So, you're saying that to "keep in the good graces" of a company you'll
just blindly pay whatever invoice they send you?

Frankly I can't fathom that being any sort of business oriented
viewpoint.

If a company bills incorrectly wouldn't it be a better idea to call them
on it and have it corrected?

Of course you can run a business any way you'd like, I personally won't
be paying bills that I don't have to, it just doesn't make any sense to
me.

As for FedEx, they aren't the only game in town, and were they sending
me bills and cutting off services for bills I didn't owe I think I'd
switch to one of their competitors.=20

For the record, I've never seen FedEx do anything of the sort (in fact
I've only had good experienced with FedEx), and they are my second
choice when sending a parcel (my first choice being the post office).
