Effective 2 November 2015, FedEx is adjusting its fuel surcharge index. Experiencing some déjà vu? That may be because just nine months ago, in February 2015, FedEx adjusted its fuel surcharge index.
This time around, fuel surcharges for FedEx Express/International will increase 1.5% to 1.75%, while FedEx Ground surcharges will increase 0.5% – 1.0%.1 These are in addition to the fuel surcharges implemented in February. And the hits just keep coming: FedEx also announced increased shipping rates
effective 4 January 2016, with FedEx Express, Ground, Home Delivery and Freight, all increasing by an average of 4.9%.2
You have to get your products
into your customers’ hands, so you have no choice but to ship. So, how will these changes affect your
planning? What are your options for managing rising shipping costs? How
can you proactively address your logistics management?
Before you panic and start taking the hit to
your bottom line, talk to your 3PL
fulfillment partner. A great
fulfillment partner can help; transportation is the backbone of their
business, and they’re on top of the trends and working on ways to optimize
their options to their partners’ benefit.
Talk to Vision, we can help you understand and plan for your transportation
future.
