Staying ahead of shipping rate increases

As a valued Excelerate America member, you have access to exclusive FedEx discounts that can help you stay ahead of the curve. With shipping rates set to rise in 2025, now’s the time to make the most of this free Excelerate America member benefit!

Here's why it matters

FedEx and UPS will be increasing their rates by an average of 5.9% in the new year, making it more important than ever to take advantage of your EA benefits. With discounts of 50% on FedEx Express and 30% on FedEx Ground, you can help offset these cost increases and keep your shipping budget under control.

What to know:

• While the average rate increase is 5.9%, your actual costs will vary based on package weight, distance, and service used.
• The average increase only refers to base rates, but many common surcharges are climbing even higher, often exceeding 5.9%.
• Frequently using two-day air/express services or shipping oversized items? Expect an even bigger jump in your shipping expenses.
