NCOALink National Change of Address (NCOA) Service
More than 43 million Americans move each year. Because so many of your customers are moving, outdated addresses in your mailing list could be a major cause of undeliverable-as-addressed mail and waste, driving up your costs. Send us your mail file and our Service Bureau will update the addresses of customers that have moved – before you mail. We’ll match your list against the full USPS NCOALink dataset of approximately 160 million moves on file over the last 48 months. We also offer 24-month processing. As a NCOALink Full Service Provider, Melissa guarantees the lowest price for your service.
