What is Ancillary Service Endorsement (ASE)?
The Ancillary Service Endorsement (ASE) is the service offered by the United States Post Office that will send a customer back the mail that was either not deliverable or has a new forwarding address. This service is also known as “Address Service Requested” which is the phrase that is physically printed on each piece of material before the original mailing. While the ASE is a useful and functional service to request for your mailings there are also hidden fees from the USPS that are involved with this service that may later affect your budgets bottom line. Alamo Mailing would like for our customers to consider the National Change of Addresses (NCOA) service for the very reason the possible hidden fees. Please see the information about NCOA in the FAQ area of our website.
