Look Up USPS Carrier Routes by ZIP Code

A USPS carrier route is the group of addresses one letter carrier delivers to. Every Door Direct Mail always goes out by whole routes, so an EDDM campaign starts with finding the routes that cover the neighborhoods you want.

  1. Enter a ZIP Code or address. The map centers on that area and draws the carrier routes around it as shapes.
  2. Pick your routes. Select a route to add it to your plan, and select it again to take it off.
  3. Read the counts. Each route you pick is listed by its USPS route ID with its household count. Switch between Residential and All delivery to include the businesses on each route.

The count for each route is the number of pieces it takes to cover it, so your totals tell you how many to print.

What you can do next: your routes stay saved in this browser, so you can return to the same plan without an account. When the plan looks right, request a quote and our team will price the printing and mailing, or read about our EDDM printing and mailing.
