Both UPS and FedEx announced that
starting December 29, 2014, all packages
will be subject to DIM weight charges,
which will have a significant impact on
the cost of shipping smaller and lighter
packages by ground. You can read the

5. FEDEX PACKAGE EXAMPLE:
The current freight charge for
a 12 lb. box, zone 8, ground shipment of
14x14x14 box costs $19.67 to ship.
If the new DIM Weight calculation for ground
freight were applied today,
the same box would cost $24.26.

According to PARCELindustry.com FedEx delivers around 4.6 million ground shipments
per day – of which 3.9 million will be affected by the new DIM Weight calculation.
