How Shipping Zones Work

What are zones?

Shipping zones are based on the distance between the origin and destination ZIP codes. Zone 1 is the closest (local), and higher zones mean greater distance and higher shipping costs.

Why do zones matter?

Carriers price shipments based on zone and weight. Understanding your zone distribution helps you negotiate better rates on the zones you ship to most.

USPS vs UPS zones

USPS uses zones 1-9 (zone 9 covers US territories). UPS uses zones 2-8 for domestic ground shipping. The same origin-destination pair may have different zones across carriers.
