    I paid for 2 day ground service for my birthday gifts to arrive three days before the birthday. I followed up to track shipping and learned that the delivery would be received on the day after the birthday. The site indicates that FedEx added a new bar code label. When I called to inquire, I was advised of the label change. However, No one could explain why their unexplained label change added 4 additional days to the already 2 day delivery. The service advocate did offer a refund of my charges after I submitted a form.

    However, I was advised that my needs were not a priority and they would not locate the package and simply overnight the delivery or even deliver in 2 additional days. Ironically, my daughter paid for an overnight FedEx delivery this week that arrived a few days late. She was told that her delay did not warrant a refund. In the past few months, 2 of my packages were misdelivered to my neighbors' home and left when they weren't home. I will never use this company.

    Sent package through FedEx in Marina del Rey California 10 days ago. Employee messed up with my shipment and package was stopped on custom in Thailand just because the employee in the office filled the form wrong:( charged me 107$ for express. And now have been calling every single day explaining my situation and no result. Just saying that I'm responsible for everything. No help at all. Horrible unacceptable service. Now they say if I want my package back I have to pay even more than I paid. When I'm saying it's not my mistake they are saying: "There is nothing we can do about it." Never ever will use FedEx again. I'm assuming have to give up and forget about my package and money. Even though on their website there is section "Money back guarantee" if package is not delivered on time they will pay you money back. It is a big BIG LIE...

    I sent a small parcel to Germany. The clerk checked off an incorrect box on the shipping label and my son had to pay extra $67.00 Canadian to receive his gift. Customs had added additional charges to the shipping. I had already paid almost $50.00 to send the small package that was worth less than $50. I put in a complaint. My son put in a complaint. We never received a resolve to this issue that occurred last year. We never received a refund. If the accepting clerk in Medicine Hat had correctly processed the paperwork, the additional charge at German customs would not have been applied. I will never send another item by FedEx to Germany.

    I ordered a package from a company that I've used before when I lived at a previous address. I made the mistake of pressing submit as it loaded my previous mailing address information into the shipping address area on the screen. I didn't realize it until a couple of days later and immediately contacted the company who said my package had already been shipped and to contact FedEx. I did exactly that and even signed up for their Delivery Manager tool which allows you to intercept packages and have them delivered to a different location. This cost me $5 which I was hesitant to pay but I of course wanted my shipment and needed it in a timely manner. To my dismay (putting it mildly), FedEx went ahead and DELIVERED it to the wrong address anyway and is now telling me there is nothing that they can do about it.

    My package was supposed to be shipped by USPS but FedEx told my pharmacy they could get it there quicker. I was told delivery would be made on 8/31 by 8:00 p.m. I stayed here all day and no delivery attempt was made. I called and they told me delivery would be made on 9/1 by 8:00 p.m. Waited all day and no delivery attempt! Of course by then it was Saturday, called again and they told me it would not be delivered until the next Tuesday because Monday was a holiday and their facility was under water in Houston. Why was the package picked up and taken to the facility in the first place, knowing they would not be able to deliver it down south?

    Meanwhile I am watching mail trucks out on Saturday, Sunday and yes, Monday trying to catch up! Kudos to USPS! OK, so I waited til Tuesday and got a notice that package was at a local facility about 3 miles away. Called again on Tuesday and they gave me a case number. I got a call telling me they would give my package high priority. Got a text message that package would be delivered Tuesday by 8:00 p.m. Waited all day Tuesday and again no delivery!

    It is now going on 7 days and I called again. They told me attempt was made. I, of course refuted the driver's account telling them I was home all day! By this time my patience is waning and I told them if the driver could get out of the facility here locally, then they could make delivery here, if not then I could come to the facility to pick up package. Service Rep was very caring and sent message to driver to CALL me if he cannot find residence, which is what should have happened after every SO CALLED delivery attempt. We shall see if it comes today...

    We had a shipment of wine sent to our house... We were not at home to sign for it so it was sent to our local FedEx store... When I went to pick it up, they told me it was not there yet but would be the next day. My delivery person assured me that it would be at the store.

    I have sent items back via FedEx and they do deliver on the date that they say. However I do have concerns. Several packages that I have received were damaged. Also they just throw them over the fence never letting anyone know it was being delivered and not checking to see if anyone was home when they left it.

    My review echoes others. I ordered a new phone from Verizon. FedEx attempted to deliver a week ago but I'm not home during the day and they required a signature. The door tag said to sign it, leave it on the door and they would deliver again. It's a week later and no phone. I got an email three days ago saying it would be delivered yesterday, Saturday. I was home all day. Went out to dinner, came home and my package was not delivered. Had another email saying it had been delivered at 3:17 and left at my front door. It wasn't. The FedEx website also said it had been delivered. Called FedEx and an extremely rude employee told me it had not been delivered and they would put a trace on it.

    I said I was concerned that someone had stolen it and I asked why they sent me an email saying they did and became very rude. She said I just didn't like the answer she gave me. Then I called Verizon and she said she'd have to get FedEx on the phone, that once my iPhone left Verizon, they couldn't do anything. A FedEx rep got on the phone and said my package wouldn't be delivered until Tues. and that it required a signature (direct opposite of the instructions on the door tag). I said I was concerned that the package had been stolen as I had an email saying it was left at my front door. He started yelling at me so I hung up on him. I will never, ever deal with FedEx again. I've never been treated like that by a customer service dept. Shame on them.

    Your delivery driver in my area is the worst, and this reflects very negatively on your service. Some items that are being shipped by your drivers are very valuable and should not be taken lightly. This Driver has my item that is over $400 and does not even get out of his truck to attempt to deliver, and then says he left a door tag, but I've been sitting next to my door all day in anticipation of this item. This delivery was never attempted and if it has happened to me I'm pretty sure it has happened to several people. I will be going on every blog site I can think of and tell them how horrible my service is with FedEx and telling them to deter from using FedEx at all cost, don't worry I'll tag you guys in it, signed a very disgruntled customer!

    I have lately had a problem with my packages either blatantly not being attempted to be delivered or my delivery instructions being ignored. I clearly have a note for my address online saying to leave my packages at the door in my apartment complex but drivers constantly override it themselves and decide to take the packages with them which is incredibly inconvenient. Of course, I had paid for two day delivery recently and my package was supposed to arrive yesterday. I was waiting all day, and finally at 8 pm, FedEx updated the status so that my delivery would arrive today.

    So I get home today to find delivery was "attempted" aka my instructions were ignored. I had to call and explain this is a recurring issue and now will be waiting hours and hours not knowing when it'll get here because the driver said he'd return today (and hopefully not ignore my request) because this is recurring. Online tracking did not update and is still saying to expect it tomorrow which considering I work 10 am - 6 pm, is kind of a joke.

    Recently I had placed an order with a company who ships exclusively through FedEx. I had just moved to a new home and made sure the new address and delivery instructions were clear. On the day that my package was supposedly "received" I never got it. I was home at the time FedEx stated the package was delivered and there was no doorbell, no knocking and no one entering the property to leave the package on the front porch, as it was stated (my dog barks when someone comes through the gate).

    I called FedEx the same day and had to go through 3 different back and forth calls with three different agents to get an investigation launched. This investigation then took 5 days, just for them to say that the package was delivered to the front porch. We had checked with all of the neighbors the same day as well and they had not received any packages from FedEx. FedEx could provide no proof of delivery such as a photo of the package on the doorstep (like Amazon does) or anything other than the word of the driver that it was delivered.

    Overall, the issue was NOT resolved and FedEx came back saying there was nothing they could do about the issue. No replacement, I didn't have the option ever to speak with the driver and find out more information about where they may of left it, etc. Luckily the company I ordered from was extremely accommodating and resent the order, making up for FedEx's mistake and poor, slow customer service. If I ever have a choice, I WILL NOT use FedEx to get anything anywhere.

    Extremely displeased with FedEx. They 'allegedly' delivered a parcel via ground to a third party (not the recipient). The parcel was never delivered to the recipient and is missing. A claim was filed. I had to chase them for resolution and found their conduct to be dismissive. The declared value on the form was stated to be $200 but they said they would only pay $100, as that was all they were liable for and they wouldn't charge for the delivery (big of them!)

    Because a lazy driver refused to make his Saturday deliveries due to "congestion and flooding". I will be without medication while a hurricane is en route. Today is a slightly cloudy with some wind but certainly not worse than any sort of average cloudy day. We had some rain last night but it was just a typical night where it just so happens to rain. There is zero flooding in Houston right now. On top of that no one is really evacuating because the hurricane isn't actually threatening us with anything worse than flooding over a four day period starting TOMORROW.

    That said I won't be able to so much as walk while the actual severe weather happen. They said I'll get on Monday which is bull because if it does flood I'm screwed till after Wednesday. In the meantime I'm going to be suffering from cataplectic attacks (seizure like episodes) where I lose control of every muscle in my body and hit the floor. The perfect situation you want your body to be in before severe weather. I would be sympathetic if weather was bad today. Maybe if it was even raining really hard I'd give him a break.

    MY FIRST COMPLAINT EVER. I have been waiting on a package for over 2 weeks now. I've been calling for the past 4 days to FedEx trying to find what’s been going on and where are my packages. Well I was told that they were a little behind and I would receive them the next business day. 3 days came and went this is what they told me every day. So yesterday I call and now they say they can deliver it to local FedEx the next day so I go to the location which is 20 miles out of my way to see if packages are there. Guess what? They were never deliver. Then I call Fedex again. Now they tell me it will be there the next day and guess what? I am still waiting on my packages.

    I can't believe that a corporation like FedEx have people that cannot get a simple delivery right. I am the type of person that never complain. This is my first complaint I have ever submitted in my life. I am so disappointed in the way FedEx employees are handling this situation that is still going on. Pittston PA office needs to be more organized and trained how to talk to people. If I had the choice of giving 5 negative stars they would be the first in line. I will never use FedEx to ship anything and I hope companies start to switch their shipping to other companies that do their job efficiently.

    So I ordered a package online and then ordered a second package from them two weeks later. I had no problem with my first shipment. It was sent USPS, the second shipment was FedEx International. So from what I am understand you are unable to ship postal with FedEx international. The carrier who did my delivery called my local post office for my residential address which was incorrect and delivered my package there. I'm irritated because I order this package a month ago.

    I called FedEx customer service last week and the seller and I feel like I am getting the runaround. The address they sent the package to I had a change of address on Sinai. Don't understand why the post office gave them that address and I am more upset that I didn't get the option to pick my package up from a FedEx center instead of just taking it to an address that I haven't even affiliated with in three years.

    My experience with FedEx is limited. However, after the past few days I am so underwhelmed by the service that I will personally never use these services again. Package promised on Wednesday. Truck runs late and misses pickup window. Promised for Thursday and the driver never even comes to the door but claims they attempted delivery at 1:56 pm. I was sitting on the couch by the door. No one came. Construction is happening outside the cul-de-sac paving the roads, BUT you can still drive through.

    On to Friday, I'm thinking surely after I put in a request for delivery to the FedEx down the street they will delivery when promised. NO!! In fact my package sat in the same facility all day. After I have called numerous times I get a Customer Care Specialist who proceeds to tell me it will arrive on Saturday. I ask for a time window. WHAT KIND OF DELIVERY COMPANY CANNOT OFFER A TIME WINDOW!!! I tell him this is unacceptable, because now I'm grounded to my area after having made plans to go out of town for the day tomorrow. The Specialist tells me to just pick it up on Sunday. I wanted my package on Wednesday when it was first promised! You guys have to be kidding. Every day I called and had to repeat the same thing over and over again. Do you all not write notes into your system concerning your customers? USPS will continue to have my business as they know how to deliver on time!

    We specifically requested a shipment on Friday morning so we could be ready for our patient 1st thing Monday. The office is not open on Fridays, but I am always here at the front desk doing paperwork. I have a view of the parking lot, and came in early to receive this delivery, and I even put a note on the door that I was here and to knock for deliveries in case I went into another room. When noon rolled around and no FedEx delivery had come, I called the company who was shipping the part and they called FedEx and this is what we were told: "The driver knows that you are not open on Fridays, so he didn't attempt delivery." I am so glad that the driver knows my schedule. He should have at least placed a sticker on the door that they tried to deliver-then I would have seen him and he would have seen me (I sit by the front door) or at least the note, and the package would have been delivered.

    Instead of fixing this problem, FedEx says they can deliver to us on Monday at 10:30. Our patient is scheduled at 8:00-so that is not a good solution. The company sent another part out with UPS as the delivery company. They will have it here by 8 on Monday. Now I know who to always use for shipping and who to tell my friends, co-workers and associates not to use.

    For a few days, FedEx claims it has attempted to deliver my package to me. According to "their" automated phone line, they indicated an attempt was there but resident never answered. Well, maybe a KNOCK on the door instead of quietly placing sticky notes and leaving would totally change the entire conversation! I think it's bad business to LIE and say an attempt was made when technically it wasn't. I feel as a customer, I shouldn't have to take time out of my schedule go take a ride to a faculty and pick up a package, that they WERE or IS still getting paid to deliver. If help carrying it from the truck to the residence is what was needed, then ask for help! Are we to sit outside all day and wait for delivery to avoid their "ninja" abilities from prevailing in the future?

    Customer satisfaction should be what any company thrives for. But your reputation is starting to be tarnished. Do the right thing... Deliver customer packages to those that are doing their part by being there waiting. Knock/ring the door bell and ask for help if you need it! Just don't lie and say an attempt was made when it wasn't a true attempt!

    This has got to be the worst experience I've ever had with a shipment company. I was told my shipment was going to come in 3 to 6 days of ordering but now it's been at least two weeks and I still have not received my package. I don't know if it's laziness, lack of experience or what but if something's not fixed not only will they lose money but companies that use them will too.

    This package was for a re-released model of a professional USBC bowling bowl that was a gift for someone. The delivery date was for Thursday Aug 17 because the party was from 8 to 9 AM Friday morning at my place of employment. My package was not placed on the vehicle for delivery to my location at Nashville plant. Was only told it would be placed on truck and delivered following day. That would be too late to present it at the party for the person it was intended for. No effort to make things right by customer service and no genuine concern from customer service at all.

    FedEx has repeatedly made errors on deliveries to my home and not bothered to compensate or go the extra mile to make things right. Your company expects us as customers to be okay with that. We rely on you to honor your commitment but it seems that means nothing to you. I will choose UPS as my preferred delivery service from now on as this company is unreliable more than it is reliable.

    We are shipping a sample International Priority to Japan and so of course paid for this service! We have already shipped to this destination before so we know the address is good. The package promptly arrived in Japan 2 days later and was then released by customs. So you would expect delivery the next day? Then there is a gap of 4 days in the tracking system with NO entry. NOW... 10 days later there has been NO delivery. My call yesterday, I spoke to a manager who assured me they would put a trace on it. Of course NO one calls back today and no update on the tracking at all.

    INCOMPETENT! DISHONEST. Any other good adjectives for this totally screwed-up company. I can tell you there are no federal holiday or typhoons in Japan now that could account for such a mess. Use DHL next time or any alternative. I have previously had a similar experience and FEDEX refuses to take responsibility and refund the costs.

    I bought a car battery online and FedEx was used by the seller to ship the package. The seller put it on the original box of XP Power, as the battery was XP Power XP3000, and ship it to my address. After calling couple times, I was able to hold the package at the store for pick up. I go to pick up the package, and they give me a completely ripped off box, the battery was damaged, the box was ripped off, and the lady at the store was like, "Here you go. You can take now your ripped off box!" I contacted the customer service, opened the claim, and I did submit the claim through their website and email form.

    They came and picked up the package, and after a week I called again to check what was going on with my claim, and they told me "We have not received your claim." The girl I was talking to the phone, just hang up on me. The seller told me that they shipped the battery with the original box. And FedEx has repackaged the battery with another box. The battery was damaged in the corners, apparently, the FedEx guys couldn't handle it and they dropped it off into the ground couple times. And they just put it into another box, after they ripped off the original box, and they dropped it again, because even the box they put the battery in, was completely ripped off. I am really frustrated from the way that FedEx handles this situation, treats people, and ship packages. The item was bought on Amazon.

    I am the president of a nonprofit organization in Orlando, Florida. I'm also a former investigative reporter in the CBS Television Network System. This morning, at 10:35 AM, two members of our logistics team heard the sound of a crash on the street in front of our office building. When they look out the window, they saw it was the FedEx driver physically throwing packages off the truck under the sidewalk. The sound of the packages crashing on the sidewalk was so loud, they herded inside the brick office building, over the sounds of passing traffic, the air conditioner, and music playing in their office! They ran outside and asked the FedEx driver to stop throwing the packages, as they were clearly marked fragile in 8 inch high letters. He simply laughed at them and drove off. The state of Florida license number of the FedEx truck was Y73-CDW. We actually have pictures of him throwing the boxes off the truck.

    I immediately called the FedEx number. I had to press nine separate numbers to finally be connected to a human being rather than a machine. The gentleman I spoke to, who gave his name as Marvin but would provide no other identification whatsoever, barely spoke understandable English. After we provided him with all the information including the tracking numbers for the four packages, he continued to not understand what we were calling about after we had clearly explained the problem to him multiple times. As Marvin was obviously a combination of incompetent and unwilling to provide us with any assistance, we asked to be transferred to the manager of a local FedEx delivery office. Marvin told me he would put me on hold for just a moment. 5 min. later he came back on the line and explained that he was not able to connect me with anyone local as they did not answer the telephone!

    He then connected me with "Arlene" in their supposedly-customer service department. As with Marvin, the ability to understand Arlene in her heavily accented speech was very limited. I understand America is a very diverse country, inhabited by people of many cultures, but is it too much to ask that the people you speak to at a major company speak readily understandable English? The only real difference between Marvin and Arlene was that she was even less willing to help. The only thing she was really able to do was communicate her delighted indifference and her unwillingness to help resolve the problem. You could tell from her speech patterns that she wasn't even reading her "corporate-approved excuses", but had memorized them. Between Marvin and Arlene it was probably the most frustrating and disrespectful 10 min. I have ever had to endure in my life.

    When all I could get from her was just the standard "all we're so sorry… but in reality we could care less" answers, I then demanded a call from the local station manager prior to 2 PM Eastern Daylight Time today. I told her that if I did not receive such a call I would be in touch with the local television stations and newspaper to share our video and photographs with them. She, of course was also unwilling to give any more identification than just the name "Arlene". When I asked for employee number, she refused that as well, on the grounds that would "compromise our security." Knowing from my broadcasting experience that the purposeful idiocy as described above is often not really corporate policy, I attempted to contact FedEx headquarters in Memphis in order to speak to someone in Media Relations. The Media Relations department at large corporations can often fix corporate idiocy.

    The only telephone number I could get was a regular toll-free number. After seven "button pushes" to get to a real human being, a woman who would only identify herself as “M J” refused to give me the telephone number of FedEx corporate headquarters. Of course anything further than the initials M J were far too secret to give me! No, I'm not kidding, she actually admitted she had the phone number but refused to give it to me. People… what are you trying to hide? The bottom line is; FedEx purposely screwed up, all the contents of the boxes are damaged beyond repair, and worst of all FedEx clearly indicates they could care less about customers. If you watch television in Florida, check the six o'clock news. You never know; I may be the lead story. Television is picture driven, and trust me, the pictures are great! FedEx, I'm willing to stand behind my work and give my name and phone number. Are you?

    There are two different FedEx's under one all encompassing name and a lot of people don't realize that. There is Overnight or Air FedEx, not exactly the same (they can be), but they are at the same level and standards in a review, they are the ones that make the first delivery in the morning. Then there is the afternoon or ground delivery, they are a completely different crew. I am giving you a view from an entirely different angle than what you may think, I used to work in a State mailroom and we received and sent items through the FedEx services. I am not really sure of their pricing other than it is higher, but it is competitive because of faster times and more delivery drops.

    The Overnight FedEx delivery people, and there were women too on both shifts, were very efficient. They were company drivers and their trucks have Overnight painted on them. They delivered fast, talked little, extremely polite, and were out the door as quickly as they came in. I don't think they even stopped. We had to sign for everything that came in, but they hurried us along by kind of dancing in place. Usually overnight type deliveries were things like contracts to be signed, architects drawings, light, unbreakable items so the drivers were in and out and handled the packages with confidence. The morning drivers in all the time I worked there, even when they had large packages on occasion never damaged anything. We never had to note it on the form as we signed for it.

    The Ground FedEx delivery usually arrived while we were trying to eat lunch, so we had to stop to check in whatever he or she brought us that day, if we were lucky it was just a small thing like the morning and the driver could be in and out, but we weren't usually lucky. When I first started the Ground drivers were company drivers too. We had a regular afternoon driver who had our route and I felt sorry for whoever's packages fell into his clutches. He would announce his presence, breaking up our lunchtime, by kicking whatever package he could determine was fragile into the midst of us and yelling, "FedEx Delivery!" at the top of his lungs. If he heard a satisfying crunch or shatter of glass, then he would smile. We would duly note the damage and how the driver clumsily dropped it out of his truck.

    Occasionally, one of us would get fed up and write that he kicked it, many times sometimes, then lecture him. He would just smile and laugh, sit down with us, and join in our conversation. FedEx changed the way they ran their Ground program. The drivers were forced to buy their trucks from them, on easy terms to continue to work for them. They had to become owner operators with their own insurance. It seems there were too many damaged items in the Ground shifts, maybe because there were so many more items. Not only that, the deliveries had slowed down tremendously. FedEx decided with this change it would prove to be much more positive and lucrative for their company. And their customers would be much happier. Our driver, he didn't last too much longer after that. I think FedEx, even if they are the most expensive, are the best delivery service there is, and if given the chance I need to use one, I always pick them.

    Whenever I order packages and they arrive via FedEx it's difficult to track them. When you track your package it looks like it's just sitting there a few days even if it is moving so it can make it more difficult to know what day you need to be home. Delivery date is often different than the estimated delivery date. I don't know if it's the training but for some reason UPS drivers always seem a bit friendlier and I've lived in several different states. To put it in perspective, FedEx is only slightly better than the post office.

    I went into the store @ 1016 E Fort Union, Midvale, Ut., last week, to have blueprints scanned and, NONE of the 5-6 employees were helping customers. I am significantly and very obviously disabled. First, I had to get their attention to get help opening the door, because the doors are all manual, not disability accommodating. I stood in front of the glass doors for several minutes. Any semi - or moderately observant person would have seen me before I even approached the doors, as the handicapped parking is directly in front of the wall of windows at & close to the front of the building, and they would have seen me struggling to get my walker and transportation aid device out of the car, then seen me getting on.

    Then, most people would also have seen me approach then stand in front of the doors waiting. And, they would have come running to open the doors. Not their employees, however. The employees do at nearly every single business I patronize, EXCEPT FEDEX. After a clerk finally opened the door for me in response to my knocking on the doors to get help entering, he returned to the desk/table behind the counter, instead of offering to help me. Employees at most other businesses I frequent, typically ask if they can help me. If they are busy, they at least acknowledge my presence and say they will be with me in a moment. Not your employees. The lady who appeared to be a supervisor was talking to employees, behind the counter, rather than acknowledging me and offering assistance, she continued explaining something to 2 others, for several minutes, while other employees were doing something at the table behind the counter.

    I stood at the counter for several minutes, while being ignored. Finally, I said, "excuse me, can I get some help." The woman who appeared to be the manager, hesitated, then said, "oh yeah," and caught the attention of the young man who opened the door and directed him to help me. He took a minute to finish what he was doing, then came to the counter. I was appalled at the apparent disregard for customers, especially by the supervisor, who could not even bother to acknowledge my presence.

    I am disgusted with FedEx. I have complained before about the fact that, for years, I have let them know I am disabled and usually at home when packages arrive, and have asked them, via phone and notes on the door, to NOT just leave packages on the doorstep, but to ring the doorbell and wait 30 secs for me to answer. In the last 10 yrs, I have only had one single delivery driver bother to comply. If he is not the one delivering a package, any others who deliver, refuse to cooperate by ringing the doorbells and waiting 30 secs for me to answer the door. Moreover, I have left explicit instructions to please leave packages on the chair outside the front door, rather than on the ground, because it is extremely difficult and excruciatingly painful to try to bend over and pick up a package off the ground, as I am disabled.

    If the package is heavy, it is impossible for me to bend and lift it. Despite the multiple signs on my door, when the driver delivered a BBQ griddle last year, which was heavy, he left it on the ground, off the porch, alongside the side of the house. It was impossible for me to lift it up onto the one porch step, much less carry it in. I had to call my neighbors later, to ask them to bring it in and into the backyard. The same thing happened with the grill top that subsequently arrived. The package was left on the side of the house, near the front door, but off the porch step on the ground, making it impossible for me to even drag it indoors.

    The signs on my door specifically ask that drivers RING the doorbell AND KNOCK, and WAIT 30-60 secs for me to answer, and that deliveries NOT be placed on the ground, as I am significantly disabled. Because I am disabled, I am home 98% of the time, so I will answer the door and accept the packages. Leaving the packages, vs handing them to me, make it very difficult and burdensome, even painful for me. And yet, until this single driver started delivering to my current address, every single home in which I lived, I've had the same experience (4:2 in exclusive neighborhoods, 1 in an upper middle class neighborhood, and none were in high-risk or questionable neighborhoods that would make a driver feel less than comfortable waiting. I would call the problem sheer laziness, inconsiderateness, and lacking in regard and patience).

    The only thing I can say is that their employees are consistent, though not in any positive way. Most never even bother to ring or knock, and if one, on very rare occasions, DOES ring the doorbell or knock, they never wait. Instead, they just dump the package and run. They are ALWAYS (with the exception of the one previously mentioned driver) gone before I can open the door or at best, on rare occasions, I might see the back of the truck tearing down the street. It would not kill them to ring and knock and wait less than 1 minute. The one driver who now delivers most frequently to my house, is capable of cooperating, so I know it is possible.

    Furthermore, it is not inordinate or extraordinary a request. It is, in fact, quite reasonable to ask such a simple thing as to ring doorbells and wait seconds for me to answer. I am not asking for drivers to wait minutes and, the one driver seems to be able to cooperate, so why can't the others. And, why can't their store employees treat customers civilly and with reasonable, decent customer service? Clearly, FedEx has little, if any understanding of and concern with decent customer service, much less good customer service. It is obviously of no importance to FedEx.

    We had two packages supposedly delivered by FEDEX on the same day, neither made it. They both contained phones. One was apparently delivered at 12:48 and one was apparently delivered at 1:42. Unfortunately, this is not actually the case. We had someone home all day because we were told by Verizon that we needed to sign for one of the phones. I came home around one, there was no package. So, according to FEDEX, someone got very lucky and lifted the 12:48 delivered phone and hit the jack pot by coming back to get the 1:42 phone. Not to mention that making it up to our front porch would consist of them going by our neighbor who has a German shepherd and who works in his garage building cabinets.

    Their investigation into this incident was them calling the driver and asking him about our house with him verifying that we had a yellow jeep in front of our house and we have a two story. Investigation complete. I'd like to mention that on this same day we had three packages delivered by UPS, which surprise, were actually here and were not lifted. Terrible service, with even worse customer service. On a side note, I did file a police report, as we are missing property valued way over $1,000.

    I brought a package from South America that I needed to drop at a FedEx location in Las Vegas between flights. I had prepared the package online, researched the facility, and determined the cost (which of course ended up being more than quoted online), and printed the label. It turns out the "FedEx" location is inside a hotel, and they slap a $30 "handling fee" to turn over a package to FedEx, even though they claim to be FedEx. FedEx, needless to say, takes no responsibility for these FedEx charges, referring to the "FedEx" location as "them."

    The real issue, though, is how two separate customer "support" agents handled this. Despite my explaining in detail how I had prepared the shipment online, how there is absolutely NO mention of handling fees anywhere on the fedex.com website — which is referenced on the "handling fee" receipt -- both insisted that I had advance notice of the fee because there was a sign on the wall when I walked in from the waiting taxi. They were both defiant and defensive, and I ended up hanging up on both. I got the ID of one and realized that these are not FedEx employees, but third-party call center operatives.

    I've had a FedEx account for at least 25 years, and have always had some respect for the company. But here they have a receipt from FedEx Office, referencing their website, and they insist it has nothing to do with FedEx per se, because FedEx in Las Vegas is "them," not "us." To add further FedEx incompetence, the receipt for the "handling fee" references a feedback web page that does not exist, and an 800# that will allow you to comment only if you have a number from a survey invitation. So instead, FedEx, I give you feedback here, along with all the other disgusted FedEx victims.

    This is the 3rd time in one month that FedEx claims I refused shipment on their tracking site, which is untrue. Instead, their packages are always delayed, late, misdirected, and rather than own up to it, they blame the customer. I receive packages 3 to 4 times a week and never have problems with UPS, USPS, DHL, Amazon (AMZL). Yesterday, FedEx tracking site was down nationwide and I can understand they were having a delay in delivery; however, once again, the tracker claimed I refused shipment. It's rescheduled to be delivered today, but it was supposed to be delivered Saturday, then rescheduled for Monday, and now rescheduled for Tuesday, with the false claim that I refused shipment.

    This has happened with the last 3 FedEx shipments and once they even shipped the package back to the seller, claiming I refused it even though I took a day off from work to sign for the package and was waiting patiently at home for it. The seller then tried to charge me a 20% return fee, using the FedEx claim that I refused shipment.

    I work for a large organization that uses FedEx exclusively for all their shipping needs. However, I have been sorely disappointed by FedEx twice now. FedEx claims they have already investigated and found my claim to be invalid. So I just want to put in my two cents. While shipping our materials and giveaways to a conference in Kansas City, MO, we realize upon receiving the package that 98% of our contents were missing. This has happened twice already.

    When I tracked my package via their website, it showed that the weight of the box had changed at one point during transport. If things weren't taken out, why would the weight change? Also, I was told by FedEx customer service that my box was repackaged as well. Why would FedEx repackage my box? Is it normal practice for FedEx to repackage their customer's packets without notifying the customer? Needless to say, we did not have any brochures, pamphlets, pens, table covers or anything for our conference.

    I had also spoken to the hotel manager who accepted the boxes and he claims he did not open the boxes when he received them. If FedEx had not repackage my box and the weight did not change from start to end, I would have investigated it more with the hotel but this leads me to believe that someone working for FedEx took our stuff out and repackaged it. However, FedEx would not take responsibility for what their employees did. I will just assume that whoever took our stuff really needed it and will considered it a service on our end to the needy. I will put in a request for our company to change carriers as I cannot have to happen every time I ship something out.

I was told the package would be delivered on Friday. So, I waited all day. I even put a note on my exterior door asking the FedEx driver to ring the doorbell. The door was unlocked and the lights were on.

    At approximately 4:35, I checked the tracking info for the package. The driver stated that nobody was here to take delivery! I had been here since 11:30 AM and hadn't left at all. I did, however, use the restroom for a few minutes. The driver did not ring the bell. I doubt he ever exited his truck to even attempt to deliver the package. If he had, he would have seen the note asking that he ring the bell. I immediately called customer service back. I told them that their driver was lying. There was also not a missed attempt tag left on Friday. Basically, customer service told me it sucks to be me and I'll have to waste another day waiting for him. I told them that since their driver caused all this inconvenience he should be told to turn around and deliver the package. Wouldn't you know, they wasted enough of my time to make this impossible.

    Today, Monday August 7, 2017, I had a series of medical tests and appointments to attend to, I told customer service this and was assured that something would be worked out so that I didn't have to miss my very necessary medical appointments to wait for a package. This did not happen. I was told this morning that if I wanted the package today, I would just have to wait for the driver and miss my appointments.

    FedEx doesn't care about holding their drivers accountable for their laziness or lying. They seem to be following a business model of "let's see how much the recipient will tolerate before losing their cool." So, I missed necessary medical appointments to wait for this package to arrive because far be it for FedEx to have the integrity to make the situation right. My issues are at the bottom of their list. Their drivers are never to be inconvenienced or held accountable for their lack of job performance. They offered no solution except for "be there and get the package we lied about on Friday, or waste another day waiting for it tomorrow."

    That's not a solution, that's just business as usual. FedEx will not be getting any of our business. Not as a shipper and not as a recipient. We are done with FedEx. Nobody on this planet should have to skip necessary medical treatment because a driver is lazy. I've reached out to them numerous times via different avenues and no resolution was offered. Terrible business practices.

    I was behind a FedEx delivery truck that was trying to make a left turn from the right lane. Other cars passed the truck on the left - in the proper lane to make left hand turns while the drive blocked the entire right lane. I flashed my lights to the driver who became enraged and put the truck in reverse and tried to back into me. I was able to get out of the way as the driver threw it in drive and sped off through the intersection. I was able to get a picture of the truck and filed a complaint with the local FedEx Station. The Station Manager blew this off and completely swept it under the rug and advised me that the driver was going to continue to be allowed to drive. If you are in the Charlotte, NC area and see a female FedEx driver, get out of her way as she is a horrible driver who will road rage and claim she didn't do anything wrong.

    I ordered 3 bags of specialty dog food from PetSmart. I expected it to arrive in 2 days as Petsmart boasted, but after tracking my pkgs, I expected the pkgs on Friday 8/4 from FedEx. I had enough dog food at home to last for my dogs through Thursday evening (When I have ordered from Jet.com it is here in 2 days). My husband was working in our garage 25 feet from our latched, but not locked, gate, with the garage door open. We wanted to watch for Fed Ex, as the pkgs were needed so my dogs could eat - our large dog is allergic to most everything.

    Shortly after 11am, my husband looks at the gate and saw a tag. The tag was from the FedEx driver. If the driver would have made his presence known, by merely talking aloud, my husband would have greeted him, as he was within 25 feet and could be seen, from our gate. The DT tag had merely the date and no. of pkgs written only. No other boxes checked on the slip, reason why he didn't leave the pkgs or information on how to now get my pkgs. I called customer service of FedEx and they would not give me any clear information on how to get my packages or why the driver made NO attempt to leave my pkgs. I was told that they would call the driver's manager, and give him a message, and that the driver COULD come by again, or choose NOT to, the driver came from the Tacoma service center, but is allowed to take their truck with people's undelivered belongings to their personal residence.

    I was not allowed to call or be given the driver's manager's number. The computer just gave a delivery date of the next day. There was NO special instructions that a person even had to be home, though my husband was within talking distance but with back turned. There was no signature required. There was no c.o.d. due. The customer service was beyond horrible. I waited at the end of my driveway until 7pm in over 90 degree weather, hoping that the driver would CHOOSE to return. He did not. I called FedEx several times with the same runaround. I got so angry, I was to the point of tears and begging for help on my 5th call, as I was told there was no way for me to get my pkgs Friday so my dogs could eat.

    The manager finally called my husband, as my husband's phone number was on the pkgs. that the driver refused to deliver. The manager gave my husband the driver's number to get an address to pick up the pkgs himself. The driver ended up living about 2 miles from our home. My husband drove to his residence and got our dogs food. The driver lived so close that he could have come here on his way home, but "chose not to". When the driver was asked why he did not deliver the packages, he had no real answer, but did mention he saw the tv on in our garage. The lack of concern, customer service AND communication is beyond horrendous. I have never been treated so poorly by a business in my life! I will avoid any company that used FedEx as their form of delivery from now on.

    I have had issues with the driver leaving packages on my front door step - if the driver would push the pkg in one foot more the pkg would be under the porch. That would prevent the pkg from getting wet due to rain or snow. This has happened several times over the last few years and the pkg gets soaked. I have called FedEx and complained about this to no change in behavior. If the driver would at least ring the bell so I know to look out the door I would see the pkg and bring it in.

    I am a small business owner for 24 years. FedEx is the worst shipping company. I was expecting an order that was never delivered to me. I tracked my package and it was just left 15 minutes ago somewhere other than my address. When I called their customer service they asked to start knocking on stranger's doors asking if a package was left. They opened a case for my missing package and promised to call me back. They did not. When I called back they informed me that they could not do anything about it because records showed that the package was delivered (not to me of course).

    I found out that is a street near that has a similar name and the same number of my office building. I asked them to go there to retrieve my package and they told me that it was my responsibility to go knock on people's door to claim my package. One week after, I had the same problem with two more packages to be delivered on different dates. And again, they did not do anything about it. Their disregard for customers is unbelievable.

    Misleading and deceptive conduct. Fedex is slow, very slow. It extracts taxes for Australia, promises to send the item, and after it has my money, being thousands of dollars, declares that there is another issue by email. One can't reply to the email. It states the item is a prohibited import, after illegally taking my money to import the item. The item, is not, according to the Australian border list of Prohibited items, prohibited. Absolutely the most useless organisation of the so called larger professional ones in the developed world, incompetent and partly corrupt. It wasn't my choice to use Fedex, it was the shipper, I've had too many issues with Fedex in the past. For anyone importing from Europe to Australia, use PostNL or similar. This website should have a ZERO rating for Fedex, one star is too much.

    Every package that has been delivered causes major anxiety that it will not get to me. FedEx Drivers usually leave packages anywhere with whomever even though a signature is required is selected. Even when I've called a few minutes since their website states that the item has been "delivered" they are not able to contact the driver. One usually gets a 48 hour claims ticket to see what the resolution was. It is ridiculous that items get lost because of how inept and careless their system is.

    I like buying from small businesses but unfortunately, I stay away from businesses that use FedEx as a courier. My item was just left one hour ago somewhere other than the labeled address, even though I was the only one in my office. When the Suite # is clearly stated in the address. They leave it to the consumer to start knocking on stranger's doors asking if a package was left. Their customer service response is basically, it takes 48 hrs to contact the driver. In 48 hrs there is nothing that could be constructively done to obtain the items that were delivered.

    One job! Two page Important document to be moved from the UK to Turkey. How difficult can this be? Clearly for the dedicated transportation company, FedEx, the answer is impossible. FedEx picked up the package from UK Consulate on Monday 24/07. Delivery guaranteed for Friday 28/07, although expected that delivery would occur much quicker, as premium international priority service chosen. The package didn't arrive as expected and for some reason was held in the FedEx facility in Paris (France). My emails to query what was causing the delivery delay went unanswered.

    On Saturday 29/07, my package left France and arrived in Turkey at the FedEx Istanbul facility. Delivery status was updated and delivery was now expected on Monday 31/07. Not a total disaster, as the purchaser agreed to delay the transaction for a few days. As you guessed, the package was not delivered and the delivery status was changed by FedEx to indicate no delivery date.

    Emails to identify the problem were sent to both the UK and Turkish FedEx customer service department, which went unanswered. I spoke to Customer Services (which appeared to be a call centre outside the UK), and they were very unhelpful. The representative was polite, but provided no insight into the problem. My contacts in Turkey also attempted to move delivery forward, but were also unsuccessful. If my documents do not arrive in Fethiye tomorrow, my hard negotiated property sale will fall through and I will have significant associated costs. FedEx clearly do not care.

    My advice to anyone thinking of using FedEx, is simply "think again." I am sure that on occasions they keep their delivery promises, but based on my experience, when anything goes wrong, they simply don't want to know. Customer service is frankly appalling, either due to them having poor processes, or more than likely because they are inundated with queries from unhappy customers.
