A $50 FedEx Ground shipment, for example, will now have a final surcharge plus shipping price at $52.13 (compared to the previous rate at $51.75).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily for RevolutionParts\u2019 customers, our platform provides accurate shipping estimates based on a real-time integration with FedEx and UPS that uses the most current rates for shipping calculations. This ensures shipping charges are up to date on the catalog so dealers don\u2019t eat the cost of the increased surcharges. It&#8217;s just one of the <a href=\"\/sell-auto-parts-online\/\">benefits of choosing RevolutionParts as your parts eCommerce solution<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less than a dollar doesn\u2019t seem like much, but considering how many more packages you\u2019ll be shipping during the holidays, it can quickly add up\u2014especially for larger, heavier parts which already boast a hefty shipping fee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s just another thing to keep in mind when you\u2019re looking for the best shipping value for you and your customers. Remember: USPS doesn\u2019t have fuel surcharges, which can make them a good alternative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies like <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fedex.com\/us\/services\/fuelsurcharge.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FedEx<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ups.com\/content\/us\/en\/shipping\/cost\/zones\/fuel_surcharge.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UPS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> adjust their fuel surcharges based on average fuel prices two months before, which explains why they\u2019ve upped the charge despite the steadily decreasing fuel and oil rates. This means that even though we\u2019re paying a little extra now, the prices should drop again in the months to come!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 2nd, both FedEx and UPS bumped up their fuel surcharge for ground shipments.
