USPS just added an 8% fuel surcharge on packages—starting April 26, and it’s here to stay through January 2027.
This first-of-its-kind surcharge hits core services like Priority Mail and Parcel Select, directly raising the cost of last-mile delivery for medical consumables, home-use devices, and smaller equipment. With FedEx and UPS already applying similar fees, US logistics costs are entering a new era of structural volatility.
For medical buyers, this means less predictability in total landed costs, more complex price comparisons, and longer decision cycles.
The solution? Work with a partner that locks in logistics costs upfront—no surcharge surprises, no hidden variables.
