Benefits of Move Update Processing
The new Move Update processing requirements start on November 23, 2008 requiring both First Class and Standard mailing lists to be run every 95 days prior to mailing. One of the best methods for this processing is the National Change of Address Linkage System or NCOALink.
NCOALink allows mailers to electronically process their mailing lists against the USPS National Change of Address database. This reduces undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) mail be correcting input addresses in the file prior to mailing.
Using NCOALink prior to the mailing will help mailers avoid unnecessary production and postage costs for mail that may not be forwardable. It also helps keep Postal Service processing costs down by eliminating forwarding and return-to-sender processing of UAA mail.
This process improves mail piece deliverablity by providing mailers with current, standardized, delivery point-coded addresses for individual, family and business moves.
