Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina and the center of the Research Triangle, about 480,000 people, with ZIP codes 276 covering the city and Wake County, in a combined metro of 2.4 million with Durham and Chapel Hill. Wake County has been one of the fastest-growing counties in the country for twenty years, and the housing shows it: single-family subdivisions on large carrier routes across North Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Wake Forest and Morrisville, with the older neighborhoods of Five Points, Cameron Village and Oakwood inside the beltline.

The Triangle mails through growth. New mover programs here reach thousands of households a month; real estate teams farm Cary, Apex, North Raleigh and the inside-the-beltline neighborhoods; home services companies mail homeowner lists across Wake County; the universities, hospitals and technology employers mail consumers, students and businesses nationally; and the restaurants, dental practices, private schools and nonprofits mail the county the way businesses do everywhere.

Who mails in Raleigh?

Heating and cooling, roofing, gutters, pressure washing, landscaping, pest control and pool companies; real estate agents and teams; restaurants and breweries mailing EDDM; dental, orthodontic and medical practices; private schools and tutoring; the region's universities, hospital systems and nonprofits; auto dealers along Capital Boulevard and US-1; and the technology, pharmaceutical and research employers of the Triangle.

Inside the beltline, Cary and the towns

Five Points, Cameron Village, Hayes Barton and North Hills are farmed by agents from homeowner lists by value. North Raleigh and Brier Creek are large suburban routes. Cary, Apex, Morrisville and Holly Springs to the west carry high values and most of the farming; Wake Forest, Knightdale and Garner are growing suburbs with steady new movers. Durham and Chapel Hill mail with Raleigh in one Triangle campaign.

Seasons and delivery

Air conditioning and pest control offers mail in April, roofing after spring storms, heating in October, and new mover programs peak from May through August. Mail for the region is processed at the Raleigh facility, and Marketing Mail entered there typically reaches local mailboxes in three to five business days.
