FedEx Raises Rates
October 5, 2005

FedEx Corp. said Wednesday it's raising its rates for FedEx Express U.S. domestic and export express package and freight shipments, beginning Jan. 2, 2006, by about 3.5%. Average shipping costs will rise 5.5%, offset by a 2% reduction in FedEx Express' fuel surcharge. Other surcharges will also start on Jan. 2, including a 10 cents per package surcharge on delivery to certain zip codes and for residential delivery. The company said it will announce changes to FedEx Ground rates later in 2005.
