in reply to XML & United Parcel Service

Who is being discussed? The US postal system or the private company UPS? Personally, I do a lot of non-profit and political work that has nothing to do with business that interfaces with USPS data and it'd be sorry to miscategorize a USPS interface as a "business" thing.

    I am sorry for causing confusion. I had meant to say United Parcel Service (The commercial carrier). Your perspective concerning not-for-profit is valid and duely noted.

    I would like to know more about your experiences interfacing with the United States Postal Service (Federal). They are also on my list of interfaces to look into.

      Actually - my "interactions" are few and far between. Mostly I just parse addresses so I can cross reference people from multiple databases. Some other people have said they'd start working with the USPS's SOAP interface but I haven't seen that materialize yet.
