postal zone pricing

Postal zone pricing is a method used by postal services to determine the cost of sending a package based on its distance from the origin. The country is divided into zones, with the first zone typically covering nearby locations and additional zones representing farther regions. As the distance increases, so does the shipment cost, reflecting the greater resources needed to deliver farther away. This system helps ensure postage rates are fair and proportionate to the amount of work involved in delivering parcels over varying distances.
