Parcel shippers can still find opportunities for lower rates in 2025, but rising surcharges and changing carrier strategies may limit savings. FedEx and UPS have offered significant discounts to attract business, although recent price increases have not fully reversed this trend.

Shippers should carefully assess their shipping needs and negotiate contracts, as competitive rates may still be available for mid-weight packages.
