Could it be they may not match FedEx? Would they pull back on accessorial increases? Will their Ground tariffs differ from FedEx in 2019? As you will see in this article, it seems that UPS’s pricing experts took extra care (and time) this year to ensure they stay ahead of the curve in finding higher rates to charge and newer ways to charge them. The delay created suspense amongst shippers and industry experts alike, as speculation abounded towards why UPS was stalling. What is surprising this time around is the actual timing of the announcements, with UPS waiting until early December to make their new rates known. There’s little surprise in the 2019 general rate increases of 4.9% announced by UPS and FedEx. Nor should there be any surprise for small parcel shippers when the actual impact, especially in key accessorial lanes, turns out to be greater.
