This charge is often seen as a cost of doing business. Today, it's an unwelcome expense that should absolutely be on your radar. Every operational cost reduction counts, and using an address verification service can be an easy win for your organization.

By making sure that your parcels are delivered the first time, no-one needs to go to a parcel shop or depot to pick it up. This means deliveries are more time-efficient, social distancing guidelines are observed and drivers and customers stay safe.
