Fed Ex billed me for a shipping!

Wow I didnt know how much a loan package costs to send out over FEDEX.
$40.79 dollars from Souther Ca to Northen CA.

For some reason they charge me, because I wrote my name in the sender section
but the recp. party acct. number was wrong and they just bill me.

I called fed ex and they removed that amount from my account.

In the future I will write in the sender section the receiving party.

My accountt number wasnt in the airbill, they just match my name in my city.

I never put my name on the FedX slip. I just put the name that the Fedx number belongs to. Never had a problem. I hate having to deal with another bureaucracy to correct something.

They will probably charge you $10 to correct the billing error. You may want to check with them.

Never ever put your name/address/phone/ cell on a UPS or Fedex Bill. The "Sender's Address" is also the "Recipients Address."

If a title/lender/escrow office doesn't give you their Fedex/UPS Account number simply drop the loan docs in the Fedex/UPS street box and mark the square: Payment: to Receipent.

If it costs so much to send docs Fedex...

then SS's and TC's shouldn't mind paying at least $40 for edocs to be sent to us. They're actually saving money when they pay us only $25-$30 and they aren't using their paper, toner, drum, etc. Hmmmmmmmm......

large companies get discounts due to the volume of packages they send/receive. I saw a sheet one time from one of the nationwide vendor management companies mixed in w/the docs and the actual costs were $4.??.
