KEY POINTS
Federal Express sued the U.S. government, seeking a “full refund” of the money the shipping giant paid for tariffs unilaterally imposed by Donald Trump, which the Supreme Court last week ruled were illegal.
FedEx’s suit appears to be the first one filed by a major U.S. company after the Supreme Court decision seeking a refund of the tariffs it has paid.
Other companies filed lawsuits seeking refunds before the high court ruled that the tariffs Trump imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act are illegal.
I needed a replacement for an item hat failed under warranty. The original part was made in Canada, and a replacement was mailed to me free of charge. Except, I got a note from FedEx that i had to pay tarriffs… My tariff was $5, but FedEx was charging a $25 tariff handling fee on top of the $5. And if I didn’t prepay, they would instead charge $40 total to collect my $5 tarriff.
FUCK FedeEx for having the audacity to request a refund from the federal government on top of their blind extortion. These fuckers need to burn.
They’ll charge you another $25 fee to process your $5 refund if you want it.
Edit: this was a joke … i just realized someone that paid a very big tariff might actually think they were offering a refund for $25 and would want it.
