailings and making them more effective.

      It is extremely simple for you to opt out. All you need to do is to complete the attached form and return it to us at the address shown.

      What opting out will mean for you

      Before deciding to go ahead with opting out you may like to be aware of the effect of doing so in relation to items you receive through your letterbox. There are a number of things that you may or may not be aware of and it is worth considering these before deciding to go ahead.

      1. Our Opt Out service only relates to unaddressed mail delivered by Royal Mail.

      2. We are still legally obliged to deliver all addressed mail, which includes mail that is addressed “To the Occupier” (or with any other generic recipient information), as well as mail that is personally addressed to you by name.

      3. Some of the items that we deliver may contain important information issued by local and central Government departments, for example materials relating to elections. Because we cannot legally separate these items from the others we deliver - such as advertising offers or leaflets - you will not receive these if you choose to opt out.

      4. Opting out means no one at the address will receive unaddressed mail items so you may wish to check whether this is acceptable to everyone living at the property.

      5. Royal Mail delivers around 25% of unaddressed mail items in the UK. Therefore opting out of Royal Mail Door to Door deliveries will not eliminate the majority of items that you currently receive through your letterbox, as there are many other companies who deliver leaflets to whom this opt out will not apply.


      Opting out from other unaddressed mail deliveries

      To opt-out from deliveries from other unaddressed mail distributors you may wish to register with the 'Your Choice' preference scheme run by the Direct Marketing Association. They can be contacted at: -

      Fax: 020 7323 4165

      How to opt out from Royal Mail Door to Door

      If you still wish to opt out of receiving Door to Door mail items please complete the attached form and return it to us at the address shown. Upon receipt we will process your request and it will be implemented within 6 weeks.

      Every effort will be made to prevent the delivery of Door to Door items by Royal Mail.

      Your Opt Out will last for a period of 2 years. However, if you wish to resume deliveries of Door to Door to your address at any time during this period please contact us at optout@royalmail.com

      At the end of the 2 year period, in order to continue with your opt out, you will simply need to repeat this process and complete a new application form to confirm that you are still resident at the address and wish to continue opting out of Door to Door deliveries.

      Yours sincerely


      The Opt Out Team

          Thanks for this, we're registered with the TPS, MPS etc but not done the RM opt-out. What I sometimes do with the general non identifiable junk that RM deliver is use any freepost envelopes provided and shove it all back to them.

              Nail up your letter box and/or lock our gates and they cannot deliver. If they cannot deliver they will not, and they will take your address off the database that feeds the Postcode Address File (PAF) that most public and private concerns buy to provide address confirmation in any electronic form.

              If your address is not on PAF then you are incognito. No mail, no credit, no hassle......, but no birthday cards or bank accounts, unless you have friends who will take I mail for you. Mail is Returned to Sender from sorting office, electronic searches return 'address not found'.

              It is a fib that all UK addesses are on it. If postie cannot deliver they remove the address, so that they are not accused of non-delivery. They blame the householder. All since privatisation.
