New USPS MOVE UPDATE standards effective

November 23, 2008.

Trying to remove Undeliverable-As-Addressed (UAA) mail from it’s system the Post Office has implemented changes to get the users of direct mail to help and compliance is required every 95 days. Over the years the Post Office has been tracking non-deliverable mail which now exceeds 9.7 BILLION units at a whopping cost of 1.85 Billions Dollars. MOVE UPDATE is part of additional mailing requirement changes coming next spring which will include new postal rates and the implementation of the intelligent barcode.

What to do? It's simple, clean up the name and address files before you mail. Independence Direct is ready to help! Provided as part of our in-house service, our certified MOVE UPDATE process of NCOA^Link (National Change of Address) verifies and corrects all of your addresses up front and can remove Undeliverable-As-Addressed (UAA) before they go out.

By correcting the name and address information with "CURRENT" delivery information your mail will process at the most economical rates available. This will save you from wasting stock, postage and the potential cost of return mail notification.
