The UPS shipping rates for 2026 have officially taken effect since December 22nd, 2025.

As UPS rolls out its 2026 General Rate Increase (GRI), with an average adjustment of 5.9%, we know that changes in carrier pricing can raise questions for your business. At Quadient, our priority is helping you stay informed and prepared, so you can continue managing your shipping and mailing operations with confidence. These updates reflect UPS’s ongoing investments in their network and service levels, and we’re here to help you navigate what they mean for your day‑to‑day workflows.

Some adjustments, such as increases on lightweight and residential shipments, may affect certain businesses more than others. But you don’t have to figure it out alone. Our team is here to help you understand how these changes may apply to your mailing profile and ensure you’re equipped with the tools, insights, and support needed to maintain efficiency and control costs. We’ve got your back as you plan for the year ahead.
