SAN FRANCISCO — The rising fuel costs amid the war in Iran mean it will cost you more to get packages delivered.
Starting April 17, Amazon will apply new surcharges to its sellers. UPS, FedEx, and USPS have also added fuel surcharges to counter rising fuel costs.
Rising fuel prices mean sticker shock at the pump for many drivers.
“It’s $137 dollars. That’s significant,” said Jill from Pleasant Hill. That’s how much it cost her to gas up on Sunday.
The Strait of Hormuz has remained closed since the U.S. and Israel began their war with Iran. It’s a critical shipping route for crude exports from major oil producers. The closure has pushed oil prices higher and driven up gasoline costs.
