About the program
What is Every Door Direct Mail?
Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) in Charlotte, NC is a USPS marketing program that delivers printed mailers to every address on selected carrier routes — no mailing list, postage permit, or customer data required.
Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) is a USPS marketing program that lets any business — large or small — deliver mail to every address along a carrier route in Charlotte, without a mailing list, a bulk mail permit, or any customer data.
You select the Charlotte ZIP codes and carrier routes you want to reach, and USPS delivers to every residential and business address on those routes. EDDM postage is well below standard first-class rates, which makes it a cost-effective way to cover Charlotte neighborhoods with your offer.

Frequently asked questions — EDDM in Charlotte
How long does EDDM delivery take in Charlotte?
USPS delivers EDDM on each route's normal mail days after the mailing is dropped off; USPS does not commit to a specific delivery day. After your artwork is approved, we give you a mail date plan for your Charlotte routes. You choose the production time when you order, and our turnaround times page explains how it works.
What is the minimum order for Charlotte EDDM?
A Full Service mailing is at least one carrier route, and every route is mailed in full; the route map shows each route's address count before you pay. For Print Only, USPS EDDM Retail asks for at least 200 pieces per ZIP code per day when you drop off at the Post Office.
Can I target specific zip codes in Charlotte?
Yes. Charlotte has 21 ZIP codes and 557 USPS carrier routes in our route map, and you can pick any single route inside any of them. 28269 has the most homes (37,711 across 47 routes). The map shows the address count for every route before you choose it.
