What happens if a mailing fails the Manual Verification Record due to an error percentage of 5% or greater?

When a mailing fails the Manual Verification Record due to an error percentage of 5% or greater, it is deemed unacceptable within the verification standards set by the postal service. This means that the nature of the errors is significant enough to warrant a rejection. By maintaining high standards, the postal service ensures that only accurate and properly formatted mailings are processed. A rejection indicates that the mailing cannot be sent as is and requires correction or resubmission before it can move forward through the mailing process. This procedure helps maintain the integrity and efficiency of mail handling, as high error rates can lead to delays and lost communications.
