    I have asked mspark to stop sending me junk mail ad flyers in the past. This month they have mailed them to me twice. I want them to stop mailing me.

    There is no address viewable in this complaint.  However, we had a recent request from ********************* sent via our website for the following address.

    86 ************* ***** C042

    The following e-mail response was sent on 1/31/24 directly to ****************.  

    Please accept our apology for any inconvenience that resulted in receiving our Mspark circular. We understand receiving this package is not beneficial for you or our advertisers.  

    Your request to be removed from our list of future mailings was granted on 1/8/2018.  We are full addressing our circulars in your area. Because we are doing so, we attribute this to a postal carrier error and will address this with your local **** delivery supervisor. 

    If you would like to take additional measures to ensure address suppression on boxholder type mailings, we strongly recommend filling out a PS Form ****-R at your local post office.

    Upon further investigation, we found that this carrier route has had a Spectrum detached address label accompany our Mspark circulars.  If the client received a circular with no address, it is possible that the carrier placed this in the mailbox in error.  The detached address label is addressed and must accompany our circular.  

    We will reach out to the local post office, on behalf of the resident, to ensure they follow proper **** delivery protocol.

    Please accept our apology for any inconvenience that resulted in receiving our Mspark circular. We understand receiving this package is not beneficial for you or our advertisers. 

     

    Your request to be removed from our list of future mailings at *************************************, ***** was granted on 10/23/2022.  To streamline mail processes, Mspark utilizes simplified addressing. Simplified addressing is typically Current Resident, Postal Customer, or PO Box holder rather than personal names and addresses. Since a specific address is not on our circular, we provide your postal carrier with a list of residential addresses to suppress. Because we have done so, we attribute this to a postal carrier error and will address this with your local **** delivery supervisor. 

     

    If you would like to take additional measures to ensure address suppression, we strongly recommend filling out a PS Form 3982-R at your local post office.
