UPS is raising ground, air and freight rates by averages of around 5
percent as it seeks to boost revenue that has stagnated this year.
The
Atlanta-based package delivery company said Thursday that on Oct. 26
freight rates will rise an average of 4.9 percent, and on Dec. 28, rates
on ground shipping will increase 4.9 percent and air and international
services will rise about 5.2 percent.
United
Parcel Service Inc. spokesman Steve Gaut said some large shipping
customers or retail consumers could see larger or smaller increases than
the averages, but he declined to give specifics. He said UPS needed the
increases to cover rising labor and equipment costs and to be
compensated fairly for its services.
