FedEx Gift To Holiday Shoppers Is A Lump Of Coal For UPS - Investors Business Daily

FedEx Corp. (FDX) squared off against rival United Parcel Service (UPS) Thursday, announcing that it will skip additional charges for most residential deliveries this holiday season. The package delivery services are locked in a duel as Americans increasingly make their purchases at Amazon.com (AMZN) and other online retailers.

FedEx will, however, slap a fee for packages that are oversized or unauthorized, or require additional handling, the shipping giant said. It noted in a statement that the volume of oversized packages during the holidays has increased by approximately 240% over the past 10 years, and larger, heavier packages now account for 10% of all ground volumes.

We've seen a lot of holiday volume rumored to have been diverted from FedEx due to capacity limitations during past peaks. Fantastic PR but this'll probably just have 'em waving larger shippers on to UPS earlier this year.
