Zone 5. That's the number that matters for this lane. From our Savannah warehouse, a standard 3 lb residential parcel reaches a typical Indiana address in 3 business days at roughly $12.3. A 10 lb box runs about $18.25. These are ground-service estimates using carrier zone tables — actual cost depends on ZIP, service level, and surcharges.
Indianapolis sits at a major interstate junction. Both Edison and Savannah reach Indiana at zone 5, while Pomona ships at zone 7. Brands with heavy Midwest distribution benefit from splitting inventory east.
