Maximizing Efficiency
Understanding the Difference Between Pre-Audit and Post-Audit Processes
FedEx Pre-audit
Our pre-audit services identify billing discrepancies before payment, minimizing errors and reducing financial impact. Without a FedEx pre-audit, companies risk missing overcharge refunds.
FedEx Post-audit
Post-audits review invoices after payment to identify errors and recover funds. While ICC Logistics offers FedEx post-audit services, refunds may be delayed as errors are identified post-payment and require follow-up with FedEx.
Pre-audits offer visibility into actual shipping costs, helping track expenses against contracts and budgets.
Don't let potential revenue slip through the cracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
My FedEx invoice is incorrect, what should I do?
If you notice inaccuracies on your FedEx invoice, it’s essential to address them promptly. Contact ICC Logistics, and our team of expert auditors will assist you in obtaining all of the refunds your company is entitled to.
Should I audit FedEx invoices on my own?
In-house auditing of FedEx invoices is not only complex but extremely time-consuming. Without the audit technology and manual audit overview ICC provides, there is no way for in-house audits to capture all of the errors our system will uncover. Partnering with ICC Logistics ensures thorough and accurate auditing, saving you valuable time and resources.
How much money can auditing my FedEx invoices save me?
Depending on the suite of ICC Logistics Parcel Audit Services, shippers have seen ROI’s up to 5% of their annual net spend.
What happens if you dispute an invoice with FedEx?
As an ICC client, if you dispute an invoice with FedEx, ICC Logistics will handle the communication and negotiation process on your behalf to ensure a satisfactory resolution.
Does FedEx allow their invoices to be audited by a third-party company?
Yes, FedEx allows third-party companies like ICC Logistics to audit their invoices, providing an opportunity for shippers to identify billing errors and recover refunds.
Will my relationship with FedEx be affected when I hire a parcel audit company to audit my invoices?
Hiring a parcel audit company like ICC Logistics won’t negatively impact your relationship with FedEx. It presents an opportunity to improve service quality and billing accuracy.
What other documents do you need to start the audit process?
To start the audit process, ICC Logistics typically requires online billing access to your FedEx invoices and all current carrier agreements or contracts.
How do I receive the refund credits your FedEx audit services generated?
Refund credits can be applied directly to the invoice related to the charges. You can then make a partial payment (short pay) for the adjusted amount. Alternatively, the refund will be issued back to you using the same payment method you used to pay FedEx.
