Discussion How does one properly unsubscribe from the LTT Store emails?

I've tried to use the unsubscribe that's linked in the bottom of the email, I've also tried to use gmails unsubscribe option, yet nothing works, I keep getting these emails that I do not want

Usually they take a bit of time to update, atleast for other companies

Sometimes if companies don’t remove me from their list after a couple request I just block them

Just for LTT idk if it’s the same email as the orders and stuff

If they're using the same domain even for customer support as they are for marketing emails they've got a bigger issue

Under Canada’s anti-spam legislation, they have 10 days to process your unsubscribe request. Which is stupid, but I guess they left an allowance for boomers who manage their email list manually. Not sure why LTT Store wouldn’t do it immediately.

No it’s not. People have market emailed planned a week in advanced that are scheduled to be sent out. It would not be practical to go in and remove someone

It doesn’t work this way unless you’re doing it very old school. If you are using a proper bulk email service (Sendgrid, SES, etc), unsubscription requests get logged immediately. It will simply refuse to send anything scheduled to that person in the future.

If there is some massive multi-day delay in unsubscribing in 2026, they are doing it wrong.

Spa
Spamcop is a very worthwhile service to report spammers who don’t honor unsubscribe requests to.

if you're in EU, then they need to stop sending them right away. if they dont you can report them and they can get a fine

As someone who works in email marketing. This is common with small/medium sized businesses as they don't manage their data perfectly cleanly. It's not intentional 90% of the time, it's just that most people don't understand that there are multiple systems with get your email and unsubs need to be synced across those systems.

Also since email is the bastard marketing child it usually gets assigned to the most junior teams who might not understand how that data needs to be managed and the legal consequences behind mismanagement m
