[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 3216655, member: 1"] [B][URL='http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2017/11/24/ups-move-pressures-retailers.html']UPS move pressures retailers - Fox Business[/URL][/B] Retailers are contending with a new challenge as this year's holiday shopping season heats up: extra shipping fees during the busiest weeks. United Parcel Service for the first time is tacking on a surcharge on packages shipped to homes around Black Friday and the week before Christmas, hoping to convince companies to send their orders outside those peak periods -- or to make more money from ones that must be delivered then. The surcharge has prompted e-commerce retailers large and small to consider other delivery options, such as FedEx or the U.S. Postal Service, passing the additional costs to their customers, or delaying shipments to cheaper times.
