Notice! ! ! International express delivery costs are rising

     Our company has maintained stable and friendly cooperation with the three major international express companies - FEDEX/UPS/DHL. Recently, we have received notices from various companies that due to the peak freight season, peak season surcharges have been added and freight rates will be adjusted. This has brought doubts and troubles to many customers. Next, we will explain the specific reasons why express companies charge peak season surcharges.

     The reason why international express companies charge surcharges to customers during peak seasons is mainly because of the large demand during peak seasons and the increased pressure on logistics and transportation, which leads to increased transportation costs and labor costs. Here are some reasons why international express companies may charge peak season surcharges:

     1.Increased demand during peak periods: Peak seasons are usually holidays, shopping promotion seasons, or busy periods in specific industries. People purchase more items, so express delivery companies need to increase freight capacity to meet customer demand.

     2.Increase in transportation costs: During the peak season, due to the increase in the number of goods, especially the increase in the complexity of international transportation, express companies need to increase transportation equipment, warehousing facilities and human resources, which will increase additional costs.

     3.Service level guarantee: In order to cope with the transportation demand during peak periods, express delivery companies may need to work overtime to ensure that express delivery can be delivered on time. This means they will need to pay for additional labor and may need to add vehicles and equipment to handle more packages.

     4.Safety and risk management: During peak seasons, due to increased order volumes, express delivery companies need to take additional safety and risk management measures to ensure the safety of goods during transportation. This may include increased safeguards, monitoring equipment and personnel training, the costs of which will also be reflected in the surcharge.

      Charging peak season surcharges is a measure taken by express delivery companies to maintain efficient operations and provide stable services. Although it may impose a certain financial burden on customers, it helps express companies cope with peak period challenges and ensure that goods can be delivered to their destinations on time.
