RDI™ Product

The RDI data product helps reduce shipping costs by verifying whether a delivery type is classified as residential or business. Some shipping companies charge a higher price for delivery to a residence.

By identifying residential customers, RDI helps business mailers make informed shipping decisions and allowing customers to:

• Reduce residential delivery surcharges by verifying delivery type status (residential or business) prior to shipping
• Lower shipping charges by rate-shopping for a service that meets your customer's needs based on the delivery address
• Reduce returns due to incorrect addresses by using RDI in conjunction with CASS™ software
• Enhance Customer Relationship Management (CRM) by demonstrating efficient and accurate shipping practices
• Identify shipping patterns to improve operational efficiency

RDI is a smart business choice:

• 91% of the 140 million Postal Service™ delivery points are classified as residential
• 87% of new growth in Postal Service delivery year-to-date is defined as residential

RDI is available from the Postal Service for an annual licensing fee of $300, which includes monthly updates. ZIP + 4^® products require bi-monthly updates. CASS Certified™ software is required to access the RDI data product.
