Zip Zone Changes
From time to time, the USPS will make changes to ZIP Codes and Zones. It is important that you update your meter whenever there is a change.
The USPS® Zone Charts Matrix helps you apply the proper postage rates to a mail piece.
Postage rates for zoned mail are calculated based on the mail piece weight and the distance the mail piece travels. The matrix determines the distance a mail piece travels based on the first three digits of the ZIP Code™ you are mailing from (origination) and the ZIP Code you are mailing to (destination).
