If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Walter E. Smithe:
Hello, I'm writing to request that Walter E. Smithe 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 Walter E. Smithe. • 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.

Why Do You Receive Walter E. Smithe Mail?
Walter E. Smithe Furniture & Design is a Chicago furniture retailer. The family opened the shop in 1945 and still runs it four generations later. They sell sofas, dining, bedroom, and outdoor furniture, and they offer complimentary in-home design help. They curate more than 200 brands and keep service after delivery. Privacy dated November 25, 2025 says they collect contact information when you buy, request a sample, or join a loyalty program. The leftover mail is a sale mailer, not an order you already placed.
You get that mail if you shopped a store, booked a designer, or landed on a list they mail. The leftover mailer is often a sofa sale after you already bought the set.

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 Walter E. Smithe as it is not an active member of the ANA.

Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops Walter E. Smithe 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 Privacy Policy page, or call +1-847-632-0165, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of promotional mail.
Frequently asked questions
How long until Walter E. Smithe mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If an offer arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed.
How do I stop Walter E. Smithe mail for a previous resident?
Call Walter E. Smithe at +1-847-632-0165 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 Walter E. Smithe 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.
