First Class Package Service Switches to Zone-Based Rates
July 10th, 2023
Domestic First Class Package is now Ground Advantage. Visit our blog for more information!
As of January 27th, 2019 USPS First Class Package Service follows zone-based pricing. Shipping rates for packages are now based on the distance your package will be traveling. Using the zip code of the packages origin and the destination zip code along with the weight of your package, the USPS calculates a zone-based rate. To determine the zone of your package visit the USPS Domestic Zone Chart. Stamps.com customers can automatically see the zone-based rate when shipping with First Class Package Service.
