[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 1883194, member: 2193"] Ask for more than a nickel from FedEx as they are asking a lot more from their customers. "Besides the rate increases, FedEx will also hike the costs of a broad range of "accessorial" charges, fees for services beyond the basic pick-up and delivery services. For example, effective this Nov. 2 FedEx Ground will impose a $110 special fee on "unauthorized" shipments, which are packages whose dimensions or combined dimensions and weight are beyond the unit's maximum handling capabilities and would be transported at its discretion. The fee is in addition to the rate charged to move the shipment, according to Shipware data. FedEx will also boost its surcharge for "oversize" shipments—packages that weigh less than 150 pounds but exceed 108 inches in length or 130 inches in combined length and girth—to $67.50 per shipment from $57.50, Shipware said. The increase, which is on top of the shipping rate, takes effect Jan. 4."
