It might be easier to make a new table where you just include all zip codes. That's kind of confusing and is going to make for a formula I really don't want to try to put together. First, the table has some destination zips like '#' and some like '#-#' - so you'd have to have a little IF function to say if column B is '#' then look it up that way, but if it's '#-#' then look up in between those two numbers. What would be the best way to go about doing this? At this point it is something we are looking to do ONLY for ground shipping, but in theory, would be wanting to do for express as well (possibly have each service on a different tab?)įirst I would ask why the only options for Origin Zip are 91000-9180-19899?īut anyway if what you want to do is find the ZONE that matches the first three digits in the Origin Zip AND the first three digits in the Destination Zip, it's going to be a bit of a process. Obviously, i realize that 708 charts at 211 (+/-) lines each chart, is A LOT of data. On the spreadsheet, I have added what two of the 708 different possible zone charts would be (tab 91000-91899) and samples of what we would want the final calculations to look like (tab zone calc) Everything is based on the first 3 digits of a the Origin zip code and the first 3 digits of the destination zip codeĪ link to the spreadsheet can be found at What I want to create is the ability to type in two random zip codes in excel, and have there be a calculation done through to tell me what zone the shipment would be considered. Both UPS and FedEx have different zone charts (not provided by this tool) for air shipping and for shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.UPS and Fedex both have zone calculators available where I can type in my starting zip code, and the website will tell us based off of that initial zip what shipping 'zone' other parts of the country are in. Please Note: The zones provided by this tool are valid for USPS and, for the most part, ground shipping with UPS and FedEx. Just type the first three digits of your zip code and click the “GET ZONE CHART” button. This chart contains all of the zone numbers from any starting zip code entered.

You only need the first three digits of any zip code to make it work. Be aware, however, that the zone number is not the only factor used in calculating cost.įor your convenience, this tool generates a zone chart for any valid U.S. The farther two zip codes are from each other, the higher the zone number and, consequently, the higher the shipping costs.

There are seven different zone numbers, 2-7. The shipping zone number represents the relative distance between two zip codes, so for any two zip codes in the United States, there is a corresponding zone number. UPS, FedEx and the United States Postal Service all use shipping zones to calculate shipping costs.
