United Parcel Service will raise rates for 2015 an average 4.9 percent for Ground, Air, International, UPS Freight, and UPS air freight service within and between the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. The new rates begin Dec. 29.

The company raised rates an average 4.9 percent for 2014.

In another rate change, Atlanta-based UPS (NYSE: UPS) said in June it will apply dimensional weight pricing to all UPS Ground services and UPS Standard to Canada packages. The dimensional weight pricing takes effect Dec. 29.

UPS already applies this pricing method for UPS air service (domestic and international), UPS Standard to Mexico ground service and UPS Ground packages and for UPS Standard to Canada packages measuring 3 cubic feet in size or larger.
