Concerns Regarding Postal Inspection Services Initiative for Move Update

When using Address Change Service, a mailer actually gets mailpiece scans back. You get a scan of your original mail piece if there is a move on file; and then the Postal Service will charge you 50 cents to provide you back the old and new address information. This information should be utilized to correct your database. The mailers now have many samples in house that they can show where the original address that they had on the original mail piece going out the door; came back with a fee charged and indicating a new address that the Postal Service says they need to use to update their database. The “New” info is the actual address they had on the original mail piece going out the door in the first place. They were dinged 50 cents to get back their own, correct information.
