FedEx has filed a lawsuit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell for nearly $9 million in unpaid delivery fees. According to the records, MyPillow and FedEx started doing business together in February 2021. Lindell has since avoided paying $8.8 million late fees and delivery charges. FedEx stated that Lindell’s decision to not pay was a breach of contract of their agreed deal. The two firm’s business relation was assessed in 2024, and as per the documents, MyPillow has been paying its debts slowly ever since then. FedEx stopped providing its services to MyPillow in December as MyPillow avoided paying the required fees. FedEx claimed that they owed $8.5 million at that time.
FedEx and MyPillow
FedEx
FedEx is an international expert in shipping, online shopping, and business services, providing several solutions to businesses and individuals all over the world. They are well-known for their quick shipment services, but they also offer freight, logistics, and other services. FedEx, started in 1971 as Federal Express, has evolved into a multinational business that provides several services.
MyPillow
MyPillow is an American pillow manufacturing firm. Mike Lindell launched the company in 2009 with the invention and copyright of MyPillow, an open-cell, poly-foam design. Lindell’s Night Moves Minnesota, LLC sold Pillows from 2004 until 2009. The company started with just five people and as it grew, the workforce increased to around 1,500 in a decade.
Legal battle between FedEx and MyPillow
MyPillow has been a target of several lawsuits in Minnesota and other states in recent years. In February, FedEx sued MyPillow for failing to pay delivery costs totaling more than $9 million. In January, a Hennepin County judge ordered MyPillow to pay back almost $800,000 to DHL, which is also a delivery service firm. This marks the third time, in which a shipping service asks the court to settle a dispute with MyPillow. Extend Inc., a company that offers product protection and extended warranties, sued MyPillow in August 2024 for over half a million dollars for unpaid invoices produced from a 2022 contract.
Without getting into the politics that most support the financial situation, the FedEx complaint briefly details each party’s attempts to preserve their business relationship. The shipping company claims that the terms of the contract indicate that invoices must be paid within fifteen days of the invoice date and that late fines equal to eight percent of the entire amount that is due may be assessed for bills that are not paid on time. When MyPillow finally started to slow down its payments in September 2024, the company’s activities involving those terms got serious.
On January 13, 2025, My Pillow received confirmation in writing that its FedEx shipping services would be discontinued entirely in 30 days due to unpaid debts. FedEx claims that since getting the letter, MyPillow hasn’t made any payments and that the bills, which include late fees, are growing. Violating the proposed agreement was what made FedEx sue MyPillow. A similar example of a high-stakes legal dispute involving a popular brand can be seen in the Disney Moana Copyright Lawsuit, where Disney successfully defended itself against claims of intellectual property theft.
