What Is Zone Skipping and Why It Matters
Zone skipping means grouping packages by region, then transporting them in bulk to a destination hub close to customers. Once they arrive, carriers handle local delivery — saving both money and time.
How Zone Skipping Works
- Orders are consolidated at TCB Global’s fulfillment centers.
- Bulk shipments move by truckload or LTL to regional hubs.
- Parcels enter carrier networks closer to end customers.
The Benefits
- Reduced shipping costs from fewer zones.
- Faster transit times with local delivery.
- Better tracking through TCB’s WMS.
- Lower carbon footprint from optimized routes.
Why Location Matters
With fulfillment centers in Orlando and Las Vegas, TCB Global helps brands reach both coasts efficiently. Orlando’s I-4 corridor connects the Southeast and Caribbean, while Las Vegas provides access to West Coast and Mountain markets.
Industries That Benefit Most
- Ecommerce and retail
- Subscription services
- Health and wellness
- Apparel and accessories
Conclusion
Zone skipping isn’t just for enterprise shippers; with TCB Global’s national network, even growing brands can access cost-efficient, fast, and sustainable delivery solutions.
