"Resolve" involved charging us $600 and threatening not to send the crate to our next regional.

I could see having an issue if I went and weighed my crate on some random scale, and then it came out that they weighed it as more. That's fine.

Something tells me that FedEx is going to weigh your crate fairly accurately though... I mean, they've been doing this for how many years?

280 and 400+ lbs is a MASSIVE difference. Im not sure I would go as far as to say that they're purposely trying to screw people out of their money, but the amount of fees we got hit with was ridiculous
