I really do appreciate the convenience of online shopping, but despise the inevitable crush of catalogs that arrive in my mailbox when I place an online order at any of the major chains or department stores. What a phenomenal waste of paper and postage! The worst offenders seem to be the home furnishings stores, which makes me wonder whether there is some particular appeal to ordering furniture from a catalog? In any event, the issue that that I ordered the stuff online in the first place -- who says I want a paper catalog clogging up my little apartment-sized mailbox?? Sometimes there are so many catalogs in there that I fear missing actual mail!
I'd imagine the Postal Service needs the revenue these days, but what about the vast resources being wasted on sending me the AllPosters.com catalog, for which I have no idea how I got on the list, and will never, ever order from! There should be a law: (1) you should have to opt-IN to catalog deliveries, not out; (2) if a person doesn't order directly from any one of the, say 1,000 catalogs you deliver in a year (yes, I'm talking to you, Bloomingdales), then that address should be removed from catalog distribution.
Next paper saver: no more receipts!
