UPS will pay $ 8.4 million to solve US charge overload problem

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 (Reuters) – The US Department of Justice said United Parcel Service Inc. has agreed to pay $ 8.4 million to the United States to resolve allegations of excessive charges against federal agencies for parcel delivery services.

The regulation resolves allegations that, between 2007 and 2014, UPS failed to comply with its US contract which required it to provide agencies with certain lower prices offered to another customer, which required the government to pay more. than it should have for parcel delivery, the government said.

The Department of Justice said that there had been no determination of liability in the regulation that covers the ground delivery service. (Report by David Shepardson edited by Chris Reese)
