Surprise, AZ. Sponsored Topics. Surprise is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. The population was 30,848 at the 2000 census; however, rapid growth has boosted the city's population to 117,517 at the 2010 census, an increase of 281%.
This means that the cost for shipping large, lightweight products â like a purse or a backpack â will be significantly higher in 2015 than it is today. If you are using FedEx or UPS Ground for shipping, itâs pivotal to determine now whether you will be impacted by dimensional weight pricing. Multiply the length, width and height of your package and divide it by 166 (the standard dimensional factor used by FedEx and UPS for domestic Ground shipments).
(Spoiler Alert: USPS rates give FedEx and UPS Ground services a run for its money.) While the U.S. Postal Service did not change its shipping rates in January 2015, the carrier will be implementing changes to its shipping costs on May 31st, 2015. Stay tuned for more info on that in the coming weeks.
