DHL sues MyPillow, claiming the company founded by Mike Lindell owes nearly $800,000 in unpaid bills

MINNEAPOLIS — Package delivery company DHL has filed a lawsuit against MyPillow, which is linked to its founder, chief campaigner and election denier Mike Lindell, alleging it owes nearly $800,000 in unpaid bills.

The lawsuit is the latest legal battle between MyPillow and Lindell, a prominent Donald Trump supporter who helped amplify the former president’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

In the lawsuit filed Monday in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis, DHL’s eCommerce division alleges that MyPillow is violating a contract that requires the Minnesota-based company to pay for all package delivery services within 15 days of invoice. The lawsuit says they reached a settlement in May 2023 that requires MyPillow to pay $775,000 in 24 monthly installments starting in April of this year.

However, the lawsuit alleges that MyPillow only made partial payments on that settlement totaling $64,583.34, with the last payment received on June 6. DHL says it notified MyPillow of the default on July 2.

The lawsuit seeks an amount of $799,925.59 plus interest and attorneys’ fees.

Lindell told the Associated Press on Thursday that he did not know what the lawsuit was about, but his company decided to stop working with DHL more than a year ago because of a shipment dispute that he said was DHL’s fault.

Lawsuits and billing disputes are nothing new for the “MyPillow Guy.” Two voting machine manufacturers are suing him for defamation. The lawyers who originally defended him in those cases quit their jobs because of unpaid bills.

A credit crunch last year caused cash flow disruptions at MyPillow after the company lost Fox News as one of its key advertising platforms and was also dropped by several national retailers.

In February, a judge upheld a $5 million arbitration award in favor of a software developer who had challenged data that Lindell said proved China interfered in the 2020 election.
