[12-11] Peak Surcharge. To process and deliver as many packages as possible during the busy year-end period, carriers are taking additional measures. They are hiring more staff and deploying more equipment specifically for this period. To partially cover these expenses, some carriers are implementing a peak surcharge.

PostNL: The peak surcharge for PostNL applies from November 17 to December 31, 2024, and is €0.26 per parcel and €0.15 per letterbox parcel. This surcharge will be added on top of your usual rate.
UPS: The peak surcharge for UPS applies from September 9, 2024, to January 31, 2025, for parcels that meet the large parcel surcharge or extra handling fees criteria. The surcharge amount is variable and depends on the destination. More information is available on ups.com.
