## Where residential charges go wrong

- Business addresses in mixed-use buildings or home offices billed as residential.
- Orders where the company name was left out, so the address looks like a home.
- A residential flag saved on a customer record in your shipping app and reused for every shipment.

## What to do

Compare the addresses billed as residential with an address-type check, and ask the carrier to review the ones that are clearly commercial. Correction Audit does this check as part of every audit.
