[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 4471287, member: 49065"] We recently raised an added surcharge of 25 dollars for all (over 50 pound packages) and a couple of years ago started to add a 15 dollar charge for any package over 48 inches (called an irregular charge). We have been slowly raising our annual rates at a 5% or 6 % clip over the last 20 years. Many would be surprised with added costs with the Extra Large packages, you know the ones that are regularly left off the package cars because of their size or possible damage/repacks. Some major changes will be coming with the (outside) CEO taking the reins, this Q1 outcome will give her free reign to force many needed reforms on the corporate levels. A couple of suggestions about our pricing for what it is worth: a. Distance pricing instead of state to state..Discount Zone 2 shipping..Why pay the same price to ship across the city as an area 300 miles away? b. Start an ounce charge instead of pound rate, much like the Post Office. It could be possible to legally start considering the concept with the USPS losing money hand or fist and currently in Trump's dog house along with Amazon. [/QUOTE]
