Why the Small-Shipment Revolution Is Breaking Parcel Networks

from The Supply Chain Economy with Fexingo: Logistics, Shipping, and Goods Movement · host Fexingo

E-commerce has supercharged demand for small-parcel delivery, but the networks that carry those packages are hitting capacity limits. Lucas and Luna break down how the surge in sub-5-pound shipments—up 18% year-over-year by volume—is pressuring sorting centers, driver availability, and last-mile margins. They examine why FedEx and UPS are adding surcharges for residential delivery and how regional carriers like OnTrac and LaserShip are stepping in. With warehouse vacancy near zero, the bottleneck is shifting from storage to sortation. This episode explains the hidden logistics crisis inside your doorstep delivery. #SmallParcel #EcommerceLogistics #LastMileDelivery #FedEx #UPS #OnTrac #CapacityConstraints #ParcelNetworks #ShippingSurcharges #ResidentialDelivery #SortationCenters #SupplyChainBottleneck #Warehousing #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Logistics #DeliveryInfrastructure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
