EDDM Retail
| Piece | Price |
|---|---|
| Flats up to 3.3 oz | $0.260 |
That's the whole table. Retail has one price, no fees and no discounts for entry point.
EDDM at a BMEU
BMEU mailings pay USPS Marketing Mail commercial flat prices. The price depends on where the mail enters the USPS network. The closer to the carrier, the cheaper.
| Entry point | Flats 4 oz or less |
|---|---|
| No destination entry | $0.309 |
| DSCF (the regional processing center) | $0.268 |
| DDU (the local delivery unit) | $0.259 |
Heavier pieces
Over 4 oz, each piece pays $0.182 plus a price per pound of the whole mailing.
| Entry point | Per piece | Plus per pound |
|---|---|---|
| None | $0.182 | $0.750 |
| DSCF | $0.182 | $0.386 |
| DDU | $0.182 | $0.311 |
Fees
| Fee | Amount | Who pays |
|---|---|---|
| USPS Marketing Mail annual mailing fee | $390.00 per 12 months | BMEU mailers |
| Permit imprint application | $390.00, one time | BMEU mailers using a permit imprint |
| Anything | $0 | Retail mailers |
For comparison
| What you could send instead | Price |
|---|---|
| First-Class retail postcard | $0.65 |
| First-Class 1 oz stamped letter | $0.82 |
| EDDM Retail flat | $0.260 |
An EDDM piece costs about 40% of a First-Class postcard stamp, and it can be a much bigger piece. The trade-off is that you can't choose who gets it, and USPS doesn't guarantee a delivery date for Marketing Mail.
Run your own numbers in the cost calculator.
