Pricing Incrementalism and Why It Matters

By Joe Wilkinson

Remember the good old days when parcel carriers would increase rates and surcharges once per year? I certainly do. Annual General Rate Increases (GRIs) rarely touched underlying logic. They were typically just adjustments to list rates and surcharge amounts. Oh sure, every year would come with a changing surcharge definition, or an adjustment to the DIM factor, or something else fundamental to the pricing logic. But, generally speaking, pricing changed once per year. That’s no longer the case.
