    My wife gives me a hard time because I usually order or buy my daughter's birthday gift the last minute. So this year I made sure I ordered it at least 20 days before. Well the package was ordered February 17th, and shipped on the 18th from Arizona to Connecticut. Estimated time of delivery was 2-8 days maximum. Well it will be 20 days in a few hours and the package is sitting in Massachusetts after it spent 5 days in Arizona. Is Arizona that big? It only took the Pony Express 10 days to cross half the country (over 1900 miles). It will not be delivered until the day after my daughter's birthday, so they tell me. Now I will have to take the morning off from work to go buy her another gift. The package was better off on the airplane with Tom Hanks. Thanks FedEx. USPS or UPS or Pony next time.

    Several companies that my husband and I have ordered from in the past have insisted on using Fedex as their shipper. It is very unfortunate, but both my husband and I have not received packages which the driver marked as "delivered" and upon calling Fedex's customer service, there is nothing they can do for us because the driver marked the package delivered, when in fact, the package was never delivered. It makes me curious about what happens to all the merchandise that gets "delivered" because the actual recipient of said merchandise never actually receives it!

    This was the worst service I EVER experienced in my life... The driver was supposed to contact me when he was outside instead he put a note on the mailbox and drove off. I watch this man from the balcony of my apartment. He was supposed to deliver the package Monday 28, 2016. He never showed up, so I had to wait until today Tuesday 29, 2016. He put the note tag on the door and drove off. Not one time did he ring the door bell or call me like the operator said he would. This is my cellphone and I been without and they didn't make better or try to help me. I talked to the senior manager and he acted I was lying on his driver about not ringing the door bell. This was TERRIBLE and this my last time dealing with FedEx. Now I have to go out my way and spend unnecessary money to pick up my phone because I don't drive. I can't stress enough how bad this experience was. I just can't believe this.

    Often times I order from some of my favorite retailers online for convenience. It seems that more recently, my packages are coming from the manufacturing company and are being tampered with at the shipping facilities. It's very scary and frustrating to know that my personal items that I spend my hard earned money on are being opened and tampered with and sometimes even, items being removed from the packages after they've left the manufacturer's warehouse. I ordered a product online from a retailer I often shop with. Upon receiving my package and opening it, I noticed that it was tampered with. Looking further into my package, I realized 1 of my items were missing from the box. It seems like these package sorters are opening the packages as they are sealed, removing items, and resealing the packages as they are when they are shipped from the manufacture.

    This is not the first time this has happened and it's so frustrating and makes me not want to utilize online shopping. Something really needs to change about this and there needs to be some kind of resolve. Why do we, the consumer, find peace of mind when there are acts of thievery taking place through major shipping companies like this one?

    I had a problem with a neighbor receiving my packages. I complained to corporate because they don't give out the number to the local station. I mentioned how my neighbor got my package a couple of times and they didn't want to feel responsible for the packages being left at their door step. Since then I started getting notices on my door requiring signatures. I called Corporate, and they told me that no signatures were required by the sender. That anything being asked was from the local station.

    I happen to be home when the driver came by and asked him if I now needed to sign for all my packages and he said, "Yes, since you made a complaint to our corporate office, we're are now requiring signatures at your home for all packages." I thought about that for a moment and he then said with a stern and demeaning tone "Because I know that I delivered those packages to your doorstep!" So it seemed that he was insulted by what transpired and apparently I was a liar. Since then I have missed package delivery after package delivery. I had to go down to FedEx and retrieve my packages because even the notices they left on my door had the signature tab torn off so I could not sign so they could leave the package.

    I was getting another package and this time I had a friend stay over since I knew I wasn't going to be around. He saw a FedEx truck in the area but no attempt was made. He spent 5 hours waiting for a delivery. When I got home I checked online and called. The message stated that an attempt was made today but no one was home to sign.

    I made another complaint about this and I was mad. I was told they couldn't do anything because the drivers were Contractors. I was just wondering if they have the FedEx name on the side of the vehicle why couldn't they do anything? If they weren't responsible then who was. I told her that I did not want to deal with this driver because the way he spoke to me. She said she would talk to the driver and give him a chance to correct the problem.

    I had another package arrive and the same thing happened again. I missed the delivery and a notice was posted to my door. I have a locking delivery drop box for which I knew one of my packages would fit and they still did not drop off my packages. I called and asked if the packages needed a signature. Corporate told me no. I said I wanted to speak to a supervisor at the local site and they patched me in to this man named Don. He started telling me that I had to sign for it since it was an apartment complex. I told him, ”No it wasn't, it was a duplex and it was just like dropping it off at a house.”

    He started telling me that it was policy and I told him that that was not the case before. Not until I made the complaint. He said he didn't understand how. I told I called BS on that and I didn't appreciate being lied to. He began to tell me that a signature was required and I got HOT! I started telling him about all the calls that I made and how I feel he is lying to me and he screamed at me telling me, "You HAVE to sign for the package or you just WON'T GET IT!“, and he hung up on me.

    I called several times to complain and I kept getting told that the Top supervising manager would get in touch with me today. I have not heard from him yet. I have spoken to two managers at the local site and no resolution. I still have no packages. I refuse to be bullied into signing for my own property and being present for a delivery, when there is no such requirement.

    I told the corporate complaint department that I am refusing to bow because these idiots at the local office have made it personal. Now I have made it personal too. I have at least four days off a week with not much to do. I told them I will finance deliveries of packages that no one will ever sign for. I will finance my friends ordering things online and not accepting delivery. I told them I will make them come to my house as many times as I possibly to make them waste their time and money. I will complain on sites like this on a regular basis as long as I have energy, time and money because I have all three. I have notified all my suppliers not to do business with FedEx when sending me packages and I will recommend all my friends and business partners to do the same. Since they made this into a personal battle now so have I. All of this over someone’s pride and an unnecessary signature.

    I invite anyone from corporate to challenge my version of this. I have all the phone calls recorded and saved. I have the blowout with the last manager I spoke with. I have all the calls to customer service. I can and will follow up with more and on other websites since I can. Did I mention I have an insomnia problem? Hehe...

    I had a package delivered on 2/22/2016 in the pouring down rain in a cardboard box that the driver left on my uncovered steps. It had been raining all day long and was raining when it was left. Even my security cameras show them leaving it in the pouring rain. NOT ACCEPTABLE. I called customer service to let them know another package was coming since this one with $157 worth of merchandise was in it is being replaced but it is still raining here so what happens when they deliver this one. I was on hold for 20 minutes and was told another person would call me back within 10 minutes. That has now been 6 hours ago.

    I live out in the country, houses are far apart and my house is 400 feet off the road. 3 times last week and yesterday my packages were left on the side of the road next to the mailbox. I have talked to 4 different people at FedEx. The first one I couldn't even understand, the second told me that it was acceptable to leave them on the road. The last 2 said the drivers are not allowed to do this.

    I order from Walmart because I have mobility issues, I can't go and get the big heavy items myself, until last week the boxes have always been left on my porch. I have to take my car to the road, load the boxes and bring them back to the house. If I could do this, I'd go to the store. I told everyone I talked to that I expected a box yesterday that was expensive and could NOT be left on the road, it was a gift that I paid 140 dollars for. I watched the tracking all day, at 4:20 the tracking said it had been delivered at 3:15. Sure enough, it was out on the road! I don't know what else to do. Have they replaced all the drivers?

The drivers act like they don't want you to get the packages. They must have a strong union bc IMO their drivers should be fired. Total joke.

Look online and again it said delivery attempted. What is wrong with these people. Making promises package will be delivered, was home all day. Called 1800 number they are no help. Told me reattempt delivery 2/23/2016 and if no one is home it will be at FedEx in city of industry. Why am I going out of my way to pick it up when it's suppose to be delivered. Worse service ever.

    I just had an expensive TV abandoned at the bottom of my apartment building steps. When I asked the driver why he couldn't deliver it to my door, he said that it wasn't his job to bring anything to anybody's door unless they tipped him at least $100. Then he said, 'Don't you have any friends? Maybe they could help you with it.' I am an agoraphobe with PTSD. So no, I don't have any friends that can just drop everything to help me drag a TV all the way up to my apartment. This was the whole reason I had the damn thing delivered, because I can't do it on my own!!! What a joke of a 'delivery service'.

    He even left it on its side when the exterior of the box CLEARLY indicates that you are to NEVER turn the television on its side. And on top of it all, the delivery is marked 'attempted, but the business was closed.' Nothing was closed! I spoke right to his face before he left the package where it was since I wouldn't be exploited for a tip. SHAME ON YOU FEDEX!!! How dare you employ drivers that would take advantage of and bully the handicapped??

"Oh I found a door tag on the door." They never tried to come In around that same time. I had USPS deliver something. He got in the building just fine.

    I have been getting dog food delivered from Chewy.com for about 8-9 months with no problems. Now there is a new guy driving a ** guy that is very rude and disrespectful. I am disabled and unable to move those heavy boxes. He was asked to put them in the garage where there is a sign on the wall to put them. He *refuses* to put them where they are supposed to go and yesterday (2/18/2016), he put them right in front of my door to where I cannot get in and out of my door and I can't move the boxes. Now if I want to go get in my vehicle I have to go out the front door, down the sidewalk and around the house to get to my car.

    As stated, I'm disabled so this is a hardship on me. This same person when he made the delivery last month, he attempted to put the boxes at my front door DESPITE THE NOTATION FROM CHEWY.COM that the packages are to be put in the garage. When I opened the door and asked them to please put the boxes in the garage where they are supposed to go, the stock ** guy got all huffy and rolled his eyes and pfft at me, then stomped around and *slid* my boxes on their side in the garage. He did NOT put them IN the garage as requested but slid them in the door. Then despite being told he needs to put them IN the garage when making the delivery yesterday he stacked them right smack in front of the door. I was told by his supervisor that he would be told to come and move the boxes today. He was just here delivering to a house the next house over from mine and did NOT come and move these boxes.

    I will be filing a complaint with the Americans with Disabilities about this as this treatment is totally unacceptable. Not only can I not get in and out of my garage door, I can't take my garbage out tonight either due to this disrespectful piece of **. I hate pulling the race card here but that's exactly how it appears to me. I'm a 60 yr old disabled ** female that a young ** guy can't even take few extra steps in and put the boxes in a designated area in order to make it accessible for me. Pretty sad state of affairs.

    I placed an order through the Fitbit website with overnight shipping and everything processed like normal (besides the fact that they use FedEx). I paid for overnight shipping and I ordered it early enough in the day to receive it the next day. So I waited for the next day to get my product. Nothing showed up so I waited for the following day. Nothing... So I finally called FedEx and asked where it was. They said "It was delayed due to weather." So I said "Okay things happen." They said "It will be there the following day." Still nothing showed up.

    I called again and said "They would look into it and call me back in 2 hours." About 2 hours later I got a call saying that "We have located it." Still nothing arrived so I called yet again and they told me that it has been scanned in over 4 days. Where was the courtesy call saying "Hey we messed up. We lost your package." No they don't have a heart to say that. I fought tooth and nail trying to find it with them. (I don't think I should have done this considering I paid them for a service that obviously has gone bad). They said they needed a description of the package. I don't know what it looks like. I never received the package. We went in circles for about an hour until they said "We lost your package."

    This was the worst experience of customer service in my life. I'm not kidding either. It was horrible. The agent was condescending and rude treating me like I'm the stupid one. I work in customer service and I would never treat anyone like this especially a customer. They said that I didn't own the package I paid for, this was the last straw for me.

    FedEx delivered a Graco travel car seat system with stroller, and placed it directly in front of my front door on a Friday. I am an honest person, so I called them at 1:30pm to make them aware that it was not mine & asked them to retrieve it. I told them that I was not going to be responsible for someone else's package. I was told that they would come and get the package before the end of the day; and was instructed to leave the package where it was on the porch.

    At 8:15pm, I called them again because the box was still in front of my door on the porch. I was on the call for over 20 minutes, and spoke with two different representatives explaining that this did not belong to me. I told the representative that I was not going to be held responsible for the package and wanted it removed from my property. The second representative told me that the office was closed, so they would not get the package until Monday.

    I told them that was not acceptable, and asked what am I supposed to do with it. The representative told me that they did not care what I did with it, they have a process in place to reimburse people for lost merchandise. I was surprised, so I said, "so I can just throw it in the dumpster because I want it off of my porch. I should not have to hunt down someone's address to deliver their package to them." He said that FedEx doesn't care what I do with the package; but they would not be there until Monday.

    It is ridiculous that a small package transportation company will just leave someone's merchandise at the wrong address; and not follow through on their commitment to retrieve the merchandise within an acceptable time frame. This is poor customer service, especially for the customer who is expecting their merchandise. FedEx has lost us as a customer because we see the value that they do not place in customer service.

    I sent a package on Jan 30th and I wanted it to be delivered by Feb 1st. FedEx tried to deliver it but couldn't got a hold of anyone. Instead of sending the package back to me or contacting me regarding the no delivery of the package FedEx sent it for destruction. Luckily I called them today and they said it has been destructed. After requesting they checked the recycle bin and were able to find the package. I requested it to be sent to someone else instead for which they told me I have to pay additional funds. I went to the FedEx location myself. The associate filled out the form which I still have the original one. She never asked me for my email or phone number or receiver’s phone number or email. They said someone is going to call me in two hours regarding my package. I had my lab so I went to my university. I left my phone with my friend and explained her whole situation.

    Whoever called was very rude. She even said that it’s our mistake because the package had no phone number or email address. Then I called FedEx back again and the associate who was handling the call hung up the phone on me. I called again and this time I told this person the whole situation and all he had to say is that I am really sorry for the inconvenience. No one is taking the responsibility of this issue and I had to pay $23.36 for the first time and now $14. Those were some important documents that I wanted to be delivered on time; instead I ended up paying more to get that awful customer service. No one will take responsibility of the issue. It would have been less stressful and economical if I had driven 2 hours myself and have delivered the package myself. BEWARE OF IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE. I believe none of their employees use FedEx for their shipment because they know the kind of service they deliver.

I was then told that the driver left it around the back door of my house. Weird thing - my house does not have a back door. A week and a half later, Beth says that the lost claim action is closed.

    This company is a disgrace. A month or so ago FedEx delivered auto parts to a neighbor's house on a different street. The nice neighbor contacted me that they had my packages. A week ago ordered another car part. Was at home & watched for item. Said it was delivered when checking tracking but nothing showed up. Contacted FedEx, got no answers. Terminal supervisor called & said he would call back. No more contact from them. Parts company shipped another part, it arrived on time through UPS. Did not catch my next order, it was shipped through FedEx & it's still sitting in Texas after 3 days. Has not even moved through tracking check. Will absolutely only use UPS or USPS, or SpeeDee delivery. BEWARE: DO NOT USE FEDEX IF YOU WANT YOUR PACKAGE DELIVERED!

    I paid extra for 2 day shipping and was supposed to receive my package on Saturday. I stayed home all day and frequently checked my tracking # and my front door to see if my package was left. Finally, my package said it has been delivered. I check my front door and see nothing was left so I immediately hop in my car and head to the office in my complex. We search the room where they keep the packages but it was nowhere to be found. They told me the FedEx guy had left about 10 mins ago and might be still making his rounds so I head back to my apartment to wait around but the package never showed. I'd like to say this was a rare occurrence for FedEx but nooo. This exact situation has happened to me before (shaking my head).

    In the other situation, I called and talked to several rude people who acted like I was an idiot because I never received a package who's status says it's been delivered. I finally got in touch with a rep who opened an investigation for me and a couple days the driver brought the package to my door. He pretended like the package was at my apartment office the whole time lol. Now, here we are again, another "delivered" package and another open investigation (shaking my head). Just looking at FedEx's social media and other reviews on here it's clear FedEx don't give a damn about their customers. Rude phone reps and no replies to any complaints made on their pages.

    So my wife ordered a coffee table and cabinet from Target. Normally we would do this in store but one of the items was online only. We got notification on Friday at 11:51 AM that it had arrived. My wife had come home from lunch and I was home at that time and I had the day off. I would like to mention I live in a upper level 2 bedroom condo with 2 pitbulls that bark whenever anyone comes up the stairs. The packages that were being delivered were about 50-70 lbs. a piece yet when the package was delivered my dogs did not bark so later on we called FedEx said they weren't delivered and gave us the whole "Are you sure?" crap. Of course we would notice 2 big packages and my dogs would've barked when they were delivered.

    So we got a case opened and was told someone would contact us by Tuesday. Luckily we had a neighbor tell us the next day the packages were at building J number 5. We live in building O in what world a J looks like an O. I'm not sure or maybe FedEx needs to teach its employees the alphabet. Nonetheless I had to drive to building J pick up these boxes and haul them to my place after they had been left sitting in the snow overnight. I called and complained and was shown no empathy. I just want FedEx to know you are hated.

    I live in a rural area. Neighbors are spaced out on 1 1/2 acre lots. My property is completely fenced in with a gate that is set back off the street by about 20 feet.

    I do not want to completely rag out FedEx, as in the past, they have been fairly reliable. But today, I have been the victim of what I consider a lazy, ignorant driver. It is raining. Not hard, but raining. Instead of doing what every driver before him did, this guy decides he does not want to get out of the truck and walk the 20 feet back and leave my pkg. in the plastic bag as all other drivers before him have done. This pkg. was not to be signed for. I am livid, as I have waited for the pkg. for 10 days.

    I called and gave customer service order number. The delivery schedule page tells me the pkg. will be attempted to be delivered the next business day. To me and the rest of the world, that's Monday (it's Saturday). She goes on to inform that is not FedEx's schedule, I will likely receive the pkg. Tuesday. It will be almost 2 weeks before I receive my goods. I am blaming the driver, not FedEx as a whole. Like I said earlier, they are normally alright. But this has me really upset. I needed some of what is in the pkg. for Superbowl Sunday... That is now moot.

    I have had 3 deliveries through Fedex in the past month. 2 were lost, and the other was damaged. The first lost one was delivered to me by the person it was incorrectly delivered to 6 days later. Fedex never addressed my report of the missing package. The damaged one is pending. Today, the other lost package cost me 2 hours of phone calls with no resolution. I am hesitant, but on the verge of believing the driver may be dishonest. The damaged package was lost for a month before delivery. I will no longer purchase from any company that ships through fedex. My purchases are for a kitchen remodel, and have extended my discomfort of living with no working kitchen. The horrors of a remodel, however, are nothing compared to the horrors of dealing with fedex.

    2 days ago, I called a friend to let her know our mutual friend with cancer had passed early in the morning. While on the phone, I heard a thunk outside the door, FedEx had left a package. Thinking it was something for my upcoming wedding, I went to get it. It was someone else's package, called FedEx, told them package was misdelivered and was outside door where driver left it. Yesterday afternoon, the recipient of the package shows up looking for it. I told him what happened, he left. He comes back with his daughter, package was for her, makeup & stuff. What can I do? I felt like I was being accused of stealing a child's makeup. He said FedEx had no record of my phone call, showed him my phone showing a 3 minute conversation with FedEx the morning of the misdelivery. His daughter said "that was when the package was delivered".

    Later that evening a FedEx guy came by for package, told him I left it outside, it's not there now. He said the day guy probably has it, was not surprised at screw up. This morning a FedEx guy showed up 2x looking for the package, inspecting my yard. I work from home- this does not mean I don't work, when I'm in front of my computer I'm working. I couldn't get FedEx to come and pick up the package right away when I called, now they have been here 3x in less than 24 hours. My soon to be hubby said the next thing is the FedEx swat team. I understand a little girl is upset about her makeup, but I want to be left alone. In slightly under 10 years, we've had 3 packages that were supposedly delivered, but were not. We live on the cross street of a county road, people throw garbage on my lawn, boxes have disappeared, my car has been vandalized.

    I ordered a phone and paid for overnight shipping. I was home the next day, and expected it as the CSR advised it would be there by 8 PM. Around 6 PM I thought, it should've been here by now, since it was shipped from about 6 hours away from where I live. I checked tracking and even though I had paid for and been told overnight, FedEx took upon themselves to change it to 2nd Day without telling me. Next day, delivery comes literally 10 minutes before my wife arrives home (she took half day off to be there for delivery). The door tag states, “Will be available for pick up at 6 PM at local distribution center.”

    My wife drives down 30 minutes 1 way mind you, only to be told, "Well the driver is running behind and won't be back until 7 actually." So, you took my money for overnight, FAIL! You say it will be here at this time instead, FAIL! And you say, "Well you can pick it up at this time", FAIL!!! So three strikes FedEx. Your business practices are why your business should never be used by anyone, ever again. FYI, I work for a very, very, very large entity, and I am going to pursue a complaint to my manager, that we never use your services again either.

    When I called about a package incorrectly delivered to my address, I was told that within two hours someone would contact me about the pick up and when/who would be scheduled to retrieve the package. Within a half hour someone came and rang the bell. No prior call as promised. She refused to give me my package or retrieve the incorrect delivery because she was afraid of my schnauzer. I grabbed the dog and with the package was trying to open the door and get her the package through the doorway. She continued to push against my door making it impossible.

    I told her "I am trying to get this package to you." She kept screaming "do you have the dog?" "Yes," I replied "let me open the door." She screamed at me "You don't have to get smart." I said "I am trying to give you the package. I didn't deliver this to the wrong address." She screamed at me, "You didn't call me." I told her I did NOT appreciate how she addressed me. She told me she didn't get smart with me. We definitely have a difference of opinion on that matter. I am seething. I was not forewarned as promised in which case I would have had the dog who is not vicious secured. I do not at all appreciated being screamed at.

    I walked into this FedEx close to my house today 1/28 Thursday. My previous experiences was always been good and today was the total opposite. Tanya who has the worst customer service! Just came in for her 5:30pm shift and she was all smug already. She switched over with Alex who helping me and she started taking over the items I am trying to send out for $121.00 and mind you these are medications that can actually save a person’s life. My total came up to $142 which is way over the quote that they give me and I have been sending the same medications for months and I was never charged over $130. So I had to tell her “That is too expensive.” She gave me a look and said "You don't want it?" I said “It is not that I don't want it but the quote that you gave me was pretty far off.”

    I asked her politely to give me the lesser charge and upon clicking SHIP? The computer froze! She was in front me saying to the computer “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?” Then, she grabbed no actually she snatched the paperwork in front of me as if I am not a customer. I was there almost 40 minutes standing waiting for my transaction to finish. She went to the other computer and started the process from the start and as swiped my card, it does not want to go through. This is what ticked me off. She looked at me and said “YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE PACKING ON THE BOX AND BRING IT BACK HERE” with an attitude and full of disrespect. I told her I am paying for the packing materials and I am taking the box but not wanting to do business with them.

    FedEx you guys should filter your people more. If your employees are going to bring their personal problems at work you guys are going to lose business. Your employees are supposed to help, not look at their customers and JUDGE. But from what I can see Tanya does not want to work! This is the most disgusting service I have ever received in my life!

    I created an account specifically to write this review for FedEx. I'm of the mindset "if you don't have something nice to say...", but I can't contain myself. I have lost count of how many unsatisfactory experiences I have had with FedEx (mostly their Smart Post shipping option that companies use), but this is my 3rd from a specific online retailer from whom I purchase frequently - not anymore.

    They use Smart Post, so when I have to return something, there is no other option unless I want to pay through the nose for an alternate method with tracking. Not only do the items take weeks (literally, 3 weeks minimum) to get back to the destination, but when they lost my last package (the tracking information had no movement for 27 days), they did nothing to rectify it. Customer service read from their list of canned responses trying to placate me and, ultimately (after having to wait an additional 2 weeks), told me there was nothing they were going to do. Thankfully the retailer was helpful and refunded my money, but now they're going to have to fight with FedEx, so they're losing out.

    My most recent experience was my last straw. It's been sitting at my local post office for 7 days, according to the tracking. They say FedEx picks up daily, but packages are obviously not being scanned by FedEx because this is where the tracking information halts. I am through with companies that use FedEx, Smart Post, or anything relating to that company. I got my money back last time, but I doubt they'll refund me again - who would? I don't blame them. But now I'm out quite a bit of money.

    I went to the Berkeley downtown location on 1/16/2016 evening to scan my stuff. After I submitted my order with the agent at the front counter to scan two 4x4 inch booklets and two souvenir coins, I stood there for almost an hour to wait for the scan order. After all that wait, the store agent only had one of the four things scanned correctly. It was an exasperating experience seeing a supposedly trained Kinko's employee to try numerous scans on just two 4x4 inch booklets without cutting off corners and edges. I explained to her clearly that the two booklets don't need to be scanned on the same page given the fact there's plenty of space to fit two in one scan. It's a simple job that anyone can handle even myself.

    After she saved the scan docs on my flash drive, I asked her to open the folder for me to double check if the correct images were there. Turns out that one image was missing because she forgot to save it. Eventually, she told me to do the scans at the self service station knowing that I had explained to her at the beginning the self-serve scanner was producing poor image qualities and odd coloration when I tested it before I submitting the order to her. I was very upset with her incompetence to perform a basic scan job and customer service skill. In the end, I asked to speak to a store manager, and was told there is no store manager on site. After going through all this distress, I realized she didn't even return my flash drive when I got home. :(

For both days the attempted delivery time was a little after 3 in the afternoon. Wal-Mart was open those days! So I contacted Fedex customer service and told them to hold both orders and I would pick them up at a Fedex center. A hold was put on one of the orders and I picked it up from the Fedex center.

    For the other order, there was no "hold" showing in the tracking activity and actually no other activity was documented for the order. But for 3 days I was told that it was on the truck and would be delivered that day or the next day. I was told it was not lost. I was told it takes 24 to 48 hrs. for the "hold" to show up in the system when it had already been 48 hrs. I was told I would get a phone call with a status of the order the next day.

    I shipped a package overnight on 12/1/15. I was presented with various prices for the shipment based on the time I needed for arrival. I chose to ship the most expensive method ($196.63). This was selected because I was informed that due to the value of the package it would require a signature. The person receiving the package was unable to stay at their home waiting for the package for the day, thus I selected the shipping method that would have the package delivered no later than 10:30 am. Needless to say the package did not arrive by the guaranteed time. Due to this the recipient had to then call someone to wait at the home because they had to leave for work.

    I called FedEx to complain about not receiving the package on time. They explained that the delivery was delayed due to weather. Keep in mind their weather delay was because of a thunderstorm/rain. I opted to file a claim for a PARTIAL refund. Truly I feel that I should get a full refund, but it was delivered so I am willing to pay what it would have cost me to send the package for delivery after 10:30 am.

    I filed the claim on 12/18/15, and called back on 1/12/16 only to be informed that it was denied b/c the delay was due to weather. Let me not forget to mention that at this point I have been told that it was due to weather, and then another agent stated that the delay was due to an accident (who knows the truth at this point). I am most disappointed in the service that I have been provided, and vow to never use FedEx again. They charge astronomical prices, and then fail to fulfill the service as promised.

    I called and complained and during my complaint explained that in FL, if someone enters your home uninvited in a forceful manner like this driver did, I would be justified using deadly force to stop the intrusion. I never said I would do this, but that I would be justified and the driver should be told to not go into people's homes, ever. Instead of putting a new driver on the route for my neighborhood, FedEx instead decided to send me some absurd letter stating "due to safety concerns, FedEx will no longer deliver to your address". HA! What a joke.. FedEx employees are clowns.

    FedEx picked up an item Dec. 18 which was supposed to be shipped to me 2-day mail. Every other order across US arrived except this item. I am pissed. It is Jan. 7, I can get no person to explain this. FedEx is not a help. Where is my package? I want my package now. The package was picked from Toys R Us online services. I bet FedEx employees' kids had a great Christmas. Robbed! I was robbed.

    FEDEX and UPS are extremely unreliable compared to the U.S. Postal Service, and everybody should know that, in my opinion. When I was in medical school and college I strung tennis rackets to make some money. UPS and FedEx were far less reliable than the U.S. Postal Service in delivering the tennis racket strings than the U.S. Postal Service was. We've got a bunch of unreliable, dishonest business entities in the United States that are trying to take away from us the reliable systems we used to have (such as the U.S. Postal Service), and replace them with these privatized corporations that are dishonest and don't give the people what they pay for, or what is acceptable service. The same thing happened to the Soviet Union during the "phase of exploitation" that preceded the breakup of the Soviet Union and plagued it for many years. "Phase of exploitation" is a phrase that is commonly understood by those who know how communism...

    I ordered a 2000$ computer on eBay and they've arrived like 2 days after the item had been shipped (which was nice) but I a wasn't there at 3h in the afternoon, obviously, I was working. So they left me this paper to ask me to call to 1800gofedex to arrange a way to get my computer. I called them and the guy was very confused and sounded like he popped 10 sleep pills. I ask him if they could ship it at my job, which is 5 mins away, he said "no we can't do that." I asked him if the delivery man could call me and it would take me 5 mins to get there, since my job is 5 mins away, he said "no we can't do that." I asked him if they could drop it at a PostCanada or something near me, he said "no we can't do that."

    I asked him if they could tell me at what around what time the delivery man would come, he said no they couldn't know that. I asked him if I could go get it somewhere, he said yes, but it was an hour and half away from my city and it closes at 6 PM, which doesn't give me enough time to get there after work. He told me I couldn't go there in the weekends either. Then I asked him if there's any way I can get the computer without upsetting my boss asking a whole day off with a ridiculous story about the UNdeliverable package, he said "ehh... ehh I don't know." Oh and I could barely understand him and he could barely understand me. This is Fedex.

    Within one week FedEx destroyed a $1200 piece of equipment and stole a laptop worth the same amount. Photos were sent of the equipment and then they came and picked it up for "inspection" purposes. Then they say they don't have it and deny the claim for lack of evidence. Less than a week later a computer and other assorted equipment was dropped off at a Kinko's/FedEx Office location in Irvine, California for them to box up and ship to Houston. All of the boxes showed up, but the computer was not in any of them.

    When I complained, they spoke to the store manager who said he looked at the security footage and I didn't bring in a computer. When I said I wanted to see the footage he changed his story to say it was in there and must have arrived in Houston. I shipped the equipment in California and I opened the boxes in Houston, they are lying. I am not going to fight with them, these were company items. I'm just not ever going to use them again and will use my influence to persuade others, particularly in my very large company never to use them again either.

    I work for the University of Illinois, and along with my purchasing privileges come the necessity to do (normally) very simple tasks, such as obtaining detailed invoices for my purchases. I was appalled to find that FedEx literally will not give you a copy of your invoice for previous shipments, even if you have all information on the shipment, including the date placed and tracking number. This came about because ordering a shipping label online "estimates" what your final price will be, and when the actual shipment is processed it may be more or less expensive than previously detailed. For instance, my first receipt estimated a cost of $6, and eventually I was actually charged $7; as such, a new invoice was required for Purchasing to approve my bill.

    This is when my utter frustration began. Apparently, without a FedEx account number, there is no such thing as obtaining a past invoice. Online customer service was entirely useless and dismissive, while simultaneously being insultingly patronizing and also offering irrelevant information. Calling the toll free number they gave me resulted in being disconnected 3 times before finally speaking to a human. She issued me a "receipt" comprised merely of the amount I was charged and on what day. But at least she bothered to help me at all, which is more than I would ever say for their online customer service rep.

    When I asked how I might contact the company to review my experience, the same rep responded by sending me the same horrible toll free number... and a fax number, just in case I'm actually living in 1994, I guess. (Back when it also wasn't possible for a huge international company to keep/reissue electronic records of shipment transactions.)

    I received a package from Amazon as a gift for my son. In the past, FedEx has dropped packages in front of my garage, which while annoying, isn't that big of a deal. Last night, however, the delivery person decided to leave the package underneath my mailbox, which is right next to the road. The only way I knew to look for it was the person who sent it asked if I had received it. This is unacceptable behavior for a company!

    On December 22nd I went to a FedEx office location and shipped a small package from Simi Valley to Palm Springs, CA via FedEx Express for a "guaranteed" delivery time before 10:00 a.m. the next day. I confirmed with the agent that the package was guaranteed to arrive by 10:00 a.m. as I had family members waiting for the contents before they could check out of their hotel. The cost was $85.00! The package was not delivered until 3:05 p.m. on the 23rd. Five hours late.

    When I contacted FedEx about a credit for not meeting their promised deadline the representative said "Oh, perhaps you did not know but the delivery guarantees were suspended for the Christmas holiday, and therefore we cannot provide you a credit." I told her that the FedEx agent who accepted my package did not inform me of this suspension of guarantees and in fact confirmed the package was guaranteed to be there by 10:00 a.m. The representative then said "We cannot provide any credit, is there anything else I can help you with?"

    Afterward, I reviewed the FedEx policy online and it clearly states that their "guarantee is suspended for express deliveries delivered between December 18th and December 24th for packages that are delivered within 90 minutes of their scheduled commitment time." However, my package was delivered 5 hours late and clearly not within 90 minutes of the scheduled delivery time.

    I then called back and spoke to another representative who also said there was no guarantee. When I read her the policy from their website she said "You are reading that correctly, but there is no guarantee!!!" I then asked for a supervisor who when connected, confirmed my tracking number and name and told me she credited my account the entire amount. WHAT? After all of that, I was refunded? Why did they put me through all of that nonsense. While I am happy to get the credit, my opinion of FedEx has been marred and I will not use them again. Seems it would have been better for them to honor their policy and take care of their customers. Now they have lost a customer... and probably a lot more like me. Shame on them.

    Twice in a row in dealing with FedEx they have delivered my package incorrectly. The first time about a month ago I shipped a package. FedEx delivered it 30 minutes away from the actual destination. Throughout the process of "tracking" the incorrectly delivered package FedEx constantly misinformed me, passed on incorrect information, and never followed up with me when they said they would. After numerous phone calls and hours spent dealing with FedEx one week had passed and my package still wasn't delivered properly.

    Finally with the other party's help I was able to successfully locate the package myself and he had to drive 30 minutes out of his way to pick the package up himself. I then called FedEx for a shipping refund and after being placed on hold and transferred to several departments for well over an hour I was told that I would have to call back in 3-4 weeks to request a refund because their corporate office would need to receive the invoice from my local office. Yesterday I was to receive a bookshelf and instead was delivered a car part. The driver didn't stop to even wait for me to come to the door. In the time it took me to walk from my couch to the door (less than 10 feet) the driver was already back in his truck and speeding down my street.

    I immediately called FedEx to report the error and was told that the driver would be contacted to correct his error that day and I would receive a call from a tracing specialist within 2 hours. After getting off the phone with FedEx I noticed that they were due to close at 3 PM (which was 20 minutes away). I immediately called FedEx again and was told that I was misinformed and that I would not receive a call from FedEx until Monday morning and that the shipping error would not be corrected until Monday.

    Seeing how this was almost the exact same circumstances as their last error 3 weeks ago, I asked to speak with a supervisor. After being placed on hold for 30 minutes FedEx disconnected my call. I finally gave up, tracked, and retrieved my package myself and in the process delivered the package shipped to me in error. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy. Nothing but headaches. Their drivers cannot read labels, and lots of misinformation.

From Ohio, it went to Georgia, then to another city in Georgia, then up to Tennessee, then was somehow routed to Florida, and is just now back in Tennessee. My expected delivery date has been pushed back three times and now I don't even have one. I guess we'll see within the next week if I ever get my poor sweater.

    Ordered Lego set for Christmas from Toys R Us 12/18. Package gets to Memphis Tuesday, 12/22, 6 AM. Said that package would be delivered by the 24th. Package was still there on the 29th. Went from delivery on the 24th to "pending.'' Called FedEx and was told by rep that it arrived without contents and that I should call Toys R Us. My point being, if FedEx knew this and had known this all last week, why didn't they notify one of their biggest shippers of the problem? Why does it take a week for me to do all the leg work? Really, really poor.

    So package is shipped again this time from KC. Order was processed 12/29/15 at 12:18 PM. It arrived at the FedEx facility at 7:57 PM. Then how was the pick-up scan for 12:00 AM on the 29th?

    I was home all day and I left a signed note with my cell phone number and told them to leave the note on at the main door if they could not reach me as instructed by the automated phone call I received the day prior (an indirect signature) was required. No attempt was ever made. No doorbell was rang. They did not try to call me, nor did they leave the package at the main door or even a door tag. Then I get a status update, saying a delivery exception. I called their 1800 number within five minutes. I was told by their agent no door tag number was even recorded at the time. So basically, no attempt was even made and the driver basically lied.

    The agent informed me that they would try to reattempt on the same day and I would get a call back from the Maspeth office. This is at 11:38 AM. Two hours later, I did not receive a phone call. I called the 1800 number and got connected to the Maspeth office. The agent said they would try to reattempt between 2 to 6 PM and they could not get a hold of the driver. At 4:05, I get a status attempt that says that the package is at the facility. Of course, I call back and after two attempts, I get connected to the manager of the station called Noe. He told me they could not attempt to deliver my package and I would have to wait till tomorrow since there were no couriers. He did not even address the blatant lies and acted like this was my fault.

    At this point, I wanted to make formal complaint and talked to executive agent called Janelle **. She said they would handle this matter internally and it was too late to try to deliver this package, and all she could do was apologize. She also said that it was not their delivery driver's job to ring the doorbell. That doesn't even make sense and also there was a signed note on the door to leave the package. So basically, in all, not only did FedEx lie, they gave me the runaround from 11 AM to 4 PM just to tell me it's too late to reattempt at 5 PM even though I called since 11 AM. They never attempted to deliver the package in the first place and never tried to correct it. The agents were completely unsympathetic and acted like this was my fault or issue.

    I have never had an issue with UPS or USPS but always have some type of issue with FedEx. They are not accountable for their actions and who can trust a company where the delivery drivers are completely untrustworthy and lie? Also, this is two-day delivery and today is the third day. So not only is this company untrustworthy, they are unreliable. Furthermore, reading previous reviews, this is not the first time this has happened with the drivers. FedEx needs to be accountable for their actions.

    I am currently in Costa Rica for a few months (or longer as my sister is ill) and when I buy things on the internet I have them shipped to a freight forwarder in Florida and they consolidate my purchases into one box and bring them to me. One company I deal with on a regular basis recently changed shippers and started using FedEx Express. The problem arose because unbeknownst to me, FedEx Express turns packages over to USPS for final delivery of packages. USPS refuses to deliver to freight forwarders. I think USPS is trying to force people to use their ridiculously expensive international shipping service which I cannot afford to do. FedEx Express should be held responsible for the delivery of my package since they originally took possession of it. They refused to do anything.

    I ended up having to file a complaint with the US Postal Inspectors since it is a federal offense to refuse to deliver the mail. It took months and many levels of government to get the package delivered, FINALLY. My point is, that FedEx Express completely washed their hands off the entire process. They should not give packages to someone else to deliver unless they are going to be responsible for final delivery. The end result is that I cannot do business with this company anymore, a company that I had been very happy with until FedEx Express reared its ugly head.

Of course that was not an issue and the part was shipped the same day. I ordered it for a scheduled delivery of 12/24. Unfortunately, they used FedEx overnight services to get it to me which as of today (12/26) still has not happened. When I called the customer service group at FedEx they simply repeated what was on their website for tracking and suggest that I try back later to see if anything has changed. The whole point of calling was to make sure that the package had priority and would be delivered today since after all I did have to pay for the next day air service which was 3 days ago and the package was delivered to the local FedEx distribution center.

    The kicker in all this is that the package is currently at the local distribution center and all they had to do is make sure that the package was put on a delivery truck. According to the time stamps from their tracking services they had 3 hours to do so but decided that the overnight service should take 5 days. Apparently FedEx has no concept of time or why a package that is supposed to be delivered in a day should have a priority in getting delivered after it has been delayed. I will no longer use FedEx.

When I dropped those packages off, I specifically asked, "These will go out tonight right?" and received a "Yes" answer from the man who helped us.

    When I tracked the packages early the next afternoon, I saw that the package to Hawaii was not even picked up! The driver was there scanning packages when I gave them both boxes!

This package was supposed to be delivered in time for Christmas on Dec. 25! Why the hell would I be sending it on 12/23 if I didn't want it to be delivered on 12/24?

    Since of course they don't deliver on Saturday in Hawaii, God forbid, I then had to go the FedEx office today, pick up the package, take it to the US post office, and pay 54.00 to have it delivered on Saturday, Dec. 26, which is still the day AFTER Christmas, when this package was supposed to be delivered on Dec. 24, the day BEFORE Christmas, because they were Christmas presents. FedEx acted like I did something wrong, when THEY are the ones who told me that the package would go out Dec. 23 and be delivered on Dec. 24.

Last month I got off and my delivery was sitting in the middle of my yard. Shoot my front door was only eight feet away from where they placed the boxes. Wouldnt recommend, will definitely not use again, and the only reason that any rating is being given is because it's required. It's below zero.

    Like most the other recent reviews, my packages will not be delivered when promised by FedEx, and have been sitting at my local FedEx facility for three days. It will be at least another five days before they unload the carrier they are in. The 1-800 FedEx representative on the phone called the facility and was told my package is still on the transport truck from where it was shipped and I cannot even go pick up my package. He was told that they do not have enough personnel to unload the trucks coming in. There is nothing I can do but wait. He was very apologetic and he said he could understand me being upset because he was upset about it too. Very nice representative. Very poor delivery service. I had 19 other items I ordered for the holidays, some coming to my house, some to FL, NV and OR, all were delivered on time or even early by UPS or USPS.

    I just had some perishable items delivered. I DID not know they were there until I went in my backyard and saw 2 boxes at my front gate. No one came to the front door and rang the doorbell. It was raining on the cardboard boxes. They could have been there for days if I hadn't gone to the backyard. Furthermore, with all the thieves grabbing packages off of front porches, you'D think the idiot would have put them behind the gate. I will inform all my friends do not use FedEx. They are lazy!!! UPS will take to the front door and ring the bell.

    You think that sending a packet with signature is safer? Think again!! I needed some important replacement parts for my keyboard which was still under warranty. Keyboard manufacturer gladly sent the part using FedEx WITH signature requested. Following the tracking #, I saw that my replacement parts have been delivered at the WRONG address and even signed for by someone unknown who didn't had my name either. Spent then several DAYS on the phone with FedEx customer services, which admitted the error about the shipment but kept telling me the same "we will investigate and call you back" without ever calling back.

    Finally, they told me that they cannot retrieve the packet from the wrong address and ask me to open a "lost packet" claim now. Problem is that the keyboard manufacturer who sent me those parts, have closed my request as "part delivered", and they refuse to do anything more about this. Since the claim HAVE to be open by the sender, I am now left with no solution at all, because of the incompetence of FedEx.

They were supposed to be delivered yesterday. But nooo they are still sitting in New Jersey today. Both of his kids live in the Philadelphia area. Here is their answer as to if they would be delivered today: "We cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas due to high volume. No weather issues, just high volume." Merry ** Christmas FedEx. How do they have the nerve to collect higher fees for a supposed "guaranteed" delivery date when their guarantee is in fact useless.

    I shipped a package via FedEx. FedEx delivered the package to the wrong address, then was unable to locate the package to redeliver. I filed a claim as instructed and was then told that due to the contents I claimed was in the package, they would not pay the claim. The package contained a bottle of wine among other things. I receive wine at my house regularly, delivered by FedEx, so I had no idea I could not send a bottle in a package. I obviously didn't know or I would have not listed it as being part of the gift I shipped. I feel FedEx should honor the claim since it was their shipping error that caused the problem. I will not use FedEx again and would never recommend them as a carrier. They also charged me an extra $12.50 for the address change that I didn't approve that resulted in the package going to the wrong address.

    This is one of many times. Obviously, FedEx hires incompetent people who can't do their job effectively or are illiterate. Every time I am supposed to receive a delivery from FedEx, they either deliver it to someone else or it doesn't arrive in a reasonable time. This time, I ordered something on Dec. 4th with a confirmed arrival date of the 18th. Dec. 18th, the package was loaded on the truck in the wee hours of the morning and "out for delivery". I called at 6 p.m. and was told it would arrive by 8 p.m. That was Friday, Monday and Tuesday same thing. When I called, they said I would have the package each one of those days.

    Here it's the 23rd of Dec. and still the same story. On the truck to be delivered today... right. Now I'm on hold again. I thought the Pony Express days were over as we moved into modern technology. FedEx must still be looking for ponies and riders! UPS and DHL are the only ones who have it together. Actually, USPS has been pretty good.

    I had a package that was supposed to be delivered. I logged into FedEx to track the package and it said it was already delivered and signed for (by some name of a person who does not live at my house). I called them to find out what happened, and they said, "Oh I'm sorry. It looks like we delivered it to Walmart by mistake." They said they would attempt to retrieve it back. The next day FedEx comes to my door and the man says, "I'm here to pick up a package that was delivered here by mistake and needs to go to Walmart".

    Umm NO. It was supposed to come here and they brought it to Walmart by mistake. They called me back a few days later and said they attempted 3 different times to retrieve my package but were unsuccessful (which I do not believe for a second they tried 3 times). They essentially told me the case was closed in their eyes and I just needed to get a hold of the seller. They took ZERO responsibility for the fact they delivered it to the wrong place and now it was on ME to get another one shipped out. Never again will I use FedEx.

    I ordered a package on 12/7/15. This package was sent to the Columbus, OH FedEx facility on 12/10/15 for delivery with an expected delivery date of 12/18/15. The package sat in the Columbus, OH facility for 7 days, of which 5 were considered to be business days. The delivery date was postponed until 12/24/15. On 12/22/15, I checked the tracking status to see that my package was sitting in state within 40 minutes of my home and P.O. Box, but that the package would not be delivered until 12/28/15, which was clearly beyond Christmas.

    I emailed FedEx in hopes of resolving an issue, to which I received a scripted response apologizing for the inconvenience, but offering zero resolution. The email specifically stated that delivery commitments is within 5-7 business days. I even communicated with someone in Executive Management Support who stated she had called the Northboro location and explained the situation, and would keep me updated. I have not received an update and the tracking still has a delivery date of 12/28/15.

    First complaint was earlier, even contacted FedEx and never got a response. The package was in the middle of the drive on the ground, less than 15 foot from the driveway entrance. The driveway is about 100 ft. long to the house. The package contained electronics. The package was also scuffed, as if it had been tossed rather than set. The tracking info said was left at the front door. The camera we had set to watch the driveway, recorded NO ONE ENTERING THE DRIVE THAT DAY EXCEPT US and a couple squirrels. It was good the electronics were packed good. We do have a container for parcel drops about 50 foot from the road, out of site, out of mind from people passing by.

    The latest incident was with a package delivered to the wrong house. It was a vacant house. Took another week to get item replaced. I made a point to ensure I was there the entire day of delivery, costing me work time. The driver had not even went looking for the package, but was trying to get me to say I had it and that he needed to take it back. I told him when we saw it had been delivered, I did check the neighbor's porch for it, but nothing. I guess he didn't believe me, and went across the street to check. He also asked why our address was not marked, it is and was. (Funny, UPS does not have a problem finding us). I will be requesting UPS delivery from now on. Never worried about it before...

    You fail to realize that I just talk to you, so know that note is not for you! So DO NOT take notes that aren't addressed to you and if it's not addressed to anyone, then use common sense & don't take it off people's doors!! And especially treat me like I'm an idiot by coming back to check to see if my package just magically appears for you somehow at my back door like I don't know how to look for my own package.

She told me she would file a claim for me and she even gave me a claim number, asked me to wait that I would have received a form soon from them to fill out. Been waiting, I called again. Another rep told me "oh the claim was not valid" because she didn't do a trace dispute first in order to create a claim. Which means I have been waiting for nothing.

    I ordered a few different times from Kohl's online before Christmas. I had two different orders during Cyber Monday week and one two weeks before Christmas. The first two orders Kohl's sent through FedEx SmartPost, and the shipments took forever. I did recently receive one shipment this week, 11 business days after it was ordered. The second FedEx shipment has not been received yet, and the order was placed 9 business days ago and counting. That particular shipment shipped from Middletown, Ohio, went to Michigan (which is odd because I live in North Carolina) and was last checked in West Virginia where it seems to be sitting in limbo. I just don't understand why it has taken so long to ship.

    Just to put this in perspective: I ordered another shipment from Kohl's on Monday this week, and it is arriving this evening (Thursday) because this shipment was shipped using UPS ground shipping. I know that it isn't Kohl's either, the shipment is out of their hands after they send it. It's the fact that FedEx obviously doesn't know how to do their job in the most efficient way possible, despite it being the holiday season and tons of people use their services.

I have dealt with UPS and never had trouble with them. All the Christmas orders came right on time. I suggest to Walmart that they use another service since there are so many unhappy customers.

    Several products have arrived 2-3 weeks late. One product was shipped only 70 miles away. 2 weeks after it was picked up, it is still sitting at the terminal. All packages had a guarantee arrival time. This company needs to go back to handling only documents. Leave the handling of parcels to UPS. Only good thing is the drivers are just like UPS...they are for the most part very courteous.

    Bought artwork. Merchant shipped to me packaged extremely well. Shipment fully insured. Artwork delivered cracked. Box had damage upon delivery but FedEx wouldn't make person to person delivery. They insisted I sign in advance or said they would return package to seller. Insurance claim filed and denied, stonewalled by FedEx. They won't pay a dime. Seller files claim on my behalf, again, denied by FedEx. I thought FedEx was reputable company. Now know they engage in bad faith and deceitful business practices. My advice, do not sign and accept any delivery from them until you first open and inspect the goods being delivered. Their insurance is useless. Once you sign accepting a delivery, they will not acknowledge any problems with their service. I will not use FedEx again and their delivery men can wait until I inspect my packages before I sign for delivery.

    They delivered a package that has to be signed for at 12 in the afternoon during the time people work. They leave the sticker on the door, it falls off the door and I find it two hours later. I called the 800 number, talked to a FedEx representative, representative said they contacted the driver and says the package will be delivered before 7 that same night. About 45 minutes after, I received a phone call with no ID from FedEx. They stated that I had two options. 1 was to go down to the FedEx office before 7 to pick up the package, or sign the delivery note so they could leave the package the next day. My answer to them was, they should have delivered the package before 7 pm as they originally promised because I paid for it to be delivered not for me to pick up at a location. FedEx is the worst. They deliver when people are at work and don't care about the consumer. My recommendation is to use UPS. Representatives were uncooperative.

    5 packages coming which were ordered on black Friday.The delivery date has changed every single day it was due to arrive to pending, then the next day. Rinse and repeat. Now it is 12/14 2 weeks from Xmas and the packages all say "pending". I called FedEx several times and they say "someone from smart-post will call within 24 hours." I never got one single callback. The packages are supposedly in "Winsor CT" when a "Winsor CT" does not even exist. A "Windsor CT" exists. I asked the supervisor if FedEx isn't embarrassed having such a horrible program that they cannot even spell the name of a city correctly. What a shame that the number one shipping company has ruined its name by offering this incredibly slow and unreliable service.

It was not returned to the vendor who will not reimburse without the package. Fedex keeps giving the runaround and claims it cannot trace the package at this point. This summer they also "lost" a truck radiator for three weeks. The vendor made good on that incident by sending another. Hess however is a different story.

    Absolutely unbelievable. These people make themselves look like complete scam artists. Let me tell you the story of why I will never be using FedEx again. I paid over $250 for 2-way shipping across several states, and insuring the package both ways. It is now 5 days and several lies from them since my package was shipped back and it still isn't back here. It was shipped back on Monday and the original scheduled delivery date was Thursday by the end of the day.

    On Thursday, someone came by the house only to tell us that the package was crossed off his list because it was "too big for his vehicle" and that a truck would come by later that same day to deliver it instead. He even came by again a few hours later to tell us that "the truck was making its rounds now." Well, okay, no problems there yet, until it becomes the end of the day (8 PM) and still no package.

    Checking the tracking number on the website, it says that no attempt was even made to deliver it at all (???) and it auto-rescheduled the delivery for the day after. It was already a minor annoyance at that point, now that I'm expected to wait at home all day for not one, but two days solely because of their negligence, but it gets worse once I check the tracking number again on that day (today) only for it to tell me that the package was picked up at exactly 8:59 AM and was on transit for delivery.

    I wait all day (again) up until 7:20 PM, 40 minutes before the location closes, and it changes its scheduled delivery yet again to "pending" and then shortly after to the next day once more, so I decide to call them. All that the woman on the phone says is that she's sorry and they deliver up until 8:00 PM. So I have to wait until that time, which is when they close, and if I still don't have it, call them back again. Okay. I still didn't have it, and called them back a second time, also realizing that my package has apparently spent over 11 hours on a delivery vehicle without me actually getting my package or any more updates on the tracking number.

    I spent about half an hour on hold only for them to, again, be extremely unhelpful, and ultimately just tell me to wait until tomorrow morning to call them back since the store is closed and they can't find out anything about the package or why it's delayed, even though they personally told me to wait until after they were closed to call back in the first place. This goes on through the form of several more phone calls, supposed ETAs both on the site and on the phone, and the only thing they seem to be doing at all is delaying my delivery date constantly.

    Some people in this world have jobs, and just because they refuse to do theirs doesn't mean I can keep taking time off mine just to sit at home and wait for a package that will seemingly never come. Their service is absolutely non-existent on the road and completely useless on the phone, and I will be advising against FedEx everywhere I go from now on.

    I will start by saying that I have had off and on bad and good experiences with FEDEX. That being said, lately they have gotten much worse. For example, today I had two different deliveries (not sure why either). I have learned to register the tracking number on their website to warn me of a delivery, exception or delay. The first delivery was supposedly delivered at 4:06pm to my home office. I was sitting at my desk (I can see when the truck pulls in) when the email popped up stating a delivery was made and of course no truck, driver or package. I searched around the area only to find no package. When I started the chat feature on their website (useless by the way), I get the usual reply and runaround.

    That being said, I did receive a follow-up call from a gentleman that wanted to know what happened. After explaining it to him, he said it would take 24-48 hours for him to get back in touch with me after they talk with the driver to see where he left the package. Fast forward, at 5:16 I receive a phone call from a lady that works in the same company my wife does. She asks if she is speaking to the right person and I said "yes this is he." She said "I had some packages delivered today and I have yours." After a conversation between me, my wife and this lady I asked if she wouldn't mind telling me where she lives. She told me and based upon her address she lives 6 miles away from my address where the package was supposed to be delivered. Mind you, not on the same street, neighborhood and almost out of the county.

    Now to the second delivery today. I left my home office at 6:33pm to go to dinner with my wife. When we returned two packages were delivered from FEDEX. Of course, not the one from the first delivery that they believe is still lost. I called their customer service number to find out where the other two items are that were part of one package. Meaning, the one package is supposed to have three items with the one tracking number (taped together or banded - still waiting to hear from the shipper how he packaged the three items together). The first and second person on the phone said that "your package was delivered and there is nothing else we can do". I told them that they only delivered part of my package and I wanted to know where the other two items are. Of course, they were no help and by now I am overly mad and my blood is starting to boil.

    I was told that I would have to contact the shipper to find out what happened and that he would have to inquire where the other two items are. Two mistakes in one day is too much for anyone to deal with when someone pays good money for an item(s) and pays for the item to be shipped. I am still waiting for information about the two items that are missing from the second delivery. I hope that eBay will refund my money due to the error of someone else. Shipping companies have gotten so sloppy with tracking, delivery and customer service that I am thinking of only buying items locally because there is way too much headache dealing with incompetency.

    As a side note, I had just bought a sign to hang in my office and it reads "CAUTION I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR STUPID PEOPLE" and those who work for FedEx in the departments of customer service, delivery and all those associated fit this bill. So long FedEx. Until UPS starts to decline like you have, I will only use them for now. Once they do, I will write a complaint about them too. I hope people read this complaint and be warned about the poor service they are bound to receive.

    FedEx what can I say, so much has been said already. First I would like to say good blue collar jobs are not easy to get for white middle-aged men in America anymore, thanks to our country's hiring practices. That said here goes. I was to have received my package on a Thursday by end of day. So I waited and waited and waited. When I checked my email it proclaimed the driver had been there at 2 pm and could not deliver because nobody was home. Yet he left no door tag as proof of his claim. My email stated that another attempt would be made the next day, and guess what. Only this time he claimed the attempt was made at 8:45, but I saw this information on my email at 8:20 almost a half hour before the fake attempt.

    I once knew someone that worked for this company, and said it was not uncommon for a driver to skip part of the route in order to get finished early. Especially during the holidays when they might be out until late, and claim they had attempted delivery. The mistake this guy made was going to the same address two days in a row. He probably got greedy and lost count. This never happened with UPS. I eventually had the items sent back to the shipper, Music Direct who were no help either. Said I would have to pay for the shipping costs. Get that I pay for a lazy worker's bad work ethic.

    My partner ordered an oil-on-canvas painting online which was shipped via Fedex. I returned home this afternoon to be greeted by a knock on my door from one of the apartment complex's maintenance men who informed me that there was a box with my partner's name on it ripped open by the outside of the building next door. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the box was indeed that which contained the painting. When I looked up the tracking number, the Fedex website informed me that the package had been left outside of our door. Feeling that this was a rather poor business practice, I called the Fedex customer service number.

    The first time I called, someone answered whose accent was so thick I could not even understand her greeting. I hung up and called back. The second woman that I spoke with informed me that because the person who shipped the item did not request signature confirmation, that the delivery driver was authorized to leave the package at the door. "Of an apartment?" I asked also adding "Doesn't that seem a bit careless to leave a package where someone who is not the recipient might swipe it?" Her response? "Well sir, that's our policy."

    I told her that even the postal service, as bad as they are, have never simply left a package on my doorstep regardless of signature confirmation being requested or not. Instead opting to drop it off at the apartment office two doors down from my door. She simply stated that she didn't not work for the post office to which I told her that she should reconsider her employment because she was making the postal service look golden by comparison. So basically, Fedex will leave your packages for anyone to walk by and pick up because taking an extra thirty seconds to walk thirty feet and leave it in a secure location is simply too much work for the drivers. They just lost any future business they may have gotten from me.

    I have done all of my Christmas shopping online so of course many of the sites use FedEx to have their item shipped. Now I have never been one to use FedEx. I much rather prefer UPS and here's why: for one I had ordered a Versace bag as a gift and rather than them holding on to the item while I was not home they simply left it on my doorstep. That was a Versace purse that they left wide open for anyone to just steal. Second I ordered a shirt online over two weeks ago and it has yet to arrive. When I made the purchase it said it would only take 5-7 business days and yet it has been well over two weeks. Third another item that was supposed to arrive a week ago is now under "pending" though it's been in Wisconsin for what is now going to be 4 days.

    They offer customers a time frame of when items should arrive and they fail at sticking to that timeframe. There is no reason for my item to not have arrived for over two weeks, I would understand if it were an international package but that isn't even the case. I am beyond unsatisfied with this company. You would think that for having such a big name they would know how to take better care of their customers.

After paying for expensive FedEx overnight, they expect customers to wait for entire day sitting at home. Asked whether they can give a delivery window. They say they cannot. Then I asked for package to be held back so I can go and pick it up later in the evening, they tell me that is not possible either!!!

    They tell that the package will be available only after 24 to 48 hours after the driver turns in and they know where it is turned in. Is this the idea of overnight? ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. In addition, their reps will threaten you asking personal questions if you press them. The door tag BL nor the sender asks to be signed by a particular person.

    After posting this review and voicing complaints to customer service, the delivery was expedited and time sensitive documents delivered on time. Someone at FedEx remedied the situation. Whoever that person was, thank you!

    Original Review: Dec. 8, 2015

    Went to FedEx distribution center to ship international envelope containing time sensitive documents. Asked specifically for the fastest delivery. Told two options: Option one FedEx International First with delivery Monday at lower price. Option two FedEx International Priority at $142.41 with delivery Friday. Emphasized documents were needed to be delivered prior to Sunday. Was guaranteed by clerk the envelope would be delivered Friday with International Priority. Next day checked tracking #. Scheduled delivery changed to Monday. Paid for Friday delivery, received slower service delivery at priority price. So Employee #**, you either had wrong information, lied, are new, untrained or don't care. At a minimum, customers should receive honest and accurate information.

    Called customer service, no help. Requested to speak to supervisor. Again no help. Told to wait 7 days after Monday delivery and request refund. "Sorry for the inconvenience" is a phrase with no meaning. Side bar: If your business has a billing account, pay close attention to fees charged. Envelopes weighed at local distribution facility show one amount. Invoices later received had discrepancies ranging from $1 to $20 for each shipment. Accounting/billing will tell you discrepancies are result of inaccurate facility scales. Facility personnel stated scales audited monthly. Cancel billing and pay with credit card. This avoids the billing discrepancies.

I filed a claim with FedEx, but because their driver said it was delivered, they're just indicating the package was "lost or stolen" & it was my responsibility to contact the shipper.

    I have had a terrible experience with Fedex. Not only did they lose a TV and an Xbox, they claim to have delivered both these things without any proof. Many things happened to the TV: it was scheduled to be delivered the next day "due to business closed". Then it "never made it to the distribution center". And finally, "it is on the truck for delivery today (i.e. three business days AFTER the scheduled delivery day)". If it wasn't for the kindness of the seller, I'd be out $600 since Fedex takes no responsibility of their delivery staff.

    Next, the saga of the Xbox. My guess is that the delivery man scanned the package and never got it off the truck. Repeated phone calls to the Fedex Customer Care has resulted in multiple "It has been delivered to your leasing office" or "We have started a trace. Expect someone to call you within 2 hours". Neither of this has happened. While it is correct that somebody at the leasing office signed for it, they never received a package for my apartment.

    Finally, the kicker. The TV and the Xbox arrived within an hour of each other. My fiancé signed for the TV. Somehow, hauling a 55in TV to the 3rd floor is FAR more convenient than delivering a comparatively tiny Xbox. Not only did the Home Delivery service make no attempt at delivering it to the actual home, they delivered it to nobody. Hence raising my suspicion of foul play even further. To add insult to the injury, Walmart, the seller, refuses to acknowledge their mistake and start a claims process from Fedex. At the moment, I'm out $400, no Xbox, and no hopes of getting my money back. Well done Fedex and Walmart! I shall happily take my business elsewhere and make sure not a penny is made available to either from amongst the people I know, or myself.

    We ask to speak to a supervisor, she says the same thing and maybe he was delivering to another house, "No he was in front of ours and never left his van. Where is our package? Did he steal it?" She then states worst case scenario is you contact the merchant and they refund your money or ship the product again. Wow, I couldn't believe she said that to me. And then again, we need 48 hours, blah blah blah. Called again in the morning on 12/7 and was told they are not allowed to take our calls and hung up.

    I ordered a package from Hewlett-Packard that was to be delivered on a Saturday. I can say unequivocally that four people were in the house at the time the FedEx driver allegedly tried to deliver the package. Instead, all I had was a door tag indicating that he tried to deliver the package, but no one was home... a lie. I contacted Federal Express, only to be told that they were sorry and that the package would be delivered on Monday.

    On Monday, I went to the tracking webpage to see the status of my package and saw that it would not be delivered until Tuesday. Allegedly FedEx ground is closed on Monday (!). So I was lied to by the driver and lied to by the person FedEx on Saturday; obviously, to calm me down. When I spoke to Federal Express on Monday to attempt to redirect the package to a local facility so I could pick it up myself. They told me that such an action would delay the package another 24 to 48 hours. Are they kidding? The Postal Service has better customer service.

    As a business owner, I can tell you that we will never use Federal Express ground ever again. I would not want to have my packages be unable to be delivered on a Monday. Whoever heard of such a thing? All I got from them is an "I'm sorry". That's just insufficient. Would it be okay if I said I was sorry if I failed to pay? If someone is serious about a consumer's Bill of Rights, there must be penalties for merchants and shippers whose only response is that they are sorry.

The supervisor called back and was very rude from the start then they send a driver who is not the ordinary one. I greeted him with respect and he never responded. He handed me my package and then ripped it out of my hand! And asked "are you the one with the problem about delivery?"

    So I called and complained. No response then they start leaving my packages in the road so I called back. No one ever called back. Finally I threatened to youtube the driver and then I get a call from a security agent from FedEx stating that threading my packages were being left in the road was because I was put on a hostile list! After speaking with me the agent realized that I had every reason to be upset and that I wasn't as hostile as they were trying to say.

    I Ordered a package, actually became 2 because of weight. Shipped from company and was to be delivered on 12-3-15 at 10:30 am. We did have a weather issue and one of the two packages made it to my town, the other was in Spokane. Next day (12-4), both are on trucks for delivery by 9:30 with scheduled delivery of 10:30 AM. At 10:45 it shows that it is to be delivered on 12-4... no time, so I call them. "We had a delay of 1 hour due to weather so package will be delivered by 3:00 pm." 3:15, call again, "the item is to be delivered by 5:30 pm."

    I then talked to customer care. Upon calling around (they called) the local said that the delivery driver was not in the area and had to be back at the office by 4 to complete delivery of picked up items. So I am curious if delivery matters or not. From my experience, we don't. They just want more money for less work. With the conversation on Dec 4, I am also curious if they only deliver where they want to drive.

    FEDEX is a horrible company and very unfair to their consumers. I was supposed to have my package delivered by FedEx on a Friday but FedEx decided to change the day to that following Monday. When the driver arrived he did not ring my bell to inform me that he was downstairs. The driver left my package in the lobby unattended. The building contains 30 apartments and anyone going in or out the building had access to my package. My package was stolen and when I contacted Fedex about the incompetent and lazy driver who was sent to deliver my package I was denied any type of reimbursement. I am now out $200.00 thanks to Fedex's horrible business practice.

    These guys are so bad. My delivery guy has a habit of delivering packages several days later than what the tracking report states. When a package doesn't arrive, I check the tracking report and it says the driver attempted to deliver the package but that "the business was closed." Keep in mind that my house in no way is or resembles a workplace and the packages in question didn't even requires me to sign upon delivery. What's more, no notes are ever left on my door, leading to the incontrovertible truth that no attempt to deliver the package was made. Other times, it will say "package out for delivery," and then a few hours later it'll say that the delivery was delayed until the next day with no reason given. If it were up to me, I'd never use FedEx again, but sadly merchants I buy from online seem to like them.

    Fedex recently shipped a Lexmark copier for one of our clients back in Oct and it arrived soaking wet to the point the box was falling apart. My client refused shipment as they didn't know if the contents were damaged inside. Our distributor reshipped a second unit out and they received the second one just fine. What is a huge disappointment is the driver says he used liftgate and 2nd floor delivery and they are being charged extra 81.00 freight charge directly to my client. My client has a loading dock on site which would make no sense to back halfway down and use the lift gate then pull the device up a ramp. Second the client location was on the 1st floor as the unit wouldn't have even fit on a pallet through the elevator.

    After explaining this to the Customer service and the local freight manager at the FedEx location in Duncan SC, they still are not willing to take off the Lift Gate and Second story charges for my client. "The client signed for it therefore they must pay" is Fedex stance. They did however talk to the driver and he did use the lift gate because he didn't know they had a loading dock. Their mistake is your cost. They didn't like it that I said I should send them an invoice for the wasted time on the first mistake of a wet soaked device, as we had scheduled hours to install on that date which also is a waste of time. Make sure that you don't sign for things now on FedEx delivery as they can then tack on extra charges you may not be aware of.

Called them at 2.30 pm to reconfirm, suddenly they had a completely different address (not even similar), had to give them my address for the THIRD time now and pick up for today was scheduled between 10.30 am and 6pm anyways although I specifically told them to pick it up before 3pm.

Now I expect it next day which Verizon assumed the same saying I would have it by 8:30 pm Saturday. I received my tracking number Friday from FedEx and it stated that the package was a "FedEx priority overnight shipping" but noticed the estimated delivery from them was now Monday by 4:30 pm.

    Well, Monday came and the tracking said it left for delivery at about 7:30 am, and it is now 7:30 pm. The fact that they did not deliver within the "overnight" or by the 4:30 deadline they created is a double failure to me. They need to send updates to people that are expecting a delivery. This package must be signed for and they have me sitting around waiting while they do whatever. Thanks for wasting my time!!! That will make 2 days of waiting past the day it should have been delivered. As I said if they gave me better updates as to where my stuff is, I would have been better off going to get the damn package.

    Item ordered Sat PM Nov 21. Tracking says delivery by Tuesday. I check tracking Tues afternoon, it says "delivered to front door at 1019 AM". Well I was here all day, they did not deliver here. I call FedEx and they first insist it must be somewhere on the property, or did I ask my neighbors. Right, because why, they already know they made a mistake? They didn't believe it wasn't here, but finally say they "will open investigation and call with in 2 hrs". (Not). You can see where this is going. I was later contacted by my POST OFFICE that afternoon, telling me someone had called THEM asking if I had ordered something. Yes that's right. It was delivered at a wrong address. I called the other town resident, yes, she did have my (large) package but did not want to bring it up as she could see it was a gift and didn't want to spoil my surprise. (It is a kid's riding tractor for my son, photo on box). Wow, wasn't my fellow town member so nice? Not so, FedEx.

    I called FedEx back (because still no call) and they say my complaint was filed wrong and they would have to restart the investigation. I told them they had misdelivered it, gave them the address, asked them to go fetch, as delivery was to be by Tuesday night. They kept insisting (like they had previously) that it must have been mislabeled and what does it say on the label? Well how the heck would I really know, since it's not HERE, but I could say that yes it did have the right address, because the other resident read it off to me. They say they will "contact the station and get back to me." Uh huh. Later I get a call telling me "they allow themselves 48 hours" to resolve these things. ??? Meanwhile no package for us, no apology, no reimbursement, no nothing??? They won't give me any $, but they will to the shipper? Right because I'm the one tracking down the package?

But yet they can come to my front door and put a sticker on it but they can't try to deliver it to my front door. And what's funny is at 8:30 a.m. I received a FedEx package and at 11 a.m. they said I wasn't here or business closed.

Driver is recorded on video, pulling onto drive, comes to 3 ft from front door, while talking on phone, throws package on front door and leaves. Had this driver been caught, the truck would have been blocked in and seized, until driver arrested and charged criminal trespassing and court order to release. Again FEDEX has not got the message and continues to drive on my driveway causing cracks from overweight trucks on drive. At this time, the notice and complaint will be filed with the FCC. This complaint will be copied and pasted on FCC complaint to assure FEDEX has received more than ample notice that their drivers will be charged with criminal trespassing if ever return back to this property again.

    I will make complaint at this time to Fayette County Sheriffs office, so that when your drivers return they will be arrested on the spot. Complaint of trespassing will become a criminal action upon entrance to location. I make every effort to assure that no shipper will ever ship by FEDEX to this address, this includes every division of FEDEX. I can not however control how others may attempt to send me a package. Therefore FEDEX needs to advise all subcontractors or affiliates that they are subject to arrest if they return to this address.

    I have UPS deliveries almost every day and can tell you for over 9 years their software allows drivers to be alerted not to drive on driveway.

    We are a company that does a lot of shipping to customer and to and from our suppliers. FedEx offered us a decent rate to go with them. They have gotten worse and worse with their shipping. The final straw was two weeks ago (Nov. 6) when we shipped to a customer. One of the three packages - a wooden crate of 20x20x18 - was opened, apparently gone through and then when they could not completely close the crate correctly, they packed the entire thing in a cardboard box and taped it up.

    When the customer opened the box we found out what had happened and he called us. We immediately called FedEx and after talking with three people I was told that based on their information the crate had not been repacked. They gave me a case number and promised to look in to the problem and would contact me in 24 to 48 hours. I did not hear from them so I called again. After being shuffled around I finally talked with someone who said the same thing again, they would check the locations the crate had changed hands and call back in 24-48 hours. That was a week ago and no work from them at all.

    I have now put in a claim to get money for the equipment that has been lost. We would rather have the lost equipment since it is manufactured by our supplier in Denmark and takes a while to get the new equipment, plus having to pay shipping, duty and taxes again from Denmark into the U.S. The customer needs the equipment to do the installation on his boat. We are having to send him a temporary part from our demo unit until we can get a new part from Denmark. As a small company, we cannot afford to have a shipping company lose, break or deliver late or to the wrong address any of our equipment. FedEx is not friendly to small business at all. They have drivers who are not careful with packages, who are lazy and who aren't smart enough to figure out where an address is. We have had enough of this and are going to take our shipping needs elsewhere.

I saw the note on my door when I was going outside with my dogs around 10:35 a.m. I called customer service and ask the representative to help me to get my package by picking it up instead and he said that the origination FedEx receiving in my city was closed (at 11:00 a.m) and that it would be delivered a Tuesday! I asked if I could do something else and he said I could transfer the package to be deliver to a closer station so I could pick it up the same Saturday. Well, I waited the whole day to later be told by FedEx customer service that the original service station has been open that day until 6. That they don't know why the representative told me that and that when I request a transfer package it takes around 24 hrs to be done, so that I would still get my package on Tuesday.

    To make things worst I have to say that the 1st representative that I spoke with didn't speak English. My husband was trying to seek to him, and he just couldn't communicate effectively. I took the call because I'm bilingual and not even I could understand him, I asked him to speak Spanish to me and then we could finally had a conversation that made sense. HOWEVER this person, even after I spoke and explain things in SPANISH, I don't think that he had a knowledge of his work or operations, he was the one that told me to send the package to another location when I could just had pick it up that day and he said I couldn't because it was closed. (That station was not closed; he gave me wrong information) and because of him I couldn't get my package on time.

    So int his intense 2 employees at FedEx messed up a denier; First the Driver for not doing his work, and second the CUSTOMER SERVICE representative that did not gave me accurate information and made things worst. Oh, and when I called back to make a formal complaint, the 2nd CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE was another hispanic that didn't speak good English!

    Following the shipping notification for my purchases, I saw that the items were being shipped separately in two packages. Luckily they were scheduled to be delivered on the same day and it so happened I was home that day... all day. I live in an apartment building which is on an busy city street lined with apartment buildings. My building is secure with an entry way and a lobby both of which a guest must be buzzed through. The door bell system is also tied into my smart phone so when the door bell rings it registers as an incoming call. By 4 pm when my bell still had not rung, I looked at the tracking info. Imagine my surprise when it said both packages had been delivered at 10:47 am and left at the front door. Now I had already been down to collect my mail around noon and did notice several packages for other residence but none for me so seeing that I went back down to the lobby, the entry way and the front of the building... nothing.

    I called FedEx, they told me to look in the yard and ask my neighbors... I live in a city apartment building, what yard, city - neighbors, did they want me to knock on every door in the building? After two calls they agreed to track the packages by speaking with the driver. After two days, they called back to tell me that the driver said he left both packages at the mailboxes of a brick apartment building. All the buildings on the street are brick! And the mailboxes are in the second lobby not at the front door as it said on the shipping information. Also, who buzzed him in, it was not me. The CS rep suggested that I must have missed the door bell despite the fact that I told her the door bell rings my cell phone and there was no missed call. Then she said that was all they could do and I should contact the retailer.

    When I asked why I should contact the retailer when it was FedEx who is responsible for delivering, she told me that speaking with the driver is all they do and to pursue any further action I would need to put in a claim for reimbursement. First of all, it was like speaking to a recording, it didn't matter what I told her she repeated the same thing, "The driver said he left the packages by the mailboxes." Secondly, she continued to imply that it wasn't really FedEx's problem because as far as they were concerned the packages were delivered. The whole experience was a frustrating exercise... from the beginning I could tell they weren't going to find the packages or take responsibility for them.

    Amazingly, the retailer will reimburse me and since these were gifts for an upcoming shower they will send the merchandise to my nearest store so I can get them on time and more importantly won't have to contend with FedEx. It is unfortunately that this retailer uses FedEx because it means that I will no longer shop online with them or any other retailer who uses FedEx to deliver. What a horrible company and what terrible terrible customer service... an example of a business too big to think that it matters if they are bad at what they do!

    I recently ordered a tablet computer from Amazon which was delivered via FedEx Ground. FedEx Ground damaged the computer by crushing the package as was clearly evident by markings and distortion of the package. Upon this realization, I contacted the seller and was given a Return Merchandise Authorization. I then SAT and waited for several days without hearing anything further. I then contacted the seller who ask me if I had been contacted by FedEx.

    The following week I found a crumpled and weathered door tag on the driveway. I had no idea of whether it was even related to me or my address or was simply a blown scrap piece of paper. Since it contain no information relative to me and it was essentially blank, I discarded it. 2 days later I saw another door tag this time in a flower bed. At this time I concluded that it must be related to me in some way. But it contained no information or directions. I immediately emailed FedEx to inquire about the door tag number. I received a non-reply email from FedEx indicating that it pertained to the RMA including its tracking number and the RMA number.

    With this information, I called FedEx to ask if I could simply drop the package off at a local FedEx facility and thereby quickly resolve the issue. The FedEx representative told me that I could drop off the package at the Holly hall facility here in Houston. Thrilled, drove to that location and presented the package to the lady at the counter. She indicated that she could not accept the package and she mentioned something about it being an Express. At that point I was thoroughly confused because she did not consult the computer or look up any information regarding the tracking number. She told me that I would have to take it to a shipping or drop off location.

    I returned home and eventually I found a drop off location in a strip mall. I called that facility to ask if I could drop the package off there and I told them the circumstances. The representative sarcastically told me that that was their reason for being in business and that of course I could drop it off there. This time, less thrilled I drove to that location and the 8300 block of Main Street only to be told that I would have to buy a box and pay the shipping charges back to the seller. Again there seem to be no understanding of what the RMA authorization meant. I knew that the information that the employee gave me was incorrect.

    So I determined to seek further information from the seller and FedEx. FedEx left two door tags. But I have no idea what to do. Multiple calls to FedEx gave me multiple directions of what to do. I was told that the driver would have to pick up the baggage and print a mailing label. Only the driver could print the mailing label. The people at the FedEx locations that I've visited could not print the mail slip. After a week, the situation continues unresolved.

    I have tried begging the FedEx drivers here in Ga. to please put the packages they bring to leave them on the floor inside my house. They refuse. In fact one gave me the finger. In Florida they are very courteous and they were more than willing to put the packages inside. I use a cane, cannot bend, and I am unable to lift. I feel that Those Drivers should respect people more. I think that FedEx should not be allowed to deliver packages. UPS and the USPS put packages inside for me. It is just the Rude FedEx People That are as nice as the Plague.

    My daughter's Straight phone stopped working. They told us they would send us a box to send the defective phone to them and they would send her another phone. They said the box would be here in 3 to 5 business days. Straight Talk sent the box to FedEx 10/13/2015. It is now 11/10/15 and still no box. I have called Straight Talk and FedEx about the box seeing how we only had 7 days to send the defective phone back. FedEx is now saying the box will be here Thursday which is in 2 more days. This is not the first time I have had trouble with FedEx. FedEx needs to be shut down.

    Paid $75.00 to ship a small box overnight to be received by 10:30 a.m. When I called, THEY COULD CARE LESS. THEY ACTUALLY OUT AND OUT LIED. They need to go out of business. The package contained medicine I needed and I waited at my daughter's apt all morning rather than being with her in the hospital where she was deathly ill. Then they lied to me about the updated time. Let's get a class action going for consumer fraud!!!

    I work for a local architect firm. We had a driver arrive, grab and scan a VERY important overnight envelope meant for UPS. I called FedEx customer service 4 times and each rep assured me that the driver would be back to drop off the package he grabbed by mistake. After 2 hours of waiting after hours on a Friday night, the driver never came. No one could explain to me why each rep gave false information and each one passing the blame to another. I drove 40 minutes to get the package from the FedEx hub without 1 apology. I find this to be beyond, "Very dissatisfied with the experience." I will do everything in my power to NEVER use them again if I can help it, as well as share my experience with others.

    Customer service is so pitiful and driver is rude. Never wants to make sure packages aren't damaged. Always says he is not taking them back. Acts like we cant get another service to deliver. Probably would like that. On phone service is no help either. Can't help you because you can't understand them.

    I recently purchased an item on eBay that shipped on 10/26/2015. On 10/31/15 it said it was out for delivery. 11/5/15 my package has still not been delivered. I emailed them and they gave me a bogus run around saying they needed all kinda name, address, phone number, what kind of box it was, they needed the part number serial number and manufacturer name. I gave them my tracking number. They said it wasn't enough. Smh. Then I give them whatever info I had about the package. They email me back and say, "We will contact you when we find your package." I hate FedEx with a passion. It shouldn't take 5 days to get a package that's out for delivery.

    I am very frustrated with FedEx and the delivery of my order. The East St. Louis facility called me last Friday night (Oct. 30) to tell me the address on my order was incorrect and the driver couldn't find my home (in reality the address is correct). They then said the item would be delivered on Saturday, Oct. 31. It was not delivered. I then contacted Fed Ex chat on Monday, Nov. 1, giving them explicit directions to my home and was told someone would call me about the delivery in 2 hours - I did not receive any call. The delivery was then rescheduled for yesterday, and it never came. FedEx has my phone number and if the driver can't find my home, he could easily call me for directions. I've lived here approximately 30 years; UPS can find my home, as can the mail carrier. I don't want to order online from retailers using FedEx because I don't want the headache of their incompetency. I'm now waiting to see if the package will be delivered today.

    Here is my problem and I'm sure no one will do anything about it but I feel I must send this anyway. I set up a pick up yesterday at our warehouse location like I do any other day, whether the customer requests UPS or FedEx. And scheduled my pick up as I always do, then took my package to its normal pick up location, as I always do so that it could wait to be picked up. But when I arrived this morning, the package was still in the same location and had not been picked up. Now this has happened on numerous occasions and no one ever does anything about it, and well quite frankly I am sick and tired of this happening.

    I am using an express service because I need what I am shipping to arrive where I've sent it in a faster time. And I feel as an express service you should want to make sure this happens for the customers as we are paying a much higher rate for this service instead of sending the shipment ground! This was a 2 day shipment that will now take 3 unless as I was told by the customer service operator on the phone this morning, who also didn't give a care in the world about my now destined to be late package, I could change to an overnight service. Seriously, now my company has to pay the extra high price of overnight because one of your carrier decided not to pick my package up?! What kind of logic is that??

    I already have to give the customer some kind of discount to help repair the fact that they are not going to receive the materials they ordered in time for the medical research project they are working on. And you're going to say that they called here... They did not, we checked the caller IDs on all the phones in our building and there are no calls from FedEx... Also when you call our system it gives you an option for shipping and they would be my phone and I didn't not receive any calls from FedEx about this pick up! It's pretty ridiculous that this continues to happen. This is the reason we are very limited in our use of your "Services" as we have found them to be so unreliable.

    This is the return item letter I sent out from an item I ordered from Amazon. Pretty much sums it up. Unbelievable. "FedEx is returning this item to you today. The delivery was stated for 5-7 business days, which I would be back in town for and the driver attempted delivery the next day. I requested that it be sent to a specific location by me to be picked up, the driver said that would be fine. It was then delivered back to their major warehouse for me to pickup. I called this morning to verify that it was ready and they were open and they said 9 am to 9 pm.

    Surprised they were open on a Sunday, I called again to verify and was given the same information. I drove an hour to that location to pick it up to have all of the gates locked. When I called again they said I was given the wrong information and they are closed on Sundays. I told them to return the package to you because I am traveling for the next month and could not come back to pick it up again and that I would never deal with their incompetent company again. I am still interested in this item as it is a gift but unless it can be shipped another way, I will have to get a refund and purchase from another seller. I would strongly consider using another service for your deliveries. What I experienced today was completely unacceptable. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. Thank you."

    We ordered some expensive equipment via Amazon Prime (10/28), which was supposed to be delivered in 2 days (10/30). Amazon Prime was spot on having it shipped. However, they mistakingly chose FedEx ground for the carrier. Package was put on local FEDEX truck at 8:11 am, all the while status stating "out for delivery". At 7:01 pm (actually didn't received notice until 7:20 pm) a "delivery exception" was put on the package. Because this has happened numerous times, I have the phone # to the FEDEX local hub. Line just kept ringing busy. Called 1-800 FEDEX and they told me they couldn't get through either and that the hub would not read their messages until Tuesday.

    Now our package states that it won't be delivered until Tuesday (11/3) by the end of the day. We had some bad rain in Austin on Friday, however, UPS was delivering packages in our neighborhood ALL DAY. There was no flooding where we live. Oh no, not FEDEX. If the weather in Alaska is bad, they post a message saying there are weather delays. If Amazon Prime continues to use FEDEX, we will close our Amazon Prime account.

    I ordered a product on 10/28/15 and paid the additional cost of two day shipping. I checked the tracking and the product was received at the local center on 10/30/15. The tracking site stated that the product would be delivered on 11/2/15. FedEx takes four days to move a product within several miles of its destination. FedEx failed to deliver as promised, but I paid the additional cost for two day delivery.

    Fedex is THE MOST annoying to deal with! If I purchase an item from a seller who deals with Fedex again, I will cancel my order and go elsewhere. These people need to obtain better communication and learn about how their company IS RUN! PITIFUL!!! The drivers half-follow instructions... simple instructions. Incompetency is a great thing in the U.S. When you follow your tracking and then call Fedex customer service number, the tracking may show and state two different information about when the package is to arrive. The driver that delivered my package about 1 month ago and which was on a Friday, tried to be slick by stating that the "customer is not available". Nonsense; I was home ALL morning AND with my door open... widely open! I called the customer service and they made her a$$ return with my package on the same day to deliver it. Thank you.

    I ordered a small wheelbarrow tire from Walmart using FedEx. They shipped my package on time and it was supposed to be delivered on Wed Oct. 28th. Package not delivered, tracking said no one home. I was home. FedEx said package would be delivered next day Thurs Oct. 29th. No package, same excuse. I was home. FedEx said it would be delivered the next day. I told them to leave package in high place. No package, I wasn't home.

    I finally called on Fri and gave all my info to the rep and he promised the package would be delivered on Sat Oct 31 and the delivery person would have my phone number and would call me it there was a problem finding my place. The package never even left the FedEx office in Montgomery Sat morning. I called again and their excuse was they didn't have the information and the package would be delivered next Tues??? That's right, a week later than when it was scheduled to be delivered in the first place. Will never use FedEx or any company that uses them for shipping.

    Updated on 11/11/2015: I finally received my package after six attempts by FedEx to deliver it. They never did find my house. I had to go out to the road and meet them to get the package. The original delivery date was on a Wed. And I finally flagged them down and got the package a week and one day later on Thurs. Irresponsible and unprofessional. Their business is to deliver packages - not bs customers - surely they should have gps technology if they don't!!!

    I purchased an item of fly fishing tackle from John Norris of Penrith, a large on-line seller in the UK. I was charged 33.00 GBP for shipping to Canada. I was contacted by an employee of FedEx who asked for prepayment of taxes and fees of $80.98 Canadian. I told her that I would be glad to pay these charges when the item was successfully delivered, and that I would not prepay them. I was told that delivery could be withheld if I did not prepay. I was told that if my home was outside the delivery area for FedEx, then the item would be passed to a secondary courier and delivery would be withheld if I did not prepay.

    I objected to this extortion. I contacted the seller in the UK and related my experience and asked for their assistance with FedEx. I received an e-mail from FedEx warning me that I could be subject to an administration fee of 53.00 GBP plus VAT if FedEx explored my complaint. I contacted the seller again and forwarded to them the threat of the administration fee. John Norris is approaching this matter as illegal behavior on the part of FedEx. Extortion and threats are unacceptable business practices in any country.

    Ordered some things and found out that it will ship FedEx Smart Post. First delivery date they posted on tracking was 10/27/15. On 10/29/15 I called to see why the package was not delivered. I was told that it was in transit. I asked, “How long it took for the package to move 150 miles?” Was told again it is in transit. Next day I see that in is in North Carolina. Called Corporate at 901-818-7500. Was told sorry. I asked why if they knew there was a problem they wouldn't put it in next day and get it delivered. I was told because it was sent Smart Post. I asked why that would make a difference if they had messed it up in the first place. The answer was the same. Sorry it was mailed Smart Post. All the time trying to put the blame on The USPS due to them being the one to deliver it in the end. I WILL NEVER USE FEDEX AGAIN. ALSO WILL REFUSE TO DO BUSINESS WITH ANYONE THAT USES THEM.
