Stop! Are you still using zip codes for delivery fees!
Did you know that a zip code is a postal carrier’s route to drop off mail and is not necessarily a geographic area? Some buildings in New York City have their own zip codes. No two zip code routes are identical and some are really long to traverse as much as 50 miles or more.
