Uncovering The Accessorial Landscape For Shippers in 2026

Shippers who do business with FedEx and UPS will encounter a 5.9% general rate increase for the coming year, with UPS’ new rates going into effect on Dec. 22 and FedEx’s on Jan. 5. But as most know, many significant cost increases aren’t found on carriers’ rate cards, but instead stem from the complex web of variables that influence the costs associated with each and every parcel.

That’s never been more true than it is now, when accessorials – additional charges independent of carriers’ rate cards and GRIs – are being used more frequently and for greater effect than ever before. Often introduced with little or no warning, they can radically impact shipping costs, fulfillment strategies, profit and loss. 

Building on one of the most popular sessions at this year’s PARCEL Forum and back by popular demand, the free, on-demand webinar “How to Predict & Analyze 2026 Accessorials” explores this new reality in detail. Join Reveel’s Jack McCrum, director, optimization and analytics; and Quinn Nelson, senior program manager, for insights you won’t want to miss, including:

  • An overview of the accessorial landscape; 
  • The various levers carriers are using to increase RPP; and 
  • Proven steps shippers can take to keep carriers’ 2026 cost increases in check.
