Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

When you say "they charged you", how exactly did they do that? Did you give them a credit card number? Is there an online account display that you are viewing? Where are you seeing this charge that has been applied?

When you sign up you have to proivide credit card information so they can bill you when you ship and buy supplies. I found out they took $20 when I checked my bank statement. Nowhere in the whole process of signing up did it say I would be charged for anything.

My contract states live harmless reptiles. This includes snakes and lizards. I did this as we're just now starting the snake side of the business but are primarily lizards and wanted to be cleared for both.
It's been so long since I signed up for Fedex (over 2 years as I signed up with both UPS and Fedex when I started the business so I'd have accounts just incase) but they didn't ask for credit card information at the time.
It's probably an error but I'd be bent as well.

Well, I know I opened my acct. before the 13th of Feb. Reason I mention the 13th is that I also just got my credit card statement in the mail and it goes through the 13th and mentions nothing about it. NOT to say it won't happen, but I DO know I was told it was free.

I'll figure it all out on Monday when I call them. This is just too strange.

Just to clarify, I did what I'm presuming Joel & Robert did in order to see what's going on.
When you get to fedex.com, there's two links for opening an account. The first is link just gets you an account number. The second link signs you up for an account with "Online Express Shipping with 10% discount."
When signing up for Online Express Shipping with 10% discount, the site requires that you enter your credit card info. However, there is nothing that I could find in their FAQ or terms that mentioned or authorized a charge to your account.
We'll see if my account is debited as well.

Ken,
After reading their posts earlier I did the same research as you have. I did not find anyting that speaks to such charges. I also did the same, in signing up, with teh credit card and the 10% discount on shipments.
There has to be a simple reason and/or error as to why these charges happened.
Like I said, and I have the statement in front of me, I was not charged anything.....hopefully it will stay that way!

I signed up on Thursday (2-19) and I signed up for the regular free account (I could not figure out why they wanted to give me 10% off for no apparent reason, and I worry about Hidden fees) I did not order any labels or anything (Havn't figured out how to order the "Free" labels, and I don't want to buy anything yet)
It did ask for my card #. I did give it. I just checked my account and I have not been billed anything. It is possible that if they tried to bill something it won't go through until Monday. I will keep an eye out.
