Highlights of General Rate Increase 2022
General Rate Increase (GRI) gives shippers an estimate of the rise in base shipping rates. Depending on the contract negotiations with the parcel carriers, the impact on the shipments for shippers will vary. In addition, accessorial charges also increase every year. The shipping costs vary based on factors, such as distance/zone, dimensional weights, and more. So, our team at Audintel has identified three key highlights from the GRIs of 2022. Further, this comparison is for the United States domestic shipping rates and surcharges only.
A General Rate Increase at the service level
FedEx and UPS offer competitive rates for the domestic US shipping market. However, there appears to be a marked rise in the shipping rates, as seen in the below charts.
List rates of UPS and FedEx
The shipping list rates are calculated based on the weight of the packages and the shipping destinations. In this chart, UPS and FedEx Ground services show a ~6.8% increase in rates from 2021. Incidentally, parcels with a dimensional weight of more than 150 pounds appear to have a low rate increase.
Minimum charge reductions as seen for UPS and FedEx
A discount for low-weight packages is possible with minimum charge reductions. It is known as “Minimum Net Charge” by UPS and “Minimum Package charge” by FedEx. Both parcel carriers, UPS and FedEx, offer minimum charges to their customers. Shippers having a large volume of shipments can negotiate for minimum charge reduction in their carrier agreements.
UPS Minimum charges
Thus, negotiating for minimum charges with parcel carriers is vital for shippers. Our experts in Audintel help businesses negotiate minimum costs in their contracts. Contact us for further information on UPS and FedEx minimum charges.
Accessorial fees and surcharges
With the General Rate Increase announced each year, accessorial fees and surcharges increase annually. We see an increase in some vital surcharges, such as Additional Handling Charges, Delivery Area Surcharges (DAS), and Residential Surcharges. The impact of these surcharges affects the bottom line of shippers. In the case of UPS, an immense change in 2022 is the addition of Remote Area Surcharges for the lower 48 states. It is known as “US48 Remote Area Surcharge”. Earlier, the Remote Area Surcharge was for some zip codes in Alaska and Hawaii.
UPS Surcharges 2022
UPS surcharges indicates an increase in shipping prices zone-wise. In addition, it appears the introduction of Remote Area Surcharge for additional zip codes in the US will affect the profits of some businesses.
FedEx Surcharges 2022
For FedEx surcharges, our observation is that the Additional Handling Surcharge for zone 2 is less than the charges of 2021. Further, the oversize charges for zone 2 are less than the amount charged in 2021. This information is vital for businesses sending oversize parcels to zone 2. It is good news for shippers sending packages for short distances.
As seen in the above charts, the surcharge increase is due to Additional Handling Charges of packages. In addition, Large Package surcharges (UPS) and Oversize packages (FedEx) indicate the rise in price due to the size of the parcels.

How do concentrations affect rate according to the rate law?
The rate law describes the relationship between the concentration of reactants and the rate of a chemical reaction. Generally, an increase in the concentration of reactants will lead to a proportional increase in the reaction rate if the reaction is first order with respect to that reactant. For example, if the rate law is rate = k[A]^2, doubling the concentration of A would quadruple the reaction rate.
An increase in temperature will cause the rate of a chemical reaction to?
Increasing the temperature the dissolving rate increase.
According to the rate law how do concentration affect rate?
The rate will be dictated by the rate law. The concentration may have NO effect on rate in a zero order reaction, or it may be directly proportional to the concentration in a first order reaction. Also, in second order reaction, doubling the concentration will increase the rate by FOUR times.
What is the starting point when you divide the amount of increase by it to calculate the rate of increase?
The starting point is the original value or amount before the increase. To calculate the rate of increase, you divide the amount of increase by the original value and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
What leads to the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction?
Many things lead to an increase in the rate of chemical reactions. These factors include: - Addition of Catalysts - Light (only in some reactions) - Increase in temperature - Increase in Pressure - Increase in amount of reactants
In general an increase in temperature?
A general increase in temperature increases the reaction rate.
Does FedEX have a flat rate envelope?
No.
Does putting a suppressor on a gun increase fire rate?
Yes, in general a suppressor can increase rate of fire by 50-100 rounds/ minute.
What is the expected rate of return on investment for this opportunity?
The expected rate of return on investment for this opportunity is the anticipated percentage increase in value or profit that an investor can expect to receive from their investment.
Will my son increase insurance costs?
You can definitely expect a rate increase for adding a teenage driver. However, you still should be able to get a new sign up customer discount.
How can increase in interest rate be prevented?
It depends what country you're in.Most commonly, the Central Bank has the right tools (decreasing general interest rate towards national banks) to prevent the increase in interest rates.
What is the relationship between concentration and reaction rate?
In general (but not always), the reaction rate will increase with increasing concentrations. If the reaction is zero order with respect to that substance, then the rate will not change.
How does a change in temperature from 25o to 50o affect the rate of the reaction rate?
The general rule of thumb is that the reaction rate will double for each 10ºC change in temperature. So, going from 25 to 50 degrees, would increase the reaction rate APPROXIMATELY by 4.5 times. This is not a law, but just a general rule of thumb for approximating the rate.
What impact can hybrid record has on patient care?
Improved literacy rate and a general increase in the understanding of basic English grammar.
How does meditation and deep beathing affect heart rate?
In general, after a bit of practice, meditation and *slow* deep breathing slow the heart rate. If one breaths deep and fast, the heart rate will increase.
What is the difference between the natural state of interest and the bank rate?
In contemporary terms, the natural rate of interest is what businesses expect to earn on real investment. The bank rate is the return on financial assets in general and commercial bank loans in particular.
What do you do that's not exercise to increase your heart rate?
Eat the new KFC double down, it will increase you heart rate, you hearts' velocity, the blood pumping product of your heart, and just your heart in general. Be warned: you will probably need a triple bypass
