CHICAGO Oct 26 (Reuters) - Package delivery company FedEx Corp (FDX.N) said on Friday that net average rates at its express delivery unit would rise 4.9 percent in 2008.

Rates at FedEx Express will rise by 6.9 percent, but will be partially offset by a 2 percentage point reduction in the fuel surcharge FedEx charges customers.

The new rates will be effective as of Jan. 7 and will apply to U.S. and U.S. export express packages and freight shipments.

Rates and surcharges at ground delivery unit FedEx Ground are also set to increase. Those changes will be announced later this year, the Memphis-based company said. (Reporting by Nick Carey, editing by Gerald E. McCormick)
