I'm looking to do something similar. Is the integration with USPS for
address verification a customization, or is it available in standard OfBiz?

Thanks

it is a customization. I did it with Ver 3.0.
The Walk route list is a subscription for the USPS.

there are a couple of approaches.
1) verify while customer is placing order.
2) verify after order is placed and before order is shipped.

I did #2.
