2015 UPS rate changes
UPS Rates,
2 big changes for UPS rates coming in 2015
All boxes shipped UPS Ground are now dimensioned. Previously packages under 3 cubic feed where not dimensioned and shipped via actual weight
Plus there is a 4.9% rate increase.
I think Fedex is doing the same as well.
I sell large light bicycle wheels. So My current normal wheelset box is going to double in shipping cost. If i pack them in a slightly different way I can reduce the increase to about 40% increase over last year.
This is a huge increase in shipping cost.
Currently we use Shipping tables for rated based on order Total. This is mainly due to item weight is not a great way to calculate shipping cost when you get into using multiple boxes.
