Understanding the Difference

Address Change Service (ACS–a USPS product) is different than ARS (Address Resolution Service–a BCC Software product). ARS is a pre-mailing correction service that fixes problematic addresses that standard USPS tools cannot resolve.

ACS is a post-mailing notification system that alerts you when an address has changed or when mail was undeliverable. While ARS works proactively before mailing, ACS provides valuable feedback after mailing to help you maintain cleaner lists over time.
