An article about UPS’ “Third Party Billing Service” was just published in the January 2016 issue of TransDigest on Page 9. Written by ICC’s own Tony Nuzio, the article clarifies what shippers need to know about the new fee, which many shippers will begin to see on their weekly UPS invoices.

Tony suggests that, after reading the TransDigest article, shippers “take a close look at their weekly UPS invoices to evaluate and determine exactly what the total impact of this new fee will be on their business.” He also suggests that “shippers should make sure before they attempt to make a Third Party billed shipment via UPS in 2016 and beyond, that the intended payer of the freight charges does in fact have a valid account with UPS, or stand the risk of receiving chargebacks from UPS.”
