How do I stop receiving advertising mail?

To stop getting unaddressed advertising, simply put a note on your mailbox stating that you do not wish to receive Canada Post Neighbourhood Mail™. Place the note in or on your mailbox, or on the inside lip of your community mailbox, group mailbox or postal box.

Still receiving advertising mail?

If you continue to receive unaddressed advertising after you have placed the note on your mailbox, fill out the form below to create a service ticket. We’ll investigate the issue.

What we can stop delivering

At your request, we can stop delivering most unaddressed advertising material, such as:

What we cannot stop delivering

You will continue to receive the following material from Canada Post:
