Amid troubles for Huawei, the Chinese telecom giant is involved in another sort of unusual situation. It’s reviewing its relationship with U.S. courier FedEx, alleging the delivery company diverted two of its parcels destined for locations in Asia to the U.S. without detailed explanation. The company also claims FedEx attempted to reroute two other of its parcels.
In a statement to Reuters, Huawei claimed FedEx diverted two packages shipped from Japan and addressed to a Huawei location in China to the U.S. and made an attempt to divert parcels sent from Vietnam to Huawei locations elsewhere in Asia. The company provided images of FedEx tracking records — of which Reuters says the authenticity can’t be verified — to back up its claim.

FedEx declined to many any comment to Reuters when shown the tracking records, stating company policy barred it from disclosing customer information. Huawei claimed the four packages comprised of only documents and “no technology and also declined to give more information on why it thought the packages were diverted.
“The recent experiences where important commercial documents sent via FedEx were not delivered to their destination, and instead were either diverted to, or were requested to be diverted to, FedEx in the United States, undermines our confidence,” a spokesman for Huawei told Reuters. “We will now have to review our logistics and document delivery support requirements as a direct result of these incidents,” the spokesman said.
