Holiday Shipping Surcharges

Holiday shipping surcharges are surcharges charged by carriers and logistics companies during high seasonal times such as Christmas, Black Friday, and important local holidays. These charges reflect the increased operating costs associated with handling surges in shipping volumes, labor shortages, and limited capacity. These seasonal surcharges can have a considerable impact on freight costs for firms, particularly when sending large volumes or time-sensitive goods around the holidays.

CargoWise allows you to create holiday shipping surcharges automatically depending on shipping dates, carrier-specific surcharge regulations, and geographies. This technology ensures invoicing accuracy and allows logistics companies to remain profitable during moments of high demand. By incorporating these principles within CargoWise, businesses decrease the need for manual charge changes and avoid revenue leakage. It also enables teams to plan ahead of time by offering visibility into forthcoming surcharge windows, resulting in improved cost forecasting and client communication during seasonal logistics peaks.
