# Ship once, to the right place

Avoid missed dates and correction fees by validating addresses before shipping.

#### Reduce return-to-sender costs

Identify and correct invalid addresses to cut down on failed deliveries, return fees, and reshipping expenses.

#### Enhance customer experience

Ensure orders arrive on time to improve customer satisfaction and reduce the need for costly support inquiries.

#### Streamline warehouse operations

Prevent mislabeled packages from slowing down your print-and-apply and packing processes.

## Validate addresses at entry, prevent errors upon delivery

Use Shipium as your first line of defense against delays and errors. By incorporating our Address Validation API into your workflow, you can prevent failures before they happen.

### Integrate and automate address verification

Call our API using destination addresses to get a clear valid or invalid status, along with a candidate address and detailed error codes to help you pinpoint and fix issues instantly.

- Get a clear valid or invalid status on every address
- Receive detailed error descriptions for quick resolution
- Access a full candidate address to correct errors on the fly

### Align with your workflow

The Address Validation API is designed to suit your workflow — call it whenever it makes the most sense within your process. Examples include:

**From your OMS:** Validate addresses as soon as a customer submits an order  
**From your WMS:** As orders are packed and labeled, your WMS can make a final API call to confirm the address is deliverable
