Automated Mail Service

CASS Certified

Corrects addresses and appends ZIP+4
Eliminates the high cost of undelivered mail

CASS is an acronym that stands for Coding Accuracy Support System. The term CASS is widely used by the USPS when they refer to the verification status of an address list. In order for an address list to receive CASS certification, the list must be checked against the USPS Address Matching System (AMS) CD-ROM, a match must be found for each address and the correct 11-digit Delivery Point ZIP code and corresponding barcode must be added. Only addresses with the Delivery Point ZIP code and barcode are eligible for automation bulk mailing rates. A mailing list must undergo address verification every six months (every three months for Carrier Route mailings) and is particularly important to mailers because of the difference between "automation" and "non-automation" mailing rates, which is about five cents per piece.

PAVE Certified

Enables your mailings in every class to be processed quicker and delivered sooner
Can reduce postage costs by up to 29%

PAVE (Presort Accuracy Verification and Evaluation) is a voluntary program in which the U.S. Postal Service provides testing for presort software and hardware to determine their accuracy in sorting address information and in producing standardized supporting documentation. Presorting is the process of arranging your mail so that pieces going to the same area are bundled together. This allows for the mail to bypass one or more processes once it enters the mailstream. The USPS is thus able to skip certain sortations and process your mail more quickly and less expensively. The savings are passed on to you in the form of lower rates and faster processing. In general, the more levels of sorting you perform, the lower the cost of postage. Both First-Class Mail and Standard Mail can be presorted, and a wide variety of presort options are available. Presorted mail must be packaged and labeled in accordance with USPS requirements. Trays, mail sacks, stickers and labels are available at no charge from your local post office.
