What it costs in Houston
The same price in Houston as in every other city
USPS postage is the same per piece to a Houston address as to any other. EDDM row shown with $0.26 EDDM Retail postage; the others with $0.395 Marketing Mail. Every size and quantity is on the pricing page.
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the country and, by land area, one of the biggest: about 2.3 million people inside the city and 7.5 million in a metro that stretches from Katy to Baytown and from Galveston to Conroe. ZIP codes 770 through 772 cover the city and most of Harris County. With no zoning and decades of suburban growth, the housing is overwhelmingly single-family on carrier routes of 400 to 800 homes, which makes Houston one of the best EDDM markets in the country.
It is also one of the busiest. Home services companies mail year-round in a climate where air conditioning is not optional; roofers mail after every hail season; real estate agents farm master-planned communities from Cinco Ranch to The Woodlands; medical practices around the Texas Medical Center and in every suburb mail new patient offers; restaurants mail menus in English, Spanish and Vietnamese; and the energy, legal and financial firms downtown mail businesses across the region.
Who mails in Houston?
Air conditioning and plumbing companies lead, followed by roofing, foundation repair (Houston clay soils make it a category of its own), pest control, lawn care, pool service and window replacement, all mailing by home age and value. Real estate teams farm the suburbs where turnover is high. Dental and medical groups, urgent cares and med spas mail by household. Restaurants use EDDM heavily. Churches, private schools and nonprofits mail their communities, and the city's car dealerships run some of the largest sales event mailings in Texas.
Suburbs, master-planned communities and storms
Houston's master-planned communities, including The Woodlands, Cinco Ranch, Sienna, Bridgeland and Sugar Land's neighborhoods, are ideal farming and EDDM territory: uniform housing, high owner occupancy, predictable turnover. After hurricanes, floods and hail, the city's roofers, restoration companies and public adjusters mail the affected ZIP codes within days, and we hold production capacity for storm-response drops during the season.
Language and delivery
Harris County is majority Hispanic and has large Vietnamese, Chinese and South Asian communities; Spanish and Vietnamese versions of a mailing are routine for restaurants, retail and services in the relevant routes. Mail for the metro is worked at the North Houston facility, and Marketing Mail entered there typically reaches Houston-area mailboxes in three to five business days.

Answers
Direct mail in Houston: questions people ask
How much does EDDM cost in Houston?
EDDM Retail postage is $0.26 per piece in Houston as everywhere. A 6.25×11 EDDM postcard printed, bundled and delivered to the post office costs about $0.40 per piece at 5,000 pieces, or about $2,000 for 5,000 homes in Katy, Cypress or Clear Lake.
Can you mail Houston neighborhoods after a storm?
Yes. Send us the affected ZIP codes or routes and a storm-response postcard can be printed and entered within two business days. Roofers, restoration companies and adjusters mail these drops every hail and hurricane season.
Do you mail the whole Houston metro or just the city?
Both. One campaign can cover Houston, Harris County and the surrounding counties (Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston) with routes or lists in each, entered together.
