Questions to Ask When Evaluating Carrier Routes

• Do the boundaries enclose the actual Carrier Route areas? (Important if accuracy matters.)
• Are the Carrier Routes validated using the CASS Certification process? (Important to direct mailers!)
• Are the Carrier Routes updated monthly? (USPS data is updated monthly.)
• Does the database accurately place addresses in the correct Carrier Route? (ZCM is the only source that does.)
• Do boundaries follow the street centerline, even when both sides of the street are delivered by the same Carrier? (The simpler methodology used by other companies creates a less accurate approximation of the Carrier Routes.)
