Pirate Ship verifies addresses against the USPS® address database
Automatic Address Verification: Pirate Ship automatically verifies your domestic addresses against the USPS address database (which contains over 155 million addresses, with about 1.1 million new addresses being added each year!)
Our Software Makes Adjustments: If you enter an incorrectly formatted address, Pirate Ship will automatically make minor corrections based on the information in the USPS address database.
Shipping to Unverified Addresses: If the address you enter cannot be verified, Pirate Ship will still attempt to purchase the shipping label with that address.
If either UPS® or USPS® rejects the address at that point, Pirate Ship will display the error after you complete the purchase and allow you to download a spreadsheet so you can manually correct the address and try again.
