# How to Minimize Misdelivered Packages

Every day over 500 million packages are sent in the US. In order to arrive at the 150 million addresses of those customers, the contact information noted on those packages must be accurate. This is where address validation is crucial to your business to ensure the packages arrive at their destination.

At EasyPost we are more than a multi-carrier API and understand the importance of validating the address of the destination and is why we have created an address verification API to ensure that your customers have a positive experience and receive their packages at their correct destination.

Check out our simple documentation for [Address Verification](/content/address-verification-guide/index.html).
