To calculate postage charges with the United States Postal Service (USPS), you can follow these steps:
Determine the weight and size of your package:
USPS postage rates are based on the weight, size, and destination of your package. You will need to estimate the weight and dimensions.
Determine the shipping zone:
USPS postage rates vary based on where your package is being sent which corresponds with a "Zone". You can use the USPS website to find the correct Zone for your package. All Elevate packages are shipped from zip code 83402. The tool linked below will give you the zone based on the origin and destination zip codes.
Choose a shipping service:
USPS offers several different shipping services, but we typically ship via First Class or Priority Mail. You will need to choose the service that best fits your needs and budget. For more information about available options visit the Elevate Shipping Options article.
