[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1322996, member: 29298"] I read what I could of the link provided here. Was later directed to the presser and now understand in full, thanks. Oh it's a change worth noting for sure, but we can talk all day about tons of accessorials carriers have and how they go up each year, we rework the #'s every year to set our calendar pricing. This is news, I just read the majority of first replies here as if "Dim Weights Didn't Exist for Ground" hence the Thread title "[SIZE=4][B]FedEx to add dim weight charges to Ground packages"[/B]. I wanted to differ as they have been all along, just new rules added. Or replies that this is a scam, i[/SIZE]friend one can say it is, then many accessorials are, in every industry etc. Now if the accessorials didn't go up, then the base price would and that would affect everyone instead of just shipments that meet a certain criteria. I did read some of the replies as "bitter", but that is common here. Lets take a 2x10x12 package it would now dim rate at 1.44 lbs round up to 2 lbs on the bill because these "scam companies", round any decimal point up to the next pound, not just .5 or greater. So if that package with those dims was under 1 lb prior, it will now be a billed as a 2 lb'er. Now how many packages and how much more is that cost and how does this upset the economics of shipping? We'll have to see... [/QUOTE]
