UPS uses an index-based surcharge that is adjusted monthly. Changes to the surcharge will be effective the first Monday of each month and posted approximately two weeks prior to the effective date. For your billing convenience, we will also post a 90-day fuel surcharge history. The surcharge will be based on the Rotterdam Jet Fuel Prices reported by Platts for the month that is two months prior to the adjustment.
The following table illustrates the surcharge, effective January 3, 2011: |
|
|
Note: Fuel surcharge percentages and amounts, associated trigger points and methods of calculation are subject to change without notice.
The Rotterdam jet fuel prices were sourced from the Platts Oilgram Price Report. |
|
| If you have a UPS account number, the fuel surcharge will be included on your bill. If you are an occasional UPS customer, the fuel surcharges will be included in your charges. |
|
|
The surcharges apply to domestic and international transportation charges on all services, and to the following accessorial charges (where applicable):
- International Extended Area Charges
- Remote Delivery Charges
- Saturday Delivery
- Residential Delivery
- Large Package Surcharge
|
