Beginning December 29, 2019, UPS has announced the following rate changes. We only hit some of the highlights and the below is not a full list. See the UPS link below for a full list of rate changes.
4.9% average increase on Ground Transportation. While some weight/zone combinations may be under 4.9%, other will be over 4.9%. 4.9% is an average.
Do not over look changes to additional surcharges. Surcharges are increasing too, and can add up quickly.
- AHS Weight From $23 to $24 a 4.3% increase.
-While maybe more importantly, the weight threshold for applying an Additional Handling surcharge will be lowered from 70 pounds to 50 pounds actual weight for UPS Ground and UPS Air services. If you ship 50 pound or heavier packages, you may want to explore your options. Can you ship the item in two lighter packages for less than one package 50 pounds or more?
- AHS Dimensions Are rising from $14.25, to $15.00, a 5.3% increase
- LPS Commercial (Large Package Surcharge) - Increasing from $95 to $100 a 5.3% increase
- LPS Residential - Increasing from $115 to $120 a 4.3% increase
- Over Max Limits - From $850 to $875, a 2.9% increase
Residential and DAS (Delivery Area Surcharge) are also increasing, along with many more "Value Added" services. For a full list, see the UPS Rates Update Page here: https://www.ups.com/us/en/shipping/rates-update.page
