Any other information about payment terms
Payment terms do vary across suppliers mainly based on the type of service provided and the nature of the supplier. The agreed payment terms with suppliers range from payable immediately to the longest agreed payment terms which are payable 60 calendar days of the end of the calendar month in which FedEx Express UK Transportation Limited receives a correctly rendered invoice. Once an individual payment term is agreed with a supplier FedEx Express UK Transportation Limited will not unilaterally change the agreed payment term without the agreement of the supplier.
Dispute resolution process
To raise a complaint or concern related to payment of invoices, suppliers should initially contact FedEx Express UK Transportation Limited’s purchase-to-payment department who conduct an initial investigation into the reason for non-payment and where possible will resolve simple, straight forward issues, for example, unreceived invoices, administrative errors and purchase order discrepancies. The purchase-to-payment department aim to investigate complaints within 7 days of receipt. Disputes involving more complex issues such as non-performance, pricing discrepancies or breach of contractual terms will be referred to FedEx Express UK Transportation Limited’s Procurement teams to liaise with the supplier.
