NCOA ^Link

Each year more than 43 million Americans move from their place of residence or business, but their old addresses often remain in the mailer's computers. As a result, mail continues to go to old addresses instead of the new ones. It is estimated that at least 10% of all standard class mail is undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA). This means lost opportunities, lost sales and wasted money.

The Postal Service is moving ahead with its effort to reduce undeliverable as addressed mail. On November 23, 2008, the USPS began requiring that a mailing list be updated within 95 days of the mailing, both for standard class and 1st class mailings.

Our NCOA ^Link service makes available current change of address information that can help reduce your undeliverable mail. Addressing errors are identified and corrected before mailing. NCOA ^Link will save you money that would have been spent on wasted materials and postage. In addition, valuable customer records that would have been outdated can be be kept current so the customer will continue to receive current and future mailings.

And to make things even easier for you, we’ll even keep track of when your list needs to be updated, and automatically process the update to make sure you meet the 95 day postal requirement.
