Understanding Postal Processing and Sorting Classes
How we prep your mail to save you time and postage Tags: postage, NCOA, presort
Postal processing ensures your mailing qualifies for bulk discounts and gets delivered efficiently. Here's what we do before it hits the press:
🔄 Address Cleanup & Certification:
-
NCOA (National Change of Address): Updates recipients who’ve moved
-
CASS Certification: Verifies address format matches USPS standards
-
Deduplication: We remove duplicate entries
📦 Sorting & Class Selection:
We sort your mail based on USPS rules to reduce postage cost.
| Mail Class | Typical Use | Delivery Time |
|---|---|---|
| First-Class Mail | Personal, time-sensitive | 1–3 business days |
| Marketing Mail | Bulk campaigns, promos | 3–10 business days |
We'll recommend the best class based on your goals and budget.
