Does Pirate Ship verify addresses?

Learn how Pirate Ship validates & verifies addresses for every label you create

Updated over 3 months ago

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.
