NSGA Members Can Offset Shipping Increases with PartnerShip

DOWNERS GROVE, ILLINOIS (November 17, 2025) – National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA) members can offset 2026 shipping rate increases by using the PartnerShip program.

NSGA members can take advantage of the exclusive FedEx discounts offered and save 40% on expedited shipments and 30% on standard shipments by enrolling in this free benefit program. NSGA’s FedEx Advantage Program provider, PartnerShip, has put together a helpful report so you can see exactly what to expect and how to manage these price hikes. Both of these resources are a great way to stay ahead of rising costs and keep your shipping budget for 2026 in check.

FedEx and UPS are raising their shipping rates by an average of 5.9% in 2026 and surcharges are increasing as well, with a likely total cost increase of nearly 10%, according to figures from PartnerShip.
