Address Verification

Our international address confirmation service has the power to analyze and correct addresses from numerous foreign countries, including those that U.S. companies mail to most frequently. Using this state-of-the-art system, we process your address file, performing steps such as correcting misspellings, inserting missing information and formatting addresses according to international mailing standards. You receive a detailed report so you can update your database and avoid unnecessary international postage costs.

File Management

To keep your address data and lists up-to-date and avoid the cost of wasted international postage, Global Mail offers extensive merge-and-purge services. Our software can quickly scan through thousands of addresses in your database to eliminate duplicates and filter out any that have been determined undeliverable locations. We can also perform database splits on your files as needed.

Fulfillment Services

Fulfilling product information requests is an important—and sometimes challenging—part of many businesses, but handling large volumes in a timely manner is simple with Global Mail. We expedite your requested literature fulfillment, warehousing your materials and providing services such as pick-and-pack, personalization, labeling, folding, tabbing, sealing, polywrapping and inventory management.

Tracking

Follow your international parcels from door to door with Track & Trace, Global Mail’s service that combines tracking visibility with delivery confirmation. From the second they leave your hands to the moment they reach the final destination, you and your customers can stay informed about shipments throughout their journey—and you can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing they’ve arrived safely. Track & Trace offers full tracking visibility to many major international destinations including the U.K. and Japan (see “Special Routing Services” on this page).

Response & Return

For your business reply mail, Global Mail can provide pre-franked postcards and set up a post office box in the destination country to receive responses, giving you a local presence. If we receive returns marked as undeliverable, we can dispose of the shipment within the destination country or transfer it back to you free of charge. We’ll also provide any address updates available to help you avoid the expense of wasted international postage.

Service Disruption Alerts

If a natural disaster or other unforeseen event occurs that could affect your mail delivery, we can inform you in a variety of ways. For example, you can subscribe to the “Global Mail Observer,” our free e-newsletter, for updates on potential trouble spots worldwide. In worst-case scenarios, if a significant situation may cause more than a small delay, Global Mail will contact you proactively to keep you informed.
