Boston Globe refuses to stop sending me postal spam.

Globe Direct, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boston Globe.

I've called them four times over the last 12 days. The first two on a Monday at 12:47, and Tuesday at 12:30. I've dug through their phone menuing labyrinth in an attempt to get a human and failed. Every time I left a very polite voicemail with my name, phone number, a request that they stop mailing me, and a request that they call me.

So I called the Boston Globe's main number, and asked them what I should do, given that they own this company that refuses to stop mailing me. After they suggested that I do what I've been doing, their response was:

"I guess there's not really much more you can do."

So I asked for contact info for someone within the Globe to complain to. They gave me:

Director of Sales
Susan Hunt Stevens
617-929-7310

She has no voicemail. Can't wait for Monday.

the same seems to be true of the Lowell Sun, which distributes the useless paxkets of ads and circulars up here. I spoke to a person, who assured me i'd be removed from the list, and it just keeps coming.

It is somewhat soothing to know that we have a woodstove...

That sounds like something described on the page I recently linked to on the subject.

I'm guessing there is no destination address on it? And your postman may just be in the habit of giving them to everyone, and might not have been informed that you shouldn't get them anymore. In which case the solution is to tell him, and possibly inform him it's illegal to deliver mail without a destination address.
