The USPS utilizes zone-based pricing for all Retail Ground package shipping. There are 9 zones in the U.S. and prices are based on the distance from the original package location to the delivery destination. Prices are $6.75 and up for a one pound package. Also, Retail Ground is subject to USPSâs balloon pricing. The USPS can charge you extra if your parcel weighs less than 20 pounds, but measures between 84 and 108 inches in length and width. USPS will allow you to buy most of its additional services to monitor your Retail Ground package.
