Over the past few weeks, we have seen UPS, FedEx, and DHL announce they are increasing rates and/or adding surcharges to e-commerce packages due to the increase of services throughout the pandemic. These rate increases, some already implemented, may affect your company in some way and we wanted to make sure everyone is aware of what to expect. Below are the links to the carrier websites for their official notifications and some high-level notes:
