Residential Delivery Indicator  
Lower shipping costs by avoiding residential delivery surcharges.
Unlike the United States Postal Service®, some shipping companies charge a higher price for delivery to a residence. If you are shipping to residences, you may lower costs by shipping with the Postal Service™ and avoid residential delivery surcharges.

RDI™ enabled software helps you make informed shipping decisions by identifying whether a delivery type is classified as residential or business. The RDI™ data product licensed by the Postal Service works with certified CASS™ software or an address standardization tool provider to verify delivery type status.

Get started with RDI delivery type indicator by contacting a Certified Vendor. Or find out how to license the RDI product for use with your own certified CASS™ software or an address standardization tool by contacting the National Customer Support Center at 800-589-5766.
