United Parcel Service will tack a surcharge onto most online orders shipping around the holiday shipping season. Some may seek to avoid the surcharges by spreading holiday deals to other weeks during the season. The surcharges unveiled by UPS will hit its customers during the busiest shipping weeks and on the most popular products during that time. In a twist, the UPS surcharge includes an element that gives stores an advantage. Citi Research estimates the new surcharges will add $50 million in revenue and profit at UPS this year.
