-
Contact form

PaperKarma app
Photograph the Safeway mailer. PaperKarma files the opt-out for you.
Once you opt out of this sender, you can opt out of 100,000+ other mailers in the same app.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. Mail already printed can still arrive.
- Pharmacy and account mail is separate. Stopping weekly ads and other promotional mail does not stop pharmacy notices, order mail, or other account mail if you shop.
- Sister lists are separate. Albertsons and the other names in that company can keep arriving until you stop those lists too.
Why Do You Receive Safeway Mail?
Safeway started as M.B. Skaggs’s grocery in American Falls, Idaho, in 1915. It is now part of Albertsons Companies, which runs stores in 35 states and the District of Columbia. Albertsons is in that group. The mail is weekly ads and loyalty offers.
You get that mail if you shop, joined for U, or live near a store they mail. Removing this address at Safeway does not automatically clear Albertsons.
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.
-
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 Safeway 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 Safeway 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.
Go to the Comments & Questions page and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of promotional mail.
Frequently asked questions
How long until Safeway mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If a weekly ad arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. Albertsons and other names in that company can still arrive.
How do I stop Safeway mail for a previous resident?
Go to the Comments & Questions page 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 Safeway mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. Submit a new Comments & Questions request for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
