FedEx and UPS both halted the Money Back Guarantee earlier this summer due to the Covid 19. As a result, shippers are losing out on a minimum of 8% to 10% of the annual revenues spent each year.

FedEx and UPS have added a Covid and then a Peak surcharge to everyone’s rates. Now we are faced with a 25% increase in Fedex and UPS rates. Customers have been patient and extremely understanding. Now It is time for shippers to act appropriately and re-negotiate a new Pricing Agreement that is fair, equitable, and customer oriented.
