FedEx to Increase Fuel Surcharges on All Products Effective Feb 2, 2015
FedEx has confirmed it will change the tables used to calculate fuel surcharges. Fuel surcharges for FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight will change effective Feb 2, 2015.
On the heels of FedEx's general rate increase (effective today) and changes to the way it will price all ground packages based on dimensional weight, the changes reflect yet another major rate increase. FedEx Express and International services will increase as much as 4 percent (see Table 1 below).
