DHL Express to raise US rates by 4.9pc from January 2018
DHL Express has announced that rates for US account holders will be bumped up by 4.9 per cent on average, commencing from January 2018.
The company stated that it "adjusts its prices annually, taking into account inflation, currency dynamics and other rising costs, such as expenses related to compliance with enhanced security regulations, in each of the more than 220 countries and territories that it serves," reported American Shipper.
Last year, the parcel carrier raised rates by an average of 3.9 per cent in Germany and 4.9 per cent in the US.
Other carriers have implemented similar rate hikes for the holiday season, such as UPS introducing a new peak shipping charge during selected weeks in November and December 2017 for US residential, large packages and packages over maximum limits.
