United Parcel Service will raise rates an average 4.9 percent Dec. 29 across its ground, air, international and freight services within and between the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.

The company raised rates an average 4.9 percent this year as well.

Atlanta-based UPS (NYSE: UPS)also will apply dimensional-weight pricing to all UPS Ground services and UPS Standard to Canada packages. That pricing method, which the company says "encourages reductions in excess packaging materials and overall package sizes, leading to reduced fuel use, vehicle emissions and transportation costs," also takes effect Dec. 29.
