FedEx has increased its fuel surcharge calculations, impacting various services like FedEx Ground and U.S. express freight, with hikes generally around 200 basis points. The adjustments, based on average fuel costs, now raise the surcharge from 18.5% to 20.5% when diesel is priced at $3.74 per gallon. This change is part of ongoing pricing pressures affecting parcel shippers and follows similar moves by UPS. Additionally, FedEx raised its late payment fee and revised the ZIP codes subject to its delivery area surcharge, reflecting a trend of frequent fee adjustments in a competitive market.
