FAQ: Reaching The Right Addresses with Mailing Services

What will you do with any duplicate or questionable addresses from my mailing list? (with CASS Certification)?

On every mailing order we remove duplicate listings and CASS Certify the list, which allows us to identify "undeliverable" or questionable addresses. We can either mail to these bad addresses or delete them from your list, whichever you prefer.

It's not always the case that addresses considered "undeliverable" in the USPS database won't reach their destination. Some of the addresses deemed questionable might be delivered successfully because the local mail carrier knows the particular neighborhood and where to deliver the mail piece. Since questionable addresses may actually work, you may want to include them in a mass mailing where "getting the word out" matters more than meeting a tight budget.

Please let us know when uploading your mailing list what you'd like us to do with any bad addresses and we'll adjust your mailing quantity as needed.






Rave of the Month

Checking the details

Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent service you provide. Each time I've placed an order with PrintingForLess you've checked my work and found ways it could be improved. The attention to detail and the fact that I can always call and talk to a human being is what keeps me coming back and recommending your company to others. Your prices are fair, your work consistently top rate, and the customer service can't be beat. You can be sure I'll be back.

All the best,

Jena Ball
