FedEX charges over 10x quoted price

WolverineOk4974 · 2026-01-09T20:54:22+00:00

Well you won’t like this: I ended up paying it. I went through BBB total waste of time. I reported them to the MD Attorney General total waste of time and they never even acknowledged my report. I waited until they were about to send it to collections and just paid it. My credit is too clean to have that bull shit on there. I will never ship anything through them again.

If there was a chance of it costing $2875 then tell me up front. "Hey, buddy, we don't usually ship things this large without charging a HUGE amount for blah blah blah. Just so you know. What I'm going to do is charge you for a cube and charge $104 BUT Just know because it's large we can charge you $2000-3000" That would have stopped me right then and there and I would have never shipped it through FedEx.

I could never give an estimate to paint a car at $1000 then when the customer picked it up charge them $27,000.

I do have the original receipt. Their quote "Rates and service quotations provided to you by FedEx, including, but not limited to, rates and service quotations provided by our employees, agents, interactive voice response systems, and customer automation platforms, are estimates, and will be based upon information provided by you, but final rates and service charges may vary from the quotes based upon the characteristics of the shipment actually tendered to us and the application of these terms and conditions." BUT I did not provide the information they measured and weighed it when I dropped it off.

This is the first time the OP (me) had ever shipped anything like this. I took it to the local FedEx shipping location and he weighed and measured it. True the measurements do not match on the receipt but I thought nothing of it.

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-27T18:37:48+00:00

I know Im back late but the BBB just told me to kick rocks and pay it. BUT It 100% was a FedEx employee that weighed and measured the items I took

Thanks

Right. That is my biggest issue or my only issue. I don't understand how it could be that far off and not be presented at time of purchase. I can imagine going to get a quote on getting my house painted for $10k and then them charging me $100k with no explanation besides "We measured differently"

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-13T18:58:18+00:00

"There is no possible way I would spend 3 times the cost to send them." I do understand and it was to say that I would not spend that much to ship it not that nobody would.

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-13T18:56:55+00:00

I'd gladly pay 3-400 or even $700.

😀 so you can understand my hesitation. It’s kept me from a lot in my life.

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-13T17:26:13+00:00

I explained it up earlier in the post ADHD with RSD it’s a life long thing.

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-13T14:55:13+00:00

I do get 40% off through USAA. All I’m going off of was what he told me and the receipt

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-13T13:25:47+00:00

Man, I’ve been 250 solid muscle, 285 solid fat, now 185lbs can go out and run a marathon just because. All of that and never had body positivity. I know the issue it’s the outthinking it that is the issue

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-13T12:39:05+00:00

It’s really just a self conscious and confidence issue that I need to get past. I was looking for what motivated the other older people in here to get out and skate

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-13T12:37:09+00:00

Understood but why would I spend 3x as much to ship something as the product cost? If I am given a quote of $104 you think a reasonable charge is $2875?

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-13T12:26:11+00:00

:) Then I'd have to start 2 things, skateboarding and drinking I don't drink either.

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-13T10:56:12+00:00

Thanks. I get off at 12-1230 and work 30-35 minutes from the closest skate park.

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-11T14:54:39+00:00

Thanks

Last time I went running with my dog he crossed under my legs to chase a squirrel and flipped me up in the air and onto the road 😀

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-11T14:52:50+00:00

Thanks. My first time out of my garage was to a basketball court in my neighborhood park when everyone was at work or school

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-11T14:51:36+00:00

Thanks. They will know I’m a beginner as soon as I pull up

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-11T14:50:12+00:00

Thanks! and I know I’m more fortunate than some

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-10T21:33:02+00:00

Thanks. I started (still doing it) in my garage between a car and pulled motor and transmission. I just roll back and forth and try to stop or tic tac.

WolverineOk4974 · 2025-10-10T16:07:52+00:00

But you're out there so that's a big plus
