The first three digits of the addressee’s ZIP Code are known as the prefix (the sectional center facility of address). For example, the prefix for ZIP Code67679 is 676.
2. Contact your local post office and obtain an Official Zone Chart for determining Zones.
3. Locate on your Official Zone Chart the first three digits (prefix) of the ZIP Code of the mailing address. The Zone number appears to the right of the prefix.Notice that consecutively numbered prefixes having the same Zone number are frequently grouped together.
4. Using this Zone number, refer to Rate tables below and compute postage based on weight of package and the rate categories.

1. First, address yourself to addressing. To assure speedy delivery, always use ZIP™ Codes and make sure the address is legible, correct and complete, including street and number. Remember to use your ZIP™ Code on the return address, too, so undeliverable mail can be returned to you promptly. Note that sharp, clear addressing is a must for mail that’s “read” by optical scanners.2. Watch your weight. A truly accurate mailing scale is essential for all mailers – large and small. Otherwise, you run the risk of under-payment of postage – resulting in delayed mail and the irritation of important customers who may have to pay for “Postage Due.” And of course, overpayment costs you money. So it pays to be precise.3. Mail early and often. Since most post offices receive 75% of their mail in an end-of-day-avalanche, you can give your mail and the post office a big break by mailing at intervals during the day…10, 12, and 3 o’clock, for example. By avoiding the 5 o’clock rush, your out-of-town mail can often catch earlier transportation… frequently saving you a day or more in delivery time.
