What Is Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)?
Every Door Direct Mail is a USPS program that lets any business mail full-color EDDM postcards and mailers to every address on selected carrier routes — no mailing list, no postage permit, no minimum purchase required. You simply choose the zip codes and neighborhoods you want to target, print your mailers, and USPS delivers to every door on those routes.
EDDM is one of the most cost-effective ways for local businesses to reach a large number of households. At $0.247 per piece in postage (2026 USPS rate), it costs far less than first-class mail — and because it's saturation marketing, you don't need to spend time or money building or buying address lists.

EDDM Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a mailing list for EDDM?
No. EDDM delivers to every address on the carrier routes you choose, so there's no need to purchase or manage an address list. Use the free USPS EDDM mapping tool to browse routes and estimate delivery counts before ordering.
What's the difference between EDDM Retail and EDDM BMEU?
EDDM Retail is designed for small businesses — you drop off mailers at your local post office with no permit or account required. EDDM BMEU (Business Mail Entry Unit) is for larger campaigns (5,000+ pieces) and requires a USPS mailing permit. TheFlyerLab handles print-only orders for both; you handle the USPS drop-off.
How long does EDDM printing take?
TheFlyerLab prints and ships EDDM mailers in 3–4 business days. Shipping typically adds 1–5 business days depending on your location.
What cardstock does TheFlyerLab use for EDDM?
EDDM mailers are printed on 16pt C2S cardstock with your choice of finish — UV Gloss, Matte, or UV Front Only.
Can TheFlyerLab mail my EDDM pieces for me?
TheFlyerLab provides print-only EDDM service. Once your mailers are printed and delivered to you, you take them to your local post office with USPS EDDM Retail facing slips and pay postage at the counter. This is typically the fastest and most cost-effective option for small to mid-size campaigns.
How much does EDDM postage cost?
EDDM Retail postage is $0.247 per piece (2026 USPS rate). On a 1,000-piece campaign, that's $247 in postage — far less than standard first-class rates of $0.78/piece.
