Our team is ramping up our operations for the 2024 peak season to ensure that we get your orders to customers on time, every time.

Peak Season Reminders:

  • Please share all holiday forecasts and promotional schedules with your account manager. All updates should be communicated regularly.

  • No Physical Inventories in November and December, 2024

  • No onsite visits in Q4 (October, November, and December, 2024)

DCL Days of Operations

It includes days DCL is open and shipping during the holidays, plus noted are the associated fees that may be incurred on certain days for peak season fulfillment.

Demand Shipping Surcharges

Many major carriers are implementing demand surcharges, formerly known as peak surcharges, for the 2024 holiday season. These surcharges have very complex structures, so we are simplifying them to make them easier to calculate.

For all demand surcharges, DCL Logistics is either passing them through as is or absorbing some or all of the costs.

We've aggregated and organized the public peak surcharges for popular services here - View Peak Surcharges.

You can reference each carrier site for more comprehensive information: USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL eCommerce.
