Things Handy Mailing Service does for you:

1. Standardize the addresses so that Postal software can read your file. This includes correcting minor spelling errors, providing proper prefix abbrivations and adding directionals that are missing.
2. CASS Certify your list. This means we certify that the address is within an address range that exists and that the address is one the Post Office recognizes. CASS Certifying does not fix incorrect addresses or verify that the name and address match.
3. Address Resolution – A service we provide that runs your list against national databases to determine what is missing from your address. For instance: Your Address = Sam Brown at 512 redbarn Lane, Wichita, KS 67212. Our national database finds a Sam Brown at 512 Redbarn Lane, Apt 612, Wichita, KS 67212. We will add the apartment number to your file fixing the address.
4. Case conversion is the changing of your all caps list to upper & lower case to be more pleasing for addressing and personalization.
5. NCOA (national Change of Address) is now required for all mailings that are presorted or automated. We run your address against the address changes that have been filed with the Post Office and move your address to the corrected new location. This saves you money on pieces mailed to wrong addresses and discarded by the Post Office. If a customer moves out of your service area we can remove him from your list again saving you the print and mailing cost.

Things you can do to maximize the health of your list:

1. Input your customer addresses into correct and uniform fields.
2. Get correct information by using drop down boxes for states and countries.
3. Make sure to get apartment numbers.
4. Rent lists from sources that are running their lists against NCOA every 90 days.
