Shipping zones are based on the distance a package travels from origination to the final destination. Zones are geographic regions that carriers use to calculate shipping times, and ultimately the price to ship a package. Shipping costs for ecommerce parcels shipped within the US are determined by two factors: the zone number you are shipping to, and the weight of the parcel. UPS Ground is one of the many ways UPS can ship your product. UPS Ground is the most common shipping method with UPS and used for ground transportation to deliver packages. UPS Ground is the most economical transportation method, but there’s faster, more expensive options (3-Day Select, 2nd Day Air, Next Day Air for example are faster, but more expensive). It’s also frequently used for hazmat products that cannot be shipped via air transportation.
