DSF2
Get a quote!

    DSF2 processing provides information to correct, standardize and update your address records. DSF2 is a United States Postal Service® database which allows verification of a specific delivery point. It verifies the accuracy of the addresses on your database by matching it to the exact address. If the house number or PO Box does not match the DSF2 file, it is not considered deliverable. DSF2 is more accurate than other address verification processes such as ZIP+4® that compare based on house number range because it relates to actual delivery points.

How DSF2 Works

    Your records are matched with the DSF2 file to verify addresses or identify addresses that are non-existent, incorrect or incomplete. The results of this matching process will enable you to decide which addresses are reasonably certain of delivery and which you want to eliminate. It also can correct misspelled street names and add directionals and suffixes to the addresses.

    EXAMPLES OF DSF2 MATCHING
    Client Record DSF2 Database Match Result
    121 Main Street 121 MAIN ST. Match
    142 Apple Ct Apt 2D 142 APPLE CT APT 2D Match
    81 Elm St Apt 4E 81 ELM ST APT E4 Match
    96 Cove Rd 95 COVE RD
    97 COVE RD
    No Match
    RR 7 RR 7 BOX 4 No Match
    104 Main St 104 MAN ST
    104 MIN ST
    No Match

What the DSF2 Process Does

  • Validates the incoming address as being correct (address match only)
  • Corrects ZIP™ and ZIP+4® Codes
  • Identifies non-existant and seasonal addresses
  • Distinguishes residential and business addersses
  • Provides Carrier Route Codes and Carrier Delivery Sequence Numbers. You will receive additional postage discounts if you qualify for Carrier Walk Sequence.
  • The United States Postal Service® supplies monthly updates of the DSF2 masterfile. Your file will always be current with the latest DSF2 database.

How DSF2 Saves You Money - Case Study

    A DSF2 case story:

    The records of a catalog mailer were divided into five groups by using the Anchor Deliverability Index. The index of 1 to 5 indicates the progressively reduced degree of deliverability.

    Anchor Deliverability Index (ADI) Size of the Mailing Percent of Total Mailing Percent Response
    1 2,725,162 81.60 2.12
    1 Seasonal 1,670 0.05 2.00
    1 Vacant 2,616 0.08 1.34
    2 411,914 12.29 1.60
    3 111,634 3.31 1.48
    4 52,068 1.58 1.22
    5 35,757 1.09 1.14

    Results:

    In this case, if the mailer had omitted all address in ADI 3 to 5 and 1V (list as vacant), which were well below breakeven response, it would have resulted in 6.05% lower mailing costs and a higher response rate.
