Email request
Use the Email option on this page. Ask Burpee customer service to remove your name and mailing address from the print catalog and promotional mail list.
If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Burpee:
Hello, I'm writing to request that Burpee permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including your internal house list and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings. The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer: [NAME] [ADDRESS] [CITY ST ZIP] A few notes for your direct mail team: • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from Burpee. • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source. Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference. Thank you, [NAME]
Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

Phone
Call Burpee at +1-800-888-1447. Ask them to stop catalog and promotional mail to your address.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. A catalog already on the press can still arrive. Ordering seeds again or requesting a free catalog from the site can restart mail.
Why Do You Receive Burpee Mail?
Burpee is the seed and plant company founded in 1876, famous for introducing the original Iceberg lettuce in 1894 and the first white marigold in 1976. It still trials varieties at Fordhook Farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and runs an active print catalog program from its Shopify storefront.
You get the catalog after requesting one from the site, placing an order, or staying on a legacy house list from the old Burpee mail program. The contact page from the pre-Shopify era is gone, so phone and email are the surviving DIY channels.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
DMAchoice lets you cut catalog and charity solicitations from many senders at once through the ANA’s mail preference service.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Burpee as it is not an active member of the ANA.
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site for opting out of prescreened credit and insurance offers for five years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Burpee mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
PaperKarma handles one mailer at a time from your phone and can reach senders DMAchoice does not cover.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
Burpee’s privacy policy on burpee.com describes how to exercise privacy rights by phone or through the Email option on this page. Catalog removal is separate from deleting an ecommerce account if you still shop online.
