Use Prior Range of ZIP Code

Select this check box to automatically select the previous sequential ZIP Code that most closely matches the ship zone ZIP Code. For example, if you use ZIP Codes incremented by 1000, and a customer’s ZIP Code is 91015, the system selects 91000 rather than 92000 as the previous sequential ZIP Code.

Clear this check box if you do not want to use the prior range of ZIP Codes as ship zones. Enter each ZIP Code to ship in order for the rate to be retrieved. This field is available only if the Use Ship Zone check box is selected.

Ship Weight

If you enter a "non-whole" number (for example, 1.5), any digits to the right of the decimal point are ignored. The weight entered must correspond to the weight entries in the Inventory file. This field is available only if Weight is selected in the Calculation Type field.
