Right now, mailers may be finishing those last-minute details to get billings, parcels, or magazines to clients or subscribers. Or perhaps they are working against a deadline to get a direct mail campaign off and running. Mailers need an address change system that is fast, secure, reliable, and economical. In response to those needs, the Postal Service offers ACS.
ACS is an on-piece address correction service that helps to identify if the addressee has moved. It is used in conjunction with the Intelligent Mail barcode (IMb) and/or ancillary service endorsements so mail can reach the proper destination. ACS is ideal for those who maintain addressee records on computers. ACS mailers configure mailing address labels, envelopes, and address blocks to comply with ACS participation requirements, and may develop their own matching software to update their mailing list. There is no formal contract or service charge associated with using ACS. Fees are based on the number of change of address (COA) and nixie (mail that is undeliverable for reasons other than a move) notices provided to the ACS customer.
