-
Email request
Use the Email option on this page and ask L.L. Bean to stop promotional postal mail. Copy the template below, fill the name and address on the mailer, and send it. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one.
If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for L.L. Bean:
Hello, I'm writing to request that L.L. Bean 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 L.L. Bean. • 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
Photograph the L.L. Bean catalog. 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.
-
Phone
Call L.L. Bean at +1-800-441-5713. Ask them to take your name off the catalog mailing list.
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. Their privacy policy says catalogs are planned in advance, so mail already printed can still arrive.
- Transactional mail is separate. Stopping promotional catalogs does not stop orders, shipments, receipts, or other account mail if you shop.
- A later order can add you back. If you buy again, your address can re-enter the marketing cycle.
Why Do You Receive L.L. Bean Mail?
L.L.Bean is still the family-owned Freeport outdoor house Leon Leonwood Bean started in 1912, first around a hunting boot that became the Maine catalog. In 2018 they said they mailed catalogs to customers in every state and over 150 countries. The mail is catalogs and other promotional packets. They will take your name off their list, and off the lists they share, if you ask them.
You get a catalog if you ordered, opened one, or landed on a list they mail. You bought a coat or a pair of boots once, or someone in the house did, and the catalogs kept the address.
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 L.L. Bean 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 L.L. Bean 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 L.L. Bean 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 +1-800-441-5713 and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of catalog mail. Their privacy policy is the published path for those rights.
Frequently asked questions
How long until L.L. Bean mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Their privacy policy says catalogs are planned in advance. If a catalog arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed.
How do I stop L.L. Bean mail for a previous resident?
Call L.L. Bean at +1-800-441-5713 and ask them to remove that name from this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the catalog label, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will L.L. Bean mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Catalog lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more catalogs to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
