Delivery Area Surcharge

[Babagounj]

FedEx, UPS adding delivery fees in parts of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago

The surcharges from both carriers will take effect this month in 82 ZIP codes across the U.S., many covering major urban areas.

The DAS ranges between $3.95 and $5.85 for FedEx and UPS, but that can climb higher in areas with ZIP codes categorized as “extended” or “remote.” The surcharge amount is influenced by the package being shipped via ground or air transportation and if it’s a commercial or residential delivery.

Boston, Massachusetts

02108, 02109, 02110, 02111, 02113, 02114, 02116, 02127, 02203, 02210

Downtown Boston, The Waterfront, Chinatown, The North End, The West End , Back Bay, and South Boston hardly seem "remote".

“However, shippers do have options to minimize the surcharge’s impact, according to Fanelli. This includes consolidating packages destined for the same address into one shipment”

cool maybe instead of sending 6 target bags to one house they can throw all that stuff into 1 box, save the planet, save the whales

Higher cost to serve areas (parking tickets, multiple re-attempts, multi-floor, more traffic, etc.) drive additional cost. Delivery Area Surcharge does not always mean a remote area.

Dont believe so.
Does the post office have to pay for parking ticket/congestion surcharges like UPS/FredEx?

You are correct.
USPS vehicles don't have license plates.
