SAMEZIP Launches the Latest Features – Postal Code Area Surcharge Inquiry SeaPRwire

SAMEZIP Launches the Latest Features – Postal Code Area Surcharge Inquiry

San Jose, CA, July 23, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – SAMEZIP launches the latest features – zip code area surcharge inquiry. By entering a five-digit zip code, SAMEZIP.COM can determine whether a zip code belongs to UPS or FedEx system: RegularArea Surcharge;Extended Area Surcharge;Remote Area SurchargeUndeliverable For these five types of zip codes, UPS and FedEx have different ways to estimate whether a delivery surcharge is required and the amount. Generally, there is no surcharge for regular type of zip codes. UPS: Currently, in the 48 contiguous states of the United States, UPS divides the surcharge into three levels, type 2, type 3, and type 4. The three types of surcharges increase one by one(it also means different type have different cost.). There is a surcharge of $3.40 to $5.20 per package delivered for type 2 zip codes, $4.10 to $6.50 for type 3 zip codes, and $12.00 for type 4 zip codes. For e-commerce merchants, the surcharge can be predicted by determining the recipient’s zip code type in advance. FedEx: According to FedEx’s services in 2022 (including ground and express), they only have two levels of surcharges in 48 contiguous states of the United States. Packages for type 2 zip codes, have a surcharge of $3.55 to $5.20 per package, and packages for type 3 zip codes, have a surcharge of $4.10 to $6.50 per package. The FedEx system does not have type 4 zip codes. If the destination of a package is defined as a type 4 zip code in the UPS system, it’s better to use FedEx because they will define that package as a type 3 zip code, therefor it will be cheaper and it will reduce the overall cost of the package. (Assuming the sender receives the same base charges from both UPS and FedEx). USPS: Currently, USPS has no area surcharge within the 48 contiguous states. But it will incur a surcharge to packages that exceed a certain size and weight. Relatively speaking, USPS prices are more modest for local small and medium-sized packages; especially for packages sent to remote and extended areas. Based on five-digit zip codes, DDU inquiry function will be launched soon The five-digit zip code and DDU (Destination Delivery Unit) are the most important components of USPS services for the following three services: Connect Local Connect Local is latest service launched by USPS, and it’s expected to be launched in most regions by the end of 2022 ( for more details, please visit https://www.uspsconnect.com/ ). The sender only needs to deliver the package to the post office responsible for the destination zip code or use the mail carrier free door-to-door pickup, then the sender can enjoy special rates. According to the current price in 2022, a 5-pound package is only $3.95, which is a huge benefit for small and medium-sized e-commerce. Package Select DDU DDU service is the same as Connect Local, it’s also based on a five-digit zip code and DDU. The cost of this service is lower, compared to other similar services. EDDM(Every Door Direct Mail) EDDM is a local advertising mail service. The cost of each flat size mail is only $0.187 (200 pieces). This is a cost-effective way for businesses, organizations, and salespeople to do saturation mailings(do not need an mailing list) in local marketing areas. The three USPS services mentioned above are all based on five-digit zip codes and DDU and are very cost-effective. DDU is a very important piece of information (USPS DDU for both packages and mail are more likely to be 99% the same, there’s probably a less than 1% chance that it’s a different DDU.). USPS’s DDU is very important for both e-commerce shippers and consignee. From the perspective of e-commerce, if the USPS delivery service is taken advance take, the shipper can notify the recipient which the DDU is whenever the package is sent out. For the recipient, the DDU is also very important, the package problems are often the final delivery link, if the recipient know in advance, can better solve some problems. In the near future,SAMEZIP.COM will launch a DDU inquiry function soon Media Contact Brand: SAMEZIP Contact: Lucas.Zheng Email: lucas@samezip.com Website: https://www.samezip.com/ SOURCE: SAMEZIP The article is provided by a third-party content provider.

Honda Holds World Premiere of the All-new Civic Type R JCN Newswire

Honda Holds World Premiere of the All-new Civic Type R

TOKYO, Jul 21, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today held the world premiere of the all-new Civic Type R, which is scheduled to go on sale in Japan in September 2022. At the world premiere, which was held online, Honda unveiled the exterior and interior designs of the all-new Civic Type R and announced advancements made to the vehicle's dynamic performance. The archived video of the world premiere is available for viewing at the followingURL: https://youtu.be/PnkdgZHJDBo.Overview of the all-new Civic Type RGrand Concept - "Ultimate SPORT 2.0"By further advancing the concept of the predecessor model - Ultimate SPORT - the all-new Civic Type R was developed with a goal to achieve pure sports performance that attains the ultimate in speed and the joy of driving. The value proposition of the Type R is to realize both speed, which is the essential value of a sports model, and driving pleasure, which appeals to the emotion of the driver.DesignBased on the Civic Hatchback, which has been well received in the market, low & wide packaging was further pursued to elevate driving performance for the Type R model. Moreover, a forward field of vision with a wide view of the road was featured with an aim to provide information directly to the driver even while driving at a high range of speed. The exterior design team strived to create styling for both overwhelming speed and beauty. The wide fenders, which are integrated with the body, are shaped to flow beautifully from the side panels and enhance aerodynamic performance by controlling air flow that continues uninterrupted from front to rear. As for exterior color options, in addition to Championship White, which has been an iconic Type R color, Sonic Gray Pearl was newly added to the lineup. The interior design features red seats and floor carpets that lift the spirit of the occupants from the moment they open the door, and "noiseless," black-toned interior panels that enable the driver to focus on driving. The front seats are designed with a three-dimensional polyhedral form to firmly support the body so that the driver and front passenger can feel complete confidence even while driving on a racing circuit at the vehicle's full potential. Moreover, the adoption of a suede-like seat surface material with a high friction coefficient reduced body slippage in high-G situations such as cornering and sudden acceleration/deceleration.As for the meter design, in addition to the standard display, +R mode-exclusive designs were adopted. Placing the primary focus on enabling the driver to instantaneously recognize necessary information during sporty driving, including on a racing circuit, the upper part of the meter displays key information such as the engine rpm, rev indicator and gear position indicator, while the lower part functions as a multi-information display that can show vehicle information selected by the driver. By adopting an illuminated rev indicator, the driver can obtain information intuitively without keeping close watch on the indicator, along with instantaneous visual recognition of the information and a stimulating meter design. DynamicsThe development team set three goals for the dynamic performance of the all-new Civic Type R: 1) "Fastest", representing the pursuit of overwhelming speed and being the fastest FF (front engine/front-wheel-drive) vehicle by refining and perfecting every aspect of driving feel offered by the vehicle; 2) "Addictive Feel" representing the goal to achieve dynamics that make the driver feel "addicted" to driving the vehicle by offering a thrilling driving experience; and 3) "Secure Feel", representing the goal to ensure high-speed stability and a complete feeling of trust.FastestAiming to realize an all-new Type R which outperforms all previous Type R models, the 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo engine designed exclusively for Type R was further refined to achieve higher output and responsiveness to the upper limit.Addictive FeelIn addition to achieving the ultimate in speed, the development team strived to create a car that makes the driver passionate about driving the vehicle. To this end, a thrilling driving experience was pursued by refining drivability with highly-responsive handing developed with an aim to realize driving at the will of the driver, a throttle that reacts immediately to driver input, and also by further advancing a feeling of control of the 6-speed manual transmission and the rev match control system. Secure FeelOn the premise of ensuring highly-sophisticated design, aerodynamics was further advanced to achieve well-balanced downforce both front and rear and a reduction of drag. Moreover, the lightweight and highly rigid body contributes to the high stability of the vehicle at high speeds.Furthermore, through utilization of Honda LogR, which provides real-time information on the mechanical movements of the vehicle and vehicle behavior resulting from the driver's input, the all-new Civic Type R will provide the driver with enhanced driving pleasure with a sense of oneness between the driver and the vehicle, which includes the sharing of driving videos and helping the driver improve their driving skills.

Toyota’s World Premiere of the All-New Crown Series JCN Newswire

Toyota’s World Premiere of the All-New Crown Series

Toyota City, Japan, Jul 15, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - TOYOTA has unveiled the all new Crown for the first time in the world, and will release the Crown (Crossover type) as the first model around the fall of this year(1).The Crown made its initial debut in 1955 as Toyota's first mass production passenger vehicle created with Toyota's own domestic technology. The DNA of "innovation and limit-pushing" that led to the creation of the first independently developed luxury car in the early postwar period has been passed down to successive models of Crowns for the past 67 years, always pursuing new values that are one step ahead of the times and loved by many customers. However, the times have changed even faster, and the Crown has become unable to fully meet the diversifying needs of its customers, and its presence as a flagship vehicle has become less significant.In designing the new Crown, the development team thoroughly reexamined what "Crown" is, and as a result of their pursuit of a "Crown for a new era," they have created four completely new models. In addition to the Crossover type, a new style that combines a sedan and an SUV, the Sport offers a sporty driving experience with an enticing atmosphere and an easy-to-drive package. The Sedan is a new formal design that meets the needs of chauffeurs, and the Estate is a functional SUV with a mature atmosphere and ample driving space. The new series will be rolled out in about 40 countries and regions.The details of the new Crown (Crossover type) are as follows.Vehicle Outline1. The "Crown" for the future reimagined from the ground up with a high-quality minimalist designExterior Design- The stylish, coupe-like silhouette is combined with elevated styling that conveys a sense of strength, achieving both fluidity and dynamism and expressing a completely new form of a flagship vehicle for a new era.- The headlights and taillights, connected from left to right in a single straight line, and the side view that expresses sophistication through surface variation without relying on character lines, combine to create a simple yet refined and majestic design.- Large-diameter tires that break with the conventional idea of a sedan have been adopted. By applying innovations to the body structure to create an underbody that extends outward close to the sides of the body and carefully examining the balance of the spaces between the body and the tires, we have created a powerful style that is neither a sedan nor an SUV with the sense of stability representative of an elevated sedan.Interior Design- Horizontally integrating the display and operating equipment creates a functional layout that can be operated intuitively from any seat. The wrap-around form from the instrument panel to the doors also give a sense that all seats are special, enabling the driver to focus on driving and providing comfortable and enjoyable mobility for passengers.- Meticulous attention to every interior component, including the understated and welcoming decorations of WARM STEEL, an invitingly shaped and comfortable shift knob, seats that focus on instantly recognizable finishing and provide a sense of security when seated, and other features, helps create a space with a sense of quality and richness.Color Design- In terms of body colors, the newly developed "Precious Bronze" and "Precious Ray" as well as other distinctive bytone colors are coordinated to express the new Crown's transformation. A total of 12 body color and four interior color combinations offer a wide range of variations.2. Effortless and dignified driving and a comfortable ride becoming of a Toyota flagship2.4-liter Turbo Hybrid System- The hybrid system, which combines an inline 4-cylinder turbo engine that produces powerful torque even at low RPM, the latest eAxle electric powertrain that provides high driving torque, and a newly-developed bipolar nickel-hydrogen battery have been combined for the first time by Toyota. The hybrid system responds linearly to the operation of the accelerator by the driver creating a driving feel with a sense of comfortable acceleration.2.5-liter Series Parallel Hybrid System- The Crown (Crossover type) is equipped with an optimized, high-efficiency hybrid system and a newly-developed bi-polar nickel-hydrogen battery, achieving class-leading fuel economy and quietness and further advancing the high-quality and smooth driving performance distinctive of the Crown.Newly developed platform- Using a hip point higher than earlier sedans enabled through the adoption of large-diameter wheels makes entry and exit easier and allows excellent visibility. Additional space is provided above the head and to the front and rear to create a comfortable interior space with the sense that every seat is a first-class seat.- While the package prioritizes ease of entry and exit and driving, the TNGA platform provides a lightweight and well-balanced high-rigidity body. The use of McPherson struts in the front and a multi-link suspension in the rear also allows for solid straight-line stability characteristic of the Crown, agility, and a flat feeling that does not blur the line of sight. All these features along with a smooth ride with minimal vibration were pursued to achieve a comfort level that makes you want to stay in the car for a long time.3. The most advanced safety and driving support systems provide reassuring and convenient drivingToyota Safety SenseToyota Safety Sense,(2) the latest active safety package with advanced and improved functions, is standard on all Crown grades. The range of accidents it can respond to has been expanded even further, enabling enjoyable driving with peace of mind.Toyota TeammateThe new Crown (Crossover type) is equipped with Toyota Teammate, a suite of driver-assistance technologies.
