Current opt-out methods for Dwell Magazine mail

Email request
Use the Email option on this page and ask Dwell Magazine to stop promotional postal mail. Include the full name and mailing address you want removed. Copy the template below, fill the bracketed fields, and attach a photo of the mailer if you have one.
If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Dwell Magazine:
Hello, I'm writing to request that Dwell Magazine 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 Dwell Magazine. • 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.

PaperKarma app

Phone
Call Dwell Magazine at +1-415-373-5100. Ask them to stop promotional mail and subscription offers. Say you want marketing stopped, not a paid magazine canceled, unless you also want that.
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. Print runs are scheduled in advance. An issue or offer already labeled can still arrive.
- A paid magazine is separate. Stopping promotional mail does not cancel a print or Dwell+ subscription you still pay for.
- A later list add-back can start it again. A later gift subscription or renewal can put the address back on a file.
Why Do You Receive Dwell Magazine Mail?
Dwell is a modern-design magazine. Lara Hedberg Deam founded it while building her own home, and the first issue landed in October 2000 with the Fruit Bowl Manifesto: show a house as it is lived in, not staged empty. Dwell won a National Magazine Award for General Excellence in 2005, ran Dwell on Design through 2018, and later put a furniture line in Target. Editor-in-Chief William Hanley leads Design, Culture, Ideas, Guides, and Shop. Ownership sits with Recurrent Ventures. The leftover mail is a subscription offer or a print issue, not an order confirmation.
You get that mail if you subscribed, asked for a trial, bought a gift, or landed on a list they mail. The leftover packet is often a renewal after you already read the issue online.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively

DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Dwell Magazine as it is not an active member of the ANA.
-
OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Dwell Magazine mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.

PaperKarma
For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops Dwell Magazine marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Call +1-415-373-5100 and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of promotional mail and subscription offers.
Frequently asked questions
How long until Dwell Magazine mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If an issue or offer arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. A paid magazine you still subscribe to will keep coming until you cancel that subscription.
How do I stop Dwell Magazine mail for a previous resident?
Call Dwell Magazine at +1-415-373-5100 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will Dwell Magazine mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
