Address Cleanup

LetterStream allows you to upload a properly formatted .csv file (text file generated in Microsoft Excel) containing the addresses that you would like to "cleanup". These options standardize your addresses according to USPS standards and provide them with the formatting they prefer.

We have two different address cleanup products you can choose from - CASS and NCOA.

Please note that these options will both standardize the recipient names by making them all upper-case, however, neither of these options will add name/company name information that isn't already there. Individual and Business names must already be included in your data file.

CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System)

This is the slightly less expensive option, priced at $19.95 (base) + $.005 per recipient. It includes the following features:

• Address standardization
• upper-case all text
• compress address data to a single line
• correct spelling of city
• Apply Zip+4 to Zip Code (even when no zip code is present, as long as the correct street address, city, and state have been provided)

NCOA (National Change of Address)

This option includes all of the features that the CASS option provides, plus an additional feature that includes any new addresses for recipients who have moved in the past 18 months.

The price for the NCOA option is $29.95 + $.008 per recipient.

If you've used the CASS and/or NCOA address cleanup option, those files can be downloaded within your account by clicking on the job name, and then clicking the download button.
