UPS plans to raise its shipping rates by an average of 5.9% for ground, air, and international services starting December 23, aligning with a similar increase from FedEx. This rate hike, occurring just before the holiday shipping rush, aims to support UPS’s ongoing expansion and service improvements. The impact will vary based on factors like package weight and delivery distance. Additionally, UPS will adjust ZIP code surcharges on October 21 and implement further pricing changes on January 27, 2025, focusing on large package calculations.
