Worldwide Services, Next Day Air and 2nd Day Air
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. The surcharge will be based on the U.S. Gulf Coast prices for kerosene-type jet fuel for Worldwide Services, Next Day Air and 2nd Day Air and the National U.S. Average On-Highway Diesel Fuel Prices for Guaranteed Ground and Next Day Intra services reported by the U.S. Department of Energy for the month that is two months prior to the adjustment. For example, the surcharge for February 2012 will be based on the December 2011 U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) Jet Fuel Price.

The following table illustrates the surcharge for Worldwide Services, Next Day Air and 2nd Day Air, effective February 6, 2012:
