Each year, carriers adjust rates and surcharges ahead of peak season to account for higher parcel volume, rising labor
and transportation costs, and network capacity limits. Every carrier we work with has announced peak changes for this
season, and as your 3PL those increases will be reflected on your account.
As in past peak seasons, the Atomix Peak Fee also applies during this window. It helps cover the additional labor,
staffing, and operating costs required to keep fulfillment running smoothly through our busiest time of year.
CHARGE 1
Carrier Peak Surcharge
A flat per-order amount by service level that passes
through carrier peak and demand increases. Steps up

CHARGE 2
Atomix Peak Fee
Our seasonal peak fee, applied each peak season: a flat

Per-Order Charges by Ship Week
Windows follow ship date. Service level is the Atomix ship method on each order as it appears on your invoice.
Package-specific charges
Carrier charges tied to an individual package, such as
Additional Handling or Oversize, continue to bill as they
occur, per your rate card.
On your invoice
