I opted out last time I received them, but just received 2 more in the mail today. One for me and one for my wife

Unsubscribed. Thanks, I am actually one of those that thinks about unsubscribing every I get one but always forget. Good post, even if not wedding specific.

I wish there was a way to unsubscribe from those too, we get probably 6 a year.

Me to. Straight to the recycle bin. I've never once looked at one of those catalogs.

Some how I got on their list twice. You'd think they'd at least remove duplicate entries... Thanks for posting the link!

I don't mind having one copy, but sure enough 2 of them showed up today. I do like to have one so I can make notes in it and browse through it... but that's just me.

Thanks for the reminder, Kim.

Also fill out the survey at www.bhphotovideo.com/jbhc -- one of the questions is:
"Since we have all our product information on the web, do you see a benefit of continuing to receive this print catalog?"

I'm sure they'd appreciate the input from those who no longer want the print catalog and those who do.

I still love getting the catalog. I read it during the commercials of my tv shows and I see a lot of equipment that I would not look at on the web site.

Sometimes I like to look at the catalog but I still unsubscribed. It is just waaay too much paper for how little I use it. And I live in NYC and go to B&H pretty often so I can always pick it up in the store if I need it.

Good thread!

I just hope all of this opting out results in fewer catalogs being made. I'm gonna be really mad at everyone if I get 42 catalogs next Fall.

The phone book thing has come up a few times. Here is a link to unsubscribe from that as well!

First, I apologize to those who received more than one book and to those who opted out but received books anyway. There are a variety of possible reasons why, but suffice it to say we won't send you what you don't want if at all possible.

I want to thank the OP for posting the unsub link. Very thoughtful and much appreciated. The unsub link has been tweeted and retweeted repeatedly (more than once by me). I doubt Twitter needs it again. :-)

Anyone who got multiple books - please send me the individual alpha-num codes via email (NOT PM) and I'll forward them to the list maintainer. An example of the code is JC1026#####.

Having read a lot of "why do they bother" stuff here and elsewhere, the answer is because more people want them than don't and they do get used. People circle stuff with ballpoint pens, highlight stuff with those yellow markers, fold down page corners or tag pages with post-it notes and tear out pages and post them on the refrigerator.

We want to keep our mail list to folks who really do want them and appreciate your help to keep our list clean. Thank you. FWIW, the whole thing's online here.
