Below is a list of frequently asked questions regarding our services. If you have additional questions please email us.

MEPB is a confirmed opt-in direct email marketing and SMS advertising organisation. What does that mean? |
We employ a "confirmed opt-in" subscription process to ensure the protection of our users. Once a user subscribes to a list, he or she receives a confirmation email sent to the subscription email address. If the user does not confirm the subscription by replying to the email, he or she is NOT added to any list. This ensures that all our users have actively signed up and confirmed their interest in the lists. This prevents confusion with spam, which is unsolicited, unwanted email. Middle East Post Box implements a strict NO SPAM policy, and we work to ensure that we abide by the highest ethical standards.
MEPB makes it easy to get on and off any lists by including unsubscribe instructions in every message sent. We place top priority in giving our subscribers the information they have requested.
