US EditionAmazon, UPS, FedEx, and USPS to add fuel surcharges as gas prices soar
Rising fuel prices, driven by geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions, are leading Amazon, UPS, and USPS to implement surcharges, with national gas prices nearing $4 a gallon.
- Amazon announced a 3.5 percent "fuel and logistics related surcharge" on third-party fulfillment services, effective April 17 in the United States and Canada.
- Rising global fuel costs have strained logistics networks as the national gas price average approaches $4 a gallon, forcing companies to pass elevated transportation expenses to consumers.
- FedEx earlier this month instituted a $0.50 per-pound surcharge on shipments to the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa, while UPS updates its index-based fuel surcharges weekly based on diesel prices.
- The United States Postal Service filed a proposal with the Postal Regulatory Commission for an 8 percent increase on select services, taking effect April 26 if approved.
- Industry analysts expect continued price volatility as shipping routes remain disrupted, with David Sullivan, director of professional services at ShipScience, warning businesses to monitor carrier notices closely.
