February 20, 2025

USPS shipping rates are based on zones, which are determined by the distance between the origin and destination ZIP codes.

How to Reduce USPS Zone Pricing Costs:

✔️ Use Zone-Skipping – Induct packages closer to the final delivery zone

✔️ Switch to Xparcel Hybrid Shipping – Dynamically selects cost-efficient carrier alternatives

✔️ Leverage Regional Carriers – For lower intra-zone rates
