How can I unsubscribe from emails when safe unsubscribe never completes?

I get daily emails from various places.  Here is one example.  Monoprice just sent me an email and it has the [BULK] flag on it.  Its like daily promotional stuff that just clutters my inbox.  Oh another one just came in from Cable Organizer with the tag [Marketing] in front of it.

 

Problem is I can click unsubscribe every day from these but the next day I will STILL receive emails from them.  I can't block these companies all together because I might actually buy something from them and I would want the receipt and tracking info to get to my inbox.

When I click unsubscribe, even if its the link withiin THEIR bottom paragraph, it takes me to a safe unsubscribe link.  It even does this on mobile (like an iPhone).

Safe Unsubscribe



Unsubscribing from no-reply@email.monoprice.com is in progress.

 

 

But it never really completes.  How can this nuance be avoided?

For example, when I checked 5 minutes later when attempting to unsub from this community platform (bulk), I noticed the following status, which then provided a series of links to use to manually unsubscribe from these mailings.

What is the status when you go back later (1 hour for example) and review the link for that unsubscription status?

That's what I had to do.  I didn't realize I could check back later.  I never save those links, so luckily I was on a desktop computer and just minimized that browser window.  I refreshed it later and voila, a link to manually unsubscribe was at the bottom.

 

They could have put that there in the first place you know.

Hello,

I might be reviving an old thread, but in my case, the safe unsubscribe remain in progress forever, and I don't get the possibility to unsubscribe manually. Maybe half the emails I unsubscribe to go through immediately, and the other half shows the "in progress" page, and never complete. Any idea how I can solve this?

 

Thank you!
