Services

1. Provider/Service Information

When interacting with eHub’s shipment services, two primary fields are essential:

• service_id: An integer that helps identify the service and is required when creating a shipment.
• package_type: An array that lists the supported package types for each service. Use the package_types[i].type value when submitting requests to ensure you're selecting the correct package type.

Key Points:

• Some services include predefined package types (e.g., large envelope, parcel, letter, softpack).
• If no package types are listed for a service, it defaults to the "parcel" package type. This occurs for services like UPS Express and ExpressPlus.

2. USPS Zone Information: Find Zone Endpoint

The Find Zone endpoint helps retrieve USPS zone information based on the provided "to" and "from" postal codes. This is essential for determining the shipping zone for a specific USPS service depending on the origin and destination locations.

Key Points:

• You can retrieve zone information using postal codes.
• This helps optimize shipping decisions by determining the correct zone for your shipments.

Example Parameters:

• from_zip: Origin postal code.
• to_zip: Destination postal code.
