🚨 If you ship long and wide packages through UPS, your shipping costs just increased SIGNIFICANTLY. Earlier this week, the carrier’s updated additional handling surcharge took effect. This costly change can be easy to miss… until it hits your invoices. It’s one in a long list of bullets 129 pages deep in the carrier’s service guide. Our team of experts is here to help you determine how this #parcel #surcharge increase will affect your bottom line in 2025.

The state of parcel prices is… convoluted, to say the least. Carriers are keeping up their trend of creative, costly surcharge changes – but are engaging in unprecedented discounting, too, as each fights for their share of limited volumes. Register for the Q4 Freight Forecast #webinar, where Mingshu Bates and Andy Dyer will show how the numbers net out and help demystify an uncertain freight market future. https://lnkd.in/e2-EvTQg #ShippingCost #FreightCost #ParcelCost #FreightPrice

The UPS 2025 GRI is in! Full details are still forthcoming, but we do know that UPS is getting increasingly creative with ways to drive revenue. For one, the 5.9% rate hike goes into effect two weeks before the FedEx GRI—Dec. 23, 2024. That gap used to be just one week. Some other notable changes include: 1) Effective Oct. 21, the dimension-driven Additional Handling Charge will be subject to a minimum billable weight of 40 lbs. 2) Also on Oct. 21, Delivery Area Surcharge zip code coverage will change and zip code zone alignment go into effect, but the list has not yet been published. 3) Payment methods are a new target. Beginning Oct. 26, invoices paid by credit card will incur a 2% fee. 4) Starting Jan. 27, 2025, both the Large Package and length-plus-girth-driven Additional Handling charge will be assessed based on cubic weight, though the details on this threshold have not yet been revealed. Contact our team of #parcel shipping experts to understand how these changes will affect your spend and map out strategies to mitigate their impact. https://lnkd.in/eJZ2DvMf #Logistics #3PL #Parcel #ups
