There are dozens of accessorial charges to be aware of when shipping. Accessorials account for a large percentage of carriers’ total annual revenue and continue to be a pain to shippers everywhere. The fact is, just like the telephone companies, hotels and airlines, parcel carriers like FedEx® are counting on these extra shipping fees to make them money.
Often referred to as “value-added” services, accessorial charges quickly eat away at your bottom line. Carriers use these charges to pocket money from customers since no incentives exist at this time to reduce accessorials.
- The following accessorial charges took effect on January 1, 2018. Please refer to the
