FedEx is increasing its shipping rates
Conpany: "Changes reflect the costs associated with the difficult operating environment"

The increase is scheduled to go into effect on January 3, 2022 and will apply to all US domestic, US export, and US import services. FedEx Ground, which delivers to the company, and FedEx Home Delivery will increase by an average of 5.9%. For FedEx Freight customers, the increase can be up to 7.9%.
Freight tariffs will also increase for shipments within Canada and Mexico, and between those countries and the adjacent United States, the company said.
But FedEx customers should also expect a price increase before the Christmas season.
Starting November 1st, a fuel surcharge will apply on certain FedEx shipments, including FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight.
"These changes reflect the additional costs associated with the challenging operating environment," the company said in a statement.
Last month, the United States Postal Service requested a temporary increase in the price of a number of postal services during the peak holiday season to offset rising delivery costs. A similar price increase had already been introduced in the 2020 holiday season.
Worldwide shipping is still in crisis with backlogs looming over the holiday season. Due to delays in the supply chain and increasing consumer demand, shipping containers are overcrowded, making shipping the goods significantly more expensive for companies.
