NNEP Shipping Program - 2015 Update
How NNEP Members Can Manage the Impact of the 2015 Small Package Rate Increases

The UPS rate increases will take effect on December 29, 2014, while the FedEx rate increases will take effect on January 5, 2015. As always, how much more expensive your particular small package shipments will be in the New Year largely depends on many factors, including shipment volumes, sizes, weights, and modes.
