Perhaps a public service announcement. I just discovered that the charges for many recent FedEx shipments of mine have shown up on my credit card vastly higher than the quoted price from the online tool. One of them was $40 higher ($110 charge vs. $70 online quote when buying label)! And I verified that the weight on FedEx's scale matched the weight on my scale before leaving it with FedEx to ship.
I haven't yet figured out how to contest these charges, but will update if I figure it out ... the website seems engineered to not give you an easy avenue to do so.
Edit: Ok here's the page that summarizes your online activity: https://www.fedex.com/fedexbillingonline/pages/accountsummary/accountSummaryFBO.xhtml
If you ship FedEx and use the online tool to buy your shipping labels, I'd recommend checking your credit card bill to make sure the final charges match the online prices.
