A global and local shipping charge system enables a seller entity or an administrator of an online marketplace to redefine customized shipping charge rates by its own customized geographic zoning. For example, the global and local shipping charge system can take some shipping charge-related information from one or more carriers, and allow the seller entity or the online marketplace to re-define or customize shipping charges based on a preferred domestic and international geographic zoning by the seller entity or the online marketplace. The redefinition of shipping charges based on the seller entity's or the online marketplace's specific circumstances may offer more cost-efficient and accurate shipping charges to customers. Examples of specific circumstances resulting in more cost-efficiency and shipping charge accuracy include the seller entity's special discount structure per customized geographic shipping zone with several carriers, and the proximity of the seller entity's shipping origination center to recipient addresses. |
