How to Fight FedEx Fees by Yourself
Your first step is to gather relevant documents (invoices, credit card statements, manifests, and the like.)
- Head over to the FedEx customer service page
- Scroll down, in the lower right corner, click the find phone numbers and service type link
- Choose the service you used for this shipment, or click the general type of customer you are if you handle many shipments through FedEx.
- Click your country/continent/region
- Many US billing issues can be handled at (800) 622-1147
- Now bounce around the phone prompts until you speak to a human. This might take a while!
- Explain your situation and ask for the fees to be waived.
- Most times, the rep won't be able to manage your request. Document their name and the time of your phone call.
- Ask to speak to a manager.
- You'll receive a complaint number, and you'll be told that a manager will call you back.
It's a huge pain in the rump to fight FedEx fees by yourself. The company has a reputation for poor customer service for these kinds of complaints. They want you to give up.
If You Are a Regular Us Customer Try This Form
The FedEx website says some billing disputes can be handled online with this form. However, there are hundreds of complaints and reviews online that suggest this form won't work or that the customer never heard anything back from FedEx.
- Check out the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and you'll see what we mean.
- FedEx has had more than 11,000 complaints in the last three years at the time of writing!
Don't forget, DoNotPay is the faster, easier way to appeal fees and waive charges. And you might be using it often if you deal with FedEx a lot. They have a reputation for price hikes and unfair fees.
FedEx Has a Reputation for Increasing Prices Often
Most recently, in the news, FedEx rolled out a 4.95% price increase. While we understand that fuel costs and the price of labor will always increase, it's not fair that the shipping monster can charge more for their service and tack surprise charges onto your bill. Fight back with DoNotPay!
