Fedex is a RIP-OFF artist that needs to be made to account for its insidious practices. I received a parcel from the US valued at a TOTAL of US$105 - but received a Fedex import charge invoice for £35.76. According to my FX converter, $105 = £83.19573. VAT at 20% thus comes to £16.64 (rounded up). Fedex charges an egregiously exorbitant £12 for its robot to issue the invoice. Even with this RIP-OFF charge, this should result in a charge of no more than £28.64. Whilst the extra £7.12 is not going to bankrupt me, it is just plain piracy. Imaging them doing the same to thousands of victims every day - knowing that most will not be bothered to check/argue. Additionally, contacting them in anyway is deliberately made difficult by their system (if that is not the case, then their programmers must be pretty pathetic!) - no doubt to dissuade contacts and complaints. A true pirate operation if I ever saw one! Avoid using Fedex like the plague and don't invest in this crooked company...
