Has anyone else noticed a hike in postage for UPS through Buy Shipping the past couple weeks? Noticed about two weeks ago an increase in UPS Ground postage, and then today there appears to be another cost increase on top of that. I do not recall seeing anything from UPS or Amazon on a proposed rate hike, but I was curious if I may have missed that? TIA.

Hi, Has anyone noticed a huge price increase for the UPS labels purchased when sending merch to Amazon FBA (small parcels)? It's like the UPS-partnered carrier rates are no longer in effect.

We've been shipping FBM for 10 years and 100's of thousands of orders... I've never seen UPS rates so high, ever. It's absurd. Surely a seasonal bump...but I've not seen it by this much ever. Fed Ex is somehow cheaper - and by many times $4-6 cheaper per order! Fed Ex is very slow moving also - we ship very quickly when we receive orders, and they are taking 2-3 days longer than UPS would. So are my fellow FBM sellers seeing this massive disparity and everyone is shipping Fed Ex - making them get bogged down??!! We have daily UPS pick ups, and never Fed Ex because they were so much more expensive - rarely shipped with them. The drives to the Fed Ex store are getting pretty full!
