UPS Mail Innovations will implement peak season shipping fees from October 5, 2025, to January 18, 2026, including a $2 surcharge for packages over 10 pounds, destined for Zone 9, or exceeding certain dimensions. Additionally, a $0.30 surcharge will apply to eligible domestic parcels. These fees reflect similar surcharges from 2024 but are for a longer duration and with increased rates. Following the expiration of its contract with the U.S. Postal Service, UPS is adjusting its strategies to manage cost pressures, including using alternative transportation vendors and enhancing its network.
