DHL sues MyPillow man Mike Lindell's company over unpaid bills

Global logistics company DHL is reportedly taking legal action against MyPillow for nearly $800,000 in unpaid bills.

What happened: The lawsuit, filed in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis, alleges that MyPillow breached a contract that requires payment for all package delivery services within 15 days of billing. According to court documents, a settlement was agreed in May 2023 that requires MyPillow to pay $775,000 in 24 monthly installments starting in April 2024, AP News reported.

DHL claims that MyPillow only partially met its payment obligations, contributing $64,583.34, with the last payment being received on June 6. DHL notified MyPillow of the default on July 2. The lawsuit seeks $799,925.59, plus interest and attorneys' fees.

Michael Lindellthe founder of MyPillow, told AP News he did not know all the details of the lawsuit, but pointed out that his company stopped working with DHL more than a year ago because of a dispute over deliveries for which he blamed DHL.

This lawsuit joins a series of legal problems for Lindell and MyPillow, which are currently facing defamation lawsuits from two voting machine manufacturers.
