Other recent changes
UPS: Ground, Ground Saver and Domestic Air tables reset
Both tables rise 0.5 percentage points at today’s fuel prices. The point where Ground switches to slow, $0.27 steps moves from $4.99 to $5.80 diesel, and Air from $3.01 to $3.56 jet fuel, so surcharges fall more slowly if fuel drops.
UPS: Ground table bottom extended
The fine-step range was extended lower without a rate-update notice, slowing the decline in the surcharge when diesel eases.
DHL Express: Jet fuel index table lowered
Every bracket of the U.S. Express table was reduced, one of the few downward table moves this year.
FedEx: International export and import tables merged
One unified table now applies both ways. Exports effectively rose about 3.5 percentage points; imports dipped slightly.
FedEx: Ground and Express pivot prices raised
The coarse-step zone now starts at $4.99 diesel (was $3.55) and $3.01 jet fuel (was $2.06), so the surcharge stays higher for longer when fuel falls.
