The FedEx Ground Minimum increases from $7.25 in 2017 to $7.58 in 2018, an increase of 4.6%. For Ground and Home Delivery, we can see in the below table that FedEx is using lower increases at the higher weight ranges, less common among shippers, to balance out rate increases up to 5.69% in the low and mid-level weight ranges. Compared to 2017, when FedEx raised Ground and Home Delivery by 4.9% but Domestic and Int’l Air by 3.9%, 2018 represents a heftier increase.Īs seasoned shippers and GRI veterans, you should know that a 4.9% stated increase will often mean higher rate increases in certain areas, as both carriers selectively apply higher percentages to targeted weights, zones, and services. The 4.9% stated increase applies across the board to all their tariffs, from Domestic Air to Ground to International shipments. FedEx is giving its shippers the benefit of a few extra months to budget for their cost increases in 2018, pre-empting the roll-out with an early announcement of their general rate increase, effective January 1 st, 2018.
