Background of Lawsuit
PYNQ Logistics Services, Inc. v. FedEx Ground Package Systems, Inc.
United States District Court (Northern District of California)
PYNQ, a small company that was contracted with FedEx Ground to deliver packages in rural coastal communities near the California-Oregon border lost its business as a result of unfair treatment and deceptive practices that are widespread and embedded throughout the delivery giant’s business model, according to a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on November 14, 2023.
The complaint alleges that FedEx Ground’s conduct rises to a level that the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) applies, along with allegations of violating California’s Unfair Competition Law, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation, among others. The lawsuit was filed by Possinger Law Group, PLLC of Woodinville, WA and Berman North, LLP, San Francisco, CA.
