*Ballpark postage to reach every residential delivery point in the ZIP at the EDDM Retail rate of $0.245 per piece — the same 2026 ballpark our EDDM cost calculator uses. Postage only; printing is separate. Most campaigns mail a few chosen routes, not the whole ZIP.

About these numbers: counts come from the USPS EDDM tool (residential carrier routes per ZIP), retrieved August 2026. USPS adjusts routes continually, so treat them as planning numbers and confirm your exact routes in the tool — or send us the map and we will do it with you.

Good to know

Using these counts

EDDM works route by route: you pick the carrier routes, and your piece goes to every address on them — no mailing list needed. We design the piece, print it, and handle the USPS paperwork: mailing services.

What is a carrier route?

One mail carrier's daily loop — typically a few hundred addresses. EDDM is bought by the route: pick the routes that cover the neighborhoods you want, and your piece goes to every door on them. That is why the route count matters as much as the total: it is how finely you can slice a ZIP.

Do I have to mail the whole ZIP?

No — and you usually should not. Most local campaigns pick the handful of routes nearest the business and mail them more than once, rather than blanketing the ZIP once. The whole-ZIP postage column is there to bound the budget conversation, not to recommend it.

Why do the counts change over time?

USPS redraws routes as neighborhoods grow — and in fast-growing places like St. Michael, Otsego, and Albertville they do grow. Check the live numbers in the USPS tool when you finalize a drop; we do the same before any campaign we run.

What does an EDDM piece have to be?

A “flat” by USPS rules — in practice, an oversized postcard. Size rules are specific, so run yours through the mailer size checker or start from our EDDM postcard specs. Then it needs the EDDM indicia, route bundling, and the paperwork — which is the part we handle.
