DX Express: Fuel Surcharge on DX Courier & DX Secure Services
Read about our fuel surcharge background, policy and current ruling price.
Background
- Diesel prices represent a highly significant element of our overall cost base.
- We seek to offset cost increases through improved efficiencies, however, they are such that they must be passed to our customers as a fuel surcharge
- In establishing this fuel surcharge, we seek to be:
- Comparable with our competitors and market practise
- Clear and consistent: surcharges are based on average prices published by the AA
- Fair and honest: surcharges go up and down in line with published prices
