DEMAND SURCHARGE
To ensure operational continuity during a period of high demand, a Demand Surcharge has been derived from the integrators and will be activated by Olympex Global. The Demand Surcharge will be levied on all UPS/DHL/FedEx Express Worldwide shipments.
WHY IS THIS SURCHARGE BEING IMPLEMENTED?
DHL/FedEx/UPS Express transports your shipments around the world using dedicated their own aircraft, supported by significant amounts of commercial airline capacity. This unique model provides the coverage and service levels that you have come to expect, connecting all 220+ countries and territories worldwide.
During periods of high demand, the shipment volume materially exceeds the integrators base level of network capacity. In addition to that, recent years have seen global trade becoming increasingly unpredictable, volatile and challenging. Introducing the Demand Surcharge allows us to allocate additional resource and capacity where needed to accommodate these global dynamics which enables us to continue delivering the best possible service to you and your customers during such periods.
WHAT IS THE MECHANISM OF THIS SURCHARGE?
The Demand Surcharge will apply per shipment in EUR per kg according to the origin and destination. Fuel surcharge will be applied.
The current validity period is September 15, 2024 to January 31, 2025.
