New hefty UPS 'peak surcharges' deliver a bitter sense of deja vu to shippers - The Loadstar
Unsurprisingly, large shippers again find themselves on the receiving end of hefty surcharges from one of the large integrators as they prepare for peak season.
UPS has unveiled several tariffs squarely aimed at shippers with high parcel volumes and outsize shipments.
This latest round of surcharges affects customers that have shipped over 25,000 packages during any week since February 2020 – before the pandemic impacted traffic in the US.
How much more the firms will have to fork out hinges on the number of parcels they send out on average per week in the coming peak season: if their traffic is over 500% of their February 2020 levels, they face as much as $6.15 more per package.
