Accuracy / Control

Inventory Decrement
MailExpress verifies on a daily basis what was received, processed, shipped and distributed. We compare this to client files and generate reports showing any discrepancies. Clients can determine in advance how discrepancies should be handled, such as returning the mail or holding it in a secure area. This capability ensures accountability for 100% of the mailstream.

Destination Scanning
MailExpress is the only vendor that rescans every piece downstream for proof of receipt and processing. This unique feature prevents misrouted mail from entering the USPS mailstream and enables total tracking of each individual piece of mail.

Piece-Level Tracking™
This fully integrated tracking system links all data – from client-supplied identification numbers, to MailExpress tracking codes, to the USPS Delivery Confirmation.

Content Assurance
MailExpress is the only vendor to provide weight verification for mail upon collection and again before distribution to identify packages that may have been tampered with or damaged. MailExpress also can pull packages that are out of weight tolerances and may have been fulfilled incorrectly.

Address Verification
Addresses are verified against CASS certificated software. An 11-digit Postnet barcode is applied for faster processing through the USPS.

ZIP Code Correction
Pieces with incorrect zip codes are corrected with an indicia, and a zip code is manually added to the address block. MailExpress continually updates its database to enable zip code correction before the mail is shipped.

HighAlert™
Custom-designed security options fit your specifications and provide you with additional peace of mind. For instance, video imaging can be used to verify package condition and proof of receipt.

Mail and Parcel Retrieval (MPR™)
At any time before the mail is delivered to USPS, you can retrieve any piece of mail from the system and correct mistakes.
Customization / Flexibility

Customized USPS Preparation & Entry
MailExpress works closely with the USPS to ensure mail entry and integration at processing and distribution centers. Entering mail at optimum times ensures that it is processed and delivered quickly.

Invoices and reports can be custom-designed to track cost centers, products, projects, departments, campaigns, unique pieces and other criteria. These can be sent electronically or by facsimile or hard copy.

Fully Automated Processing
MailExpress’ OnTrack™ Processing technology links existing mail automation equipment to information management systems and/or business rules.

On-Site Integration

Service Select™
MailExpress is the only vendor to provide an all-inclusive systematic solution to manage multiple service levels. You can choose which customer receives Expedited service, Priority Mail, Second Day or Overnight Express without separating packages.
