Incomplete or Missing Details 

Individuals and businesses often fail to provide complete address details while sending checks. Ignoring apartment numbers, suite numbers, or building names in postal addresses may confuse postal workers and send checks to the wrong addresses. PostGrid solves this problem with fuzzy matching and standardizing address inputs against the country’s official databases.

Unreadable Handwriting

Addressing mailings and checks manually can leave room for unreadable addresses on labels and envelopes. It could misroute or delay your crucial check payments. Our Print & Mail API uses automated addressing and sorting to send the checks with clear envelopes and labels.

Invalid ZIP Codes

ZIP+4 codes are essential to route your checks and mailings to the correct county, city, and state. However, users might make typographical errors when entering ZIP codes for a particular area. For example, if someone mistakenly writes “90210” instead of “90201”, it will route the check to Beverly Hills instead of Bell Gardens.

Non-Standard Address Format 

Address formats in the US might change due to street name modifications or new postal regulations. Businesses must follow the official USPS address format to ensure a smoother delivery of their checks. PostGrid cross-verifies your postal addresses against the USPS database to standardize them before dispatching your checks.

Incorrect Placement of Return Address 

The return address must be present on the envelope or label to bring back the check if it cannot be delivered to the intended recipient. Many people either place the return address in inconspicuous places or forget about it altogether. PostGrid automatically adds the return address to the envelopes after printing the checks.
