Will I Get Billed For A Fuel Surcharge? Yes, And It Will Not Hurt Much

Your courier in NJ is one hard working fellow

, and his company wants to give you the best shipping transactions for as little money out of pocket as possible. However, and we are so sorry for this, once in a while we have to add (minor) taxes or charges or fees to our bills. The fuel surcharge is one of these additions, which, although small, does have a reason behind it. Actually it has three reasons behind it.

First, all courier services the world over base their charges upon what it costs them to operate. And there is probably no more unstable expense at the moment than that of motor oil and fuel. We all know of the rising fuel expenses that are part of our daily lives, and naturally enough our prices reflect market increases when they happen.

Also, if your delivery is usually one that goes to Seattle or Los Angeles, and you suddenly must change the destination to a nearby city such as Portland or Santa Cruz, that is not an appreciably larger distance, but it will take more manpower, hours and fuel energy. Hence, the fuel cost increases, especially if the delivery is one that has been added on to your regular route (and congratulations on being a regular customer; they always get the best deals).

Lastly, no one, certainly not your courier services, sees an immediate or quick end to the struggles over fuel prices. We hope you will understand that, as your courier in NJ, we are doing our very best to keep costs to a minimum, which is why a fuel surcharge usually works out to pennies added to your delivery dollars.

Now, however, we would like to share some good news. There are several methods you can use to lessen your surcharge.

Have a plan with us that specifies your times and places of delivery (our service reps can assist you with that). If we know delivery routes in advance, we can combine or consolidate shipping costs and save you some fuel dollars.

Bulk shipping is often the savior of big business; it offers you some spectacular discounts. If you can combine shipments, merchandise or packaging in any way as well (put a thousand widgets into that box instead of a hundred), you can enjoy more fuel savings also.

Finally, remember we congratulated you for being a regular customer? They still get the best deals.
