Sweet :) I'd been wondering if it was a mobile site issue (should probably have pointed out that I was browsing from my Android phone, oops.)
Have now read your blog post, and am really wishing it was available in the UK now - the mechanism of getting something through your door, taking a photo, and being assured that you won't get any more is amazing... like a 'flag as spam' link for physical items. Very nicely done!
In England you can stop anything addresses to you. You start by registering with the Mail Preference Service (while you're there register all phones with telephone preference service).
That takes a few weeks but should stop most things. Then you contact the Royal Mail and opt out for door to door. Which stops unaddressed mail delivered by Royal Mail.
One important difference between US and UK is that anyone can stuff things through a UK letterbox, but the US mailcan things are protected and only us postal service can put things in them.
I agree this service is really neat and would be very popular. Perhaps if they had a way of telling them that you've opted out and this particular bit of mail still came, and then they could handle the complaints?
Not sure we've got the same laws in the UK that make a provision for you to contact individual companies requesting removal from their lists. Can't you just ask Royal Mail to stop it?
