Peak Season Surcharges - 2025

Latest surcharges announced by carriers

Peak season, typically occurring from October through December, represents the highest volume period for e-commerce shipping.

At Borderless360, we maintain complete transparency by passing on carrier surcharges at cost. Any instances where surcharges cannot be passed on at cost are clearly indicated in the fee schedule below. For your reference, we have provided detailed surcharge information directly from our carriers.

Surcharges are regularly updated by carriers and may be subject to changes.

If you have any further questions, please contact our Client Success team.
