    When is it ever okay to leave someone's debit card under their doormat in an apartment complex?! For 4 days, it has sat there, available for anyone to take because the driver felt it was acceptable to leave it there without a note or ANY indication that it had been delivered there in the first place!!! Driver needs to be fired!!! Will NEVER use FEDEX again and will make sure that USAA never uses them either!

    I placed a package for shipment on Monday (10/26) at 3 PM for guaranteed ground delivery by 11:59 Wednesday night. I just called and tracked it. VM said it will be delivered Friday!! How can they miss a delivery date not by 24 hours but 48 hours?? This just cost me $190! One day late? But really, 2 days??

    Paid extra to overnight package and deliver by 12 noon the next day, and at 5 p.m. I was still trying to find my package. I called FedEx 3 times with no real results. At 1:50 p.m. they called to tell me the driver would be here in 45 minutes, and at 5 p.m. he still has not arrived. The best part is they don't refund you the extra money paid for faster delivery.

    I was supposed to get my laptop in a package sent by FedEx Express. In the first attempt it was delivered at a wrong address and then when I called the customer support they told me it has been received by someone and they can't do anything. After multiple request they opened a case for me. I was told "you will receive a call within 2 hrs," which I never received. I used to connect to my laptop for my work and due to their worst service I am losing my work. And the customer support is not helping at all but just giving me false hopes. When I ask if I can submit a claim or can I talk to higher management, then they disconnect the phone. I am so scared to use this service which commit such a blunder and then don't even apologize or work on their mistakes. Till now I haven't received my package and I think now only god knows if I will receive it!!

    Don't know what is wrong with FedEx. I used to admire this company because of its name and brand but I used them twice and both the time got bad experience. This time I sent documents to India with their Guaranteed delivery date and paid 83$ because these were important documents and need to reach home ASAP but still they missed them in the way. It took them 4 days to even find the whereabouts of the document and found out that they sent the documents to Ireland instead of India. It seems for them all countries are same as long as name starts with "I". Don't know how their logistics work. They charge extra just to fool people. Still waiting to get my documents but I swore not to use them again. They consistently keep 100% track record of giving me hard time.

    I ordered a large amount of coffee from Keurig. It was scheduled to be delivered on Saturday 10/24/15 to my work address - which happens to be a hotel, obviously open 24/7. However, when I was going in on Sunday to pick up my order, I checked the tracking and found the following message: "Customer Not Available or Business Closed" and time of delivery 10:48 a.m. YEP... Apparently we are the only hotel in the world that is closed on a Saturday morning! We have both valet service and our front desk staff, again, all are 24/7. Obviously the lazy driver decided it was too much hassle to both dropping off the box. I called FedEx and some woman tried to blame it on Keurig saying they use "home delivery". And although I had a business address, it cannot now be delivered until Tuesday as "home delivery" isn't available on Monday. YAY for FedEx. Find some other shipper if you really want to get your package on time!

    Driver made no attempt to deliver the package - just left a note at 9pm. I'm sitting about 15 feet away from the door with 3 dogs, so I can be certain they didn't knock or ring. Now it's a 3-day wait before they try again. Useless. Vastly different to my experience with UPS who are on time, every time.

    Today waiting for my FedEx delivery. They suck as a company I will never use them again! They expected me to bring a 130 lb box upstairs, and stated that in an apartment complex leaving my package outside is my front door!? My apartment door is my front door. SMH and I'm 8 months pregnant I had after struggling on the phone for my entire day to realize nothing will be done about it, open the box outside and carry in the platform one piece at a time. Terrible customer service. Never again.

    P.S. No matter how many different ways you try to tell me, there's no way you can convince me that leaving a package in front of the door of a apartment complex is the same as leaving it at my front door. Something I paid money for shouldn't be left outside for someone to potentially take or be damaged. Again terrible customer service down to the call center and management! At least in Connecticut.

    I run a business and obviously need my shipments as soon as possible. What makes a courier service great is when they deliver EARLY. I saw that it was on vehicle for delivery and saw the FedEx truck deliver to my NEIGHBORS. They held the package for two days just because they didn't want to deliver it early. Total **. Never am I ever using FedEx again. You shouldn't either.

    2nd day to wait for delivery. Left a note on their form from previous day that the doorbell was broken and to come to the backdoor. Checked and saw that my note was gone and they had marked that they had attempted again. Called support & was told if I wanted my delivery today that I need to wait on my porch. I said "you mean you expect me to wait on my porch in the rain for who knows how long before my package might arrive today?" She said "if you want your package today, then yes!" Absolutely not acceptable considering the price I paid to have this packaged shipped.

    I am still at a loss as to why anyone uses FedEx or how they stay in business for that matter. I am sitting at home waiting for delivery for a package which requires my signature. I received a recording saying the package would be out today. I called the center and received another message that says it will be out today. I waited to speak to a human who says there's no guarantee it will be out today and that scheduled delivery is actually tomorrow. He further states this package cannot be delivered to one of their facilities where I can go pick it up. I understand that as a recipient of a package I am an insignificant and unwilling bystander but this does not appear to be an ethical or professional way to conduct business.

    I am writing this review/complaint in hopes that retailers will consider options other than FedEx for shipping. I try to verify which carrier a given retailer uses and I avoid patronizing retailers that use FedEx. In this case the value outweighed the inconvenience. At least with all this time on my hands I was able to do something constructive and write this review. I guess I will go wash my dogs and change the oil on my cars. Tomorrow while I am waiting I will...

    We are suppose to get one consignment vide airway bill no. ** booked from eBay on 18 October. We were provided one link to track the shipment. On 21 it was showing on transit and by evening it was showing delivery except, future delivery requested. Next day it was a holiday (Dussehra). My wife contacted their customer care center and was told that the shipment will be delivered by the same day (23 Oct). After constantly tracking the shipment, in the evening I received a message - Customer not Available or Business Closed. The fact is that my wife and kids were at home throughout the day and there was no attempt made or phone call received the same day.

    The status seems to be updated as per the convenience of their staff. It does not show the actual reasons. My 6 year old kid who is suppose to get 4 rechargeable batteries, is anxiously waiting for three days. It is not the delay but their cooked up delivery system is greatly disappointing. The complaint number of the consignment status is ** (dt 23 Oct at 20.55). FedEx seems to be known worldwide.

    I fail to understand that you give to FedEx two bags in Dothan, Alabama to ship to Chicago. Both bags are scanned. Three days later one bag shows up and the other has not. In calling FedEx they state: Well the bags was scanned in Dothan but we do not know anything else. What color is it, does it have a name on it..... and all relative information. But my point is the consumer now pays more in insurance than the actual cost of shipping a bag. If you give someone a box - and it does not arrive via all the scans the consumer literally loses thousands since a piece of luggage is $500 itself, and then add the clothes..... I might as well leave a bag on the side of the road and ask for someone to deliver it to me.

    FedEx delivered a package from Italy and only made one attempt to deliver it. They had the wrong phone number from the shipper, so I did not receive any calls, and they subsequently sent it to a holding facility 10 minutes from my house. I tracked down the package and was told that it would cost $36 for them to ship from the holding facility to my house. The 19lb package was delivered the next day, although I never was told that it would be overnighted, just that it would cost $36. I looked at my bank statement and noticed they charged me $227. When I called a representative, she said they had nothing mentioned about the $36 fee and that because it was overnighted, it was my responsibility to pay $227. Why ever would i agree to $227 when I could have picked it up myself. They are complete thieves. This is more than it cost to ship from Italy. I am beyond livid and will never use FedEx again.

    I recently ordered a bicycle online, and tracked it through FedEx. The day it was supposed to arrive my husband was home all day. At the end of the day the tracker updated and said the bike had been delivered and dropped off at door, only we never received it. We contacted FedEx who told us they would have to do a 48hr investigation and that they would contact us at the end of the second day. We didn't hear from them so we called the next morning only to have them tell us that they would call by the end of the day, which they did to tell us that they are no longer looking into the situation and closing the investigation as a lost package, that we would have to get with the company who sold us the bike and have them send a complaint to FedEx.

    We tracked that bike all the way to FedEx, aren't they then responsible from there with merchandise? The holidays are coming and if this is how they are running things at their company, then we need to worry about all the kids "lost" toys. Am I right in thinking that FedEx has a responsibility to reimburse the customer for the lost item? Any thoughts you have would really be appreciated. If anything, I just don't want this to happen to anyone else especially during the holidays. Thank you.

    I paid FedEx to package and ship an item I sold on eBay, and they are denying due to lack of packaging. I even went and got a signed letter from the manager of the store that packed it with their own FedEx letterhead and they have now attempted to ask for more information that I already supplied. No idea who I have to talk to in order to fix this problem. I paid for insurance, but apparently that means nothing. You might be saying to yourself, "Well there has to be something he is not telling us," and you would be wrong. I did everything by the numbers, and I even sent them a copy of their packaging pledge and still I get this. I highly recommend not using them. If package and ship for anything of any value and if it is valuable don't throw your money away by paying for insurance that they will never own up to.

    I expected to get a package today. However, it was not delivered. It was the second attempt to deliver the package. I had requested the package to be dropped off at a FedEx location to avoid missing another attempt. I called FedEx to see why the package was not at the FedEx location. The representative told me that it is at a ground warehouse and I can't pick it up there. I did not know that it takes three attempts until the package is held at a FedEx location. He didn't tell me that until later in the conversation. If I would had known earlier, it would had avoided the dissatisfaction of the call. He also said that I couldn't be heard in the phone. There are not any sounds coming from my end. Other people are able to hear me on phone calls. Towards the end of the call, I can hear his tone change. Therefore, it left both parties unhappy. All I wanted was my package and any relevant information.

    I had some materials shipped to a worksite in CA. They did not arrive the day that was stated and shown on all their emails to me. I tracked the items and in their tracking it was shown that a new date for delivery was requested for three weeks later - this was a lie. I asked them about this and they admitted they had an issue which held up the items and when they put it in the computer they mis-typed the date. They stated the package would be delivered the next day between 12 am and 2 pm. The package again did not show. The customer service is awful and will say anything to get you off the phone. The shipping department puts in changes that are not requested just to hide their screw ups. Terrible company.

    I was expecting an envelope to be delivered on October 6. When it didn't arrive, I became concerned, and saw via FedEx tracking that it had been delivered on October 7. Problem is, the envelope was just not there at my front door. I assumed that it had been stolen, and so initiated a FedEx investigation. Their investigation confirmed that it had indeed been delivered to my address. Guess what? It had been delivered by mistake to my neighbor's house, a neighbor who never really uses his front door. So I called FedEx to report this, and they insist that it was delivered to my (the correct) address. I told them they were wrong. They kept insisting it was delivered to the right address. That's why this is bizarre – I kept telling them it went to the wrong house, they kept saying that it didn't. How the heck would they know?? Guess the customer is not only wrong, he also doesn't participate in the FedEx alternate universe.

    Fedex has lied to me several times about a delivery. They said they couldn't deliver because my gate was closed but would deliver the next day between 4:30 and 5: 30. I have been very sick recovering from major surgery and was so upset by the constant lies that I almost wound up back to hospital when I just got out after a month of recovery. They are making me sicker and setting me back.

    Today I postponed doing a major medical procedure that could kill me if I don't get it done. I opened my gate and locked up my dog. When it got to be 5:30 and no package, I called them which in itself is very difficult because of their impossible automated answering services. They first lied and said I had no packages to be delivered. When I insisted, they said on, "The packages were left in your garage between 2 and 3". That was not what they agreed to do. They said they would deliver it to my door. So they said they would be here in an hour to bring the packages from my garage to my front door. I waited more than an hour and went through the same upsetting process again. This time I was lied to again and the packages didn't come and the driver did not come back.

    So again I called and went through the same annoying process and another agent lied to me and said there was no delivery. I asked to talk to a supervisor and someone named "Billy" (no last names give, but he did give me a location ID of SALRC. Refused to email me a confirmation of our conversation or his promise to have my packages delivered to my door tomorrow. I really don't think they will do it. I still have not done my medical procedure and it is getting crucial. So at this point I don't care if I get the packages or not. Even UPS delivered today when they said they would and on time. Fedexcuses and lies should be ashamed. I know there are lots of people who are upset by Fedexcuses and I will just be one of many.

They not only did not deliver it as promised and paid for, they also did not notify of delivery being an issue. The items are for a time sensitive event so they are of no use to me being delivered on Monday. I am pushing for a full refund either from FedEx or Amazon.

But not FedEx Ground. But Nooo, FedEx Ground won't be bothered or just doesn't care.

    Today I was expecting a package to be delivered. I was home ALL DAY waiting for the package. No one knocked on my door, no slip was left on my door, yet according to tracking info FedEx claims this package was delivered to my front door. I was anxious (and in desperate need) for the arrival of the package. I constantly opened my front door all day to just check to see if my package was here. I have looked outside both doors so many times today my neighbor probably think I'm insane.

    I contacted FedEx. They gave me a Case ID number. They said someone should call me by the next business day (tomorrow). That is all well and good except that I am a chronic pain patient due to spinal disease. The item I ordered was to assist in relieving some pain & help me sleep. NO, IT IS NOT MEDICATION.

    This has been a CONSISTENT problem with FedEx for over a year now. Every time I order something and FedEx is the delivery company (something I have no control over) items either NEVER arrive or the tracking info says the item was delivered on this day when in fact the item will take several more days to arrive. The last time this happened and I made a complaint the tracking info said "item was delivered on the dock". I live nowhere near any area that we would have a "dock". I live in a single story home on a normal residential street.

    I have had it with FedEx in every single way. This is very unprofessional. Companies are certainly receiving constant complaints about packages not being delivered by FedEx. Services are NOT being rendered. Packages just go missing randomly? Packages are delivered, yet mysteriously are invisible or there is a mistake consistently in delivery/tracking information?

    If this was an isolated incident I would be understanding. However, the fact that as a chronic pain patient it is easier for me to order items to be delivered to my home due to difficulty walking and never receiving a single item shipped by FedEx on time or sometimes not at all is beyond a minor problem. This is a MAJOR ISSUE with this company. My street sign is clearly visible. My house number is clearly visible on my mailbox and on my house by the front door.

    When I receive a package delivered by UPS if they say it has been delivered, then it has been delivered! I can set my clock to UPS delivery times. If the USPS says an item has been delivered then it has been delivered! I wish every company would just stop using FedEx for their parcel deliveries and let the professionals at UPS handle it.

    I had ordered some chocolate candy from a company in Grapevine, Texas, which is 4 1/2 to 5 hours from my home. The company sent the package FedEx ground and when I got home, I found the package at the end of our driveway, right by the street where all traffic drives by and people walk by, out in the HOT sun... Luckily, I did not work this day and was able to come home a few hours after it was delivered because it was in the HOT SUN, close to melting... Even the ice bags that were enclosed were ALL melted. If it had not been for the good packaging the company used and me getting home a couple of hours after delivery, it would have been completely ruined.

    This is not the first time I have had trouble with FedEx... One year, a package was supposed to be delivered to my work address; the package was left downstairs (I worked in a building on the 11th floor)... Since no one claimed it, it was sent back and my daughter did not get her Christmas present. When I called the company to send it back to me and gave them a different address, they were sold out of the merchandise that I had purchased for my daughter. Needless to say, I am very dissatisfied with FEDEX... They leave anything anywhere without consideration... I do not like FedEx.

    Had a package coming, wouldn't be home for delivery, "signed" online to have it left at door without a signature, got confirmation for this and printed it out. Package wasn't left, a door tag saying "signature required" was. Called Fedex, a nice rep spoke with me, said she'd ask driver to come back with package that same day and that someone would call me in 2 hours to update me. No one called, driver didn't return. Called Fedex again, was told that the local Fedex depot never got that request. Liars. Instant communication and they "didn't get it."

    Filed complaint with Fedex, got a reply 10 days later from someone who assured me that my experience with Fedex wasn't typical. It sure as hell IS, this has happened before. In another instance, I stayed home for a delivery so that I COULD sign for the package, and guess what? Fedex came, left it on our front steps, and didn't ring the bell. I found it hours later, after waiting around all day TO sign for it. Poor communication, no communication, miscommunication = Fedex!

    Refers TRK NO **, Ship date 10/09/2015, CTRL# **. It was a very urgent material and we followed-up day in & day out for this consignment through countless emails and calls. Normally a courier company delivers within 2-3 days to our location. First, they provided us a false POD copy of this consignment but when we rejected it and communicated that we've not received it, they started investigating the case. Now after 23 days they've refused to deliver it while the package is lying in their office. I've not seen such a fraud and irresponsible behavior from any professional company.

    Right - ordered a item from a third-party seller on Amazon. FedEx said they would deliver it today (10/2/2015). Great, I thought, I have to be home all day anyway. The Condo was checking Dryer vents. In fact the management showed up around 12:40ish to check them. During their visit my door was left wide open. The vents were clean.

    So I waited some more. Ordered pizza. The pizza delivery guy shows up and while paying him I notice a notice on my door. No. you have got to be kidding me? The driver had left his number on the note (one for their office in Woodbridge) and I called him. I could not understand a word he was saying at first and, to my shame, I did demand he speak English. He was speaking English, but at a high-rate, like a machine gun, which does not work well when both parties have cell phones. He said he had knocked and that he was no longer in the area. But was willing to meet me somewhere to deliver the package to me. I asked if he would deliver the package and he said he could try again on the weekend. I wasn't going to be here on the weekend and called the 800 number. It seems, as I waited for a live operator, that the computer alerted me to the fact that the driver had tried to deliver the package at 12:44... Really?

    I finally got somebody real but she could not help me. She could send the deliver a request to redeliver but not get a reply - the drivers were contractors and there was no system set up for two-way communication. I called again just now, around 5:20 and another operator said, no, he had not heard any reply yet but that the driver had till 9:30 PM to deliver the package. So here I wait. I assume if it is not delivered before nightfall I should just tell them to forget and tell the seller that FedEx refused to deliver the package. NOT couldn't, but wouldn't. Woodbridge and Alexandria are not that far away from each other. I had problems with UPS but I can't say that they were this... Lazy.

    We are out of town and were notified by FedEx via email our delivery was made. Our son came to our house, no package on the porch so he check neighbor's porches, no package. We live in a private gated area with 70 homes. Called our neighbors to check our porch later in the day, no package. Called FedEx and they opened a case number and said they would call us back by noon the next day and they certainly did call and asked us, "Did it turn up yet?" Called the Guard gate a day later, he informed me the FedEx truck had just came in and the driver informed him he left the package at the wrong house. Had a neighbor run over and sure enough it was on the front porch. Very suspicious to me. Very stressful being thousands of miles away trying to find out what happened. Disappointed in FedEx!!!

    Don't waste your time if you have a damage package. In my case, I did put close to 8 pounds of protection inside the box and signs all around the box. Were two boxes. One of them came damage. I call them to filing a claim so they told me they will send someone to inspect the box. I was never told to put it back the same way it was. After 10 days they send me a letter saying that the claim was decline 'cause the package was not well prepared. It doesn't matter what you do. They always will find a way to not pay you.

    There are thieves in this company and an internal investigation should be done to ensure the safety of the customers that utilize this service. I mailed a package over a month ago (paid $80 for overnight). Package did not make it next day. Upset but not angry I gave it another day (no show). Called customer service and receive info that so called weather conditions and that it would be at the address in day or two (mind you I paid for next day and was not offered that reimbursement). Meanwhile week later I called and suddenly package can't be found so they asked me did I want to put in a claim. "Um no I want my package found please," I explained.

    Through persistence the package was located HOWEVER... (over a month later) I still have not received my mail. Reason being it was CASH wrapped as a surprise gift to my mom for her new car, (not enough to be illegal, but enough to be highly upset about). SOMEONE at FedEx opened that package (FOR WHAT REASON WHO KNOWS) and discovered the money and was attempting to keep it, but my failing to leave the matter alone, by continuing to call and complain they claim to have found it and turn it over to state police. "For what?" I asked. Nobody could give me a solid answer. Now I had to hire a lawyer to retrieve my money, and to this date I STILL AM WAITING (almost 2 months now). I will NEVER use nor recommend this company to anybody. I've been a FedEx customer for many years now, but GOOD RIDDANCE!!!

The customer care said that the package is on its way and later I was informed that since it's already 8:00 PM it may not be delivered and rescheduled for delivery the next day. But, internally they decided to have it delivered now on 03 Oct 2015 and stated that it was as per my confirmation when that was never made. After multiple calls and request asked them to deliver today (30 Sep) before 6:00 PM and they did promise that it will be delivered yet again no response. When asked for a contact, all that is being indicated is that it cannot be shared. Please do not trust FedEx, they say something and do something.

    I was moving from NJ to Florida, so I shipped my tv via FedEx. Worst decision ever! My tv arrived a day later than scheduled in a damaged box so I asked the delivery driver if it was ok because it did not look like that when I shipped it, so he said "oh, it didn't " then left. Moving along, I bring it in the house and proceed to open it, as I remove the blankets and bubble wrap I used to pack it, I noticed the screen was hanging forward and broken. It looked like someone beat it with a bat and drove over it with the truck.

    The box stated "flat panel tv kit, fragile" in huge bold letters on the outsides of the box. The tv was also protected with 8 point protection foam and plastic wrap. I contacted FedEx and opened a claim because I had insured my tv. The claims representative requested pictures of my tv and the box and what I used to package it, so per her request, I provided them. I had made it clear in my photo attachments that I had thrown away the bubble wrap because I cut it off the tv and wasn't expecting to see what I had saw.

    After a month, I didn't hear anything and contacted them to find out the status of my claim and I was told they were continuing with the claim. A week later I received a letter stating they denied my claim because I didn't package it properly. Yes I did! My package wasn't handled properly, otherwise the box too would not have been damaged the way it was. Also, the driver lied and said that he had multiple delivery attempts which was not true and apparently they get paid more every time they have to re deliver things.

    And so they charged me about 3 times what I was quoted. So not only was my tv completely damaged by a neglectful delivery team, I was also targeted and a victim of fraud. Good thing I paid attention to the tracking and was able to dispute the charges but that still doesn't take care of what they did to my tv or my experience. I find it breath taking that such a well known company can treat customers this way and get away with it.

    I pre-ordered an Apple iPhone a week or more ago after a year of really wanting the new iPhone 6 plus. Well, my current phone decided that it wanted to stop functioning and I ran out of storage. So finally I broke down and decided to splurge on myself for my birthday. I bought the Iphone6S plus (Just an FYI I was beyond excited and still am.) This is the most expensive thing I've bought in about 2 years. But now the problem comes with the delivery, which is by no means Apple's fault. UPS is kind enough to deliver when people are home (surprise, surprise, I have a day job like the majority of people) and they know I can't get out of work just to sit at home and wait on a package. This is why I LOVE UPS. Well unfortunately, this isn't the company used to deliver my much-anticipated phone.

    FedEx is the company they used. FedEx came at 12:45 while I was at work. When I got home I immediately called the FedEx helpline, because they left a note on my door. On the first call a foreign man whose English could use some improvement answered and I hung up on him after repeatedly trying to understand him and communicate what I needed. Now the man was nice and from what I could make out he really was trying to help but the communication barrier was too much for either of us. I called a second time and after an arduous argument with an automated system I FINALLY got someone with competent English (and by this time I was crying, I will admit that). The lady was very nice and sincere in her apology and by her level of competence in calming down a distraught and upset customer she's had to do it a lot.

    I really felt bad for crying on her, but the level of disappointment and the amount of obstacles I went through to find someone to talk to had me frazzled. But I begged her to find out if the FedEx driver was still in town, I would willingly meet him on his route just to get my phone, but alas he had already left with my phone and the only way I could get it is if I drove 1 hour on my birthday to go pick it up from the FedEx holding cell where they had it or, because they don't deliver on weekends, wait until Monday AND use up some vacation time so I could be there to sign for it. Yeah, happy birthday to me because they don't deliver on the weekends and now I have to take time off from my job to wait at my house wasting my vacation hours just to meet the man at the door at whatever ungodly hour he decides to deliver it. I plan to be awake and at the end of my driveway to meet him. I don't even want his truck to be seen in my yard that is how upset I am.

    And I'm a very nice person, I work in customer service and I'm extremely flexible but the hoops and annoyance I went through has made me very bitter about the experience. I'm sorry to be one of "those people" but after this nonsense is over on Monday, I will in all honesty not give any other business to FedEx and I plan to hold to that. I can't afford to sit at home and wait on a delivery because they want to come to my house at 12:45. No. I will let my beloved UPS man handle my needs, at least their delivery route lets me be home to greet him and I always get a competent English speaker on the first call. And I realize that they won't leave a phone sitting on someone's doorstep, but if you know it's one of those packages why would you go at 12:45? Why not 3 or 4 or 5 when normal people are home?

    And I'm not angry at Apple or the driver or the man whose English makes my head hurt or the really nice lady who helped me stop squalling on the phone, but at the fact that FedEx doesn't plan better. You have a package, containing something very important to someone, that needs to be signed for because it's expensive and delicate and very much anticipated and you choose to deliver it at a time when most people are at work. On a Friday no less. You know that person is unlikely to be home and you know you don't deliver on weekends and that your nearest storage facility is an hour away. Planning makes a difference. Common sense plays a role too. And breaking someone's heart a day before their birthday loses you business and the business of anyone that she has influence over.

    And believe me, I cried talking to my mom, my best friend, and a cousin. All of whom had similar bad experiences with FedEx and all vowed they'd never again trust them with their packages because of it. And yes a phone is a stupid thing to be upset over but it was my one thing that I had wanted, I saved for it and planned for it and was looking forward to meeting the package delivery guy at the door to get it. And yes even the UPS delivery man heard me crying because he delivered two packages to me that day and asked why my eyes were red. That is how upset I was. I will, on my life, never allow a package to be shipped to me via FedEx. I will pay penalty fee's, extra shipping or I'll just go without.

    On Arrival the driver said these papers are incorrect. They were not. He rejected by throwing them on the floor. He left. Tried again the next day. Same papers no difference. He took the parcels after some altercation. The parcels arrived at the destination to my amazement, as he had said "I will take them and they will sit in our office for 4 days and then they will be sent back to you." They were not! Next thing I heard, was that I was BANNED from FEDEX forever. Saves me time and explanations as I was NEVER going to use them EVER AGAIN anyway.

    So I was in search of a new laptop for my daughter. I found one on eBay from a top seller and a great price. So, I paid for it and they shipped it out promptly, using FedEx. A few nights go by, and my daughter (who is only 4) was asking about her new laptop, which she was so excited to get, I told her it was going to be here in the morning, as I knew it had to of been here by then. So, just to be sure, I got onto my eBay account and checked the tracking of the laptop. "Delivered" it said, "left at front door" at around noon, earlier that day.

    I panicked for a second, knowing that I was home all day, I had gotten the mail around 11 am and UPS brought packages between 1&2 pm. (I work from home, so I receive many packages.) So I immediately went outside my front door and looked everywhere, the bushes, down the steps, inside my front door, the back door, and nothing, no package. This laptop was a 15.6" laptop, it could not have been missed. So I did what most mothers would do in this situation... I cried! I was so upset for my daughter, she had been looking forward to getting her new laptop, and I was afraid I'd have to tell her that it was not coming now.

    So I get onto the FedEx website and file a claim, and I let the eBay seller know, he also did the same. I had my husband call FedEx the next morning and they said they would get to the bottom of it. Later that day, the driver came to my door, claiming he had left the package there. I get packages to my house all day everyday! I live in a nice area with nice neighbors, never had an issue before EVER, now I order a laptop and it's just GONE?? BS!

    The shipping label had the name of the pawnshop on it called "Cash Inn" so I'm sure "SOMEONE" saw the label and decided to keep it for themselves. I was home that day, I work in my kitchen which is only a few feet from my front door, I got packages at 2 other times that day, before and after the laptop had said it was delivered, and yet it just disappeared, right? The ground suddenly opened up and swallowed the package, yeah ok. So after a few days of them saying they'd figure it out, I get a notice saying the investigation was closed, and well I was out $150 and my daughter was out a laptop. Never heard from them again and never saw the laptop. I will never use FedEx again if I can help it, bunch of crooks!

    I had a 21 package business consignment shipped from abroad, paid with insurance cover by the express service. Several days later, 2 arrive late and one is lost. I reported this, however they made me a run around for about 6 weeks, never calling me back or even emailing me as promised. In the end, nearly 6 or 7 weeks later without telling me anything. It arrived repackaged by them with the box clearly labelled by them as "damaged in handling by FedEx". The original box was also in the packaging so I could see what had happened. Clearly the original box was badly torn from bad handling (it was an official USPS strong parcels box). The item inside was severely damaged in a way that could only have been done with very bad handling. As the metal chassis was actual distorted so badly I could not even get it back in place by force.

    At first they told me they would grant a claim, but then made me wait even more weeks, and eventually came back and said another department denied the claim and they can’t help. When queried they said they tried to fob me off by saying packaging was inadequate, even though even a simple minded person can see clearly that this nature of damage has nothing to do with packaging, as it was so badly damaged. It’s so obvious the FedEx team had tried hide the item, as it had been so badly damaged, and so it was lost initially, but after my chasing it up and complaining, they mysteriously found and delivered it, and then within the company tried to cover it up under an agreed story of bad packaging.

    I always thought FedEx was meant to be one of the best, professional and trusted global couriers. Believe me, you do not want to risk having to deal with them in the event of an issue or problem. To further underline this, they are refusing to even provide me with the customs invoice, that I need to claim back the tax from the government on it. Even the customs government department could not believe how badly FedEx was behaving.

    FedEx never delivered a Christmas present (a hand knitted blanket) for my son and his family last year. Your FedEx ground delivery person admitted that he did not recognize their home as the address he delivered the package. My daughter-in-law said when he made that statement his supervisor could be heard yelling at him over the phone. After that visit FedEx changed their story saying that the box WAS delivered to the correct address as promised. We all know the blanket was never delivered. My son’s wife stays at home all day caring for her three children. They have two dogs that bark if anyone approaches. She is sure that no package was delivered. The blanket cannot be reordered because every stitch was hand knitted to become a king size comforter (8.5 x 8). It took me four months knitting every day for me to complete. My arthritis keeps me from making another. It was to be a keepsake for my son's family.

    I realize FedEx is trying to cut corners but to not bother delivering packages to the proper address is really hitting bottom. Your company reiterated “reorder the item” like that has become the standard slogan for the way FedEx now does things. But, as in my case, what if you cannot reorder. Consumers should be warned not to trust FedEx with their irreplaceable items. I thought about taking this matter up with the small claims court but just don’t have the energy. FedEx should know, however, that their business practices do cause harm.

    I have a shipping account that I created online and my brother was shipping some boxes to me from South Florida to Chicago. I provided him my account number for the transaction. He went to his local FedEx and filled out a 2 day shipper and then called me to ask how I wanted it sent. I told him to send it ground. He then told the FedEx person that he needed to have it shipped Ground and that the slip needed to be changed. The FedEx person said, "no problem, I will change it before I send it out."

    My brother took his word for it but it was shipped out as 2 day and I received a very hefty charge. After telling my brother that this is what happened, he went back to FedEx and asked what the problem was. FedEx said that he forgot. He further told my brother to tell me to call FedEx and ask for a refund and then to call his store and he would charge me via Pack and Ship. That did not sound right to me but I called. I was told that it was a valid shipment because of the slip that was provided. I explained the entire situation and she basically yelled at me for asking. So now they have stolen from me and then yelled at me for it. What kind of business is this. Do not use or trust FedEx, they will steal from you as well. They are all about money without customer service.

    Out of the last six packages I have shipped with FedEx only two have been received. Once again a package I have ordered has been lost in the warehouse or is still traveling around their system not to be located for months. This company really needs to do something about getting their product delivered and work on their customer service program. Their explanation was to say the company I order from used recycled boxes and it wasn't their fault if was lost. Not sure how the rest of you feel, but from now on I am going to ask for alternative shipping method and try not to use FedEx ever again.

    FedEx delivered my packages to the wrong address. When I didn't receive my packages a week after the due date I knew something was wrong. I filed a claim. They wrote me back denying my claim saying it was delivered to the correct address. 2 days before receiving the letter a pastor from a nearby church returned my package.... I didn't even receive an apology from them. Needless to say I will NEVER use them again! And as a result of their carelessness I paid out over a hundred dollars to ship yearbooks that I could have given out at our graduation had they been delivered correctly!

    I received a door tag on 9/4/15 station 0104 with my name on it but once I called them to tell them I was home all day, the representative informed me the door tag number didn't belong to me, regardless it had my first initial and apartment number on it but I did have a package for delivery. On 9/8/15 my husband found a door tag in front of the building station number 3106. I was upset because I was home all day and no one rang my bell. I even asked the super to ring my bell to verify it's working and it was. This situation is ridiculous. It's not the first time it has happened. Before I had my medication not delivered twice in a row with me being in my residence and my medication had to be sent back to the pharmacy due that they were exposed a long time to the heat and they require to be in the refrigerator within a time frame.

    I have a package being delivered. The first delivery, they damaged the package and it had to be returned to the shipper. The 2nd has been a whole OTHER disaster. There has to be someone available to sign for said package. Will they leave it at the apartment office? Of course not! So I PAID FOR evening delivery on this package. So far, they "attempted" delivery Saturday sometime in the afternoon, I was home and NO ONE KNOCKED on the door... How am I to answer the door when you don't know? Then, after I sent my complaint directly to FedEx, and paid for evening delivery, they attempted delivery on Monday. Before 5 which is when I get home and whole reason I requested evening delivery.

    Next, they did the same on Tuesday. So I finally get a response from customer service telling me my tracking number was wrong. I copied and pasted it again and sent it back. Then they want my phone number. Yesterday, they tried to deliver again before 5. TODAY they tried to deliver before 5. I sent my phone number, even though I don't really know why they need it. To make matters worse, when I pull up the tracking on the package, it says right there, on the page, that I paid for evening delivery. I'm so mad I could spit! So now, on top of already paying for evening delivery, which I did not get, I have to waste even more of my time going to pick the package up. This is ridiculous. Is it really that hard to follow simple instructions?

    Never Fails!! Every time I get an item delivered by FedEx, the item never gets delivered to my doorstep or if a signature is required, I never get a knock at the door. When I moved to my current address about two years ago, I ensured that the drivers had the gate code since my place is a gated community. I called the main office at FedEx and complained about this issue with a solution, I gave them the gate code. I was told by the FedEx representative that the delivery trucks would have the gate code in record. Don't know what this meant but, seems like I told them not to deliver items at this household!

    Just yesterday 28 August 2015, I had an item to be delivered by FedEx. Was I worried as always that my items wouldn't be delivered to my doorstep. I was home all day and constantly checking the FedEx shipment tracking online. I did not want to miss the shipment, so I check it again and to find out at 12:52 pm it states on FedEx website shipment tracking "Delivery exception, Customer not available or business closed" REALLY!!! I WAS HOME ALL DAY WAITING!!!

    So I immediately called FedEx to schedule a pick up at the store that same day (Remember this was an automated voice recording that I was talking to over the phone). When I walked into the store around 6:00 pm, I told the young lady that I was there to pick up a delivery that I had scheduled to pick up today. She claimed that it takes a day to get the delivery checked in their records. I was PISSED!!! I told her this is not true, "Every time I've rescheduled a pickup at a different store, my items was there and ready for me to pick up!" The young lady asked me, "They didn't tell you that it take about a day?" There is either lazy personnel or incompetence this needs to be rectified. I pay for a delivery service and end up going out of my way to pick up a delivery at the FedEx store. It's Saturday 8:84 am and going to FedEx now to see if my item is there and ready to be delivered.

    I will never use FedEx again. Not necessarily for the staff working there, but for the shoddy online system they have to ship a package. I thought it would be easy to ship one 18x18x16 box full of my things home after moving across the country. I made an account online and started the shipping process of creating a shipment online. Right from the get go the system was horrible. If I filled out something wrong on the shipping page, it highlighted in red and I had to attend to it. The only problem was it set all the other sections of the shipping page (time for pick up, box size, box weight) to the default, and for some reason took the city and province away from my shipping address. Not a problem, filled everything in and double checked before hitting submit so I wouldn't be left with any red areas. I then got a shipping sheet to attach to my package.

    The only problem was I did not have a printer attached to the computer I was on so I would have to print it later on a different computer. When I called customer service they told me I could not email or save the shipping sheet in any way. After clicking around the website for a while they also told me that I had to be on the shipping sheet page to have access to my receipt, and once I left the page the receipt was gone. They had told me to leave the page BEFORE letting me know I would lose my receipt. What a horrible system. Why can't I e-mail myself the shipping sheet and receipt? Sketchy. After that I was unable to find an area of the website that told me when my pickup would be. When I called back customer service I was told that my account "wasn't available" so they could not see my information. They also worried me because since they couldn't see my account they believed I didn't have one.

    Keep in mind I needed my package picked up the next day because I was leaving the province a few hours after pickup, forever. I asked them what to do. I supposedly didn't have an account, and I couldn't create a package shipping page the day of pickup. I got the answer "I’m sorry, there's nothing we can do." I repeatedly got the response "I’m sorry." Do you know how vulnerable I felt when the supposed experts on the phone just gave up? I went to bed angry and very stressed out. The following day (the day of supposed pickup) I called customer service again, hopefully to get someone else that did not leave feeling so horrible. I received better service in the morning, but again, the woman on the line could not access my account, and therefore could not verify all the information (shipping time, shipping sheet, etc.) that I was seeing on my end of the screen.

    She also told me that FedEx pickup drivers could not call the individual (me) upon arrival. Um... that is the only way I could let the driver into my building. That is the only way ANYONE could get into my building. The driver was set to pick up between 9 am-12 pm. I was not waiting in my lobby for 3 hours for him. I was then told that my pickup time was changed to 9 am-6 pm (Though they could not see my account? How does that make sense?). But at the time I just wanted my package out of my hands, and I was not going to wait in my lobby that whole time. I decided at this point to call up a friend and get her to bring my package into a FedEx store. I wasn't going to risk it. But I also inconvenienced her for something that should have been so simple. Once in the store, there were 3 people in line and one person working.

    I waited 20 minutes before literally handing her my package and sheet, getting an ok it's good to go with the shipping sheet and walking out. What a waste of my time. I asked the person working at the store about my "nonexistent" account, and she rudely replied that she had no idea. She just takes the package and the shipping page and that's it. It was my responsibility to make sure the package was legit. Not the company that was shipping it. Hmmm. If you don't read the long winded rant/vent above, please read this last section.

    All I wanted when I called in the first time for help was someone to walk me through the process, possibly helping me create a new account and entering the details in the shipping page for me. What I got was individuals who didn't care, and basically had no answers for my "nonexistent account" and information, and left it at that. Something so simple, took me 6 phone calls and 2 days to figure out. What a shoddy online system, and literally at the worst time possible where I was already stressed enough with the move. I will not be using them again.

My bells work, they either don't bother or are ringing the wrong bell - my apartment number and floor are written on all packages and they have it too.

Each time I speak to a supervisor, they take my info, but nothing seems to be corrected. I may be disabled of body but not mind. If this is happening to me how many others are going through the same thing? I used to write, please ring bell, give me time to answer and hand me the package adding a thank you.

Furthermore, I did sue them in small claims court and lost because their representative stated that there were supposedly three ways that my item could be delivered to ME and once again, I never received my blackberry.

She advised that the branch will call me back when they can confirm whether or not the driver could come back. I asked when I can expect a call and from who.

    I ordered a pool cleaner through Amazon on Sunday 8/9 with 2-day shipping, and should have received my package on Tuesday 8/11. Sure enough around 1:30 I get an email stating that my package was delivered and left on my front porch. Very excited to check out my new 'toy', I got home from work around 5:30 to find that - surprise! - there's no package. I checked with family members, who had been home all day, and confirmed there was no delivery. I thought maybe it was left on a neighbor's porch instead, so I went and looked on porches in the area and knocked on a few doors. No one around had received the package. I called FedEx customer support shortly thereafter to report the missing item, and was told that a case was opened and that I would receive a call back the next day (Wednesday).

    Of course this call never came so I called again Wednesday evening after getting home from work. This CSR told me that the previous CSR had opened the wrong kind of case and he was correcting it - and again I would be called the next day. Thursday came and went and nothing. Called again Thursday night, and then was told that they needed to contact dispatch, and that dispatch would call within 2 hours. Dispatch actually did call within the 2 hours - the only promise that was kept - and told me that they were investigating with the driver, to allow 48 hours, and that I would receive a follow-up call on Saturday. I doubted they would call on a Saturday but figured maybe it was possible. The weekend came and went and no call.

    I then received a follow-up call on Monday around 1:30 stating that the driver had just delivered the package and to contact the shipper if I had any further issues. Unfortunately I couldn't take the call at the time and this was left on a voice mail. Somehow, supposedly, the driver had magically found and delivered the missing package. Upon getting home Monday night there was, of course, no package to be found. I again called FedEx support and told them that I still had not received anything. The CSR went through the same initial set of questions that I had been asked a week prior and promised a 2-hour follow-up call from dispatch. Another call that never came.

    After getting home on Tuesday I called them yet again and was told that the investigation case was closed since the driver had delivered the package, and that I would need to contact Amazon from there on. No one ever offered any explanation as to what happened to the package, how it was suddenly found on Monday - almost a week later - or any suggestion as to how they would fix this issue. All I got from this experience with FedEx was a lot of promises not kept, ineptitude, and an overall attitude that I was basically bothering them with this investigation.

    After this I did contact Amazon and the issue was resolved in about 15 minutes time. The Amazon CSR listened to my complaint, apologized profusely for FedEx's lack of response, and promptly reordered the item for me at no charge. She also stressed that I should call them (Amazon) directly any time I had an issue with a package not being delivered. This was, for me, the first time I had to deal with this and I was none the wiser as to what to do. If there is a next time I will certainly go straight to Amazon. Kudos to them and their efficient and painless resolution.

    I'm sure Amazon has insurance that will pay for these kinds of mistakes, but it seems a shame that they need to replace items due to the utter lack of quality control and accountability from FedEx. What irks me most of all is that, in FedEx's system, there is no way to reach the dispatch team directly, and they and the drivers hide behind this fact. I suspect the driver that supposedly delivered my package has already listed the pool cleaner on eBay. Hopefully this is a lesson learned for the next person that is subjected to dealing with FedEx customer service. And hopefully UPS is delivering the replacement package that is en route!

    Do not use FedEx for any international shipment, they just suck. My shipment was stuck in customs, they never tried to contact me in a proper way. I finally contacted them after I found out my package didn't reach on time and provided the required information. Shipment was released but I needed to pay for some extra fees. I did online using the link they provided but I could not proof right away that I did as they didn't send me a receipt so they wouldn't deliver the box. What's the point of having an account with these idiots? Company has been doing business on a daily basis with this horrible organization and there is zero customer support. I am done using them... Bye bye FedEx.

    I was home the morning of 08/15, expecting the delivery of a package shipped overnight. I receive a text alert saying a delivery attempt was made. No one rung my bell, knocked on my door, or left a door tag. They lied. I called The FedEx phone number to get an explanation of what happened. The representative had to answer, but said they would send a message contacting the driver to get him to come back. I provided my cell and home phone numbers, as well as confirmed that the bell downstairs was working. I get a call from someone at the Bronx facility and he said the driver will be back before the end of the day. I explain that it is VERY important that the package gets delivered on that day by 2 pm. About 45 minutes later, I get another alert of an attempted delivery. Once again, no contact in any form was made.

    I call FedEx again to clarify what could have happened this time. The representative told me that the delivery person said one elevator was working and the other would not move. I still don't understand why I wasn't contacted to come downstairs. I could have figured out how to get the package back up, or declined. But, it ultimately would have been my choice. Once I explain this to the representative (who clearly is operating from a call center overseas), he replies that the delivery person came twice... and I can pick up my package from the facility (in the Bronx) after 3 pm. I live in Harlem. So after much frustration and thought, I put in a request to have the package sent to my local FedEx store, so I could rush out and pick it up. My request was never confirmed. Fast forward to Monday, and all of a sudden I get an alert saying the package is headed to the store. Why? It makes no sense now.

    I call FedEx AGAIN and ask them to have the package sent to my apartment. I explain the reason for me wanting it sent to the store, on Saturday, for me to run out and get it. The customer advocate department representative I spoke with kindly place me on hold and contacted the Bronx facility. She said it should be delivered at home. She also jotted down my ordeal and put in a complaint/investigation for me. I keep tracking the progress on the package, and suddenly I see that it was delivered to the store. How and why? Have you not tortured me enough with poor customer service and idiotic decision making? So I now have to rush home after work to pick up this package.

    I am appalled, disappointed, and surprised by the way this situation unfolded. Due to the laziness and inability to think critically as a representative of FedEx. I am the one paying for this person's decision to not do their job. If someone cannot or will not complete a simple task as making valid attempts to get in touch with a customer so they can get their package they SHOULD NOT be employed in a position it with it is their responsibility to do so. This infuriates me at the deepest level.

    Situation: Contacted FedEx about a misdelivery. I used the FedEx Delivery Manager to make sure the package was authorized to be left at my front door. I live in an apartment building so I would not know if the delivery person is there to request I pick up the package. The package was not delivered. This has happened multiple times and results in my package arriving way later or myself going to pick up the package. I pay for shipping and I just want my package to be delivered in a timely manner. I contacted customer service and asked to be reimbursed for the shipping costs because their drivers cannot deliver packages properly.

    I may be reimbursed for the shipping costs, but I highly doubt it. I followed up to see if the package could be delivered on Monday, 17 August 2015 and I was informed that FedEx only delivers to residences or homes Tuesday-Saturday. This is not true as in the past I have received FedEx packages on a Monday and I see FedEx vehicles in my area on Mondays. The representative I spoke to did not seem to understand why I was asking why they were closed on Monday.

    FedEx is a delivery company and they should be delivering on Mondays to homes. Poor excuse for a shipping and logistics company. I wonder what happened to them. I almost, ALMOST, prefer UPS over them. I am writing to the company which I ordered the package from to request they switch carriers. I will not be purchasing from companies that use FedEx unless I have to and I will not use FedEx to ship my personal items.

The guy put my sticker info to other packet, and mine disappeared. FedEx was not able to track, did not claim responsibility. Lost 1600€. Paid me back 50€ plus the 20€ of sending it. So people can steal valuable packets, and FedEx said it is not responsible out of 50€ max. So means any packet more than 50€ value, bye-bye. They told me they scan it and cannot what's inside, ergo, be stolen by employees.

    DISGUSTED! Utterly disgusted! Just so you know, I have posted my experience on social media for the very reason that I know if I complain to FedEx corporate I will be either silenced or simply told what I want to hear by a customer service rep! I have a fedex shipping account for my business. I had to overnight a package to a client so I went to my local fedex office to do so. I hand over the package, it is weighed and measured. To overnight $480.00. I collect my package and walk out. As a small businessman completely unaffordable!

    I contact my client and inform them that there is no way I can fedex the package and that I will need to find a cheaper way. The client asks me to go back to fedex and use their account number instead of mine. So I do that. I get back to fedex, I hand over the package and then weigh and measure it. The clerk then says to me "well this account is much better than yours" I say "really". He shows me the screen, $48.00! For the same distance overnight! I have to tell you I am disgusted. That is 1000% more that I am paying!! I don't care if he uses his account more than mine. Why should I (the small business man) supplement the rich man's expenses! I think this is a clear indication of what is wrong with this country at the moment. The wealthy receiving all the benefits and the not so wealthy getting Screwed over! I can understand a discount for using your facility more frequently, but 1000% is completely unacceptable.

    I will not be doing business with FedEx anymore, On principal! Your business model is WRONG. Corporate America abusing the system. I would not have known how badly if I was not able to compare my account with theirs. I would imagine most of your customers completely unaware! The straw that broke the camel's back: The package arrived on time but it was damaged! The contents - a "marine inflatable" wrapped in bubble wrap and then boxed! The box torn, the inflatable punctured! $500 value! Now I have to file a claim. Wasted time I simply do not have to spare.

Order then arrived and departed Hutchins, Tx on 8-10-2015. Hutchins is 50 miles from my location. Expected delivery was 8-13-2015, 3 days to go 50 miles. Today's date 8-13-2015, no package. Contacted Fedex and was told they have several stops to make within that 50-mile radius and 3-day time frame and most likely will not be delivered until the first part of next week, even though they did tell me transit time is typically 2-7 days, 8-13-2015 was the 7th day. First part of next week will make 11-13 days. Since I complained to Fedex now when I look up the tracking # now it states expected delivery date - pending and no estimated delivery date available at this time.

    Had just ordered a toolkit from Ifixit and was 40CAD approximately to ship by FedEx because I need the tools. It was a two day shipping and arrived yesterday. Missed the buzzer, my fault. They redelivered today which I stayed home and answered the buzzer right as the driver and said to him "come on up!" Buzzed at 2:14pm, it's on my call log. Waiting patiently at my apt door for 15 mins but he didn't come up as they usually do especially UPS. I went to my email and checked the tracking. It said "Delivery exception. Customer or business unavailable, provided door tag to where item is available." Called the usual customer service twice, no answers.

    Never knew that people like this could be such a ruin to their image and why pay for shipping to your door if the courier himself will just not care one bit and take the effort to go up the elevator to hand it to me, does it really require so much to go up and deliver what we pay for? Just because it's not important to them doesn't mean it's not important to anyone else and to pick up my package is just telling me to pay for transportation to get it. If it's always like this just use a reliable cheaper post and then get it yourself instead of paying for it. Very unhappy.

    I had someone purchase a triplet stroller and 3 toddler seats from me. I had no idea how to ship these items due to their size and awkward shape. So I decided to bring it to a Fedex shipping center. The manager of the store took measurements and then called an employee on his cell phone to bring him a different size box. He explained that the toddler seats would have to ship in their own box and that the stroller would have it's own box. The manager proceeded to box the seats and the employee still had not shown up with the other box. They took measurements several times. He said to make sure everything would fit.

    After a significant amount of time the box still had not arrived so the manager decided to check me out. He said he would box and ship everything once the other box arrived. I was not in a hurry, it was his decision to check me out. He gave me a price (nearly $200). I swiped my debit card and left the store feeling like the transaction was complete. I was obviously wrong. The following week an additional $110 was charged to my card. When I called asking about the charge the manager told me the stroller didn't fit in the box that he anticipated so he had to use a bigger box, thus increasing the shipping cost. I never authorized my card to be charged an additional time and I disagree with the way this business was done. I am very disappointed with my Fedex experience and will likely not use their services again.

    World Music Supply shipped an expensive limited edition Fender guitar by FedEx Ground. I received an update on my tracking search that it had been delivered 30-45 minutes earlier and left on our porch. After searching everywhere it could have been left and checking with all nearby neighbors, we concluded that the driver never delivered the package but drove by to cover his theft with GPS positioning tracking. His supervisor says it is the driver's word against ours and they won't even send an investigator to our house. This would easily disprove the driver's lies. FedEx driver's can get away with anything they want to steal and the company won't do anything about it! We can prove that we were home and we can prove that the driver didn't even enter our property. FedEx's solution was to send the driver out to lie to our faces but refused to send an investigator to confirm their driver's theft and subsequent lies.

    Updated on 08/13/2015: FedEx Ground security called today to let me know that they had completed their investigation of my claim. Their conclusion, without interviewing me or visiting my house to see how preposterous the driver's lies were, was that they didn't know where my package was but their driver says he delivered it. Claim denied. End of story. Conclusion: If you ship with FedEx Ground without a required signature on delivery, your valuable package will disappear with no accountability for the driver. All he has to do is drive by your residence and his GPS tracking device will "prove" that he made the delivery. You could be sitting on your front porch waiting for your package to be delivered and that is not enough for FedEx if the driver says he delivered it and it is missing. Boycott these thieves!

How come the tracking info realized that the package was going to Tucson, but instead they sent it to Tempe? Then the office in Tempe was sitting on it without taking any action? Too many bugs/mistakes:

    They need to show address info in tracking system, at least Zip code/city. If they send the package to one city it should show the same city on the tracking info. Don't track to Tucson and send to Tempe! Hire a real programmer and cross check the addresses automatically. If no match, immediately take action. When I went to contact them via their email form, it did not appear to send it. Hitting the send button did not do anything. No error message either.

Here is a summary of what I've been told in the 5 days of following up: Plane was rerouted due to weather causing the delay (not true), package sent to Phoenix by mistake (not true), package is in Memphis still, a team of people are looking for your package, the package will be sent to our lost and found to be claimed, and, we have no updates since arriving in Memphis.

    I've been told on three different occasions someone would call me back and it has never happened. The fourth time they told me someone would call I laughed. After explaining why I found that humorous, I was transferred to a "Customer Advocate" that didn't know anything but was willing to hear me complain. The suggestion I was given, just like last time, was to call Amazon and have them ship it again. It's a good thing Amazon is so great with these kinds of things.

    I have never had such an amazingly horrific experience with such a large company, one which could care less that these were medications I needed, not ten days for now, but overnight, which is why we paid over 100.00 to have them sent that way.

Packages just don't deliver themselves yet FedEx doesn't have any tracking for our box getting sent anywhere even though they supposedly conducted "a thorough investigation" and thinks it's acceptable for us to be out $981 while somebody else has our Surface Pro.

When the package didn't arrive when I expected it to, I tracked it online only to find that it was already here in Edmonton but that FedEx couldn't find my address.

I call AGAIN to find out what on earth happened and why I was made to fill out a claim only to be ignored. I'm assured that a manager will call me in 24 hours.

    Several days later NO ONE has called me so I call yet AGAIN. The customer service rep was INCREDIBLY RUDE. I told the story again and explained that I just needed answers as I was charged for the package a month ago and needed to get this settled. The rep asked me not to think of her as a liar.

    I was traveling and was informed by my shipper that a delivery was being made through FedEx, I quickly went online and registered for a vacation hold, thinking that their system really works and someone would really check to see if there is a vacation hold. But I was wrong and after 3 failed attempts to deliver they returned the shipment to the shipper. The original shipment was originated in Shanghai, so I hope they really have got the item back there.

    Anyhow, when I contacted them to find out why this has happened, instead of admitting that someone has screwed up they just kept telling me "contact your shipper"; well I do not need an incompetent FedEx agent to tell me that, I know that I should contact the shipper and request that they arrange redelivery hopefully through another company.

    No one came to pick up my package after the online scheduler didn't work using the return tracking number provided by APPLE and I had to call in and set it up. I called back to see why they didn't show or call, there was a typo on the phone number. Instead of fixing it and rescheduling it they started from the beginning with the man hearing every single thing wrong (no language barrier) - name phone agency address...17 minutes later they finally were able to confirm a second pick up scheduled for today. POOR.

    FedEx tracking informed me via email that my package had been delivered. Tracking was updated to reflect package was left at my door. I was home, anxiously and obsessively awaiting delivery and never heard anyone come to the door. I offer a suggestion: make an attempt to communicate to persons inside the house that someone on the outside of the house has traveled here for any number of potential but certainly not delivery-related reasons.

    Regardless of the lesson I've learned regarding your practices, maybe some good can come of losing any potential business from me or any merchant who cannot offer alternative shipping options. I don't believe the FedEx assertion that my package was delivered. It will always be my word against FedEx and for whatever reasons, I'll lose. Here's a story from this week where the exact same assertion was made but in this case, camera evidence irrefutably disproved that: **. The tracking scan process is clearly not definitive and it leads me to believe not only is it possible to have inconsistent (FALSE) standards, but could easily be common practice. Like many facets of modern life, technology is shedding light on the mysteries that are otherwise just tall tales and fantasy.

    Time for surveillance equipment because a simple search reveals a pattern of disregard and zero liability for driver error, once they've marked your package delivered they are free of any responsibility. How can you deliver to the wrong address and refuse to correct the error as others have experienced, as a business practice? Because of this, I think you should at the very least leave a note to physically prove you were there. I believe it would be strong evidence for the driver that delivery was made and theft was instead to blame. I doubt drivers would have time to leave a printed note as a cursory internet search seems to suggest FedEx is a horrible employer with questionable working conditions and the very bare minimum for non-corporate "customers".

    I shipped a package through FedEx. It was a laptop. The laptop was packed in its factory box with foam holders, then packed in a larger box with surrounded with bubble pack. It was taped three across, and three strips wide, around the full circumference of the box. Somehow FedEx managed to destroy the box so it was undeliverable, then told me they destroy boxes like that rather than return them to the shipper. Absolutely unacceptable.

    First off let me state that I work for a company that does business with FedEx every single day. I have boxes shipped and picked up from my store each day without fail. At times I have personal items delivered to my place of employment to avoid worrying about it sitting on my porch at home all day. I recently order such an item to have delivered to the store. I still had not received it late into the afternoon so I checked the tracking number and it showed that the item had been delivered and signed for by someone at the store. I had no one in the store by the last name that showed on the receipt. I called FedEx and dealt with their terrible voice automated system. Finally when I reached someone I was told that they had no idea where my package was and that they would have to get back to me. Still being at work I can't drop everything to answer the call.

    I missed the call which of course comes from an unavailable number that I was not able to call back. I called customer service once again. Was told that I would have to wait for another call. Finally after another missed call and another call into customer service I was finally able to speak to someone. When speaking with the lady at the station she stated that she found my package and it was at another store that I could go to ON MY OWN and pick it up. Otherwise she would arrange for pick up on the next day. I paid for two day shipping on my item which meant I should have had it two days before it was sent to the wrong address and now I have to wait another day. I expressed my concerns and the lady laughed at me! Never before have I ever been treated so awfully. I will never do business with them again.

    The fabric was shipped in two different packages. One package contained 7.5 yards of fabric and the other one contained 20.5 yards. Both packages were shipped at the same time. The 7.5 yards made it to destination and the 20.5 yards never did. The tracking number says that it is in Memphis TN, and there is no delivery date available. I have called customer service multiple times and filed a claim. For the last three weeks I have been put on hold for hours, transferred to multiple people (all EXTREMELY unhelpful) and I have been told that they would call me back. NOBODY calls back!!!

    You have to call them over and over to get a hold of someone. They all say that they are sorry and that they are doing what they can to find it. I seriously doubt it! This is not a small package, it cannot just be lost. I think FedEx has the worst customer service ever! They do not care about the customer! They take your money and if the package is lost... you better get used to the idea. We have an interior design business and this package was fabric for drapes. We will have one very unhappy customer thanks to FedEx. Very very angry and disappointed!

Then the FedEx person from the customs in the Philippines emailed me that it was gonna be 159$ for the tax. He said it would go on my FedEx account. So I saw the $337 dollars on my account which just showed up as express. Then 2 weeks later after I've paid them the 337 dollars another 158 dollars showed up on my account that I needed to pay saying it was the customs tax!! Wow they were pretty smart to not have broken down what you already paid and didn't give you receipts. I'm pretty sure they did it so you won't have no evidence that you paid them already! Scammers!

    Trying to ship my suitcase and ascertain info on cost. Nice website with smiles and pledges, but not user friendly. Found a suitcase box after an hour or so on the site. Filled out a form to get a quote and used dimensions, weight, value and amount of insurance. Zone 2 to Zone 2 by Ground. Quote was $27 for shipping. Needed to confirm that I had handled this correctly so called customer service at Corporate. They said that I would pay $33. Fine. Said there are, indeed, suitcase boxes at 2 location of the 3 in Durham, NC. and they are $9.99. I could see that my suitcase would be perfect in that box with no packing. Maybe buy some tape.

    I decided to follow up with the two stores by phone and learned that there was no such box that they knew of. They would have to custom make the box at $30. One store is a packing plus so they should have all the latest packing info. Stuck! Now paying $60 total instead of $43. So daughter in law heads to store prepared to pay $60. I get a phone call that the shipping quote has gone up due to the packing custom packing. The packing charge stayed the same at $30. So now I'm quoted $80. This is Ground shipping at 40#'s.

    Ended up sending it with no packing but with insurance. Contents has some medical equipment inside. Bought bubble wrap and wrapped it carefully.

    My fiance and I order products online at least four times a month. We have packages delivered by UPS, FedEx, and USPS. UPS does, what I call, the knock, drop, and walk when they deliver. They knock once on the door, drop the package, and walk away without checking to see if anyone is home. We had a driver tell us that is not how it is supposed to be done but at least we are made aware that there is something on our porch. We were waiting on a TV to be delivered because the first time it was damaged during transit. I opened the door to walk our dog and found a giant package leaning against our door frame. We never heard a knock and our dog didn't bark which he always does. I specifically put a sign on my front door that says if we are not home please leave all packages in the office. I wrote this because I have had packages stolen off my porch before.

    This is an expensive TV and I am shocked they didn't require a signature or that they didn't bother knocking. This is not the first time this has happened and I am sure it won't be the last. After checking the FedEx policy for delivery, the drivers aren't responsible for anything. I have had stuff say it was delivered and I know for a fact it wasn't. When expecting a package I make sure I am home and that I look out into the parking lot frequently. I do this because we have had so many problems. I wish we were able to choose which company delivered our packages because I would make sure not to select FedEx. I am fed up with their lack of consideration when handling other people's items.

So I figured ok they made a mistake but then the customer rep then proceed to tell me that if I want my package that I have to go and pick it up myself to the wrong address even though they made the mistake. This pissed me off. I told him this package is heavy and I will not do it. He then told me "ok the package will be delivered the next day at 10:00 am".

    So I waited and still no show, I called again and a different customer rep told me it will be by 12:00 pm, again no show or call. What a piece of crap company FEDEX is. I then cancelled my order with Amazon explaining what just took place. I told Amazon from this day forward I will not purchase anything as long as Fedex is the shipper. I had enough with Fedex.

    Because of the incompetence of FedEx I have been living a nightmare for the past month and it seems to keep getting worse. After investigating the whereabouts of my package for the past few weeks, and with much effort on my part, the situation was escalated to FedEx's executive offices, my package was not found. It is I am at loss of two months work, costing 4,500.00 dollars, and sales of upwards of over 10,000.00.

    The package has been missing ever since one FedEx's employees caused my package to be untraceable. What is the point of shipping with FedEx if the package is not traceable? How this can happen is outrageous; the gross incompetence of FedEx agent(s) is disturbing and upsetting. I cannot understand why my package was relabeled and not cross referenced with the old tracking number, which was registered into their system! Why didn't their agent do his job properly? Doesn't FedEx train their employees? FedEx telling me that the package could "show up, an honest person returning it to FedEx, after receiving it mistakenly" does not reassure me, nor does it demonstrate confidence in FedEx's services.

    Although FedEx has admitted fault, the mistake of not cross referencing the new label to the old label (as they should have), is not excusable, and "sorry" is not good enough; this does not fix the problem caused by the incompetence of FedEx. This mistake has ruined my vacation (a rare occurrence), caused GREAT distress - making me on the verge of tears from anger, and may complicate future plans.

    This mistake due to the lack of proper training of FedEx employees will have great consequences and could potentially compromise the medical treatment I am embarking on; stress is a poison and FedEx has caused me undue, restless stress for the past month and the upcoming several weeks. The package lost by FedEx contained an order that took eight weeks to make. I scheduled my medical treatment for after my orders were complete and finished. Because of FedEx's mistake I will have to remake the order for the next few weeks, which may compromise my medical treatment - this is a problem!

    Hope ** of the claims department has offered me her executive offer of $1,000.00 for reimbursement for FedEx's admitted fault in the loss of my package. This compensation is insulting and unfair. Why should I have to shoulder the responsibility of remaking the order and paying for the cost of a 10,000.00 mistake made by FedEx? According to Ms. **, this is what she claims is fair! $4500,00 is just the cost of making the order, the out of pocket value to date is 10,000.00; FedEx offering me 1000.00 is outrageous! This was FedEx's admitted mistake. Why should I have to shoulder the entire responsibility of replacing the goods? FedEx has poorly and neglectfully, created a new label, and not crossed referenced the new label to the old label and it's old tracking number, therefore making the package untraceable.

    This mistake is FedEx's fault and the poor training done by FedEx. Why should I suffer a loss of over 10,000.00, redo two months work by having to remake the order, and compromise my well planned IVF treatment, which was scheduled months in advance? I do not think I should have to suffer FedEx's mistake alone. Why is FedEx admitting to poor service and "hoping to regain my confidence" but do not wanting to reimburse me for their loss, which would be the fair and honorable thing to do?

    FedEx has owned up to their mistake by a meager apology and 1,000.00; I would like full reimbursement for good lost and loss of sales to date. Why should I have to pay for the replacement of goods caused by FedEx's mistake; FedEx admitting fault does nothing for me when I have to redo two months work, suffer a loss of over 10,000.00, and compromise my well planned IVF treatment, which was scheduled months in advance! I do not think I should have to suffer FedEx's mistake, which they have admitted to...

    All this could have been avoided, if FedEx's agent was properly trained; I cannot understand why the label I created, that was logged into FedEx's system was not cross referenced to the new label created by FedEx. This error has and will have a tremendous consequence on my life for the next couple of months. This "mistake" made by FedEx must be properly dealt with. I deserve reimbursement for all the loss, grief and unrest FedEx has caused. If this matter is not dealt with fairly. I deserve a fair reimbursement for all the loss, headache, stress and unrest FedEx has caused me. I am a small business owner and have dealt with lost packages before, but never in the past 20 years have I dealt with such improper training.

    My first experience with FedEx was about three months ago. A package was mailed from a company. I tracked it daily. To my knowledge, there was never an attempt at delivery. There was always someone home, and the 2 supers also sign. (Note: My UPS packages ALWAYS arrived before delivery date or on delivery date.) FedEx said they attempted delivery twice, even though they left no attempted delivery slip. I worked with the shipper and FedEx for three days. They only lied and aggravated me. I eventually picked it up at their facility.

    I am now waiting since Monday for a FedEx delivery, which has been sitting in my location since Monday. This package was mailed as a replacement for a package which FedEx claimed to have attempted to deliver once, and promptly shipped it back to its origins. (There was always someone here, plus two supers. Also, they posted no slip to support their allegation.)

    Four different people from the shipping company have been working with FedEx on my behalf, since yesterday; who were all told that I would receive the package yesterday. Since Tuesday, FedEx has not updated their tracking, but even this morning FedEx told shipper that I would have package by midday, and that they would update tracking page, which they have not done. It's after 1:00 p.m. and I am still waiting. The people who are answering the phone are uncaring, unhelpful, inefficient, unreliable, and what appalls me, VERY DISHONEST.

A phone call to customer service told me that due to a "violent thunderstorm" the plane couldn't land in Indianapolis. My package won't be delivered until 7/15/15. There's no refund due to the weather delay. This is at least the third time that this has happened to me within the last 12 months. In the winter, snow is a constant problem for FedEx and in the other seasons it's always terrible weather that seems to strike FedEx.

    Why is my package going to Indianapolis? Aren't there enough packages going to Chicago so that deliveries are sent directly to Chicago? Time for FedEx to stop being cheap. Their delivery prices aren't inexpensive, in fact their prices have risen considerably and their service has drastically declined. I guess I have to trust the post office or deliver packages myself. You can't count on FedEx. My business depends on prompt delivery. I can't tell clients that they have to be patient with FedEx and expect problems.

    My father recently lost internet, so he couldn't order anything online. He needed to buy some replacement shaving foil heads and asked me to do it for him. The ordering process wasn't a problem. The shipment was the very next day. The problem was FedEx. The Tuesday or Wednesday after the 4th of July the package was supposed to be delivered. I got a call from the delivery guy saying he could find the mailbox, but couldn't find the house. That part was certainly understandable as my dad's house isn't all that big and there's trees obstructing the view from the road. Also the house is across the street from the mailbox. (That isn't too unusual in Michigan.) He said he could leave it with a neighbor or at the end of the driveway. I said no to both options as I wasn't too sure about how my dad would feel about it. I told him he could leave it at the porch. Now this is where we started having issues.

    The driver said his truck couldn't fit under the overhang from the trees. (My dad lets the trees grow pretty wild.) I told the driver he could just get out of the truck and walk up the driveway. It's not that long of a walk and once you get to the end you can see the house right there. Well, this driver is either really scared of nature or is just plain lazy as the package wasn't delivered that day; he said "Well let's just see what happens" when I told him where he could leave the package. I called my dad later that day, relayed what happened, and asked he'd prefer; he said leave it on the porch or at the end of the driveway.

    A day or so later I get a call from the delivery guy about the package again. I told him what my dad told me. He could leave it at the end of the driveway or at the house; either was fine with my dad. Again, we have this same issue as mentioned above. I gave him explicit directions again; his response hadn't changed. I call my father later that day to see if he got it. He still hadn't gotten it. He checked the mailbox, the driveway, and the porch; nothing there. He lets me call the folks from FedEx to see what the heck is going on. The guy on the phone (different person from the driver) says the driver was having issues. He presented me with two options: Pick it up from a facility or wait for it to be delivered again the following Monday. By this point I'm fed up with the delivery guy so I say we'll pick it up the next day, Saturday. He gives us the address. I call Dad back and tell him the address and whatnot; he's cool for picking it up the next day.

    The next day arrives and he and I hang out for a few hours before going to the place. After a couple of hours of technical difficulties and issues with construction on the roads, we pull out his GPS and make our way there. We get down the road, which looks fairly empty. The street was littered with mostly empty warehouses. The GPS tells us that we are passing it up several times as we go back and forth. Finally we make a turn into what looks like an empty lot; the GPS responds that we've arrived. However, we didn't see a FedEx place. What we pulled into was an abandoned power station and warehouse!!! There aren't enough words in the English language to describe how angry we were. The closest would be livid.

    As we pull out my dad says call them and have them change the address to mine because at least the driver can't say he can't find the place. (They've delivered to my place once before.) The representative on the phone tells us the only person with the power to do that is the party that originally shipped the package. Makes sense, but doesn't ease our frustration one bit. As we're driving around trying to get to the highway we find the place where we were told that the package would be at. We try to get in only told be told that they were closed. On a Saturday at 2:30 in the afternoon.

    At this point we're both fed up with this mediocre business. Dad says either have them send it back to the shipper and ask for a refund or try to get them to ship it to my place. Next time I order from someone, if the send it via FedEx, don't bother with them. And there's one thing I forgot to mention: On the tracking site the driver marks that the package has been delivered. FedEx is a joke. Their drivers are either incompetent or lazy. They lie to you left and right about where the package is and addresses. I am so done with this company. I am not ordering anything that uses FedEx and I suggest you folks not use them either.

And the Alpharetta manager, where the package is marked as having been delivered and scanned into, will no longer take my calls. @FedexHelp offered to help, but they will not return my calls either. This has been the absolute WORST attempt at customer service I have experienced in a very long time. The tracking number is **. They have also told me that they "may or may not" return the overnight shipping cost. That will have to be investigated to see if it was their fault.

    My package was to be delivered on Wednesday. For some reason, the delivery driver decided not to attempt to make the scheduled delivery. I called Canton, OH Fedex office to find out why it was not delivered. He had absolutely no idea, did not offer to try to find out for me. So I guess whenever the driver decides he wants to make a scheduled delivery, he'll decide if he wants to or not or just take the package back to Canton warehouse.

    I called a second time and talked to another person, he was no better than the first. He didn't know how to check on my package. He finally just said a truck driver had it and I would have it by 8 pm. I told him by Fedex web site it was sitting in a warehouse not on a delivery truck. He told me I couldn't go by what the internet site said. By 8 pm, no package. I called again. This time, got a person I could hardly understand. She was stupid and reading lies from her paper that FedEx gives to employees.

    So when will I receive my package? Who knows, but the last girl told me if I wanted my package, I could drive to Canton and pick it up myself. I have no idea if it will be delivered or not. This is not the first time I have had delivery problems with FedEx. I will never make a purchase again if they use Fedex. I will only use UPS. They are dependable!!

    My package was sent as a 2 day priority package. The package showed deliver but it was never delivered to the address. I had a neighbor checking to see if the FedEx man dropped anything off (the truck never even stopped)! I called FedEx who told me there would be a two hour wait which would put me past next day delivery of a new package, so I decided to wait on hold for 43 minutes to speak to a supervisor. Not a surprise... For the 3rd time they delivered my package to another house!!! I don't have a difficult address, I really don't understand what happens to be the problem! Unless the FedEx guy wants to prance around in my things from Victoria Secrets, which I'm starting to think is a serious possibility at this point! Find my package or refund the fees and price of the product!!!

    Delivery attempt #1 I was home on lunch break. Delivery attempt #2 I was home on lunch break. In both cases the driver stated he tried doorbell but I don't believe he did because the doorbell is very loud and I was home. I called customer service 4:30 on the second day (driver had allegedly tried pick up at 3:45)... And was told driver would deliver package by 6:30. I stated I had to be somewhere and it had to be by 6:30. At 6:40 I called customer service and was told he was running late and would call me. At 7:30 I still had no package and had canceled my night plans since I was waiting. I called customer service and was told the driver was done for the night. The representative Deb ** was incredibly unhelpful so I requested I speak with her supervisor - after much back and forth she agreed to have him call me that night.... He, Mike **, Saco station senior manager, never called.

    The next morning he called and said he had opened the package and was returning it to the sender because it contained alcohol. I don't know why he opened it because he had no reason to. He also stated he had not called the night before because he had the wrong number (which I had confirmed 3 times with Deb). I asked to speak with his supervisor and he refused to give me that individual's information, stating I should call the 1-800 number. On top of all this back and forth there were at least 4 calls into the 1-800 number where I was either hung up on or bounced around for 20 min. Comically awful customer service. Please investigate.

    Their lazy driver decided rather than make a second attempt to deliver my 600.00 phone, he'd leave it with a 'neighbor'. I'm in the country. The neighbor is 1/2 a mile away, and we have never even met. FedEx told me that they are allowed to leave it with a neighbor if they choose to. Are you kidding me?! I never did receive my phone. I have no phone number for the people who signed for. They didn't call me or do FE's job and deliver it to me. Today I find out that this driver is claiming that he attempted to redeliver and that I refused it. WTF?!

    I ordered something from Target over a week ago. Just watching the "track package" is a joke. So far my package had been shipped to 3 different FedEx places in California. It's been about 8 days and it has yet to make it out of California. My favorite FedEx experience is when they told me a package was delivered to my house (their proof was the driver marked it was delivered in their system). I work from home and my office literally faces the driveway. Had FedEx been here, I would have seen the truck. I called customer again and the guy had me looking all over the place for it. Even the garbage can. He said they have had multiple drivers put packages in garbage cans. How ridiculous is that?!?! Why would a package delivery company deliver it to a garbage can!?!? Ended up finding my package, it was delivered to a neighbor's house and they were kind enough to finish FedEx job for them and deliver it to me.

    I needed a shipment picked up from a disabled relative. I contacted a supervisor to help since I was having problems figuring out how to have a label pre-printed & brought to the house for pick up. It was CRITICAL that this shipment arrive on the 6th. I set up an account, requested text & email alerts. Was told I needed to wait to get a tracking # -- they would email it to me. Lies. I stayed home, no package. Value is over $5,000 & my account info was internally deleted. No tracking #. Called, keep calling, no help. Asked for a supervisor when Anthony was no help. David tried but was awful. Turns out he lied. Antony lied. He wasn't a supervisor, just seemed to tried to antagonize me. When I did get a supervisor, Jesus, he did nothing. Defended the other liars, provided no help, antagonized me at every turn. $5,000 loss of heirloom & FedEx deletes all account & shipping info.

    No recourse -- insurance info deleted, and they keep me online & just won't stop harassing me. All I asked for was the # of someone who could help. 25 min later, I get it -- 2 min after they close. El Salvador center should be shut down, or hire competent people. I am done with FedEx. Used their services for years, but I've never been this upset, felt this violated -- If someone treated me this way in person, I would have called the police. Shame on FedEx for caring so little about the people who entrust their most valuable possessions to them. I took a day off work to be here for delivery, paid $98 for 2nd day air & insurance -- plus my hurt feelings, my outrage, my anger? $5000 won't begin to address what they have done. Seems like they enjoyed getting me upset -- felt it was their objective, honestly wondering if the El Salvador call center uses prison labor, or if El Salvador is actually a real center -- another lie they just made up.

    No employee ID #'s, no reference info for calls -- zero help for customers, no recourse & I still cannot get the tracking info. What do you do when these horrible uncaring lying people go into your online account & delete your info? Loss that resulted & anger they have induced is beyond words (I rarely get angry. Been years since I've raised my voice & they turned me inside out till I was screaming -- unforgivable what they have done). Using terrible people like the ones who answer the calls -- reason I will not trust or use FedEx again. An apology or a simple bit of kindness would have gone a long way -- instead of Jesus constantly repeating the same thing, that I must be wrong, I am wrong, I wanted delivery for a later date -- who does that to a customer? Never mind the other details... I am Done.

    On 7/1/2015, I sent a very important, time sensitive package of docs through FedEx to be overnighted priority 10:30 delivery. It was not delivered. I called tracking services at FedEx and the lady said it was stuck in Tennessee due to weather and wouldn't be delivered until Monday at the earliest. (The tracking shows it was delivered to Memphis, TN at 12:49 pm 7/2/2015. FYI: that's 2 hours AFTER promised delivery time of 10:30 7/2/2015 to Newport Beach, CA. So, on 7/2/2015) I scramble, driving an hour back to my office to get a second set of docs signed and to send the second set of docs overnight to be delivered at 8:30 am 7/3/2015.

    I told the clerk at the FedEx store about the experience with the first package and I stressed to the clerk that it is imperative that the docs get there at 8:30 as the office closes at 10:30 due to 4th of July holiday. She guarantees it will be delivered at 8:30 a.m. which, FYI, is the earliest FedEx option... 8:30 a.m. is their earliest option... not 7:30 a.m. The clerk tells me that it will cost $72.13. I then told the clerk that I shouldn't have to pay for 2nd package and should be refunded on the first package and that that is the least they should do for me. She told me to wait and she would get someone that could help with that as she didn't have the authority to do refunds.

    The second clerk comes over to assist and only says that they are just a store front and do not do refunds and that I would have to call corporate. I asked her who to contact and how to go about it. Her only response was that the only thing she could do is leave a note for her manager. I repeat my question as to how to go about contacting the right department and what steps do I need to take. She again responded the exact same response of only being able to leave a note for her manager. So, I pay the $72:13. The next day, 7/3/2015, my contact at the delivery point office calls me and says when he got there at 7:45 (early, as they open at 8:00) there was a note on the door that said tried to deliver at 7:30 a.m. and no one was there to accept so will be back to deliver on Monday.

    So I frustratingly wonder, who delivers to an office as early as 7:30 a.m.??? Does FedEx really not care to the point that they will try to deliver to a place of business at unreasonably early hours (for a business location) just to say they tried, but oh well, no one was there so not their problem? I called FedEx and was transferred once again to customer service who then transferred me to specialty customer services. On my call to FedEx specialty customer service at 10:14 a.m. 7/3/2015 I talked to Brittney, who also confirmed that she thought that 7:30 was unreasonable for a business delivery. I was also told by Brittney that the first package, that was sent 7/1/2015 with the guaranteed delivery time of 7/2/2915 at 10:30 a.m., would be delivered by 10:30 today, 7/3/2015 and that weather had delayed it. At 10:30 a.m. 7/3/2015, it was still not delivered.

    Also, according to tracking notes it wasn't even delivered to the Memphis, TN location until 12:49 7/2/2015... 2 hours after guaranteed delivery time for delivery to Newport Beach CA. If it isn't even delivered to Memphis TN until after the promised delivery time, how does it get stuck there due to weather when it hadn't even arrived there yet? Then Brittney tells me the second package that I requested to be delivered at 8:30 a.m., had been flagged to be delivered before 8:00 a.m. And that she didn't know why they would have flagged it like that.

    I told her that wasn't even an option offered. I was told I could pay more for early 8:30 delivery (cost was $72.13) or pay for 10:30 delivery(cost: $43.00). Those were my two options. I chose 8:30 a.m, at the higher cost so I could rely on package getting there at least before 10:30 a.m. As by this time I have little faith and feel like it's just going to be by chance that it's even delivered on Friday. Also, Brittney says the first package is in Costa Mesa and will be guaranteed delivery by 10:30 a.m. today, 7/3/2015. It wasn't. So, I check tracking again and it just says "delivery exception," I don't know what that means. I talked to Brittney about refunding me on both of these packages as FEDEX guaranteed and did not fulfill their guarantee. She says she cannot do anything about it and that I will have to call back 7-10 days after packages have been delivered to request a refund.

    She also said that the first package will not be refunded cuz it was due to weather and that the second package may refund but she couldn't be sure. That is when I asked for her name for reference verification of conversation. She gave me her first name but wouldn't give her last name or any type of agent number to verify that I talked to her. And she said she had no way of making any notes in system. And she wouldn't give me a direct phone number to the correct department for when I call back but that she hopes I have a wonderful weekend!!! So, I will have to go through the "being transferred" process again. I have to start all over with all the explaining and pleading my case 7-10 days from whenever they deliver my packages. And now I know that their promises are only at their own convenience no matter how much they charge for those deliveries.

    Meanwhile, the deal is dead in the water anyway, unless when and if docs do arrive the accepting location decides to honor the docs. I stressed and stressed the importance of time sensitive docs when I stood at the customer counter paying for priority delivery. I received promises of guaranteed on time delivery. What I ended up with was a total of $115.12 for guaranteed priority deliveries, frustration, stress and more stress and no reconciliation. Unfortunately I will never trust FedEx with any of my packages in the future. I have always used them for my business. They have been my go to service. I refuse to ever use them again. That is sad that they have left such a negative impression on me. I always thought that if I ever did have a problem with FedEx that they would be happy to make it right and do everything possible to make it right. They haven't even given me any inclination of their concern. That's cold.

Later that day I got an email saying I had to pick it up. After going through the torturous ordeal of setting up an account on their VERY unhelpful site, I notified them that I was going out of town for 6 days and could not pick it up. I requested delivery to my home. No response. When I got back in town I decided to just drive out to the facility and pick it up.

    I did, and learned they had sent it back to the U.K. The clerk gave me a tracking number and provided no other assistance (not even the number to call), just said I had to call FedEx with the number. The number, of course, was an automated voice that was about as helpful as the desk clerk. All of this hassle just because FedEx is a very non-consumer oriented business that could care less about actually providing customer service. I never had this problem with UPS.

I paid for two day shipping which was over 10.00 dollars and the package did not arrive on the day it was supposed to. So I checked the status and it said it was delivered that day at 4:36 on my front door? I called fedex to file a claim. They told me they would contact the driver and get back to me the next day. The next day the fedex delivery driver shows up and claims he left it on my front door at the time in question and knocked on the door.

    There were two people home and a third arrived 30 minutes later. We never heard the door, and our dog barks like crazy whenever he even sees a mail truck. We live in a residential development and have never had something stolen from our property. Hell our driveway is even pretty long and there were people, home and cars parked out front. Apparently the package was stolen in a 30 minute window with all that. Any ways I called fedex back and they told me I would have to call the company I bought the product from.

The customer service in USA kept telling me to contact customer service in India & vice versa. No sense of responsibility, rather trying to throw the problem at whoever catches & apparently there is no one.

    I would recommend using any other service available for courier or shipments, even if they are not as fast as FedEx. That they are very good at, even passing away complaints as fast as possible!

I never received the call, so I contacted Fed Ex at 12:15 pm, one was put on hold to transfer me to the driver's supervisor. While on hold the rep came on the phone and told that there was only a request to have a supervisor call me, that they are not obligated to call me back.

    My niece shipped a wedding gift for my son to Italy - total value $250. She shipped the gifts in 2 boxes - advice of FedEx- which were sent as one shipment. FedEx separated the two boxes somewhere and that produced a MESS at Italian customs, which FedEx did NOTHING to fix. I paid custom duties on the total declared worth of the two packages for EACH of the packages as it was delivered. Because of FedEx's mistake, I ended up paying MORE in delivery costs than the total worth of the gifts. I got a letter from them today in which it shows that the declared value of one of the packages was $50 and my payment for delivery was €74,54 or $84.03, which I paid for that box and AGAIN for the second box. FedEx is inefficient and unreliable - shamefully so. NEVER USE FEDEX IF YOU ARE SHIPPING TO ITALY. There are many companies and, in my experience, they are ALL better than FedEx.

    Was supposed to get my company laptop delivered yesterday morning by 10:30. I waited and waited and waited... And at 10:30 I opened the door and there was a door tag saying he'd been and left! Now, I was home and my JRT was in the house with me and I can assure you that if that doorbell had rung, we would have known... ** goes CRAZY when the doorbell rings. I checked, and yes, it's working. So, I go online and they say it will be re-delivered TODAY before 10:30. Again, we wait. Nothing.

    I have an 11 am appointment (that was a 10am appointment that I changed) so I leave a sweet note including the words "please" and "thanks" saying I had to leave but could he please re-deliver between 1 and 2:30 since I have a 3pm appointment. I come home and there's another door tag telling me to pick it up at FedEx after 5 pm. The time on the door tag: 12:43. He could have waited 15 minutes, or run a few other deliveries and come back, but he didn't. And now they're telling me the only option I have is to pick it up - or be home ALL DAY MONDAY for delivery! Totally unacceptable.

    This delivery has been a nightmare. I called 6/9 to get the package delivered to the FedEx location near my office. ** got that arranged for me. On Wednesday 6/10 I called again since I was getting updates that it was again going to my house address. I called and spoke with someone who said he saw the notes but apparently it didn't make it into the appropriate part of the status. He said it would go to 1625 W. Mockingbird Lane Dallas TX. I went by that location on Thursday after 3pm. They said they had no record of it and it didn't appear that it was going to their location. I called again and spoke with the Customer Advocate Team. She indicated that the package was put on the truck in Hutchins at 6:12 am and at 6:26 am I called to get it re-routed. That call never happened.

    She then said she would call the station to get it put on the truck for Friday delivery. She spoke with ** at the Hutchins location. She said that ** would call me back later to confirm this. No call. Then this morning I called the Customer Advocate Team again and spoke with ** (rep id: **). He said that it was still at the station in Hutchins and if he told them to redeliver to 1625 West Mockingbird I wouldn’t get the package until Monday. I told him to just tell Hutchins to hold the package and I would drive there to get it. He said he would call me TODAY (06/12/2015) to confirm this. This is one of the worst shipping experiences I have ever had.

    FedEx came and picked up a box to be returned back to the vendor, but it is been two days they can't find it. The tracking number that they emailed me doesn't show anything, and the confirmation number says that package was not ready, so the driver didn't pick it up. PLEASE NEVER USE THIS SERVICE, NEVER EVER! FORGET THE FEDEX, IT’S USELESS! In contrast, it's such a great experience to do a business with UPS. Hassle free, friendly and professional people, always a pleasure to deal with UPS!

    FedEx tracking shows package has delivered with signature. However I am still trying to find package. I was home all day with my front door wide open. Why would someone accept and sign for delivery addressed to a stranger and to an address that is not yours. My heart is telling me that the employees cannot be trusted and that these are internal scams. How can I be compensated for an item that I will not be able to replace? The value of an item is not solely the price it was purchased for. It should be the cost to repurchase.

    I am still waiting on FedEx approximately 7 hrs after notifying them to make communications with their driver to get his story on my package. Clearly this delay indicates that FedEx do not care about my issue. The outcome might have been more favorable had they reach him/her immediately so that they can immediately retrace their step. I am so angry and disappointed. I have received regular shipments from UPS and have never had a package misrouted or loss...

    I wanted to deliver a package (a gift) from Bangalore to Varanasi which was supposed to be delivered by 3rd of June, 2015 but it didn't get delivered 'til 5th of June, 2015 even after giving them several calls to make it deliver as soon as possible because it was a priority package. On the top of that, they are not informing me that your package is in Delhi and the status is transit - they are just saying that it's getting delayed due to some problem (God knows what problem). Then after several calls, when I strictly demanded an answer from them for the delay, then they said that - "Sir, we need form no. 39 to deliver your package in Uttar Pradesh, and only the receiver of the package can fill that form and attach it to the e-mail and send it to us and that too the form should be approved from the SALES TAX OFFICE OF VARANASI."

    Now, my question is if this was the condition, then why didn't the courier company informed me about this procedure beforehand & if my father has to take so much of pain to receive the courier, then what kind of courier service are you providing? FedEx is the worst courier delivery service company I have ever come to know. Is anyone there can help me in filing a harassment and RTI case against this company?

    Fedex and UPS both have a new program where one can pay ($5/box) to have an item delivered on a different, later day than scheduled. I paid Fedex to change delivery for a couple boxes to this Thursday. Unfortunately, their customer service has decided that for some reason a practical joke is in order, and my 'requested delivery' date is showing up as 3/7/1912. When I email them about it, they answer but will not tell me when they are actually going to deliver the package. Poor customer service, and a waste of money. I'll try to call later today, but I think this sort of misbehavior is unacceptable.

    I just wish I could tell companies that ship to me not to use FedEx. I have had the worst time with FedEx and this last time just makes no sense at all. None. My package has been sitting at the leasing office for two days and I didn't know it. I checked my Fedex account and it stated it left a door tag. I don't understand why they had to lie. There was no door tag left, I was home most of the day. It really is a small thing to lie about. The bad thing to me is there is no corporate office to complain to.

    There was an incident about 6 weeks ago that really, really bothered me. I called to set up a pickup from my job for a taxpayer. The Fedex showed up at my home! Why? I don't know. I called, spoke with the rep, gave her the pickup address and she sent them to my home. Calling the 800 number to complain is frustrating and the promise someone will call you back but they haven't. I think that was very dangerous to sent someone to my home which means you are not paying attention to what you are doing. And not being able to report it just puts us at more danger with them. It may be small to some but at any given time my children could be at home. I just wish people would stop using FEDEX. Please.

    Fedex...where if you make a mistake, you don't have to fix it. I paid express shipping to have an item arrive yesterday. The tracking said that it was delivered, but the package was not at my address. (A very simple street address) It took me having 3 phone conversations for someone to find out that the driver delivered to the wrong address. Well, I needed the package at my work last night. The representative told me he was going to talk with a manager and call me back. 2 hours later at 8 PM, I called back and another representative put me on hold for 5 minutes and I had to hang up because I was working.

    It's now the next day and at 11:10 AM I had to call again to find out what they were doing about my package that I paid to have delivered the previous day. Yet another representative told me the driver was going to pick up the package from the wrong address and deliver it today. Which does me no good because I needed it last night and Fedex has now ruined my plans and caused me incredible aggravation and inconvenience with no attempt to fix their mistake. It is 12:20 PM and I am still waiting for someone to call and tell me an ETA for my package today. And if I wait 3-4 days after I finally do receive my package, I can spend more time and aggravation submitting a request for them to consider reimbursing me. Terrible, horrible business. No integrity.

    I have been expecting a package to arrive from FedEx home delivery on today. According to online tracking the package was on the truck for delivery this morning at 7:35 a.m. I cleared my entire day to wait for the signed confirmation delivery I've been waiting on. I opened my front door (glass storm door closed) so that I can see out and be prepared for the delivery. I waited all day and checked the online tracking periodically throughout the day. As it got later and later I checked online at 6pm and it said in transit still on truck. So I continued to wait.

    Rechecked online tracking at 6:42 and it read customer unavailable. What?!? No way!! No driver ever came to my home or to my front door! Yet they recorded they did. Not even a note left at my front door! I called customer service immediately and they were of no help. All I could do was hope the driver would actually come and deliver the next day. I have never been so upset and helpless! FedEx has very dishonest drivers and it is sad for them to do their customers this way. Do not use this service!

    I had a package overnighted to my residence from Texas to Arizona with delivery on Saturday. Just so happens it was Memorial Day weekend as well. I waited all day for the package and when I tracked it, the driver LIED about attempted delivery. I finally picked the package up myself from a distribution center 3 days later. My complaint to FedEx fell on deaf, incompetent ears. It turned into my word against this LIAR that FedEx employs. Why would ANY company with fleet vehicles not have a way of GPS tracking? UPS does. But then again, UPS respects its customers enough to install GPS and not force a he said she said situation. The customer is always right. From now on, ALL of my packages will be shipped through UPS. And I guess an even bigger slap in the face from FedEx to me on Memorial Day, being prior military and all. Shame on you FedEx, I wouldn't trust you to deliver… pick a noun.

Both were not delivered and returned to Namibia due to "insufficient commercial invoice information" despite detailed prior consultation with the local FedEx office regarding required documentation.

    Never use FedEx! I received all these nice emails telling me my package would be delivered by 8:00 pm on Friday. I walk along my road in anticipation waiting for the driver. I see him come out of the street next to mine and drive away. He waits on the side of the road, no doubt sending me an email that my package couldn't be delivered, but I couldn't catch up before he drove out of sight. I get home, read the email and immediately call FedEx to tell them the moron never came down my street. I was there, my spouse was in the house waiting, the driver never came. To what house did he go that he claimed no one was home? What if someone had been home? Would he let anyone sign a name and take my package?

    So they promised to redeliver on Saturday by noon. I'm standing outside talking to my neighbor, no FedEx truck. I check my email, again, the driver claimed no one was home. I was standing right outside my front door! I called them again. They claimed they were going to stop the driver and send him back. They asked me specific direction to my house. They claimed he would be here by 3:00. It is now 5:00. I just got off the phone with them again. They claim they are sending a driver back out with my package. We'll see.

    One would think, living in a massive city, delivery companies would know that if you can't reach the customer in their building, YOU BRING THE BOX TO THE OFFICE!!! Ordered an item online, randomly decided to check the websites tracking information to find out it was scheduled to be delivered that day. Received an email from the seller a few hours later stating that FedEx said they've tried three times to deliver the package but couldn't reach me and no one was available at the complex and I needed to call FedEx before my package was returned to the seller. Spent an extra $5 to set up a delivery for next day between 5 and 8 pm. Sat downstairs waiting, saw 5 FedEx vehicles go by during the 5 o'clock hour, not one stopped.

    Three minutes before 8, as I'm holding the door open for someone, I hear a lady upstairs say my name and that she has a package for me. No labeled FedEx truck in the parking lot. I got upstairs to find a lady in civilian clothes, no delivery person uniform, dropping off my package. Why come in stealth mode? Especially when I saw vehicles in the area at 5? Also after talking to one of the apartment caretakers, they left notices, at a door on the other side of my building, instead of going to the office since most apartments offer package receiving AT THE OFFICE. Thankfully I finally have my order. If I ever have a choice, I will never willingly use FedEx.

I told the FedEx rep that I wanted them to deliver it on Friday, but if I was not at home I would pick it up on Wed. of the next week at the nearest FedEx location, which is 75 minutes from my house.

My daughter and I had not even heard a knock on the door.

    I called FedEx and they said it was not delivered because it was still at the New Bern location and was supposed to be picked up there. Why would a delivery man come by the house and place a tag on the door if he did not have the package? To me it was called "not doing your job." Well, I said I would pick it up on Wed. On Wed I drove 75 minutes to the New Bern FedEx location to get the package. To my dismay the service person there told me that the package had been shipped back on Tues. What a mess!!!

    Everyone is always complaining about the USPS saying they should be out of business, in my honest opinion, it's FedEx that should be out of business.

They are famous for saying they tried and no one was home, and when I have a package coming, I am home. Simple as that.

    I stay and wait on my stuff, yet somehow, amazingly, FedEx says they tried and no one was home. On about 4 different occasions my packages were just lost, no where to be found. And on more occasions than I can count, they said the package had been delivered, but not to my address. They are a joke. I would feel just as confident sending a stranger to deliver my packages. Never use FedEx if you have a choice, and most of the time you will have a choice if you speak with customer service while placing your order.
