Need help determining postal zone

I live in zone 5. I want to mail according to the chart to a zone 1.

USPS.com tells me I'm zone 5. This is not a local zone. The destination Zip Code is not within the same NDC as the origin zip code.

What does this mean?

I have a pal for the postal shops. But, no point doing them if I can't mail to her.

I'm so confused.

Thanks, MA

You are not zone 5, the other zip is. You are always the local zone. As long as you are mailing somebody outside your NDC you are good on a Reg Box shop. On a Hazmat you must send to Zone 5 or higher. So if you put in 2 zips, yours and one other, and it says zone 5 that means the destination zip is zone 5 from you and you are good to mail for either shop.

Thank you. All but 2 shops are hazmats and in the opposite direction of where I need to fill this week.

If you tell me the first 3 digits of your zip code, I will tell you the zone that you are in. If you then look up my first three digits (080), you can verify that you are using the USPS zone finding tool correctly since we have to be in the same zone relative to each other.

Thank you. The shops along my route are al Hazmat shops, so no go.

Now if I could just figure out how to make sense of shopmetrics job board.

Edited, because I messed up my favorite quote from 'Gone With the Wind'. It has something to do with I will worry about it tomorrow.

I so rarely hear a Scarlett O’Hara reference, and now I’ve read two today plus heard another one over the weekend. One is yours, one is from my Dave Barry desk calendar, and one is from “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me” where one of the “Bluff the Listener” stories was about Vivian Leigh hiding the monkeys from the Wizard of Oz set under her skirts while she filmed Gone with the Wind next door.

Scarlett DID say “after all, tomorrow is another day.”

And sometimes it's the best way to look at a situation that only looks dire. I always feel better after I've contemplated my naval or a big nap. (Contemplation of one's naval is basically daydreaming on steroids. It's what my father called it when my brother and I would relax and stare off to whatever. It made my Dad nuts.)
