About the program
What is Every Door Direct Mail?
Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) in Louisville, KY 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 Louisville, without a mailing list, a bulk mail permit, or any customer data.
You select the Louisville 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 Louisville neighborhoods with your offer.

Frequently asked questions — EDDM in Louisville
How long does EDDM delivery take in Louisville?
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 Louisville routes. You choose the production time when you order, and our turnaround times page explains how it works.
What is the minimum order for Louisville 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 Louisville?
Yes. Louisville has 17 ZIP codes and 267 USPS carrier routes in our route map, and you can pick any single route inside any of them. 40214 has the most homes (19,982 across 29 routes). The map shows the address count for every route before you choose it.
How many homes are on an EDDM carrier route in Louisville?
Across the 267 Louisville carrier routes in our route map, the median route has 575 homes. The smallest route with homes has 22 and the largest 1,560, so route size matters when you budget. The route map shows the exact home and business count for every route before you choose it.
Do you handle the USPS paperwork for Louisville campaigns?
With full-service EDDM, we handle everything — USPS forms, bundling, facing slips, and delivering the mailing to USPS.
What postcard sizes work best for Louisville EDDM?
6.5 x 9 is our most popular size: it clears the USPS height rule for flats with a familiar postcard feel, and 6.25 x 9 is the classic standard. For more room, 6.5 x 12 postcards or 8.5 x 11 and 9 x 12 flyers give a bigger canvas at a higher cost per piece. Every size we offer qualifies for EDDM.
