What is the Dumb Tax™ E-Commerce Zone Map?

It’s an interactive map that lets you see how shipping zones impact your parcel costs. Hover anywhere in the U.S. and watch zones shift—showing where Dumb Taxes™ quietly eat into your margins.

How does this help reduce my shipping costs?

By visualizing where your orders fall across shipping zones, you can plan smarter fulfillment locations or switch to optimized parcel tiers. Many brands cut $1–$2.50 per package without changing carriers.

Does this work for all carriers?

Yes. The map represents general distance-based zones used by major U.S. carriers like DHL eCommerce®, UPS®, and FedEx®. It’s meant for education and planning, not exact rate quoting.

Why don’t Alaska and Hawaii appear on this map?

Alaska and Hawaii fall under special zones beyond Zone 8 due to distance and access costs. They’re excluded here to keep focus on the lower 48 states where most ecommerce shipments occur.

What’s the next step after viewing my zones?

Zones are approximate distance bands for education & planning (not a literal carrier map). Moving origin toward the Midwest collapses the map into lower zones — that’s why a central node + smarter tiers kills the Dumb Tax™.
