INTRODUCTION
Another year, another major carrier rate increase. Thanks to the vigilance with which FedEx and UPS have been raising their shipping rates in recent years, most parcel shippers will find their shipping costs increasing by a smaller percentage than in years past. That being said, it is still essential that businesses understand the distribution and impacts of the General Rate Increase (GRI) across each service level, weight, and zone distribution relevant to their shipping needs.
Most of the increases customers will see in their invoice totals are going to come from the transportation costs associated with each individual shipment. The stated GRI for both major carriers remain the same for 2012 as 2011.
