Why our data is different:
We insist on quality! In the zip code
/ postal code arena, there is our premium data and there are U.S. Postal
Service generic copies. What's the difference?

We manually verify our data! We
have spent thousands of hours manually verifying our zip codes and related
data to ensure that it is the most accurate data possible! Government
data, which others sell, is often outdated, inaccurate and not suited
for many commercial applications. We standardize the spelling of our
place names. For instance, in the USPS file, they will have ST
THOMAS in one place and SAINT THOMAS in another.
Our Latitude / Longitude points are
precise! Zip code data boundaries change! We regularly check our
coordinates to ensure that they are true centerpoints. Most competitors
just use government data. If you've already purchased a
competitor's latitude / longitude product, go to our download
page for our GeoCount tool which will compare their data to ours!
100% money back guarantee -- you
can't go wrong!
We only charge you for the data you
want! You can choose the base product and only the add-ons you want.
We have a custom data extraction tool that lets you extract only what
you want.
We dont give you extra records
with misspelled names in them! Our Pro-Zipcode Deluxe product has
alternate city names (because zip codes can cross city boundaries).
The generic copies have about 76,000 records with alias
records which normally are intentional misspellings of valid city names.
For instance, 17702, the USPS has some of the following city names:
S WILLAMSPOR, S WILLIAMSPRT, SWMSPRT for South Williamsport.
For 41465 (Salyersville, KY), they have 25 different entries! This is
not what you want for your zip code data!
We update our data about every 2 months.
Once a month is too often and quarterly isnt enough for most businesses.
We manually verify our zip codes, area codes (because of splits) and
other data every release as well.
We notify you when new versions are
available. We will e-mail you when a new version is available.
Company History:
Established in 1992,
we started selling just a simple 5-digit zip code file over the Internet.
We were the first to sell zip code data on the web! We quickly received
requests for additional countries and add-on products. Soon, data products
and related tools and services became our only business.
Today, we have thousands of clients, from small
businesses to many of the Fortune 500 companies (including over
half of the Fortune 100!). They rely on our data. We strive
to ensure the best data possible!
