SOA Certificate - Actionmail is a preferred SOA house by the NZ Post - ask us about this today!

The Statement of Accuracy (SOA) is a certificate showing the percentage of addresses in your mailing list or database that are valid matches against the New Zealand Post Postal Address File (PAF).

A Statement of Accuracy is valid for 12 months. Your Statement of Accuracy ID Number and % rating must be declared against all Bulk Mail lodgements on your Statement of Posting (i.e. an AR19N or Lodgement Manager Manifest).

A threshold of 85% applies to be eligible for Bulk Mail rates on the total lodgement. If you have a Statement of Accuracy of less than 85%, the difference will be charged at an applicable Letter Domestic Product (LDP) rate. For example, where a Statement of Accuracy of 80% is achieved, 5% will be charged at the LDP rate. Further pricing information, including the Non-Conformance Pricing Schedule, is available on the Bulk Mail rate cards, ask Actionmail today
