When Starnet submits your mailing list for NCOA processing, the following services will be done:
NCOALink updates your list using 48 months of data from the Change of Address forms filed with the United States Postal Service (USPS). An estimated 44 million people changed address in 2002 alone, and the COA database contains over 156 million listings.
DPV processing validates address information at the physical delivery point level. This enables identification of Undeliverable As Addressed (UAA) mail prior to mailing.
LACSLink processing updates addresses that have changed through the Locatable Address Conversion Service — typically involving the renumbering and renaming of existing city-style addresses or the changing of Rural Route and Highway Contract addresses to city-style addresses. This database contains approximately 5 million records.
This will allow us to delete unusable addresses from your list, saving you money on postage and increasing the accuracy and deliverability of your list. It is not expensive and we will get your updated list back in just one business day.
NCOA updating is now required by USPS for all pre-sorted mailings. While not required for First Class mailings, it is recommended.
