Reveel to Present Webinar on 2026 Parcel Shipping Costs

"How to Predict & Analyze 2026 Accessorials" will benefit leaders who want to predict  shipping budgets for the year to come and learn strategies to mitigate cost increases

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reveel™, the only Shipping Intelligence™ Platform with Parcel Spend Management 2.0 (PSM 2.0) technology, today invited shippers and other leaders in logistics, supply chain, operations and finance to attend its webinar "How to Predict & Analyze 2026 Accessorials" on Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Featuring a detailed analysis of carriers' efforts to increase revenue-per-package in the year to come, the webinar will help attendees forecast parcel shipping budgets and provide proven strategies to mitigate and manage cost increases in 2026.

"While we already know FedEx customers will see a 5.9% General Rate Increase (GRI) for 2026 and expect UPS to follow suit, it's imperative for shippers to know that rate card increases are merely the tip of the iceberg," said Jack McCrum, Reveel's director of optimization & analytics. "Accessorial charges, from oversize package fees to expanding delivery area surcharges and extra costs on everything from fuel to address corrections are nothing new. But the scale, frequency and financial impact we are seeing today reflects an entirely new reality for shippers and the businesses they serve."

McCrum stresses that it is imperative for shippers to understand not only which new rules and surcharges will significantly impact their companies, but also the drivers behind them, what they reveal about carriers' motivations, and how they can proactively and effectively take steps to keep costs under control. Notably, in a stark departure from industry norms, many changes – including new rules and fees – are increasingly unveiled with little or no warning.

"Since 2021 the annual GRIs have increased shipping rates by 27%, but increases in accessorial charges have far outpaced even that – making them the key drivers of shipping costs for most companies," added McCrum. "That is why it is crucially important for shippers – particularly those engaged in omnichannel retail, e-commerce and other industries in which parcel shipping performance is synonymous with business success – to enter the new year with a sound understanding of the accessorial landscape and the steps they can take to mitigate cost increases."

Some of the many things the webinar will explore include:

• Definitional changes;
• New surcharges; and
• The expansion of zones and parcels impacted by additional fees.
