Warning: DON'T USE FEDEX WHEN SHIPPING SKIS
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2014 12:02 am
I recently shipped some skis to my son and made the mistake of using FedEx. I did it online as I had an account and the price seemed reasonable. I put in all the box dimensions and weighed it and the price for ground shipping was close to $40. I printed the label and dropped it off at a pickup location thinking all was fine.
A month later I see my credit card is charged for $134 and after investigating they list my package as 94 lbs. and 8 feet long when it was actually 16 lbs. and under 6 feet long.
Disputing the charge with FedEx was denied and now I am left with disputing the charge with my credit card company. Hopefully they will back me up but it is a pain in the ass that I shouldn't have to deal with.
After doing some research FedEx overcharges on a regular basis. I guess the 16.5 million lawsuit that they had to pay for a class action lawsuit for overcharging hasn't deterred them from continuing this unethical fraudulent practice.
