"Every Door Direct" (EDDM) Postcard Pricing

The "Every Door Direct Program" (EDDM) is ideal for targeting a Geographic Farm. It is a mailing program offered by the U.S. Post Office, at a rate of only 20 cents per delivery address!

Delivery Requirements: You must purchase an entire delivery route or combination of routes, determined by the number of addresses within those routes. The mailman will deliver your postcards "directly to every door" in his route (which is how the program got its name).

Print Specifications: The size of the postcards are 9" wide by 6-1/2" tall. They are printed full color on both sides on 14# gloss cover with a high gloss coating. Other sizes are available, just ask!

Turnaround Time: Postcards take 1 business day for art, 4 business days for printing, and 3 business days for shipping (a total of 8 business days). The postcards can be shipped to you for dropping at the post office, or you can use our optional Bundle/Delivery service (local delivery only - see details below).

How to Calculate your Printing, Postage, and Delivery Cost

STEP 1: Determine the number of postcards you need.

Go to USPS.com and sign up for an Every Door Direct account (it's free). Click the "Register/Sign in" button in the the upper right corner of the screen. Once you've created an account, click on the Business > Using EDDM page. On that page, click the blue EDDM Online Tool button. This will take you to a page where you can see the map of the US. On that page, follow these steps:

1. Enter an address or zip code that is within the area you want to reach. This will display the map for your farm area.

2. As you "mouse over" the map, each mailing route will "light up." Clicking on the route will select that route; clicking again will deselect it. You can select/deselect multiple routes to build your farm.

3. Your total addresses and estimated cost will appear in the summary window.

4. WRITE DOWN the route numbers, the total number of addresses you need, and the total cost for your postage. Now you know how many postcards to order and the cost of your postage for your farm.

5. You can SAVE your completed list by using the "Save" button.

6. NOTE: After you've ordered your postcards, we will give you the Estimated Drop Date for your order. You will return to the post office website, log-in, recall your saved list, and then schedule and pay for your mail. We will provide you with complete instructions for this step after you've ordered your postcards.

STEP 2: Add your EDDM postage cost to the printing price.

The printing prices below include art, printing, and shipping. You must order in the price breaks listed. Round up to the next highest quantity to make sure you have enough postcards for your mailing route(s).

STEP 3: Add the cost of our OPTIONAL Bundle/Delivery Service.

You can have the postcards shipped directly to you. At that point, you would create bundles of 100 postcards each, using a rubber band and Facing Sheet to create each bundle. Then you would drop off your bundles at the post office for delivery. Note: We will provide detailed instructions once you place your order.

OR you can use our Bundle/Delivery Service (available in King and Pierce Counties in Washington State). The postcards are shipped to us. We count, bundle, and drop off your postcards at the post office.
