https://lnkd.in/gKT9KTsH A day that I predicted years ago has finally arrived, and it's only the beginning. Not content with assessing surcharges on rural deliveries, UPS and FedEx just yesterday added urban delivery charges to their portfolio of zip code based accessorial fees. Rural, super-rural, remote, and now urban. Next up? Super-urban! You laugh now (or maybe you're crying). The urban fees are meant to offset tolls incurred within city limits. But those are not the only costs that the carriers must pay. Parking tickets are a very common one (I know, because I was responsible for ensuring that they were paid in my very early UPS career). Those tickets must be paid for somehow, my friends. So the gamut of fees will run from super-urban to remote. Surely it must stop there, right? (You clearly don't give UPS and FedEx nearly enough credit). Eventually you'll see a "Delivery Fee" which will cover not only the current and future zip-based surcharges, but will be applied to EVERY package, but at differing rates like the current surcharges do now. The "zone & weight" charges that we normally think of as the shipping cost will be referred to as either "Line Haul" or "Middle Mile" (or something more clever so that it's not as painful). This will open the door to a "Pickup Fee". But wait, we already pay a pickup fee, don't we? You're paying a weekly service charge which theoretically covers a lot of territory. I'm talking about a per-package fee that will apply unless you tender your shipments to one of their depots or assigned common pickup facility. These are coming. You heard it here first.
