First of all, generally, you rent, not buy mailing lists. Either one time use or multi-time use (you can use as many times as you please)

Not using the rented lists right away, is a mistake.  Most lists change considerably in 30 days or less. Over a year 20% of the population may move.

Be careful about renting..

any mailing list that goes to individuals: consumer mailing lists, seniors mailing lists, residential mailing lists, homeowners mailing lists and opportunity seekers mailing lists, for example.  With 20% of the population moving every year you may get significant returns. Telephone list must now exclude the do not calls, not doing so will allow you some stiff fines. E-mail list need to br double opt-in they give permission to be mailed to.

But do expect some returns with direct mail. As often as we mail using lists, we always get returns (called ‘nixies’ in the trade) from the post office. People move, forwarding orders expire, people expire, post office boxes close, and businesses close their doors.

Mailing list management and upkeep is expensive. It takes a lot of time and labor for companies to compile, add to, clean and mail to their lists and other necessary maintenance. They also use expensive mailing list software programs which can have costly bugs of their own. Most of this is done by telephone reps.
