Guaranteed Ground and Next Day Intra

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 surcharge history. The surcharge will be based on the National U.S. Department of Energy for the month that is two months prior to the adjustment.

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 January 2008 will be based on the November 2007 U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) Jet Fuel Price.
