Has anyone figured out how to unsubscribe or opt out of this hideous publication?

Fuck the Washington Post. That piece of shit is so liberal, I cancelled it over a year ago.

Yeah, mee too, two years ago. Now I get this massive bundle of crap jammed in my mailbox twice a week. They send it to all non-subscribers, and thus claim they advertise to all of the DC area, whether you subscribe to the Post or not. What a crock

I love the washington post.

Maybe I should cancel so we can just get the ads.

Sounded interesting in the beginning but is absolutely useless. Wapo make it stop.

Thanks for the phone number. This could finally come to an end.

The only time I flip through the Washington Post Shopping Guide is to quickly see if any real mail got stuck inside.

The Wash Post is a propaganda machine for the Obama commie regime.
I stopped getting it awhile ago...

The WP shopping guide is a terrible waste of paper, I've never seen anyone actually want the thing, it piles up at my condo by the hundreds. I'm trying to stop it being delivered, I'll give the phone number a shot...

As for the Washington Post itself - newspapers are dying, I haven't read it in many years. In fact most "news" is just depressing and often irrelevant to the average citizen, try living without it and you may find yourself much happier!

At least the Post is better than NYT. There used to be a good paper around here called "The Evening Star", but that's been gone for a while now. It was the big paper back in the 1950's/1960's, and it was in much wider circulation than the Post. We should resurrect it.

Ha ha, I used to deliver the Washington Star in the afternoon in the late 70's when I was a young squirt, now the paper routes are monopolized by immigrantfamilies with mini-vans.


The Post sends a lot of people that shit who don't want it so they can claim high circulation and charge advertisers more. Good luck getting them to stop.

I can't seem to get the actual Washington Post paper from being delivered. I have no problem with the paper itself - but I'm not a subscriber and have never been and I'm sick of dealing with soggy newspapers on my doorstep once or twice a week. I'd called several times and no luck.

Just don't pay your next renewal bill. That's what I did.

There is no renewal bill - I've never subscribed or paid anything :) Supposedly it's a "sample" to drum up more subscribers.

From here: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2008/09/25/if-you-dont-get-it-good/

"Rima Calderon, vice president for communications and external relations at the Post Co., declined to answer most questions about Sirvet and the shopping guide, including basic ones about who gets the guide and how many editions are mailed out each week. Calderon did say, however, that Sirvet is the only opt-out problem the guide’s staff is aware of."

D-bags... the only one? Really?

Apartment mailrooms are probably trashed when this thing is mailed out.

Anyone with success unsubscribing? I'm with wtfno.. I only flip through to check if my real mail is stuck in it.

thank you that number worked. they said I would get 1 more week then no more.

Hey, me too. I still have my bag. Although I used my bike with baskets to deliver.

The route I had was passed down through many neighborhood kids over the years. I gave mine up in the late 70's to the first female carrier in our neighborhood. I think she was the last before it's demise.

I also remember the fun of the day when I was little, was when the driver dropped off the papers in his step van up the street. He would give me and my friend a ride down the street to the corner with the door open and us standing and holding on.

Could you imagine that these days?

Ahh... good times.

The Washington Post forgot to add MY SWEATY BALLS to their guide list!

That number worked for me! There's a voicemail telling you what info you need to provide to unsubscribe. Thanks!

The bright side of getting the ads is that it enables some comparison shopping and can be more convenient than Googling b/c you are seeing only what's in local stores.

Regardless, I am so grateful that we DC metro residents still have a large, high-quality independent newspaper. The newspapers in other areas, even many big cities (e.g., the Phila. Inquirer, the San Francisco Chronicle) can't even compare. I'd subscribe for the quality of the op-ed page alone. And I'm independent politically.

Stop complaining about a key source of revenue that supports this newspaper. When and if we lose the function of a watchdog media, we can look forward to increasing corruption in our institutions!

I sent a nasty e-mail to them complaining about why people are randomly signed up for the guide and why it is soo difficult to get off this list and that it is a huge waste of paper and they should really try going GREEN hahah This is what I just got back!!

"Please accept our apology for the inconvenience this has caused you. The Washington Post appreciates the opportunity you have given us to correct the situation. A notification has been escalated to our office to stop the delivery of our Shopping Guides at your residence. Rest assured that this issue will be straightened out.

Again, we do apologize and thank you from The Washington Post."

Everyone should just write "return to sender" and see how they like getting a pile of shit back.

Thanks to Virgogirl and anon above for the number to call to end delivery of this obnoxious and awkward waste of paper to my mailbox.

The phone call was very quick, and the polite rep let me know that I might receive one more "Washington Post Shopping Guide," but he assured me that after that the deliveries will stop. Hooray!

The number to call is 202-334-7730.

The phone number above is correct.

Interesting how many angry, illiterate people there are, who proudly and inappropriately need to tell us they don't can't read Washington DC's newspaper of record. That fits, and it explains a lot.

I sent an email to homedelivery@washpost.com and I received a response from circsales@washpost.com saying they would discontinue delivery. They also suggested I call 1-800-627-1150 ext. 46992 if delivery did not stop. Hope this worked for me, and can help anyone else.
Spread the word!

Last June I signed up for daily & Sun. for 52wks. at $43.55 an offer that came in the mail and was not solicitated by myself. I then get a bill for $70 on follow-up notices for which they have no explaination when I inquire. They stop the paper on 3/3/2014 and when I call and ask questions, because I have the paper for a year, they come up with an excuse and say I now owe $25 for the first three months. Do they know what they are doing? They false advertise and then try to do an end run to get more money. I would not get this liberal paper again but will switch to a more balenced paper the Washington Times. At least I know I will be dealing with an honest organization who will not go back on their advertising presentations.

Twice a week I get the marketplace junk paper right on my doorstep along with the other 200 apartments where I live I have called them several times and spoke with Adrian, Kathy, and Ms. may see who all reassure me that they would stop it. I I asked for a direct contact to the marketplace manager or supervisor and they refused. It's been six weeks and we are still getting these junkie trashy papers. They stay in the lobby for days because nobody picks them up. It is clear when you enter my apartment complex it says no trespassing or soliciting. I even approached the guy who is dumping this crap and told him he's trespassing he said his boss gives him permission. What the hell is that supposed to mean. Anyway I told him I'm calling the police and he continued to throw papers and every door after he sped away very fast through a parking lot with children
