Has anyone experienced a "fuel surcharge" yet?
I use a grocery delivery company in NYC called Fresh Direct cause I live in a walk up and their prices for most things are actually cheaper than what's at my nearest supermarket.

Just noticed last night in addition to the delivery charge, there's now a one dollar "fuel surcharge"

5. Yes - on UPS shipments
We ship lots of stuff from our store and we've been shocked by how much the UPS charges have gone up (with the added fuel surcharge).
