Zone Price

What is a Zone Price?

A zone price is a rate to transport mail, cargo or freight to any location within a specified zone or region. In this sense, customers who ship goods to the zone are charged the same rate.

In the case where the shipment of goods falls outside of the zone, a different rate apply. In practice, rates/prices of shipment increase as distance increases or differs from the starting point.
