Not only that but FedEx (and UPS, DHL, etc) charge a extortionate brokerage fee to the recipient for the privilege of having them front the tariff for you.

The money is not FedEx’s to keep and they will get sued if they try. There are also records of all the tariffs they have paid and on whose behalf so it’s not like they don’t know who to provide the refund to.
