Comprehensive and easy to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sherray S. | Office Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** It is simple to create an import map for your data with Mailers+4. I created it in just a few minutes and was up and running. The program is very easy to use and has all the reports you might need to do your automated mailings with USPS. Once you are set up, you can save the settings and it is even easier the next time. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** The only thing I ever have a problem with is the address field being to small on my database. That is no fault of Mailers+4, though. However, it does keep addresses with long names from passing verification due to abbreviations, etc. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Address checking makes the database we use consistent and we learn the proper way to format them to pass the USPS standards. The more addresses that pass, the less we pay for postage! ### 2. We have used Mailers +4 for years **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian T. | North American Regional Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2020 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** It is a very reliable program with frequent updates that do not break the program. We are very thankful that it keeps our 50,000 + addresses clean and accurate. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** It is not inexpensive, but it is an investment in the purity of your data. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are sending out mailings to many people including new mailing (200+ per week) and only receiving back 1 or 2 a week. Those RTS are not bad addresses for the most part. It is an overall savings to make sure that the mail gets to our target audience, ### 3. Mailer+4 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mandy J. | Graphic Designer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** It is easy to use., Instant results. Step by Step walks through. The quick download for updated USPS information **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** More tutorials on the new features would be great. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps cut down on the back and forth with the printer we use as I have already run our lists through the software and correct issues. ### 4. Great tools for any marketer! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** I work with the desktop version and frequently use the "correct address errors" tools to clean up client lists. It improves everything from NCOA and merge/purge to delivery and response rates! **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** Our larger enterprise system CASS encodes about 1%-2% more records - so many times I'll blend them and use Mailers+4 to correct addressing errors **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** As mentioned, the ability to correct uncoded records - as Mailers+4 even recommends close address matches. Once completed, we can either upload for quick NCOA processing and utilize the Dedupe tool for a final scrub of a database. ### 5. I use this regularly **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maxanne D. | Data Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** I send files for NCOA processing and it makes the update process so easy **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** I have a limit to the number of records I can send through for NCOA processing so have to break up my files into multiple files. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** My work goes much faster when I use this software ### 6. Mailers+4 helps keep our customer mailing information accurate and up-to-date **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steve D. | Business Application Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** Monthly updates are delivered on schedule and provide the latest information available for postal addresses. The process of validating addresses is simple once the application has been configured for the layout of the input data. Support has been helpful the few times they've been called upon. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** The process of configuring the application the first time proved to be challenging. There is also a rather time-consuming round trip to export data from our COTS application, import it into Mailers+4, validate the information, create the output file, and then import it back into our COTS system. It would be helpful if the Mailers+4 portions were automated rather than having to perform the steps manually. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Mailers+4 for several purposes related to addresses: confirming the correct postal address for new customers, updating location addresses for new construction, etc. Our USPS rejected mail has decreased a non-insignificant percentage since we adopted Mailers+4, and we're more confident in our customer data. ### 7. We have been using Mailers for a number of years and like it. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James H. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** Ease of use and easy updates. It quicky prints all the forms we need for the post office. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** Working with a mail list can be a bit tricky. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can easily print mail labels in presort order. We get reduced mail rates. ### 8. It's a pretty good tool for mailer de-duping and name parsing and find people in zipcode radii. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Corey R. | IT Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** It's a pretty good tool for mailer de-duping, name parsing, and for finding people in zipcode radii. Being able to import several file formats into the software in order to combine listing from the different sales that come in from all the sources the company has. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** I think the NCOA process should be included as a feature rather than separate charges. That would make the tool much more streamlined. **Recommendations to others considering Mailers+4:** It's a pretty robust tool and is relatively easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a mailer tool for combining and sorting several file formats into one. And especially the feature for grabbing numbers of customers within a specific radii area. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Pretty good tool for mailer de-duping and name parsing, and find the number of people in zipcode radii. Combining several types of maillists into one as the company uses sales from different places. ### 9. I love the software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Printing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** I like the layout of the program and that I can go down the list and work through a mailing. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** At times, it will not accept an excel file for addresses. I must save it as an MS_DOS file and then convert to a Database file. **Recommendations to others considering Mailers+4:** Great software for mailing, start to finish. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ease os doing mailings ### 10. Mailers +4 is very easy to use, the prosses of this program does what you need to do. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Diane E. | Graphic Designer and Photographer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** That my paperwork is always accurate, I don't have problems, the program makes my workflow very easy and smooth. Also, Mailers +4 is very easy to understand anyone can learn the program, and I believe that's a plus. The program has the tabs on the side with all the info you have to type in, and I basically go step by step and fill out the information that is needed. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** I wish the program would automatically update itself to the new version instead of me updating the program. But other than that I like the program, I really don't have any negative comments about this program. **Recommendations to others considering Mailers+4:** I recommend Mailers+4 for people that mail postcards, catalogs, etc. With Mailers you can do postal presort and address verification, which that's very helpful, other companies don't do both. this is why we have stayed with Mailers cause it does everything we need. It also saves you time and you don't have to sit at the post office for a long time or pay more. you can have it done right at home or at the office. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use mailers +4 for shipping catalogs, Which makes my job easy and effective. When using this program, It automatically lets me know if I have to verify an address, which is important for me, since my job requires me to send catalogs to clients, I need to make sure the clients receive the catalogs and not end up missing somewhere in the mail. So that address verification is very helpful for me. Also the postal presorting I do my self and it is always accurate when I take it to the post office, I never have a problem, the paperwork always matches my work. This program makes my job better. ### 11. Great result = saved money and delivered messages **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** We love the ability to export a list and get the results we need in order to update our distribution list and receive less mail that is returned due to insufficient addresses. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** Time it takes to process seems to be inconsistent so we process a little earlier than needed to ensure results are returned on time. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Assistance updating out of date addresses, both moved and undeliverable. ### 12. FRIENDLY USER **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** SIMPLE TO USE, EASY MAPPING OF THE FIELDS **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** WHEN YOU TRY TO RE=PRINT REPORTS IT GIVES YOU THE DEFAULT INFO **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** REMOVE DUPLICATES, address correction are the major help ### 13. Easy to use, accurate and complete **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kevin B. | CIO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** Mailers+4 is a straightforward desktop program that can be used with a minimum of configuration. Many competitors require quite a bit of fidgeting around with configs and complicated mapping files and whatnot. Mailers+4 pretty much allows you to just open a file and get started validating. The price point is very reasonable. It's pretty easy to train others how to use it as the concepts are straightforward. It includes features like name parsing that are very handy to have. Customer support is responsive and our account manager is very helpful. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** Mailers+4 is a bit dated and definitely has some validation warts. In general, the GUI framework seems a bit dated. The NCOA process is a bit clunky, involving a different program called Listware that is even more dated. There are some name sequences that seem to confuse name parsing, such as a name in last comma first order where there is a space in the last name part. It doesn't do quite as good a job of mangled address correction as newer options like SmartyStreets, which I like to use in conjunction with Mailers+4. Normally Mailers+4 is pretty fast, but sometimes it runs into a sequence of addresses with some unknown characteristic that causes it to slow way down, by factor of 10 times or more. **Recommendations to others considering Mailers+4:** Mailers+4 is very good for small to midsize mailers who need a straightforward, simple program to validate list data. It is full-featured, reasonably priced, and not overly complicated. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Mailers+4 for DPV validation, name parsing, and NCOA updates. The ability to quickly run files allows us to iteratively work on files, recovering a lot of addresses that are initially invalid. ### 14. Mailers+4 fulfills all of our address processing needs! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mary Jane M. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** Mailers is easy to use and customizable to the various formats needed for processing our data from different sources. It’s very fast compared to other options. Honestly, I have no complaints. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** Sometimes I’m unsure of the expected processing time but that seems to be more of an issue with bandwidth on our end than Mailers. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** We standardize name and address records because it’s very important for matching to prior data files and updates. We have found geographic coding such as county and congressional district helpful and gender coding is important for many of our processes. ### 15. Product works well. Updates are timely. Customer Support is very good. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Thomas T. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailers+4?** Product is simple to use and we are able to use our custom software to interface with their database. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** Does not have anywhere in the PS3600 form to allow for mailings using USPS Extra Services such as certified mailings (this is Part ^ on PS3600) **Recommendations to others considering Mailers+4:** I would recommend Mailers+4. Software is easy to use and comprehensive. Support is always available and able to answer questions in a timely manner. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allows us to do first class bulk mailings for customers sorting by zip code for monetary savings ### 16.

I enjoy using it. xxxxxxxx **Recommendations to others considering Mailers+4:** I would highly recommend Mailers+4 to anyone in need of an easy to use, robust, data-quality tool, with an infinite amount of functionality. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to assign valid Zip+4 zip codes, and test for the name and address being deliverable are the two main processes I make use of. The functionality of Mailers+4 allows me to test for the USPS Delivery Point Validation standard for deliverability. ### 17.

This saves us so much money on returned mail postage. **What do you dislike about Mailers+4?** I do not have anything at this point that I do not like other than I would like to know how to process large groups of data into the system to check the addresses. **What problems is Mailers+4 solving and how is that benefiting you?** Addresses with garbage or that are incomplete are able to be corrected so that we do not have return mail due to incomplete addresses. ### 18.
