Key Takeaways for Your Shipping
- The “1 lb Jump”: Notice that Ground Advantage is significantly cheaper for items under 1 lb (4, 8, 12 oz). Once you hit 1 lb, the price gap between Ground and Priority narrows, especially for closer zones.
- Zone Logic: Because Lenexa is in the center of the US, you will rarely hit “Zone 8” (the most expensive continental zone) except for the very edges of the Pacific Northwest or Maine. Most of your shipments to major US cities will fall into Zones 3–6.
Note: USPS rates are rounded up to the nearest ounce for Ground Advantage and the nearest pound for Priority Mail. A 13 oz package is billed at the 1 lb rate.
