Just noticed FedEx charges on my credit card and called to check. Turns
out, as of August 2025, they’ve started charging for pickups without
showing any receipt or warning during booking. The charges only show up
later in Delivery Manager: anywhere f...
Hi all, I’m trying to set up a shipping discount where buyers get free
shipping up to a certain amount ($10), and anything above that, they pay
the difference. For example, if calculated shipping is $9, the buyer
pays $0; if it’s $13, the buyer pays ...
First time I’ve seen this. I shipped a standard 16x14x5 inch box, 6.9

calculated shipping at $18.75. FedEx hit me with a $31.50 irregular
packaging fee and said the box was 8 lbs. ...
@kalyoth If there had been any notice about the cost, I definitely would

@kalyoth How is it not insane to be charged $50 for a single 25 lb box

shipping label, the price is shown before you confirm. That
communication you mentioned (if people even noti...
Just to be clear, I’m not against a business charging fees if that’s
what they need to be profitable, and it’s up to the customer to decide
whether to use the service or not. What I’m upset about is that FedEx
didn’t show these charges in the app dur...
And I can assure you, pickups were free until August 2025. I generally
avoid FedEx because they’re notorious for other bogus charges, like $30
for "irregular packaging" if you use too much tape, or inflated
weight/dimensions, even when rounded up cor...
Thanks for confirming that it is not possible. Now I can stop digging.
Some types of items are hard to sell if the listing doesn’t include
"Free Shipping", so doing a refund afterward wouldn't really achieve my
goal.
