Ok Corky, I’m sure prices will go down as soon as they are paying the current gas prices.
Gas prices, surcharges, commit guarantees

Do you even know when their fuel contract is up? When it is renewed, the prices could again be around $2/gal.
The fuel surcharge offsets what they are paying for fuel right now, not what they "might" be paying for fuel in the future. Apparently you know nothing about running a business and making a profit.

I don't know how it works today but UPS used to sign contracts with the fuel companies for a set price. Lots of times it ended up being more that the current pump price. About the only good thing they got out of the contracts was a guarantee that UPS would continue to receive fuel if there was a shortage---------but I really doubt that would have been the case if push came to shove. The oil companies are way more powerful than UPS.

What happens to the jet fuel surcharge when a company moves the air pkgs by truck instead of a jet like the invoice says?

The invoice does not specify mode of transport. Nice try, thanks for playing.

When it's next day air you get charged twice the fuel surcharge as the ground shipments. The invoice does reflect that knucklehead...and I'm not playing.

Which part of "UPS will get it from Point A to Point B to arrive at it's guaranteed commit time in the most cost efficient manner possible" are you having difficulty with?

If I'm going to pay for jet fuel you're gonna send it by jet or you're going to refund me the difference between the ground system surcharge and the surcharge for moving it by the air system.
You are either pretty ignorant, a troll stirring up trouble, or just plain dumb. Or all of the above.

To explain it further to you I already paid a large price for the early delivery commit. The company says it's going to charge me 18% for the jet fuel surcharge and then moves it by the ground system instead, which is at 9% fuel surcharge, then I should be refunded the difference. I paid for that package to be delivered at 10:30 a.m.. It has nothing to do with the extra charge that they tack on for fuel. Wake up. You're freaking stupid.

When I got fuel last night it was the 1st time in years that I got more gallons than I paid in dollars.

That's a different discussion.
I just explained that UPS does not pay the current price for fuel, they contract the fuel for a certain price for the length of the contract.

Please show me in the UPS Tariff where they say that they will use an airplane to transport all premium products.
Save yourself the trouble-----it's not in there.

I shouldn't even take the time to reply to you, mostly because it pains me to agree with Dave.
I used to drop off NDAs to a bank branch I passed by on the way to my route. Those NDAs originated from the main office in the town our center is in, twenty miles away.
I'm sure UPS didn't charter any sort of aircraft to move them. Like every other local pickup/delivery, they sat overnight in the building.
Knucklehead.
