Oslo, Norway – 29 September 2014. Beginning in 2015, UPS and FedEx are changing their pricing structures to use dimensional-weight pricing, a common industry standard, for invoicing all domestically shipped parcels. While the announcement of the change may not have come as a big surprise to the industry, many will be impacted—from shippers and carriers to distribution centers and end customers. Before these changes occur, it is important to prepare to avoid future headaches. METTLER TOLEDO has published a white paper, “Dimensional Weight Pricing—A Winning Strategy for Change Charges,” which explains dimensional-weight pricing and changes companies can make to avoid problems in 2015.
