Route Test
Try it on two routes first.
2 whole USPS carrier routes in your ZIP, about 900 to 1,400 homes, with your card and nothing else on the piece. We choose the pair, from the USPS route map for that ZIP, so you do not pick them and you will not see them before you pay. Every dollar of the $1,399 comes off a bigger drop in the same ZIP, the whole card or a shared slot, booked within 90 days of the day your cards are mailed.
$1,399 for 2 carrier routes, about 900 to 1,400 homes, chosen by us from the USPS route map for your ZIP. Ships within 21 days of purchase, on a date printed at checkout. Final price shown before you pay.
What you are actually buying.
Two whole carrier routes, not a door count
USPS sells Every Door Direct Mail by the carrier route, and a route is all or nothing: every active delivery on it gets a card. So you are not buying a door count, you are buying 2 whole routes in the ZIP you name. We choose which two, from the USPS route map for that ZIP. You do not pick them, and you will not see them before you pay. Most pairs land near the middle of about 900 to 1,400 homes, and you pay the same either way.
A real drop, at a shorter run length
A real drop, not a sample. The whole front of the card is yours, edge to edge. The back carries the postal address and nothing else, so no other business appears anywhere on the piece. It is printed on the same stock, mailed on the same guaranteed date, and tracked by the same QR code as a full-size card.
The price comes back if you scale up
Every dollar of the $1,399 comes off a bigger drop in the same ZIP, the whole card or a shared slot, booked within 90 days of the day your cards are mailed. It works on any drop bigger than this one in that ZIP, including a single shared slot, and it comes off the price at checkout rather than arriving as a rebate. If it is worth more than the order you put it against, it covers that order in full and the rest stays on your account for another order until the same deadline, as credit rather than a payout. Skip the second drop and nothing happens: you keep the mailing you already paid for and the scan data it produced.
Name your ZIP
We choose 2 whole carrier routes inside it, from the USPS route map. You do not pick them.
Approve the design
Our system drafts print-ready cards from your business details. The first few designs cost nothing.
Watch the scans
Every card carries its own QR code. Scans land in your dashboard with a timestamp and a device, so the test produces a number rather than an impression.
Already sure about the ZIP?
If you already know you want the ZIP, buy the whole card and skip this. The full drop reaches every home in the zone, costs less per door, and the guaranteed ship date is the same. The Route Test is for the case where you want to see your own scan numbers before you commit the bigger budget.

How many homes does a Route Test reach?
2 carrier routes, about 900 to 1,400 homes. We cannot promise an exact number, and any company that does is guessing: USPS sells Every Door Direct Mail by the carrier route, every active delivery on a selected route gets a card, and route sizes differ. You buy 2 whole routes in your ZIP. We choose the pair, from the USPS route map for that ZIP.
Do I choose which routes it goes to?
No. We choose the pair from the USPS route map for the ZIP you name, and you will not see the route numbers before you pay. USPS sells Every Door Direct Mail by the whole route, so there is no way to buy part of one, and the price is flat whether your pair comes in at the low or the high end of about 900 to 1,400 homes.
What does a Route Test cost?
$1,399, once, with design and QR tracking included. Every dollar of the $1,399 comes off a bigger drop in the same ZIP, the whole card or a shared slot, booked within 90 days of the day your cards are mailed. There is no subscription and no second invoice.
How does the credit work?
Buy a Route Test, then book a bigger drop in the same ZIP within 90 days of the day your cards are mailed, and the full $1,399 comes off that order at checkout. The clock starts when the postcards go out rather than when you pay, because you cannot judge a drop until the scans land. It works on the whole card at any size above this one, and on a single shared slot. If the credit is worth more than the order, it covers that order in full and the rest stays on your account until the same deadline. If you never book the second drop you simply keep the first one.
Is my card the only one on it?
Yes. The whole front, edge to edge, nobody else on the card. A Route Test is a solo drop at a smaller run length, not a shared card, so no other business appears on the piece.
How fast does it ship?
Within 21 days of purchase, on a date printed at checkout. Same guarantee as a full-size solo drop, because it is the same production run at a shorter length.
Why would I buy this instead of the whole card?
Mostly you would not. If you already know you want the ZIP, buy the whole card and skip this. The full drop reaches every home in the zone, costs less per door, and the guaranteed ship date is the same. The Route Test is for the case where you want to see your own scan numbers before you commit the bigger budget.
