FedEx Delivery and Pick Up Area Surcharge Update

Effective Date: July 20, 2026 (announced on June 19, 2026)
Reviewed & Verified by:

Summary

FedEx is updating its Delivery Area Surcharge (DAS) and Pickup Area Surcharge (PAS) ZIP code lists effective July 20, 2026. Across the three contiguous U.S. tiers, 102 ZIP codes are being added to the standard DAS tier, 74 are moving from standard to Extended, and 63 are moving from Extended to Remote — the highest-cost tier. Alaska, Hawaii, and Intra-Hawaii ZIP lists are unchanged. Because FedEx uses identical ZIP lists for both DAS and PAS, all changes apply equally to both surcharges.

Analysis

The most significant shipper impact comes from the 63 ZIP codes promoted from Extended to Remote, which carry the steepest per-package rate increase. For DAS, the move from Extended to Remote represents an increase of $11.20 per package for commercial shipments and $7.95 per package for residential shipments. The 74 ZIP codes moving from standard to Extended are a more modest increase — $1.10 commercial and $2.20 residential per package. The 102 ZIP codes newly entering the standard tier will begin incurring a DAS charge for the first time at $4.45 commercial or $6.60 residential per package. For PAS, the Extended-to-Remote move adds $7.20 per stop and the standard-to-Extended move adds $2.10 per stop for residential on-call pickups.

Impact on Shippers

Shippers with volume destined to or picked up from any of the reclassified ZIP codes will see higher per-package surcharge costs beginning July 20. The Extended-to-Remote promotions carry the largest dollar impact and should be the first priority for shipper review. The 102 ZIP codes newly added to the standard tier will generate DAS and PAS charges where none previously applied. Because the ZIP lists are identical for DAS and PAS, shippers should evaluate exposure on both the delivery and pickup sides simultaneously.

Key Takeaways

💡 FedEx is reclassifying ZIP codes across all three contiguous U.S. DAS and PAS tiers effective July 20, 2026 — Alaska, Hawaii, and Intra-Hawaii are unchanged.

💡 74 ZIP codes move from standard to Extended DAS at +$1.10/package commercial and +$2.20/package residential.
💡 102 ZIP codes are newly added to the standard DAS tier and will incur surcharges for the first time at $4.45 commercial or $6.60 residential per package.
💡 FedEx uses identical ZIP lists for DAS and PAS — all reclassifications apply to both surcharges simultaneously, and shippers should audit exposure on delivery and pickup activity alike before July 20.
