US Post Office Move Update Processing Saves You Money!

In late 2008, the United States Post Office announced a major change in the rules for both First Class and Standard Mail that help them swiftly complete their appointed rounds and save you money in the process.

The New Move Update standards mean mailers MUST begin using addresses that have been updated within the previous 95 days of the mailing date. For example, a mailing entered on June 23, 2010 must bear addresses that were updated no earlier than March 20, 2010.

The NCOA Link reduces undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) mail by electronically checking them against the USPS National Change of Address database and then correcting addresses prior to mailing. This eliminates printing and postage costs for mail that cannot be forwarded. The USPS believes "...the revised standards are crucial to the business interest of the mailers as well as the continued vitality of the postal system." They cite 2004 as an example of handling 9.7 billion pieces of UAA mail at a cost of $1.85 billion.
