UPS adds peak delivery surcharge to manage e-commerce demand amid coronavirus - Fox Business

UPS typically imposes extra fees on merchants during the busy Christmas shopping season

United Parcel Service Inc. is adding "peak" surcharges for companies that have been inundating its delivery network with too many packages and oversize items during the coronavirus pandemic, an unprecedented move to manage a summer flood of shipments and higher costs.

UPS typically imposes extra fees on merchants during the busy Christmas shopping season, but -- for the first time in the e-commerce era -- will add such surcharges starting May 31. The fees would apply to large online sellers like Amazon.com Inc. as well as traditional retailers like Target Corp. and Best Buy Co. that have shifted heavily to e-commerce as many stores have closed temporarily.

People need to pay $20 per step for their dumb for more than 8 steps. There should be a dumpster at apartments, anything worth less than $10 gets dumped and you dig it out.

Its fun to fantasize

Gotta subsidize those 9.5 somehow (shoulder shrug)

Lord knows this friend company ain't gonna hire the staff necessary to deal with it

 

[AwashBwashCwash]

No hazard pay for us but the company gets the opportunity to fleece shippers.
Interesting.

Get those sales leads in...lol. They don't even ask me to, they'll just set up smart pickups for places that aren't even open or don't even ship and the people who work there know nothing about it.

 

[Fred's Myth]

No wonder people hate us.

Just you.

Not UPS.
