Well, it took a while, but we now have all of the 2021 General Rate Increase information from UPS. There is an old saying, “what goes up must come down,” but as we all know that saying does not apply to shipping rates. And, it certainly does not apply here in 2020, as we have seen a slew of surcharges being added to shippers invoices and there is more to come in 2021, as you will see below. In their General Rate Increase announcement, UPS states that these increases, (as in prior years), will average around 4.9%. Of course when we talk about averages, some increases will be less and some increase will be much higher.
We are offering the full list if rate increases as published by UPS so you can see the actual increases for each of UPS’ services. But be aware, there are more increases coming in early 2021 as you will see below.
As we do each and every time FedEx and UPS announce their Annual General Rate Increases, we create for our readers comparison charts comparing the current rates to the increased rates and those are available for download here
