Finding Surcharges

Providing service to and from less populated or accessible domestic and international areas carries higher operating costs. The extended and remote area surcharges are assessed to more accurately reflect the cost of providing service to these areas.
Fuel Surcharge
Applies to transportation charges for select UPS services and accessorial charges.
Surge Fees
Surge fees may be implemented based on regular assessments of shipping volume, available capacity and other considerations at UPS’ discretion.
