How it works

How your label is priced

Two things you control — where the box goes and how big and heavy it is — plus a small surcharge on a minority of addresses.

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 on the card

Zone and weight pick a single price from the rate card. That is the label price — no fuel surcharge on top.

Extras only where they apply

Delivery-area surcharge on some ZIPs ($0.50–$2.50), $15.00 over 20 lb, $15.00 for a side over 23.6 in.

Off-network → USPS

ZIPs outside our network, parcels over 30 lb or oversize boxes price automatically on USPS Ground Advantage (to 70 lb).

Packaging decides the bill more often than distance. A 5 lb item in a 14 × 12 × 8 in box bills at 9 lb (dimensional weight 8.1 lb); the same item in a 12 × 10 × 8 in box bills at 6 lb. Enter your dimensions and see the difference before you order cartons.

A parcel on a digital shipping scale next to a tape measure — actual weight versus dimensional weight — Billable weight = the higher of actual and L × W × H ÷ 166

Distance bands from 77087

Shipping zones from Houston

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 zone; the calculator resolves the exact ZIP.

Questions sellers ask

Shipping calculator FAQ

How does the shipping calculator work out my rate?

Three inputs decide the price: the zone of your destination ZIP (1 to 8, by distance from Houston 77087), the billable weight of the parcel (the higher of actual weight and dimensional weight), and any delivery-area surcharge attached to that ZIP. The calculator reads the same rate card printed on this page, so the number you see is the number you would be billed for that label, before any final weight correction at label purchase.

Is the origin always Houston, TX 77087?

Yes. Every parcel priced here ships from the KAK Sourcing & Fulfillment warehouse at 6117 Long Dr, Houston, TX 77087, so the calculator locks the origin and only asks for the customer’s destination ZIP. Orders received by 2pm CT, Monday to Saturday, leave the same day.

What if my customer’s ZIP code is not covered?

Every US ZIP gets a price. Our regional parcel network covers 10,150+ ZIP codes across 45 states, Washington, DC and Puerto Rico, concentrated in metro and suburban areas; Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia and rural ZIPs elsewhere are not on it. For those the calculator switches automatically to USPS Ground Advantage at commercial pricing — the rate our shipping platform (ShipStation) applies to every USPS label we print — using the USPS zone chart from 77087. It is the average USPS rate for that zone and weight; the exact figure is set when the label prints.

What are the maximum weight and size?

On our regional parcel network: up to 30 lb billable weight, longest side no more than 35.4 inches, length + width + height no more than 59 inches. Parcels between 20 and 30 lb pay the 20 lb rate plus a $15.00 overweight fee; a box with a side over 23.6 inches pays a $15.00 oversize fee. Anything heavier or larger is priced automatically on USPS Ground Advantage, which takes parcels to 70 lb and 130 inches of length plus girth. Beyond that it is freight, quoted individually.

Does dimensional weight apply?

Yes. Dimensional weight is length × width × height in inches divided by 166, and the label is priced on whichever is higher, actual or dimensional weight. A 12 × 10 × 8 inch box has a dimensional weight of 5.783 lb, so a 5 lb item in that box is billed at 6 lb. Add your box dimensions in the calculator to see the effect before you choose packaging.

How long does delivery take?

Zones 1–2 typically deliver in 2–3 days, Zones 3–4 in 4–5 days, Zones 5–6 in 5–6 days and Zones 7–8 in 6–7 days, counted from carrier pickup. USPS Ground Advantage labels typically deliver in 2–5 business days. These are carrier transit estimates, not guaranteed delivery dates; every label is tracked door to door.

Can I ship to PO Boxes or military addresses?

Yes, through USPS. Our regional parcel network does not deliver to PO Box or APO/FPO/DPO addresses, so those orders are routed to USPS Ground Advantage at fulfillment automatically, whatever the ZIP, at the USPS rates shown on this page. If the ZIP you enter is on our network, the calculator shows the network rate; a PO Box at that ZIP will ship USPS at the USPS rate for the same zone and weight.

What can’t ship on this service?

Alcohol, tobacco and vape products, medicines and medical devices, perishable or temperature-controlled food, live animals and plants, cash and high-value goods such as jewelry, and regulated hazardous materials including standalone lithium batteries are prohibited. Restricted goods such as perfume, aerosols, nail polish, household chemicals and shelf-stable packaged food can ship only with prior approval and compliant packaging, so tell us what you sell before your first inbound.

Is the calculator price the final price I pay?

It is the current published rate for the weight, dimensions and ZIP you entered, valid as of September 2026 and inclusive of tracking, with no fuel surcharge on network labels. USPS figures follow USPS Ground Advantage commercial pricing effective July 2026 and are refreshed when USPS publishes new prices. The final charge is set when the label is purchased, from the scanned weight and dimensions and the verified address, so a box that turns out heavier or larger than entered will be billed at its true band. Rate changes are announced to clients before they take effect.

What happens if a parcel is lost or damaged?

Every label is tracked. If tracking stops for more than 10 days the parcel is treated as lost, and confirmed loss or transit damage is compensated for the shipping cost plus the declared value, up to $100 per shipment, with claims filed within 30 days of shipment. For higher-value items we recommend our national carrier accounts with declared-value insurance — ask when you request a quote.
