I would say the pictures from paul showing the box weighing 1.02lb and the weight on the label at exactly 1.00lb are pretty normal.
Lets say there had been an ackie in there and it would have pushed the weight up to even just 1.5lb total then the label would have been rounded up to 2.0lb as Fedex do not deal in fractions of a lb.

However there is also this to consider.
It does look like the label is a home printed one and if that is the case when you make your label online it only knows what you tell it, so you could punch in 1.0lb for weight even if box was truly say 1.7lb. The label will only show the 1.0lb entered not the true shipped weight, you would need to see a copy of the senders actual Fedex billing which shows actual weight AFTER it was scanned and weighed at whatever location it was dropped off at.

So with all that being said at this point it is still a he said/she said situation.
Without either a boxing or unboxing video at either end, either party could be telling the truth or untruths.

Somebody is going to end up being out a sum of money on this one unfortunately.

The label says 1 lb which is what the empty box without ackie weighs

True but if you also bother to read my post you will see I said the 1.0lb on the SELF PRINTED label has NOTHING to do with actual weight of the box, it is just the figure the seller punched in while creating the label.
That I know for a fact as I create my own labels all the time and it only shows what you personally enter.

Shoot, I could ship a 10lb box and enter it as 1lb while making the label.
Then when it was scanned it would show up as 10lb IN THE SYSTEM but still the label would show just 1lb!
When my monthly bill for fedex becomes due I would see they charged me for ACTUAL WEIGHT of 10lb not the 1lb I entered.

Do you now see my point?

Ok I don't ship so I missed your point

No problem and just to be absolutely clear I am not taking any sides here at all.
Just pointing out why the 1.0lb printed on the label cannot be taken as an absolute guarantee that nothing was shipped in the box.
As I said without definitive proof one way or another this is a tough one.
Sorry and good luck.

I am falling for you, but I warn you that sometimes the love you get might not be the love you want. In other words, knock your nonsense off.

Paul, will Fedex give you any information at all? I know they said the sender has to file the claim, but could you request the actual weight of the package?

I will beall them when I get home I know they face me the senders phone number to contact him and of course that was no good

That's a good idea, especially since it seems the seller has no interest in figuring out what has happened to the ackie that he says was in the box. His disinterest is suspicious, if I had shipped an animal & my buyer said the box was empty, I'd be on the phone to FedEx in a heartbeat to figure out where the animal was.

If the animal escaped from the shipping box during shipment, the bag would be torn, the box would be torn also. Is the box intact on all sides? If so, then you can rule out any claim that the animal must of escaped by itself during shipping.
