FedEx billing online is a wonderful tool. Unfortunately, many customers pay their carrier invoices too quickly. The surprising fact is this may cost more money in the long run. FedEx will deny late package refunds on the money-back guarantee for some service levels if the invoice has been paid.
When should you pay the FedEx invoice?
Our suggestion: pay the invoice 3-5 business days before it’s due. As a result, this allows plenty of time for disputing and ensures you avoid late fees. Of course, Refund Retriever will continue disputing whether an invoice is paid or not.

- Do not schedule credit card payments.
- Pay the FedEx invoice 3-5 days before the due date.
