FedEx is pushing current surcharges, focused on Express and Ground home delivery services, to higher levels during peak season as shippers fight for limited space in parcel carriers’ networks. The additional handling and oversized surcharges will rise from $3.50 to $5.95 and $30 to $62.50.
FedEx said on its website the surcharges are necessary to keep service levels high.
“We are entering another holiday peak season during which we expect continued high demand for capacity and increased operating costs across our network,” FedEx said. “We again anticipate the surge in residential volume to carry over into the new year.”
