Mailing, delivery & USPS
How long does USPS take to deliver my mailing?
USPS Marketing Mail — which is what EDDM is — typically takes 3–10 business days once it is in the postal system. USPS does not guarantee that window, and it starts at the Post Office handoff, not when you place your order.
USPS requirement
USPS Marketing Mail may be deferred and is expressly not guaranteed. The 3–10 business days range describes what typically happens after the handoff, not a commitment.
L&B policy
This is USPS delivery time only. It is not production time, and the two must never be added together into a single "your campaign lands on this date" number — that would manufacture a promise out of two things, neither of which is one.
If your mailing needs to land around a particular date — a sale, an opening, a season — tell us when you order. We will work backwards with you rather than after the fact.
