Charleston is the largest city in South Carolina, about 160,000 people, with ZIP codes 294 covering the city and Charleston County, at the center of a Lowcountry metro of 850,000 that has grown by a third since 2010. The metro includes Mount Pleasant and Daniel Island, among the fastest-growing and most affluent suburbs in the Southeast; James Island, Johns Island and West Ashley; North Charleston and Park Circle; and Summerville and Goose Creek in Dorchester and Berkeley Counties. The housing is single-family on large carrier routes nearly everywhere outside the peninsula, and new mover volume is high year-round.

The peninsula, Mount Pleasant and the islands
Downtown and South of Broad are farmed from homeowner lists by value and mailed by hospitality and retail. Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms carry the metro's highest values and most of its farming. James Island, Johns Island and West Ashley are family suburbs with steady new movers. North Charleston, Park Circle and Goose Creek are dense EDDM territory. Summerville in Dorchester County is the affordable growth corridor and mails with Charleston in one campaign.
Hurricane season and delivery
Roofers, restoration contractors, adjusters and insurance agencies mail from June through November, and we hold production capacity for storm-response drops. Mail for the region is processed at the Charleston facility, and Marketing Mail entered there typically reaches Lowcountry mailboxes in three to five business days.
