ZIP codes with the first 3 digits between 376-379 are considered part of Zone 2. On the other hand, a shipment to a ZIP code starting with 902 would go to California and would be in Zone 8. When it comes to pricing, it would cost $9.87 to ship to Zone 2, but $14.97 to ship to Zone 8.Īs you can see, distance makes all the difference when it comes to pricing. How Does FedEx Determine Zones?įedEx determines its shipping zones according to the distance from the origin warehouse to the final destination measured in miles. If the distance from the warehouse to the customer address is farther, then it will be considered a higher zone. In the continental United States, FedEx divides its ground services (FedEx Home Delivery and FedEx Ground) into 7 different zones.

These zones are numbered 2-8.ĭue to their extremely time-sensitive nature, Express services are divided into 16 zones for even more accuracy and precision.
