A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
2019 FEDEX AND UPS
RATE INCREASES
W
ith the New Year approaching, it’s time
to look at the UPS and FedEx rate
increases for 2019 and how they will affect your
costs. There are three Major Takeaways from the
2019 FedEx and UPS Rate Increases.
Here are some quick facts:
1. FedEx and UPS small package rates are
increasing an average of 4.9%—effective
January 7, 2019 and December 26, 2018
respectively.
2. Your actual costs will vary. Depending
on the service you use and your package
characteristics, you could see increases
above or below the average.
3. Many common surcharges are also
increasing. On top of the base rates, you
need to be aware of the charges that apply
to your shipments and how they’ll affect
your total costs.
