Mail Center File Types
It is important for all address lists to be received by the NCCOAST Mail Center in the proper format for conversion to our mailing software. Our software is updated each quarter in accordance with US Postal regulations, and completes the following operations:

	Performs address corrections in accordance with the latest USPS database which insures your mail, whether first-class or standard (bulk), will be properly delivered.
	Performs duplicate check based on the above address correction and eliminates those duplicates which means that you are not paying postage for mailing extra pieces.
	Addresses your piece using the proper USPS address standards and bar-code which means a faster flow through the mail system.

Therefore, any mailing list received by NCCOAST that is not in the proper format means extra time and expense for you the customer and reduces the amount of savings you were to realize by using our mailing services.
