Announcement: ShipRx's 2025 General Rate Increase Report
Download NowAfter breaking things off in 2019, Amazon and FedEx rekindle their relationship with FedEx supporting deliveries of heavy and bulky Amazon packages
In previous years, UPS and FedEx have moved to reduce service in rural areas. Flying in the face of traditional carrier logic, Amazon recently announced that it would invest $4 billion by 2026 to expand its rural delivery network significantly.
Less than six months after implementing their last rate increase, UPS is raising some of their rates again on June 2, 2025.
In February, UPS announced that it would decrease the volume of Amazon parcels delivered by 50%. In the carrier's Q1 2025 earnings call, Executive Vice President and CFO Brian Dykes said that with the volume reduction, UPS is "undertaking the largest network reconfiguration in our history."
