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

Frequently asked questions — EDDM in San Diego
How long does EDDM delivery take in San Diego?
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 San Diego routes. You choose the production time when you order, and our turnaround times page explains how it works.
What is the minimum order for San Diego 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 San Diego?
Yes. San Diego has 26 ZIP codes and 733 USPS carrier routes in our route map, and you can pick any single route inside any of them. 92101 has the most homes (35,770 across 36 routes). The map shows the address count for every route before you choose it.
How many homes are on an EDDM carrier route in San Diego?
Across the 733 San Diego carrier routes in our route map, the median route has 598 homes. The smallest route with homes has 1 and the largest 2,147, 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 San Diego 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 San Diego 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.
