About the program

What is Every Door Direct Mail?

Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) in Milwaukee, WI 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 Milwaukee, without a mailing list, a bulk mail permit, or any customer data.

You select the Milwaukee 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 Milwaukee neighborhoods with your offer.

With EDDM2GO Full Service, we print your mailers, sort them by carrier route, and deliver them to USPS on your behalf. You go from artwork to Milwaukee mailboxes without leaving your desk.

What is the minimum order for Milwaukee 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.
