Capabilities

- ZIP code-based filtering using basic “starts with” criteria or complex pattern matching
- Supports numerical ZIP code ranges, such as specifying rates for all postcodes within 9755-9999
- Allows setting upper and lower boundaries for price, weight, or quantity against destination rates
Shipping rates management is handled through a CSV file uploaded to the database. Shipping calculations are efficiently executed through SQL searches.
