Abstract: This invention provides methods, apparatus, and systems for classifying addresses. An address is evaluated based upon a postal code or standardized postal code, such as a U.S. Postal Service ZIP+4 code, serving the address. If the address cannot be classified based on the standardized postal code, the address is classified based on additional information, such as a U.S. Postal Service delivery point code. A mailer 104 may then determine whether the address is a business or residential or non-business address. Furthermore, a mailer 104 may predict when surcharges may apply and compare the rates of various carriers 106.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for manifesting mailpieces, processing mailpieces from a mail system (112), and certifying a mail system are provided. A mailpiece is received at a manifest mailing system and mailing information from the mail piece is obtained. A manifest of the mailpiece is created and the mailpiece is then delivered using the manifest. Based on a certification of the mail system, an accuracy of a portion of the manifest may be selectively determined (118). Based on the accuracy of the manifest, the mailpieces are then conditionally delivered using the manifest. To determine a certification (442), the test information may be provided to a mail system. A manifest generated by the mail system is then received. The accuracy of the manifest based on the test information is determined and a certification level is then assigned to the mail system.
