Maine wreath company sues FedEx, says it overbilled

BANGOR – A Maine wreath maker has sued FedEx for allegedly overbilling it by more than $350,000.

The Bangor Daily News reports that the parent company of Worcester Wreath Co. filed the suit in federal court last month.

The suit alleges FedEx was supposed to bill Amazon for the shipping of wreaths sold through the online retailer last holiday season, but instead charged the wreath company.

The suit says the company continued to be billed after notifying FedEx, and some payments were drafted directly from the company’s bank account. When the wreath company withheld other payments, FedEx threatened to stop shipping their products.

FedEx did not respond to a request for comment.
