Which carrier is the right one for you? With the 2025 GRIs (at a matching 5.9% by both carriers) and now implemented, it’s time to get serious about understanding how your parcel shipping costs will be going up — and do something about it.

Some Highlights:

• The two carriers’ rates on base Domestic shipments are closely aligned except for 3-day services.
• On average, FedEx offers a price advantage for International Exports, while UPS is less expensive for International Imports.
• UPS offers a slight overall price advantage on the most used Accessorials. But keep in mind, UPS recently made other changes separate from the GRI, including a new 40 lbs. minimum billable weight for the Additional Handling Surcharge and a 2% credit card fee.*
• Competition between FedEx and UPS is high as they push to gain market share. Now is an ideal time for contract renegotiations, and it remains a strong buyer’s market, with the carriers offering price concessions to keep or win parcel volume.
