PostGhost is a service that aims to eliminate unwanted physical junk mail from your mailbox. By simply subscribing to one of our packages and submitting your basic information, our AI backed technology goes to work on your behalf opting you out of most common forms of junk mail, streamlining the process to reduce clutter and saving you the time and hassle that associated with opting out of junk mail manually.

Additionally subscribers are able to download our mobile and use it to snap and upload photos of unwanted mail to help us eliminate over 90% of all junk mail! 

Our service directly tackles the problem of junk mail, often referred to as prospect mail or direct mail, which encompasses various forms such as catalogs, pre-qualified credit card offers, charity solicitations, and promotional offers. These are sent out based on information gathered by data aggregators and resellers. By pinpointing which organizations possess your details, we actively request your removal from their lists, effectively reducing your incoming mail volume significantly within a few weeks.

To enhance the efficiency of our solution, we've developed an app that allows users to easily capture and submit photos of any unwanted mail. Our advanced technology then identifies the sender and takes the necessary steps to contact them on your behalf, requesting the removal of your information from their mailing lists. This process ensures we eliminate as much junk mail as possible, streamlining your mailbox and contributing to a less cluttered environment.

PostGhost is designed to significantly reduce unsolicited mail, which typically falls into two categories: mail sent using customer lists and mail distributed broadly across zip codes. Our service is highly effective at addressing the first category, including magazines, catalogs, credit card offers, and similar items, by identifying and opting you out from these senders' lists. However, the second category, such as mail sent through the USPS's Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) service, is beyond our direct control and would require legislative changes for complete elimination.

For local coupons or mailers from businesses like grocery stores or pizza chains, results can vary. While our technology may not always automatically opt you out from these types of mail, we have seen successful cases. Our aim is to facilitate a substantial reduction in junk mail, making your experience as seamless and effective as possible.

PostGhost targets junk mail addressed to specific recipients by contacting companies and organizations with direct mail databases. When you submit your name and address through our service, we go to work contacting these entities on your behalf requesting that they search their databases to find and remove or suppress your details.

Smaller organizations typically delete your information from their databases, while larger ones add you to a direct mail suppression list. This suppression list is crucial for campaign management, as it is used to ensure that individuals who have opted out are omitted from the final mailing lists used for production and distribution.

Our service is designed to help you stop direct mail from a wide variety of sources, including associations, catalogs, charities, coupon and credit offers, direct marketers, insurance offers, local mailers, magazines, and national mailers. By leveraging our technology and process, PostGhost effectively reduces the amount of unwanted junk mail you receive, streamlining your mailbox and contributing to a less cluttered environment.

There are specific types of mail that PostGhost cannot stop. These include:

• Account, administrative, and billing-related mail from companies you have transacted with.

• Mail related to ballot issues, election campaigns, and vote-related postcards.

• Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM), a USPS product that distributes unsolicited mail broadly across a zip code.

• Free Standing Inserts, which are promotional materials inserted into newspapers or magazines.

• Notices that are legally required to be sent to you.

• Offers directly from USPS or related to USPS products.

Our service focuses on reducing unsolicited promotional and junk mail outside of these categories to minimize clutter and the environmental impact of unwanted mail.

You'll notice PostGhost is working by a visible reduction in the amount of junk mail you receive. Within a few weeks of starting the service and submitting mail through our app, you should see a significant decrease in unwanted catalogs, credit card offers, charity solicitations, and other types of direct mail. 

The process isn't instantaneous, as it takes time for opt-out requests to be processed and for companies to update their mailing lists. However, by consistently using our app to report new junk mail and allowing some time for these changes to take effect, the volume of unsolicited mail in your mailbox should markedly decrease, demonstrating the effectiveness of our service.

Opting out of pre-qualified or pre-approved credit offers through PostGhost will not affect your ability to apply for and obtain credit. This process only removes you from the mailing lists used by credit card and insurance companies to send unsolicited offers, based on your creditworthiness information shared by credit reporting agencies. 

You will still be eligible to apply for any credit card, loan, or insurance policy on your own by contacting the providers directly or applying through their websites. The opt-out simply helps reduce clutter in your mailbox and minimizes the risk of identity theft from stolen mail, without impacting your credit score or access to financial products.
