FedEx Files Lawsuit Against MyPillow & CEO Mike Lindell For $8.8 Million In Unpaid Delivery & Late Fees

FedEx has filed a lawsuit against MyPillow, alleging that the company refused to pay them $8.8 million in delivery and late fees.

Court documents reveal that MyPillow and FedEx’s business relationship started in February 2021. Since then, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has accumulated a bill of $8.8 million in delivery and late fees. According to the lawsuit filed in Memphis, Tennessee, federal court last week, his failure to pay constitutes a “breach of contract.”

Lindell gained prominence as an avid supporter of Donald Trump‘s conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election.

The two companies’ relationship was reviewed in 2024, and since then, MyPillow has been slow to pay its bills, according to the documents mentioned. 

By December 2024, FedEx stopped shipping MyPillow products due to the company’s failure to pay. At that point, FedEx stated that it was owed approximately $8.5 million. Court documents state that the current figure owed is due to late fees.

“We will not comment further on pending litigation,” a FedEx spokesperson told the New York Post.

Lindell has been spending a lot of time in court recently. 

In a ruling issued on Feb. 21, 2024, a federal judge confirmed that Lindell must pay $5 million as a result of a contest he organized at one of his “cyber symposium” events following the 2020 presidential election.

At the event, which Lindell hosted, participants were invited to participate in a “Prove Mike Wrong” challenge. This challenge gave people a chance to win $5 million if they could prove that the data the MyPillow CEO presented about the 2020 election was false election data. The contest rules stated that participants could use arbitration if necessary.

Robert Zeidman, a software developer, accepted this challenge and issued a comprehensive 15-page report claiming that Lindell’s data had nothing to do with elections and did not display any fraud, as confirmed by the federal court’s ruling.

According to a lawsuit filed in Minnesota last December, Lindell sued two financial service companies. His lawyers declared that instead of giving him the loan he asked for to save MyPillow, the companies tricked him into taking $1.6 million at a 409% yearly interest rate, which is more money than he can pay back.

The two small financial services firms gave the CEO a merchant cash advance—an agreement that allows for the bypass of laws that limit interest rates on business loans—when the company was particularly strapped for cash. Merchant cash advances are designed for companies that need funding urgently.

The agreement Lindell called for MyPillow to make 50 daily payments of a little more than $45,000, which would total $2.3 million once fulfilled. 

However, Lindell’s lawyers declared in the lawsuit that the loan conditions were intentionally vague and meant to be misunderstood.

Lindell has recently accused Fox News of canceling him after refusing to run ads for his company.
