Fuel Surcharge

If you have a UPS account number, the fuel surcharge will be included on your weekly bill. If you are an occasional UPS customer, a fuel surcharge will be included in your charges.

The surcharge will be based on the rounded Average Retail Prices for Diesel Canada reported by the Ministry of Natural Resources Canada for the week that is two weeks prior to the adjustment, rounded to the nearest cent. For example the surcharge for the week of February 6, 2017 is based on the Retail Diesel Price for the week of January 23, 2017.
