Rates shown are KAK’s current courier rates, tracking included, with each courier’s surcharges for October 2026 as separate lines. Final label price is set at purchase from the scanned weight, dimensions and verified address.
How it works
How your label is priced
Two things you control — where the box goes and how big and heavy it is — priced on each courier's own card, plus that courier's surcharges where they apply.
Zone from the ZIP
Every ZIP maps to Zone 1–8 by distance from 77087. Houston is Zone 1, Dallas 3, Atlanta 5, Los Angeles 6, New York 7, Seattle 8.
Billable weight
The higher of actual weight and L × W × H ÷ 166. Under 1 lb by the ounce; from 1 lb rounded up to the next pound.
One cell per courier
Zone and weight pick a single price on each courier’s card. Network labels carry no fuel surcharge; DHL eCommerce adds its monthly fuel surcharge as its own line.
Extras only where they apply
Delivery-area surcharge on some ZIPs ($0.55–$2.75), $16.50 over 20 lb, $16.50 for a side over 23.6 in.
Every courier, side by side
DHL eCommerce reaches every US ZIP to 25 lb and USPS Ground Advantage to 70 lb, so ZIPs outside our network and heavier parcels are still priced.
Distance bands from 77087
Shipping zones from Houston
On the KAK parcel network, Texas and Louisiana sit in Zones 1–4, the South, Midwest and Florida in Zone 5, the coasts in Zones 6–7, the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii and Puerto Rico in Zone 8. The map shows each state's most common network zone; DHL eCommerce and USPS use the postal zone chart from Houston, and the calculator resolves the exact ZIP for each courier.
