FedEx has asked a federal judge to force MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to pay more than $2 million in damages related to unpaid shipping debts. The delivery service claims Lindell made false promises to keep shipments moving on credit, even as FedEx was preparing to revoke MyPillow's credit privileges or turn the account over to debt collectors. FedEx says it has not received any of the $2.67 million owed since a default judgment was entered against Lindell and MyPillow in 2025.

Why it matters

This case highlights the ongoing legal troubles facing Mike Lindell, the outspoken CEO of MyPillow. Lindell has faced a number of lawsuits and sanctions in recent years, including a $56,369 judgment from Smartmatic for refusing to pay court-ordered sanctions. The FedEx dispute is another example of Lindell's business practices coming under legal scrutiny.

The details

In March 2025, FedEx filed a federal lawsuit against MyPillow and Lindell in Tennessee, seeking nearly $9 million in unpaid shipping debts. The case resulted in a default judgment against Lindell and MyPillow, with the court ordering them to pay over $8.8 million in compensatory damages. FedEx is now seeking to collect on that judgment, filing court documents in New York state court in October 2026 to try to force Lindell to pay the $2.67 million he was personally ordered to pay. FedEx alleges that Lindell made false promises about paying the debt in order to keep shipments moving on credit, even as the delivery service was preparing to revoke MyPillow's credit privileges.

  • In March 2025, FedEx filed the federal lawsuit against MyPillow and Lindell in Tennessee.
