Why is it that when you subscribe to a newsletter or advertising mailings (either email and paper versions) you can do that and you'll immediately start receiving them. But when you want to unsubscribe it can take weeks before you stop getting the mailings.
We still got a couple of paper mailings at the old address. My parents said they had unsubscribed them but they still came. This week there were two and mailed one (supplier) and got a confirmation of the unsubscribtion, but that it could take six weeks for the mailings to stop (they send their sale mailing every two weeks). The other was for a clothing store. Over a year ago I had called them to unsubscribe my mother. They tell you you can still get one or two mailings, because they are already printed). And it stopped, for a while. Until my mother ordered some clothes, send to her new address and the mailings started again at the old address.
Hopefully both will stop, eventually. We never look at the paper mailings anymore, so it's just a waste of paper and postage.
