Dive Brief:
FedEx unveiled its 2026 peak season surcharges on Wednesday, which will drive up costs for deliveries amid the holiday shipping rush.
The charges are higher than last year's fees and apply over roughly the same time period, with all surcharges active by Oct. 26 and running until Jan. 17, 2027. The amount of each peak season surcharge depends on the date, with prices peaking from Nov. 23 to Dec. 27.
FedEx said on its website that it applies demand surcharges during times of elevated volumes, heightened demand for capacity and higher operating costs. The company added that the added fees will help it "continue to provide customers with the best possible service" during the busy holiday season.
