Acquisition of Cory only Hunt’s third deal in nearly three decades.

Parcel giant UPS announced plans to increase fees for overweight shipments as the company continues to try and discourage shippers from dumping their large items into UPS’ network designed from small packages.

UPS is currently in talks with at least one trucking company to start an in-home delivery service for large goods such as appliances and furniture. This move could provide a competitive advantage for UPS, and allow the company to take advantage of the rapid growth in e-commerce sales of larger items.
