A Delivery Area Surcharge (DAS) is an extra fee carriers charge for deliveries to remote or less accessible locations.
How DAS Fees Are Calculated:
- Based on ZIP codes identified as "remote" or "difficult to access."
- DAS applies to both residential and business addresses.
- May be combined with Extended DAS (EDAS) fees for extremely rural locations.
How FirstMile Helps Avoid DAS Charges:

📦 Zone-skipping to move packages closer to final delivery.
💰 Dynamically selects alternative carriers to minimize surcharge impact.
