Mailings
We offer a full range of mailing services. Whether you are using your own mailing list or purchasing a list from us, we will save you money. When you consider your cost of labels, toner and the manpower required, you'll see why it doesn't pay to mail it yourself. We can also handle variable-data mailings from personalized letters to custom invoices and surveys. Our other services include CASS certification, Delivery Point Validation, Move Update, tabbing, carier route sorting, de-duping and taking to the Post Office with the necessary paperwork.
First Class or Standard Bulk
When you send out your mail via first class mail, the USPS automatically forwards your mail to individuals or companies that have moved and submitted a Change of Address (COA). However, that forwarding is only good for 12 months. For the next six months, the Post Office will return the pieces to the sender and indicate the new address that they have on file. This allows you to update your list for future mailings.
After 18 months, returned mail will only say "Undeliverable As Addressed" with no new address indicated. However, if you have not included your return address, the PO will not know where to return your mail and they will be thrown away. The same holds true for cases where someone has moved and not submitted a COA to the Post Office. The PO cannot notify you of the move without a return address, and you will continue to send out pieces that will simply be thrown away. That is a waste of money for postage and printing plus mailing services fees or your labor in preparing the mailing.
When mailing using Standard Bulk Rate, you get significantly reduced postage rates. Mail is not forwarded or returned, however. Bulk Mail that cannot be delivered to the person at the mailing address on the envelope will be disposed of unless you provide specific instructions to the Post Office via an Ancillary Service Endorsement. An ASE is a phrase that tells the USPS how you want undeliverable pieces handled:
RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED tells them to return the piece to you with updated address information.
ADDRESS SERVICE REQUESTED means you want them to forward the piece to the new address they have on file and to separately send you a notice with the new address information.
For Bulk Mail, both of these services are provided at an additional fee on just the forwarded or returned pieces. FORWARDING SERVICE REQUESTED is an endorsement that will forward pieces at no charge but will not provide a separate new address notification back to you. For all ASEs, your Return Address must be on the piece.
