Upcoming Webinar on 2026 Shipping Costs
Reveel™, renowned for its Shipping Intelligence™ Platform equipped with advanced Parcel Spend Management 2.0 (PSM 2.0) technology, is set to host an insightful webinar titled
"How to Predict & Analyze 2026 Accessorials" on October 23, 2025, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. This session is designed specifically for shippers, logistics leaders, and professionals in finance and supply chain management looking to effectively navigate the complexities and evolving dynamics of parcel shipping costs for the upcoming year.
Led by Jack McCrum, Reveel's Director of Optimization Analytics, the webinar will delve into the anticipated financial landscape of parcel shipping in 2026. Participants can expect to gain crucial insights regarding the recent trends in accessorial charges, which, as highlighted by McCrum, are becoming increasingly significant for shippers.
Understanding the Context
Within the shipping industry, parcel rates have become more dynamic and unpredictable. McCrum informs us that while FedEx's General Rate Increase (GRI) is projected at a substantial
5.9% for 2026, it's essential to recognize that this increase is just the beginning. Accessorial fees, which include charges for oversized packages, additional delivery surcharges, and fluctuating costs associated with fuel and address corrections, are rapidly changing the financial obligations of shippers. Since 2021, these annual GRI increases have already summed up to a staggering
27%, but the surge in accessorial charges has surpassed this increase, driving shipping costs significantly higher.
The upcoming webinar will arm attendees with strategies to counteract these trends proactively. Participants will learn how to comprehend the nuances of new rules and surcharges, while also understanding the underlying motivations driving these changes and the operational implications for their businesses.
