Transcript of Annual Carrier General Price Increase · 2020. 8. 21. · AIR PRICE INCREASE YEAR TO YEAR GROUND...
Dear Parcel Shipper,
Over the past decade (2008-2018), UPS and FedEx ground tari� rates have increased 76.6% while air tari� rates have
increased 84.2%. As usual, these numbers do not take into account the accessorial increases or the impact of the
dimensional weight changes both carriers continuously make.
What are you doing to o�set this year’s increase?
This document summarizes the UPS and FedEx General Price Increase (GPI) for 2018.
How do these changes a�ect your bottom line? Of course, the impact to you will vary according to your specific shipping
profile (e.g. service level usage, zone density, etc) and distribution model. If you’d like to discuss strategies to help mitigate
the increases, please contact us.
Best wishes in 2018.
Cheers,
Jared Fisher

E�ective December 24, 2017 (UPS) & January 1, 2018 (FedEx), the carriers will implement another costly general price increase for small
parcel shippers. In addition to the service level rate increases, this year’s changes impact a wider range of packages as both carriers
have further adjusted weight-to-size related charges and made significant increases to other accessorial surcharges. As an example,
FedEx announced that, e�ective January 22, 2018, it will begin applying a dimensional weight (DIM) factor of 139 to all SmartPost
packages. UPS also announced that the DIM factor on packages measuring less than one-cubic foot will decrease from 166 to 139.
See below for information on specific charges.
