Interestingly, I have a FedEx account, and have never been billed for
charges supposedly charged to my account. I've sent a number of
packages, and not one received a bill. I've even gone in to the office
to ask, and they tell me I have no outstanding balance. I stopped using
it because I was concerned that I'd get one massive bill 5 years down
the road. But now it's been over 5 years and no bill.
