Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM - all addresses on a postal route receive a copy)
These 8½ x 11 Color Postcards are a great way to take advantage of the USPS "Every Door Direct Mail" service, in which a copy is delivered to every address on a postal route.
If EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) fits your needs then it is easy to figure out your mailing using the USPS route selector tool. Click this link (USPS EDDM Route Selector) to open the tool in a new window. Once you have your routes and quantities figured out you are ready to place your order.
Due to it's complete route saturation, EDDM qualifies for the lowest possible postage rates.
Standard Mail (Each piece with unique address)
If you need to target the recipients and don't want to saturate the postal route, then these 8½ x 11 postcards qualify for "Standard Mail-Flat" presorted rates with the USPS. You can send us your mail list data file along with your order and we will take care of all the necessary processing and paper work to get it out quick, with the lowest possible postage rates.
If you don't have a mail list, we can help in getting a list targeted to your prospects. There are additional fee's associated with purchasing a mail list, and once we know your needs we can supply you with an estimate of those costs.
Final postage amounts are calculated after we have processed your mail list through our system. Once that happens, we will provide you with the postage due information. Postage must be paid before we can submit your project to the US Postal System.
