UPS Fuel Surcharge Adjustment

UPS Fuel Surcharge Adjustment

Effective December 23, UPS will adjust its fuel surcharge tables again.

This modification will impact Domestic Ground, SurePost, and Express services.

How will this impact your cost?

Increasing the current diesel base rate from 16.25% to 17.5% allows UPS to lock in higher fuel surcharges even when diesel prices decline.

In simple terms, this will increase your shipping cost.

It is a strategic, though somewhat contentious, move.
