Usps -fuel surchagre
The U.S. Postal Service is seeking permission to impose a fuel surcharge on parcel products for the first time ever to cover soaring transportation costs for gasoline and diesel fuel, which have jumped more than 30% since the invasion of Iran by the United States and Israel nearly a month ago.
Parcel shipments would be charged an 8% fee, on top of their regular transportation charge, if the fee is approved. |

Re: Usps -fuel surchagre
The delivery service in the UK raises prices every year in April irrispective of global events. They are restricted on how much they are allowed to increase it by regulators.
Fuel surcharges by them or the other delivery providers must be quite difficult to implement. |

| We have been brrainwashed that attacking Israel is like attacking USA and we must act.
Fertilizer price would also go up,so expect paying more for food. |

I don't think USPS is the cheapest shipping option anymore, is it? |

| Within range of competition, but still the cheapest for a pound and below, that's what I've noticed.
It used to be a VERY noticeable gap in affordability, but not so much anymore. |

Re: Usps -fuel surchagre
AMZN along with Fed Exp,USPS and UPS are all carriers,in fact some said it is bigger than some of its competitors.
So for those AMZN third party sellers relying on AMZN fullfillment,their shipping and handling rate will be going up.
Some days I see more AMZN Blue Care vans than Fed Exp or UPS in my neighborhood.
Does AMZN still have its own private planes and airports? |

Re: Usps -fuel surchagre
Public records shows that Amazon has 100s of planes. All leases moving various routes. |

AMZN has been leasing spaces in shopping malls when the anchor stores closed due to slow traffic and turning them into warehouses.
Those mall locations are situated in areas where there is good road and close to communities so they can deliver your orders same or next day.
But this is bad for smaller shops in the malls ,the anchored stores such as Macy,Dillard used to draw traffic and now they are on their own .
| thread topic was usps fuel surcharge -the AZ retail renting can be your new thread agent :focus: |
Re: Usps -fuel surchagre
Easy on the returns as well - if not overabused |

AMZN now examine returns closely to make sure you return what you bought from them,and in same condition they sent you.
