Optional Services

These optional services can enhance the success of your mailings:

• Content Assurance If you send large numbers of identical items at one time, such as enrollment kits, our state-of-the-art mail processing equipment can weigh each one to ensure the contents are correct. If they are not, we will notify you of the discrepancy.
• Address Verification Using software that meets the USPS’ rigorous CASS Certification standards, Global Mail can verify every address on your domestic mail pieces, correcting the ZIP Code if necessary. You can receive three types of reports on the results of this process to help you maintain a clean database and avoid the expense of sending undeliverable mail.
• File Management To keep your address data and lists up-to-date and avoid the costs of wasted postage, we offer extensive merge-and-purge services. Our software can quickly scan through thousands of addresses in your database to eliminate duplicates and filter out any that have been determined undeliverable locations. We can also perform database splits on your files as needed.
• USPS Ancillary Endorsement Services For your Undeliverable-As-Addressed (UAA) items, we can apply USPS Ancillary Service Endorsements (e.g., “Return Service Requested”) to your indicia so you can receive return mail and keep your address database updated.
• Service Disruption Alerts If a natural disaster or other unforeseen event occurs that could affect your mail delivery, we can inform you in a variety of ways. Subscribe to the “Global Mail Observer,” our free e-newsletter, for updates on potential trouble spots worldwide. For domestic shipments, use our Customer Web Portal to find out about problems in the destination ZIP Code. If a significant situation may cause more than a small delay, Global Mail will contact you to keep you informed.
• Selective Routing* By constantly monitoring mail traffic patterns throughout the U.S., we can reroute your shipments to bypass local problems—from emergency post office closures 100 miles away to severe weather clear across the country. No matter what happens, with Selective Routing, you’ll always have the fastest path to your customers.
• Tracking via Delivery Confirmation† Follow your bound printed matter from door to door with our Delivery Confirmation service. From the second they leave your hands to the moment they reach the final destination, you and your customers can stay informed about shipments throughout their journey.
