    I ordered a Samsung tablet which was delivered via FedEx. Unfortunately Samsung requires a signature for their deliveries, and the delivery driver did not leave any notice of attempts. After checking the tracking information to see why it had taken so long for shipment, I saw that FedEx had sent the package back to Samsung. I never had the chance to reschedule a delivery or pick it up at a facility as I never knew that the package had arrived. Terribly unprofessional customer service.

    Unbelievable customer service. Customer service is only an oxymoron when you are speaking about Fedex. I recently had surgery and ordered medical supplies being shipped via fedex. I paid extra so I would have them. I had noticed that for whatever reason Fedex was not delivering to my address and instead delivering to a separate address at the leasing office. So, I called fedex because I do not presently have access to my leasing office. I asked what I needed to do to make certain delivery came to my door. I spoke with a guy that told me to register on the Fedex site and fill out a preference form, which I did. He told me he sent an email to the manager and it was taken care of.

    Regardless they delivered my package to the leasing office. When I tried to remedy this, I was lectured about policy and procedure. They can't drop anything off at your residence if it is an apartment. They don't care if you are ill - there are policies and procedures. When I called the executive office, the woman I spoke with told me if I sent an email to Fred Smith the President of Fedex, she would get it and there was nothing else that could be done. Well, there is one thing to be done. ORDER FROM UPS FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

    I sent two small supplement boxes to Turkey. They didn't inform me that a prescription is needed by the customs of Turkey. So the customs of Turkey seized the package. After several callings somebody from FedEx called me last week and said "we are going to return back the shipment for free and will give you back the credit of shipping costs." After one week nothing happened till today that I called them to update me.

    Surprisingly was told that I have two choices: either I can request to return back my package which I have to pay again (I think the cost of shipping + their broker costs to take the package from customs of Turkey) or I can request to destroy my shipment and there is no guarantee that they will pay back my money!!! I had purchased my items in a promotion and now even their values are almost twice!

    On two separate incidents items were left on the porch. The first item was a work debit card and, the second was a phone. The deal is he never rings the door bell and there is someone at home at all times during the day! The first item I had no idea it had come and just happened to see an envelope on the porch. The phone I knew had been shipped and had someone watching for it throughout the day. It was found on the porch. I would appreciate it the driver would please make an effort to do his job correctly.

    Paid $25.75 on Monday for an important document to get to my client overnight. He lives 220 miles from me. Next day, FedEx's tracking site revealed the envelope packet was still in Memphis (1200 miles away) and clearly was not going to get its destination overnight. We called FedEx, CS was rude and non-cooperative. I made alternate arrangements for the document to get to my client a day later. FedEx finally delivered the envelope on Thursday and charged the credit card $25.75 for delivery. I disputed payment and told my credit card company to pitch FedEx a shutout. My credit card company wants to pay FedEx something. I went to a lot of extra trouble and expense when they failed to get it there overnight as per our agreement. They should get $0.00, whether they uselessly delivered the envelope three days later or not.

    I wish there were an option for none stars to rate my horrible experience! I paid for international priority shipment and my package is being handled as a non-priority. When I went to the FedEx office to ask how long will it take for the package get to its destination, they offered me 2 options: the first one, "the following Monday" and the second one "the following Wednesday", in other words 8 days or 10 days. Anyway, I didn't hesitate to choose the first option, even though it was ridiculously expensive because I really needed that package to be there as soon as possible. There is a big chaos going on in my country right now and it's almost impossible to find even the most basic stuff you can think of such as food, medicines, you name it.

    With that in mind I went to the FedEx office, thinking that because supposedly they have a "good service" and they charge you an arm and a leg for it, my package would be delivered without any problems. The reality is 5 days after the "estimate delivery time" my package is still stuck somewhere in Puerto Rico and every time I call to FedEx to get some answers, I just get lied at time and time again. It's impossible to get to talk to a supervisor because according to the customer reps they are too busy.

    Bottom line, I was dead wrong with FedEx. I feel deceived, frustrated and ripped off, paying for a service that I didn't get. The reason I'm posting this is because I don't want anybody else to go through this nightmare anymore. I hope this can help somebody. Please DON'T use FedEx ever. Their international service is awful and you don't get what you pay for. It is so frustrating. The content of my package is just gauze pads for my cousin who's at the hospital and my family cannot find them anywhere. Now, FedEx wants me to think that this little package is been stuck in Puerto Rico since Friday just waiting for clearance. Really? Seriously???

    I paid $73 to have a package delivered overnight. I don't think anyone would want to pay $73 for overnight delivery just for the fun of it, not unless they need it by the next day. I received no email stating doing to whether FedEx was not operating. To remind you UPS was running US Postal Service was running and our garbage man was running, oh no not Fedex. And to tell you, the weather was not that bad.

    I then called FedEx and the customer representative told me that the package was at the Raleigh location which was 20 minutes from my home. I did not get an email with any option to go pick up my package. To remind you I overnight it for a reason. The faculty where the package was at closed at 5 PM, by the time I found out where it was, it was too late they already closed, and my package was supposed to be delivered by 10:30 am. Don't you think I should have received an email with the option of picking the package up?

    So the representative told me that the package will be delivered by 10:30 am the next day. I told The representative if my package was not going to be deliver by 10:30 AM I would rather go pick it up myself, then she assured me my package will arrive by 10:30 AM. I called at 9 AM the next day customer service told me the package will arrive by 12 noon. I told her that was not what the representative told me yesterday.

    She said the representative could not have told me it would be there by 10:30 AM because they were not allowed to do that. And yet the customer service representative told me the reason they cannot put a definite time on the tracking website was because they were behind on deliveries since six weeks ago. So you still charge $73 for overnight shipping received by 10:30 AM but knowing that the package was not going to be delivered by 10:30 AM the next day. Not trustworthy company, not dependable. Next time I will definitely use US Postal Service or UPS.

    I scheduled a FedEx pickup last week (my confirmation #: **). Nobody showed up. Next day I called the call center and explained them the situation; they told me they would come that day. Again, nobody showed up and called for the notice. Then, I left the package in a FedEx box. Now, I am trying to track it. Apparently, it is lost. Yes, I am super angry!

    I was expecting a package. Scheduled delivery date was Friday. I noticed that the apartment number was missing so at 7:30 am I left a notice downstairs by the front door for FedEx to ring my bell or my neighbor's bell for the package. I called Customer Service to try and have the apartment number added on. The rep told me it could still be delivered without it. I waited all day and...nothing. So at 5:30 pm I called FedEx again the rep told me delivery men are usually out making deliveries up until 8 pm. She "attached the apartment number to the package and also called the station so that the station can notify the driver of the apartment." This was at 5:40 pm. I tracked the package at 7 pm and it stated that the package was unable to be delivered due to missing apartment number.

    Once again I'm on the phone with FedEx and at this point I need to speak to a supervisor. I clearly explained all of my efforts and even brought to her attention that I had posted a note, so if the driver would have even made the attempt to deliver the package he would have seen it and rung my bell. I told her this package was urgent and I needed it by Friday. She said the truck was back at the station already (which clearly meant the driver wanted to go home early on Friday). Supervisor says the best she can do is have it out for re-delivery on Saturday. I say, "Ok." Let me also add I stayed home from work Friday for this package and now I'm staying home from work Saturday as well. Saturday came and went and there was no package. Once again I stay home from work yet another day.

    I contact FedEx Monday morning to see what was going on, The rep stated the package was placed on a truck Friday for delivery for Monday, not for delivery Saturday...if I didn't received my package by end of day, to call back and file a complaint. My package was delivered Monday early evening and the driver tells me he did not get the notice for the apartment until Monday. No longer ordering from companies that ship with FedEx!

    OK so this is not the first time this has happened. I knew my package was being delivered but the Fedex driver didn't knock or ring the doorbell and I opened my door to discover my package outside my door. Is this Fedex usual practice because anyone passing could take a package off my door steps. They need to educate their lazy drivers.

    Tracking ** Claim ** - Today I received a letter from this department saying the claim above was denied and asking for more pictures if I wanted to reopen the case. First of all, is not a matter of reopen the case, is a matter of FEDEX doing its job properly. I filled the claim form with the address where the broken item is, the name and phone of the person who is holding the item in order to allow FEDEX to verify "in loco" the damaged it caused and FEDEX did not.

    The item in question is a 1840 table made in SOLID WOOD that was shipped very well packed inside a U-HAUL moving box with "fragile" stickers all over and arrows showing the correct position to transport it. Everything were ignored by FEDEX. The only way this table could be broken it was if FEDEX didn't follow the signs and transported it horizontally and putting heavy packages over it (that is clear in the photos sent). So, instead of doing the proper transportation and after breaking the item take responsibility for it is easier to blame the customer for "poor packaging".

    In the end I lost the item, the client, the money I spent in shipping and insurance. FEDEX just lost for now my personal and business account and gains all the negative referral that I can give to my friends and customers. In fact I don't know if is a general incompetence of all personnel involved in the process or is an intentional "incompetence" in order not to pay the claim.

    After retrieving the last few items I was unfortunate enough to receive through FedEx at nearby neighbors houses. Now it seems they have dropped an important package off and have no idea to whom or even where they dropped it off. After searching the neighborhood they tell me the driver can not remember where he left it. Mind you this was only an hour and a half after they say it was dumped off. I had been vigilantly waiting for the truck because of mishaps. In the past there was no sign of any truck on my 2 block long street the entire day. Anyone who uses them to ship to their clients is resigning them to an inferior and inept service.

    I ordered some tickets for DAYTONA 500 for 2/22/15. They left the shipper on 2/12. Plenty of time right? Wrong if you ship FedEx. They arrived in Knoxville TN Sat 2/15 with a ETA of Tues 2/17. Knowing a storm would be coming in a few days you would assume a company would try to get ahead of it. You have it deliver it early or not. Storm comes thru no delivery, I gave them that I work for USPS and things were hard on us but we delivered. Thursday I was starting to panic called FedEx and their customer service said someone at the Knoxville location would contact me. Fri morn no response yet.

    I called back and they connected me with someone who was suppose to be in Knoxville Tennessee who asked what I wanted them to do. I told her to have them get it off the truck since she couldn't guarantee it would get to me that day and we had to leave to get to Daytona that day and we would pick it up at their location. Done deal right? Wrong.. got all the way there 55 miles only to find out they never took it off the truck and it was out for possible delivery. We had to have them contact the driver and track his location and hunt him down to get our pkg or we were going to be out $300. I try real hard not to order anything if I know it will ship FedEx. From now on I refuse to give them my business. Unprofessional customer service and will just make up excuses for the drivers.

    Both Fedex and the US Postal Service often fail to drive the short distance to our front door to deliver packages. Instead they leave them at the mouth of the driveway or deliver to another address entirely. I have had an untold number of packages left at the post office across the street without a note. They just get returned without anyone bring accountable. Customer service attitudes are obviously beyond caring. They sound burnt out. I'm sure they hear nothing good. I'm sick of it.

    Today is February 20th 2015. I finally got my package that was being delivered by FedEx over a week ago. I got a call back 2/11/2015 from a FedEx rep to get clarification of where I live. I gave the clearest instructions that even a monkey could follow, and they stated that I would get my package that day. The following day I called and was assured that it would be delivered 2/12/15 which it never did. Again I called the following day 2/13/15 and I got the excuse that the driver "got lost" and would be delivered that day, never did. 2/14/15 I call up and was told very rudely "we don't do home deliveries Saturday through Monday" so I called Tuesday 2/17/15 again excuses start flying about bad weather etc and how it is businesses that get their packages first but was assured that I would get it that day, never happened.

    2/18/15 I call again and again was told "Yes I'll make sure you get it today" nothing. 2/19/15 again I call and was told "I'll call the driver and make it a priority for today" again nothing. 2/20/15 I decide to call the 800 number talk to a regular customer service rep and told her a few things just to show how angry I was which prompted her to get the supervisor on the line, he thought he could calm me down but instead got the full wrath which included "I better have this package today no later than 1:30 pm if the time is 1:31 pm I will assure you that I will get a lawyer make you pay for the merchandise which is about $200 and still deliver the package, you can take your empathy and apologies and shove it because I can care less. It has been over a week now, I paid to get it here faster but ended up slower than the USPS. Next time I'll do business with UPS."

    It shook up the supervisor enough that he ended up calling that branch while I was on hold and made them get that driver out to me before the 1:30 pm deadline I set on them. Well that driver was here at my place at 12:02 pm and began telling me how she was new to the route to which I responded "I don't care all I've heard is one excuse after another you should use a GPS if you don't know your way around. It's common sense which is obviously something you are lacking."

    FedEx does not provide efficient customer service. I requested full notification of the status of my package via their website. I waited for a guarantee delivery of 3 pm until 6 pm. I received no notice and after calling, a so-called weather delay was given as the source of the non-delivery even though it had arrived at the distribution center the night before and went out for delivery in the morning. The package was returned to the facility before 6 pm. I spoke with customer service and since the facility is only a few blocks away, I offered to pick up the package. She stated that once it was unloaded, I could pick it up which could take two hours. I waited and called to check the status, still no notification via their website and was told that I could not pick up the package because it would not be unloaded from the truck. Very disappointing and I personally will not choose FedEx as an overnight delivery service.

    Three times in past 6 months FedEx overnight delivery has been a two day delivery and only after many phones calls to FedEx. Memphis location cannot handle shipments and every time they have blamed it on the weather, even when there are no weather issues anywhere along the route. The truth is they do not get it processed or load it on the planes in Memphis. Having an account for years I have only seen this unreliabilty this past year. They look and grab at any excuse for their failures.

    One time we had a pick up for overnight delivery and the FedEx driver claimed the package wasn't there. It was a suitcase and plain to see on the security cameras. But in his haste he didn't bother to look that the suitcase held a FedEx shipping label even though it was the only item at the pick up address. They are no longer an overnight delivery service. This latest pkg is in the city now, 15 minutes away but they won't deliver it now even though it was their failure not to deliver it this morning or this afternoon. It was contracted to be delivered this morning.

    My wife's Valentine gift was shipped via FedEx. Because the shipper could not find my home address in their database, the gift was shipped instead to the local Post Office, which closes at noon on Saturdays (Val Day fell on a Sat this year). When I discovered this problem, I phoned FedEx and asked them to divert the gift to my nearby home address (FedEx has delivered many packages there so I knew that they were able to find the location). I spoke to FIVE different FedEx agents during the day in Salvador, Dominican Republic, El Paso TX, Georgia, and finally a member of their "consumer advocate team" in Bristol VA. named "Kim".

    Two of the agents PROMISED to divert the gift to my home where my wife was waiting for the package (I am on travel away from home), however, despite FIVE phone calls, the package was never delivered and is now at the local FedEx office which is closed until Monday. FedEx (Kim) REFUSED to provide me with the phone at the local office!!! A friendly FedEx agent phoned my wife in the afternoon and told her the package would be delivered to our home. Nothing arrived. Kim's "best" excuse was that the FedEx computer system that showed the address change was not compatible with the computer at the local station. She had to read the address from her screen to the person at the local station (who was about to leave for the weekend). What kind of company can't sync or coordinate its computer system.

    In addition, I was kept on hold during one of the calls for almost an hour while being exposed to some of the worst hold music ever. Some years ago, I used to depend on a then reliable FedEx to deliver my product. Their service and esp. the customer service have declined a great deal. UPS now seems more reliable and I have even received reasonable service from Express Mail!! Perhaps my valentine package will arrive on Monday - Kim couldn't even advocate for morning delivery when I asked for this minor remedy.

I did not see the package. I have camera at the front door, when anyone comes, I get an email with picture with time stamps. I explained to FedEx that I do not have the package and no email was received around 2:11 PM on Feb 11, 2015. This is a proof that the driver must have misdelivered it. FedEx said the delivery driver would contact them and they would let me know.

    On Feb 13, driver came by and kept insisting where he left the package. The camera is right on the top from that location. I showed him the camera and showed him how I get the email from any activities that happen at the front door. Despite that, the driver told FedEx he delivered it at the right location. FedEx calls me and closes the case simply because the driver stated he delivered at the right location, despite my camera explanation.

    THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE, I HEAR ABOUT THESE THINGS, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME. I don't think FedEx cares; they just don't like to admit their fault, and could care less about the consumer. Indirectly they are admitting, I am NOT being honest, but driver is, despite camera explanation. From this website, it looks like there are several other people having the same issues with FexEx.

    I have delivered packages for FedEx for 16 years. It was great when I started, but it has gone down the toilet. Management doesn't care, all they care about is that the package has left the terminal and it's not their problem anymore. They only care about their numbers and their bonus. There is no teamwork between them and the drivers. I like what I do, delivering to customers and try to take care of my customers, but management has made the job harder than what it is and tell you that you are doing the job wrong when they themselves have never gotten behind the wheel and delivered 100 plus stops, I can barely have a conversation with customers.

    It's sad to see so many unhappy customers and it all falls back on POOR management. The only way to get anywhere with them is to say you're going to contact the Wall Street Journal and the stockholders. Prime example, my mom shipped a painting from Kentucky to Florida. FEDEX Office said they would package it properly and it was in good hands. She unfortunately didn't get with me first, I would have told not to ship FedEx. The painting was destroyed and FedEx was only going to give her $100 dollars for the painting. I told her to call them back and raise hell and say that she was going to contact Wall Street Journal and the stockholders. FedEx changed their tune and gave her $500.

    FedEx is so inconsistent, they make up rules and follow them for a few weeks, then it changes. You ask management a question, you get three different answers from three different people. Wake up FedEx, it's not all about your numbers and bonuses. Without your customers, there is NO FedEx. CUSTOMERS are our number one priority, they pay our checks. As long as our customers are satisfied, that's all that matters. I hope one day FedEx will return to the great company it once was, but I doubt it.

    I am so livid! I ordered a pair of boots on sale 60% off from Neiman Marcus. I received an order number from NM as well as a delivery date of 11 Feb 2015. That was great. I was going out of town for a few days from Feb 4th and would be back on the 8th February, well in time to stay home for my package to arrive. I got home on Sunday night, checked emails and there was a FedEx delivery notification in my email advising the package was delivered 6 days early on the 5th February. No package. I looked all around the yard, asked neighbors, nothing. My husband was home that day and said nothing was delivered and he would have heard the doorbell or knock at the door, but FedEx did NOT deliver anything. I called Neiman Marcus immediately and told them. They said FedEx would contact me the next day. I was told a claim would be filed and someone would contact me.

    Yesterday the FedEx manager for the area came to the door. He said it was odd because the delivery was not in his handheld scanner and he did not recall my house, but also said he delivers over 100 deliveries per day so maybe he 'forgot' what my house looks like. I cannot get another pair of those boots, they were the very last pair. My credit card was charged $530 and FedEx are not helpful,. It's like they don't care and shrugged it off as 'maybe lost'. I just want my boots.

    This is a good neighborhood and in 10 years NOTHING I have ordered was ever stolen. Luckily I have the order confirmation with approximate delivery date of 11 Feb from NM as well as my air ticket and airport parking receipt proving I was out of town. I'm also shocked that Neiman Marcus did not ship with a signature delivery request for an item so expensive. Lousy, LOUSY service.

    Ordered a pair of shoes from Bradford Exchange on 12/12/14, FedEx took possession of the package on 12/14/14. Package made it to Idaho on 12/17/14 then on 12/31/14 FedEx finally contacted USPS but THEY NEVER DID DELIVER THE PACKAGE TO USPS. I have contacted Bradford Exchange and the earliest that they can ship replacement is 6/15/15 which means they could arrive sometime before July if sent by any other carrier or never if shipped via FedEx. Tracking number still shows FedEx has custody of the package (in transit) and USPS confirms it was never delivered to them.

    FedEx has not been helpful at all, they even sent a form letter saying "your package was handed off to USPS on {Insert Date} and delivered to you on {Insert Date and Time}". They also told me that the tracking number was a USPS tracking number and that they showed it was delivered even though it is a FedEx tracking number and their system still shows they have custody of it on 2/9/15. They have not offered an apology and have not offered any form of compensation. These shoes have been paid for 2 months ago but I have to wait at least another 4 months for them to arrive. FedEx will not even let you file a claim for a package that is lost even when their own computer proves the case. FedEx does not even have an automated tracking kickback system in their computer to notify them that they lost a package, the only way you will find out is if you look for it and I got concerned after 6 weeks and found it out myself.

    FedEx should have contacted either the shipper or the receiver long before that and been pro active but they were not. They only had one job to do (deliver the package) and they failed miserably. If someone tries to ship you a "surprise" package through FedEx you might not ever know because if they lose it they will never contact you, even if they did they would not apologize or offer you any compensation for your loss. On a scale of 1 through 10, I rate FedEx a 0.

    FedEx seems unable to deliver packages when they say they will. They have hauled packages addressed to me on their trucks up to 5 days without delivering. When they do deliver it is sometimes to a wrong address. They have thrown boxes over a six foot fence (it was a box of dishes) at the wrong house, they have claimed a new driver couldn't find my address. Maybe they need to follow UPS. UPS can find me! FedEx service in the Tulsa OK area is lousy.

    Can I file a lawsuit against FedEx for taking too long to deliver my package? I mailed a package on January 5, 2015 and it still hasn't been delivered. I spent $110.00 to mail it to United Kingdom. They are just now asking for $245.00 in custom fees, etc. This is a small item I purchased on eBay. I was mailing it back to seller because it was a counterfeit. Paypal said they would refund my money once this package is delivered. Now Feb. 8, 2015, Paypal is saying case closed, out of time, done. So now I'm out the refund of $850.00, the amount to mail it $110.00 and in customs $245.00. All because FedEx hasn't delivered in a timely manner.

    If I could rate lower, I definitely would. I mean, is there such a thing as negative stars? They should make it purely because of FedEx. My brother sent me a package, he lives maybe an hour and a half away. This package did not go from him to me (an hour and a half's time), it went from him to Minneapolis (6 hours away) THEN it went to me. Really? FedEx can't be more organized? That's not even the worst part..

    I did not have the tracking number because my brother did not provide it to me, once I did receive it they "attempted" to delivery on Friday. I received NO note at all. Nothing. The SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY. How lazy and inconsiderate can these FedEx drivers be? Not to knock, not to leave a note? There was nothing. Now I have to take time from my day to pick it up. My brother could have just drove it to me and it would've been worth it so we wouldn't have to deal with FedEx. I honestly think they should go out of business and I'm a reasonable person. They're ridiculous. At least the one where I live.

    Sent a package to my daughter's house. I have sent numerous packages via UPS, FedEx Ground and USPS, but sent this last one FedEx Ground. We have never had any problems, until this last time. She has a covered porch with a wall that blocks any hint of a package being delivered. Package was stated to be delivered but no package was ever delivered. Filled out the tedious claim form and it was immediately denied due that no signature was required. Basically, the driver has no responsibility when there is no signature, even though your package has a default amount of $100 value. We were told to fill out another claim form to see if they would reconsider. This is a huge company that does not stand behind its product. I have used this company in the past for other shipments, but after dealing with all of this red tape and lack of customer service, I will NEVER use them again.

    In all fairness to FedEx and despite my previous review, I finally received my mis-delivered pkg today. 1/26/15. I'm not sure if FedEx fixed this or if the person to whom it was delivered to in error finally realized it was not theirs and delivered it to my apartment this morning. Either way I'm grateful to whomever was responsible getting my pkg to me. I'm still waiting for FedEx to call me today with a follow up like the agent said they would; but nothing yet. It is now 3:10 pm PST so we'll see if I receive a later call.

    Original Review: Jan. 23, 2015

    I tracked a package I was expecting delivery on 22 Jan 2015 and it was supposedly delivered at 11:36 am that morning. I never got it. I called FedEx and being the first time I've had to deal with FedEx, the first agent was very helpful as was the second agent that called me later that evening. They said they would contact the driver and I should receive a call from him the next morning; 23 Jan 2015. That call never came. Later that morning, I called FedEx and explained my situation and gave the agent my case #. She assured me that she would notify the driver (who was responsible for delivering my package) and have him call me. I gave her my telephone number and it is now 3:15 PST and I'm still waiting for the driver to call me.

    If my package was mis-delivered, The FedEx driver will probably never admit to it nor does FedEx have a clue where my delivery ended up. I'm going to chalk this mishap up to ignorance, dishonesty and very poor management. Plus I live in a large senior apartment complex so if my package was mis-delivered to the wrong apartment; shame on you for not being honest enough to return it to me. I'm out 60 bucks.

    Medicine from Texcare pharmacy is shipped thru Fedex. Fedex driver tossed package over fence to dogs. Dogs destroyed medicine and package. After repeated calls to Texcare and Fedex, it took over a month to get medicine. Fedex has tossed packages over the fence to the dogs at least 3 different times. First time was a bunch of AAA size flashlight batteries. I found them dog chewed and scattered. Lucky dogs didn't sicken or die. Another time, I caught a foreigner who didn't even speak decent English in marked Fedex truck in the act of throwing a package over the fence while dogs are near fence barking. When I griped them out about the medicine, they put my delivery on super slow, then left two notices on beware of dog sign. Both notices were backdated 2-3 days. Drivers make no effort to ring bell or make any noise, just quietly run up, stick notice up and run off. I ended up getting medicine delivered to doctor's office over a month late.

FedEx has been giving me the runaround for 3 days and I haven't even seen a real person yet and I guess that's how they operate. I still have no package which was dog food anyway.

Our package was on the truck for delivery (watched tracking) and instead we get an e-mail in the LATE AFTERNOON saying there was a "delivery exception" due to weather. Oh my, it rained all day yesterday... are you kidding me!

    Instead of being delivered, the package was taken back to the FEDEX hub! Called this morning to find out where the heck my package was and was told it would be delivered today, however the CS person could not tell me what time because the "driver" had never delivered to our area. So now I will bet that my package will be sitting SOMEWHERE on my property (in the rain), getting destroyed! FEDEX ground RARELY EVER delivers to our door... instead it's like hunting for Easter eggs when a package is delivered. Wish we could determine what companies only use FEDEX and NEVER do business with them again. Unfortunately, it's not until the order ships that you know who is delivering! SAD, SAD company!

    This is an ongoing problem with the Sewickley PA FedEx. They knock lightly once on my urban apt. building which has no doorbell and no door tag is left. They have my phone number but never call. Many people have complained but FedEx doesn't care. Last year the driver claimed he left 2 door tags, which of course he didn't. I checked those numbers for the Sept. 2014 delivery. They were expired tag numbers from April and July at a time when I was out of the state from April to August and didn't place any orders!!!

    Now this week I placed an order with Macy's and unfortunately they chose FedEx and this time it originated from the Leetsdale PA office, which is just as horrible. They knocked lightly (if at all) and left no door tag and never called me even though my number was in the delivery instructions. When they do show up they park on my side of the building and I can't see the truck with the off-street parking.

    I emailed customer service over a dozen times and even got on live chat. They of course gave phony apologies and excuses, then said they'd call that office's dispatcher and make sure all drivers knew to call me and knock loudly on the building so at least people downstairs would hear. I have to stand by my front window since 8:30 a.m. and attempt to see the truck every few minutes for hours, like I have nothing to do. Today, the third day in a row of this nonsense (Jan. 21st), the same thing happened again!!! The driver put a door tag on the tracking page but there was none left outside. And no one heard any knock. It makes me wonder if he even showed up and just put a tag number online to make it look good so he could go elsewhere.

    Live chat was no help, just full of excuses as always. I canceled a doctor's appt so I could be home for this delivery, and now they're "attempting" delivery a fourth day in a row when I rescheduled my appt and will not cancel this time for nothing! They said I could pick it up somewhere else. The only way I can do that is take the bus downtown then walk 15 minutes back to the bus stop with my package, assuming it isn't too big for me. I'm not doing that in 30-degree weather and cold snow and shouldn't have to. I refused, then they said I could schedule a date and time when I'll be home. Hello, is this ON??? What good would that do when the horrible drivers don't knock so anyone can hear and won't call my number to say they're out front - if they show up at all???

    This unacceptable service and worthless customer service is what we get!!! This is why I try to avoid online retailers who ship by FedEx, but wasn't aware that Macy's would be doing this to me when their website states they also ship by UPS - a reliable, professional carrier. But they didn't give me a choice. I'll be contacting them and telling them I want a refund and will never order from them again. FedEx's Facebook page is an even bigger joke. They ignore complaints and won't respond.

Then I have asked him provide me a receipt stating that I have paid the said amount, then again he say that he is not authorized to give so. Leave this.

    Funny thing is that my product invoice is of $179 but Fedex receipt showed to me is of $225, I could not understand how come they can claim any amount. He has charged me BCD (Basic Customs Duty) [10%]+ CVD (Countervailing Duty/Additional Duty of Customs) [12%]+ EDU.CESS (Education Cess) [3%] + SAD (Special Additional Duty) [4%] = 28.85%. Here above: the funny thing, I could not understand how these fellows have added EDU.CESS, where my product does not belong to any educational department.

    Here, if I am charged with CVD, I am not supposed to get charged with any of such.

I knew that the latter was not the case because I know that address by heart. So I called FedEx and asked for help.

I told them that was the FedEx-generated reference number and I didn't have any other one. Like a broken record, the girl repeated several times it was not the right number and I should give her the correct number! Federal Express could not find their own tracking number!

    Then I was transferred to their "Web Support" division and a woman with an African-American accent tried to help me generate the shipping documents all over again but she did not know the difference between an "Exporter" and an "Importer" so the communication broke down again. I called FedEx again later on and still they could not find the tracking number or my package, so they told me I should go to the drop-off location (where they simply accepted the package to be passed on to FedEx!) and asked them for clarification; well, by then that location was closed.

    So I called back on Sunday the 11th. This time, a man with an Indian accent answered the phone, took down the tracking number and said he was going to put me on hold for 2-3 minutes to research and come back. 45 minutes later I was still holding before he came to tell me he was still searching and put me on hold for another 12-14 minutes, but only to come back and tell me that he could not find the tracking number and any trace of my shipment! I told him that I can see the tracking number and shipment on their website, but I was told they can't see it and I should call the next day.

    So I called again on Monday the 12th and at first I was told that they could not find the number or the shipment, but then she said she located it and the person in charge of the international shipments won't be in until 2 pm and that I will receive a call from her. That person, Aylsa ** called me and said I need to generate specific commercial invoices and I should go on FedEx.com and do that, and then print and e-mail them to her. She said she couldn't guide me step-by-step and I should call FedEx and ask for help. So I did, and I was transferred to their support division.

    Once again I got a female with an African-American accent who started telling me how to fill out a form but she, too, was uncertain about some entries and gave me incorrect instructions, so she winged it. But then there was no commercial invoice there to print and as it turned out, she had guided me through generating a return label instead of a commercial invoice! At that point, I asked her if I could go to the location where the package is and just pick it up and ship it otherwise... she said she had no idea what I was asking her! I had to repeat and rephrase my question three times until she grasped what I was asking and then said she supposed I could, she didn't know. So I called Aylsa and asked her to set the package aside so I could go there and pick it up the next day.

    This package was supposed to be in Canada on Wednesday January 14th, but it is still sitting in FedEx facilities in Lorton, Virginia at this very moment! Federal Express has wasted my time and frustrated me to no end with their ludicrous system and a whole caboodle of genuinely unskilled staff members who don't seem to know their left hand from their right. I am so disgusted and outraged by this total squalid and totally unacceptable performance and service.

    I will NOT ever use Fedex again for any shipping for personal or business use. I was extremely let down with the customer service of Fedex. I would also NEVER recommend them to anyone. I was met with several rude customer service reps right off the bat when trying to schedule a pick up at our location for an international shipment.

    First off I scheduled a pick up and he showed up late the first time and I was in a meeting, didn't show up AT ALL the second time and the third time he was late AGAIN when I was in a meeting. Now the FOURTH time I am waiting AGAIN for the late driver now several hours late. I do not have time to sit around and wait for him to take his time.

    Customer Service cannot do anything for you if you don't have a tracking number. Although their delivery driver picked our package up and took it with him, with no one on premise and left no tracking #. They did not have proper information to ship the international shipment so instead of returning to us right away, they waited a week until I had to call customer service to try and find the package. I find out it has been sitting in the station, and was told our number is disconnected which it is not. Either way our address is the same so why was it not automatically returned to us? Instead it was thrown on a shelf and forgotten about.

    When I call customer service I am met with a lot of dead ends, for myself and the person on the other end of the phone. First they tell me it is impossible for the driver to take a package without anyone on site without a label (yet he did) and then they are unable to track any package that does not have a tracking # (Yet he did not leave information for us).

    The professional level of this driver is slim to none and the company itself is doing nothing to cure the disappointed I have for Fedex. Our customer is in need of this package and now we are weeks behind because FEDEX cannot get it together. I ask for compensation to our customer (who is paying for the shipping) for the EXTREME delay on receiving the package they have already purchased, I am met with the "we can not do anything to help you." This will be the last time I use fedex for any of our shipping needs. We need a carrier that will get our package to the customer on time, that actually own a watch and can show up for a scheduled pick up on time.

    My dad died just before Thanksgiving (my mom passed about 3 years ago), and one of the items in their house that I wanted to have is a beautifully and intrinsically hand-carved wooden swan that they had purchased when they lived in Hong Kong. It was about 15 pounds, and about 2 feet in length. I took the swan and a few other small items to Pak Mail in Seneca SC to have them shipped to me at home, and I emphasized to Andrew at Pak Mail how fragile this swan was in particular. The wood itself was not fragile but the long swan neck could be broken if it was abused. Andrew assured me that they would pack the shipment with the utmost care and ensure its safe delivery. The shipping alone was about $185. I insured the shipment for $200, thinking that even if the swan arrived slightly damaged, it should be able to be repaired by a good woodworker for about that amount.

    The box arrived more than a week later, a HUGE box, about 4 feet by 3 feet by 2 feet, and upon opening the box, which was very full of Styrofoam peanuts and bubble wrap, the wooden swan's neck had been broken. It was a clean break. I called Pak Mail, who asked me to go get an estimate from a local woodworker. I did so and sent him the estimate (under $200), where his instructions were that I should wait to hear from him and he would file a claim with FedEx. I sent him pictures of the broken swan, as well as pictures of the box which showed no external visible damage.

    Several days later, a FedEx truck came to my house, and the driver asked to pick up the broken swan. What? I did not know he was coming. Nobody had said anything to me about this. I told the FedEx driver that I did not have the box anymore, and questioned him about whether or not the swan could be transported safely. He thought for a moment, then said that FedEx "does this all the time" and that he would ensure its safety. Although not offered, I would not let him take the swan without a receipt, so he (grudgingly) gave me a receipt with a claim number.

    I called Pak Mail and told them about this. Andrew was upset since he said he had specifically told FedEx “NOT” to pick up the swan, but he said since I did not know any better nor had been told anything differently, it would be ok. Not having heard anything from FedEx a week later, I called FedEx to inquire about the status of the swan, since I wanted to go ahead and get it repaired at the woodworker who had given me the estimate. After being transferred several times, I was told that the swan "had been damaged beyond recognition, and FedEx had DISPOSED of it". What?? DISPOSED OF IT? That was NOT their call and what about the driver who said he could transport it safely?? The FedEx supervisor took my statement to file a complaint against the driver but I knew in my heart that that would go nowhere.

    Talking and emailing with Linda ** of FedEx (who apparently is the FedEx contact for Pak Mail), she finally told me after several more weeks that FedEx would take no responsibility for this, and that since the insurance claim for $200 had been paid (and Pak Mail also felt bad enough about this to refund the $185 paid for shipping), that they would close this case. I told her repeatedly that even if one were to ignore the tremendous sentimental value of a very special item owned by my recently deceased parents, several Google searches showed that purchasing a replacement equivalent piece would be $500-$1000.

    FedEx has demonstrated their willful destruction of personal property, their negligence in handling it properly, their unwarranted decision to DISPOSE OF IT (their exact words), and their unwillingness to do anything about it. Is that the kind of company YOU want to use to ship items that have ANY value to you at all? For me in the future, no way.

Company customer service and management says they can't be responsible for damaged items received. Furious that they are a shipping company that won't take responsibility for fragile items received in condition they were in and the boxes shipped in looking like they'd been through the mill. WARNING: do not ship your fragile items with this shipper. I won't use them for anything.

    A signature is not required for a small shipment from Macy's, but the driver will not leave the package on my covered front porch. First attempt I was surprised that the package was not left since no sig. required. Second ALLEGED attempt was on New Year's Eve, where I waited all morning for the package, only to track the package and see that he CLAIMS he was here while I was still home. He lied, as he was not here. I called and told them that it is OK to leave the package on the porch, and also informed them that the driver falsely logged a delivery attempt (for which they seemed entirely indifferent). Third attempt was early in the morning, but knowing that I left instructions to leave the package, I didn't bother to drop what I was doing and answer the door. Guess what? No package. I called again and asked why he didn't follow my instructions. CS rep. says "It is up to the driver's discretion to leave the package." I asked what criteria drivers use, and she said, "At his discretion." I don't even know what that means. In 15 years at this home, NO carriers has EVER refused to leave a package, including Fed Ex! What is Fed Ex up to? They are intentionally failing deliveries in order to get sender's to pay for a re-ship?? Something is not right here. I had to call Macy's and ask for a re-ship.

NO delivery attempt as I was home all day waiting for arrival! Called customer service about 7:30 and got 5 or 6 unacceptable responses ie: driver must have had an emergency, truck problems, he was too busy to finish (2 hours early, that was a head scratcher), etc, etc...THEN about 30 minutes later I see on the tracking site that not one but TWO delivery exceptions appear for the same time 5:00. That was obviously after I called customer service to ask why it was returned to the facility. Funny, I sure as heck didn't request a different delivery. Maybe the practice of hiring independent contractors as delivery drivers as to not pay benefits, they should realize that you get what you pay for.

I called to change that and they would not. I also asked that they give me a deliver time for 12/24. They told me it would be after 4pm, likely. They came at 1:30 when, again, I was not here and would not leave the package. I then called and asked for a 2nd attempt. They said the driver would likely make it back and they would call w/in two hours. I called them after 3 hours and was informed I would have to drive to their office to pick up the package.

    As I am leaving town tomorrow, this is incredibly inconvenient and defeats the purpose of overnight delivery. Their customer "advocate" simply said, "Sorry. Nothing we can do." No attempts to fix, offers to deliver in the morning or offers to eat the cost of the delivery. I was even told they cannot follow up with second attempts and apologized for prior person's promise.

    I am the person who would rather write about a job well done than what I'm going to share. It starts out that I sold something to a customer for his 10 year old son in Florida for Christmas. I use usps or on occasion UPS but the customer wanted to overnight the package and be billed to his FedEx account. I agreed to give it a go only because it was Dec 22 and I wanted the boy to have his package in time for Christmas.

    I anticipated there to be some time involved because I didn't have an established account but what I went through was ridiculous. I'm going to condense this because it will just get my blood to boil all over again. I spoke to seven different customer service representatives, was told seven different things and disconnected three times. After over 2 1/2 hours of absolute ridiculousness I had a new account and had the request all filled out with a tech support person online throughout to ensure that there were no errors in billing, pick up or delivery. The package was to be picked up before 6 pm that day.

    6 pm came and went. The customer contacts me asking why package is not showing up in tracking. I call FedEx and the guy tells me, “oh it will be picked up tomorrow after 12 but before 6.” I calmly tell him the story and I'm looking at my computer and it says scheduled pick up 12-22...what can I do at this point? OK it's busy and I guess the fact that the customer is paying FedEx $56 to get his package overnighted didn't matter to them so let's see if they can get it tomorrow.

    Now this is where I lose it. Customer notifies me around 5 pm that the package wasn't picked up yet and made a call in which he was informed a pickup was not ever scheduled. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! I call FedEx and still haven't screamed or yelled but informed the lady I was really, really unhappy. I am driving and do not have info on me but she does some research on her computer and tells me the same thing that there is not a pickup time scheduled, I am beginning to lose any patience left and I had her recheck...ironically the driver had been there at 5:11 pm and there WAS NO PACKAGE! Now I am really mad. It is around 5:30 and I tell the rep to call the truck and make her drive back because we have tripped over that package for 2 days. There is no way it could have been missed unless the driver never went.

    You can draw your own conclusion on the next part...within 5 minutes time the representative tells me she dispatched truck and has wonderful news. The driver has my package! That it's in the possession of the driver and will be on the plane to Florida tonight! I will find out today if it gets to Florida and the drama is over but I'm really baffled on how the driver notated there wasn't a package to pick up and was able to turn around and get it (in a very rural area) when a good 15 minutes had passed since leaving the pickup destination.

    Today is the 24th and we will find out if it made it and if the billing is done correctly. I hope so because this has been a horrible experience. It is unacceptable in every way on what transpired and I am completely disappointed in FedEx. I have nothing good to say after this experience. At the very least I would expect FedEx to refund the $56 charge for this to my customer.

    This complaint is about the theft of my US passport while in the custody of FEDEX and FEDEX's negligence towards my security and unwillingness to refund me for expenses incurred while obtaining a new passport and visa. I filed a complaint with Fedex (FEDEX CLAIM NUMBER **).

    On March 2, 2014 I FedExed my passport to VisaHQ of San Francisco in order to obtain a visa to travel overseas on April 13, 2014. VisaHQ obtained my visa and FedExed my passport back to me on Friday March 14, 2014 (tracking number **). On Monday March 17, 2014 FedEx delivery man Mr. Armando ** delivered an envelope from VisaHQ. Upon feeling that the envelope was very light, I opened it (with some difficulty as it had been scotch taped) in front of Mr. **: the envelope was empty: there was NO passport or anything else in the envelope. On inspection it was obvious the envelope had been tampered with. I immediately reported this to the sheriff’s office who came to my house to take down the particulars. I have also reported the theft of my passport to the U.S. State Department. My passport was immediately nullified. I have to replace it. The application process is as if I had never had a passport.

    I wish to comment on the disappearance of my passport while in the custody of FEDEX. I have no way of knowing how the contents of the FEDEX envelope went missing or how the opening of the FEDEX envelope came to be scotch taped. What I do know is that my passport disappeared on your watch. It travelled in different FedEx locations for 3 days. The passport was very likely taken by FEDEX employees. As you well know, the theft of a U.S. passport is a very serious offense.

    FEDEX indicates that the claim was settled with the shipper (VISAHQ). It is true that FEDEX sent $100 to VISAHQ and called it a settlement. The shipper did not steal my passport. My passport was stolen while being transported back to me by FEDEX. It is incredible that FEDEX abrogates all responsibility for the theft of my passport placing the responsibility on the shipper. Both the shipper, VisaHQ, and I placed our trust on FEDEX to deliver the passport to me safely. This was not done. The theft of a US passport is a class D felony. FEDEX is a large multinational company that takes the illogical and reckless position that it is not responsible for its employees opening envelopes and stealing their contents.

    I have two concerns. The first one has to do with security and the second with money owed to me by FEDEX: 1) The theft of a US passport should be taken as a very serious matter, particularly in these days of heightened national security concerns. 2) FEDEX sent $100 to VisaHQ as if VisaHQ had sustained the loss. It is I who sustained the loss, not VisaHQ. And it was on FEDEX's watch, not VisaHQ's, that my passport was stolen. I ask that I be reimbursed $766 ($866 minus the $100 that VisaHQ has sent me). I have all the documentation of my expenses to replace my passport and visa and can send it to you upon request.

    I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and with the AZ Attorney General. FEDEX has responded by saying that the claim was settled by sending $100 to the shipper (VISAHQ). FEDEX has indicated that their policy is I am not their client, and that the shipper (VISAHQ) is the client, a ridiculous policy since I am the damaged party. It would seem that nobody can do anything about FEDEX stealing a passport. Indeed, the BBB has stated that FEDEX's policy is what it is. I continue to pursue the complaint with that AZ Attorney General, although their first response has been that FEDEX considers the complaint "satisfactorily resolved". I would be most grateful if you could investigate this situation. I cannot believe that nothing can be done to protect a consumer such as myself against such gross negligence. I would like to have FEDEX admission of negligence and a refund for the expenses I incurred when I had to have a new passport and visa rushed to me ($766). By the way, FEDEX made a lot of money out of this as I used their rush delivery for both the new passport and the new visa.

    I'll start with the first one. A few months back I ordered online and the packages were to be delivered through fed ex. Received the tracking number and expected delivery date. Well the day came and went. No package. Checked the tracking number and said item was delivered. Hmm. So I called fed ex. All I got was that it was delivered and I would gave to file a claim. Long story short. Two days later my neighbor who I barely knew at the time said they had a package for me. Fed ex stated that because I wasn't home they delivered it to my neighbor and they even signed for it. Wow!!! That was a 200$ item.

    On to the 2nd strike! I ordered 350$ in perishable items from a company and it was shipped through fed ex. I thought ok they will just leave it at my door and I'll be able to pick it up when I get off work. No signature was required. So tracking number was provided and notified by the company when the items were shipped. Shipped on a Saturday and thought for sure I would receive by Tuesday at the latest. Tuesday came and went, nothing!! Wednesday, Thursday still nothing. By this time I was getting concerned because of being perishable items. Friday came and still nothing so I thought ok I need to check the tracking number and find out what's going on. I have ordered from this company many times and never has it taken this long. Checked the tracking number and said items were delivered on Wednesday!! What?? Wait a minute. No they were not. And so I scroll down the page to see that the items were handed off to the usps. NOT GOOD!!! I rarely check my mailbox but maybe once a week now that mostly everything I do is online. I also live in an apartment complex so all mail is delivered to a central location.

    I ran to check my mail and sure enough there was my perishable items shoved in two separate large package bins that had been there for 3 days in the Florida heat. No notice from either party!! My question is as a consumer how if I am paying for one delivery method can they justify handing it off to a third party and not notifying me!! This is really poor business practices and I will be sure to call the company that I ordered from to please never ever ever ship anything through fed ex again unless I specify on my order form. Fed ex has already gotten an earful from me and was basically told that that is how they do business but I'm sure they could care less what I say or think. To them I am nothing but a delivery destination that they obviously cannot fulfill. So I have learned my lesson on this one and there will NOT be a 3rd time!!!

    Two days in a row I have waited on a package. Each day the FedEx site says "Deliver Exception". When I called to complain they told me the driver would have left a Notice. Both days I was here and on the second day I was in the front yard when the Website said the delivery was attempted. There was never a Notice left. A delivery truck did not come by and did not stop. I have been here for over 13 years and UPS has never done this but FedEx has this problem frequently. They need more trustworthy drivers.

    Fedex thought my house was the neighbor's. The neighbor signed and realized was the wrong address. Since she signed it was considered delivered but the fedex guy took my package back to fedex location that is not very close to my house. Now I cannot schedule another delivery or a rerouting of my package because it is considered "delivered." I tried to go to the Fedex location to get it but couldn't find the location and they said there is nothing they can do to reroute the package because it is considered delivered. Great Fedex! When I asked the Fedex guy to come after my work hours he said he could not schedule a delivery but at the same time he required a signature, which means I have to stay the whole day at home waiting for a package or they will wrongly deliver to a neighbor and consider it delivered! Fedex, I am hating you right now! I am going to remember not to use Fedex again.

    FedEx was to deliver a package to my home. Contacted customer service four times and requested they contact the local dispatch for information on delivery. On four occasions I was told the package would be delivered before 3. I had to leave the home for 10 minutes at 3:05 PM, I made this very clear to each individual I spoke with, they communicated this with the driver. I left my home at 3:07 pm and arrived back at 3:15 pm. The driver magically came at 3:12 pm, the exact time frame he was communicated that I would not be available. For a 12-hour window I have made myself available in the home to wait for this package, explaining that just under 10 minutes I would not be available. This very short time frame was communicated directly with the driver and he magically arrived during that exact time frame. There was a detailed note on the door requesting the next door neighbor received the package, this was verified as an option with customer service. I personally feel this was done on purpose and do not understand how a company expects individuals to wait for their entire day and will not leave the item as requested and communicated directly with them. I will never use FedEx for anything again and now fully understand why so many people are so dissatisfied with their service. This is beyond poor customer service.

    The package damaged was sent to me by a reliable Ebay & was clearly damaged by Fedex. Fedex failed to even pick up shipment- made me (recipient) photo damage & claimed box was not sufficiently damage to have damaged the item. The box was extremely heavy cardboard & you could see where something had been dropped on it that bent the INSIDE of the box. The box around the item was also damaged. I've used Fedex for 35 years and lately they seem to just routinely deny all claims even when they are valid.

    Updated 2/14/2015:

    The worst - they use these scanned delivery confirmations as "proof" that they have delivered the package correctly. My brother's Christmas gift sent January 2 went astray not doubt to a neighbor who enjoyed the nuts and chocolates and kept the presents. My brother was home when it was supposed to have been delivered to their porch, though their 4 dogs make a ruckus when you get within 20 feet of their front door.

    It appears to me that you would have to sue them in Shelby County, Tennessee. I'm looking into and will call their legal department on Monday. Since I go to Memphis occasionally with my business, I intend to get my $100 insurance on this package worth twice that.

    I'm really fed up with Fedex getting away with this--their insurance is worthless. They damaged a brand new car sent thru their motor vehicle delivery division back in 2008 and denied the claim though the Fedex driver freely admitted that he had damaged it by slamming on the brakes trying to pull it into my driveway. I let it go and just sprayed the damage to the underside of the bumper with Rustoleum.

    The guy who denied was totally snotty and claimed that the claim was not made by their deadline (though I sent the claim by registered mail return receipt) and told me to "sue me". I've been in business for 30 years and at one time I used Fedex almost exclusively but since 2008 I rarely use them. Big mistake to give them another chance.

My package spent 3 days being shipped around CA then another 3 days to make it across country.

I am now on hold with a "Customer Advocate, Mario" from Fed Ex and have been for almost 17 minutes. He has come back several times to thank me for my patience and just said that he thinks that this package has been delayed. Really? Now he tells me that he is sorry but he has confirmed that there has been a delay. (Are you kidding me?) I asked him to call the last location to see where my package is. He said he does not have a phone number. That has to be a lie!

    I am an eBay seller and I have been using Federal Express Ground for about 80% of my sales. I shipped an item via Federal Express Ground to San Francisco and I had given the buyer in SF the tracking number. The buyer called FE and paid $10.00 to have the deliver date changed to two days later because he would not be home (FE Ground delivers a package whether the person is at home or not, regardless of insurance value). Federal Express delivered the package anyway disregarding the call to change the date. The customer never received the package. I have been trying for two months to get the money back via a claim.

    First, FE denied the claim because a signature was not requested (which is extra by the way and I assumed a $200.00 item would not be left at someone's door!!!). I told them the buyer had called FE and paid $10.00 to change the delivery date, yet FE delivered the package anyway. FE said they had no knowledge or documentation of the $10.00 paid. So the buyer sent me his receipt for the $10.00 he paid to change the date (BTW, the shipper has to file the claim and the receiver can do nothing.) I call FE and they seemed stunned I had the receipt and that I had been working with the buyer to get a refund.

    Finally, I talk to a manager and he said they did not need a copy of the receipt and I would get a refund. 30 days later no refund in the mail. I call FE and they say they sent a refund!?!?! Now they are saying they are going to send a voucher. Stay tuned on this one!!! And for some background information: Federal Express Ground delivery people are contracted and are not employees of Federal Express, yet Federal Express make the contracted employees follow all the Federal Express rules, plus the contracted employees have to buy their own uniforms, trucks, materials, etc. These contracted employees also have filed a class action suit against Federal Express and Federal Express is fighting it tooth and nail. From what I have been reading, even if you buy insurance with FE Ground, you will never get a refund for lost or damaged goods. It truly is shocking that an American company of this stature conducts business in such a manner, it's truly a disgrace.

They called me within an hour, but stated they have to look into it and will contact the driver and that it may take up to 24/48 hours.

    The driver told them that he left my package behind the gate. What gate? I requested that this driver show me the mysterious gate he left my package behind. They informed me that the driver is out in the area and that he would contact me with the number I provided. He did not come out, nor did he give me a call. A rep called this morning and stated that the driver could not retrieve my package. No **. She went on to state that I call to reorder my items. I couldn't bear I was going to say things I shouldn't say so I hung up the phone. The lack of common sense, why deliver a package that clearly states hold for customer to pickup?

    My daughter's father shipped her a gift from overseas and was told by the fedex agent when shipping not to select anything regarding who to bill the duties/taxes/fees that would be assessed when sending to the US (where we are) and they could not let him prepay the charge (because they hadn't assessed it until it entered the US). Normally the shipper selects who should be billed those charges, but since he was directed by the fedex agent not to, he didn't. A bill came in our daughter's name (she is 8) because she was the recipient (fedex has no way of knowing how old the recipient is or even if they are a real person, so this seems pretty stupid to be a default. Would think default would be the shipper who is at least verifiable & would be aware there could be charges).

    Additionally, fedex just left the package, no signature & no confirmation of acceptance on behalf of the recipient for any charges to be billed, was received by fedex when leaving the package. Her father was supposed to pay the bill, but it didn't go to him. It came to our daughter but he tried to pay online anyway & it wouldn't go through for some reason and he ran out of options on his end (he is overseas) to pay the bill, so a second bill came and I called fedex to have the bill reverted to his name so that he could pay it. I was transferred to "revenue services" & they said they can't reverse it to the shipper unless they checked it off on the air bill, which I explained he hadn't (because he was told not to) and they she said she can just put a note that customer refused the bill, but I do not want this sitting on our daughter's name or messing up her credit in any way in the future (still not sure how putting in a kid's name is legal). I was then transferred to a "supervisor" mailbox & left a voice mail & requested a call back and resolution, but to date no call has been received (a week later).

    I also told the representative & stated in the voicemail that Fedex has all contact information to call, email or mail to her father and resolve the issue (his address, email & phone # were all provided when he shipped it, it's even included with the copy of the bill as well), but has failed to do so. Several email complaints were submitted to fedex online and all email replies only kept telling me to call the revenue services department (which each time I explained that they were not helpful & never returned my call either). It has been a week of dealing with fedex by both myself and her father & this remains in our daughter's name as a past due bill & is unresolved. The only resolution is to remove this bill from our daughter's name immediately. How can we accomplish this when it has been repeatedly requested & fedex has done nothing?

FedEx didn't send it out on delivery to the retail business on Black Friday because they "assumed the business would be closed." A) That is a very poor assumption that any business is closed on Black Friday; B) Checking the internet would have told them in less than 5 minutes that the business was in fact open on Black Friday and always closed on Mondays (the day they had "assumed" it would be open). It took 5 different representatives before I finally got tired of seeing the buck passed and ask who I talk to about getting an outright refund. Anyhow my package will now take at least a week before it makes it to me. It should've been here in two and a half. Customer service says it will refund the cost of the shipping. Promises, promises.

The first number was put on the truck for delivery on 11/15/2014 but today is 11/19/2014 and the second was on truck for delivery on 11/18/2014. Each night overnight the tracking info is updated with "customer not available or business closed." Today I placed a complaint by phone. During conversation the phone rep stated that they have until 8Pm to deliver to my home. Then she confirmed tracking info on both numbers and submitted complaint. At 7:30 PM the FedEx delivery truck was across the street pulling out of the side street onto my street. I live at the intersection and watched the driver turn right and go down my street right past my house but never tried to stop. So overnight I expect the same driver to claim "customer not available or business closed".

    The bottom line is this driver didn't feel like delivering these 2 packages so they claim nobody is here. Well just inside the door is the office which is staffed until 6PM, and my wife gets home from work at noon daily. I took today off to make sure there were no delivery problems. So I watched the driver avoid stopping here from my living room window. I didn't pay shipping to have my packages driven around the city for 5 days. This driver needs fired for fraud. I will never ever ship anything by FedEx, as I ship more than 5,000 packages a year and always USPS. This has caused me to lose $265.00 plus a day’s pay!

    I ordered some parts on eBay for my car last week. I really needed these to operate my car. This morning the FedEx site said package was out for delivery today. I took the entire day off work to ensure I would be home to receive the package. Throughout the day I kept checking the FedEx tracking. Still said "On FedEx vehicle for delivery". At 5:42pm I call the FedEx store, ask if my package was still out for delivery and I was told "Yes. They'll continue making deliveries until 9:00pm". I have cameras on the front of my house that record. Anytime I left the living room to let the dog out or grab something to eat from the fridge, I'd come back and check the DVR to see if I missed anything. Nope. 8:30pm, still no package. FedEx tracking still says "On FedEx vehicle for delivery". 9:00pm rolls around and still no package.

    I check the website again and this time it says "Delivery exception - Customer not available or business closed" at 6:00pm. This was 18 mins after I just spoke to FedEx and I remember exactly what I was doing at 6pm. Sitting on my couch that is right next to the front door as I watched the local evening news. The delivery driver never showed up. My cameras don't lie either. I called FedEx customer service at 9pm and made a very lengthy complaint. I was told someone from the store will contact me in the morning regarding my complaint. I will never use FedEx's services again.

    An item I ordered was to be delivered by Fedex on a day when I would be away on a business trip. I put a vacation hold on deliveries to my address until someone would be there to receive the package. Fedex tried to deliver it anyway. When I received an email informing me of this, I called customer service. I had a discussion with the agent wherein he informed me that they would hold the package for five business days, but I would have to pick it up. Since I will be away for several months, this presents a problem. I may or may not be able to get someone to pick it up for me. It's an inconvenience, to say the least. I am annoyed that Fedex ignored the vacation hold and then would not deliver the item on the day I requested. Their website where you place the vacation hold seems to indicate they will do this. It seems not.

    I went online to track my package. So I checked the expected delivery and it said Wednesday at 8 pm. So I was like that's not too bad. Then I checked where the package was and what time it was delivered there. It said Newark, NJ at 10:12 am today, this location is a 20-25 minute drive from my house. HELLO FEDEX why can't you just take the extra twenty minute drive to my house and have it delivered by 7 pm or 8pm today. It just makes no sense that they have to keep it an extra day when it was delivered this morning. It's not like there are not enough hours in the day.

    From Shipper to Houston seemed to be flawless. Tracking was very easy. However, somewhere between the delivery truck and the next 12 hours disaster. I was available at the delivery address all day, I even made up a sign for FedEx with the address so it could not be missed. After waiting all day, I checked tracking again. It showed a delivery cropped at a door. I immediately attempted to notify FedEx, response from WEB-master which duplicated the tracking report. I notified the shipper. Same story they (FedEx) claim it was delivered. I physically went to a live FedEx facility. The employees were most kind, sympathetic and helpful. They notified FedEx that I was in the building looking for my package. I have heard nothing since. The shipper got his money---Fed Ex got their money the person paying for all this got diddly. Attitude seems to be tough **. To anybody using that particular service I can only say "Buyer Beware." Apparently the ground rates to the shipper are favorable. I assume I will eventually get my money back, but in the meantime the package that I purchased was something I needed to insure the safety of my vehicle. I will still have to purchase it and the time wasted chasing things down will in essence double the cost to me.

    My package was delivered to the wrong address at 1:51PM on a Friday. I discovered this by checking the tracking online. I called and got a claim # assigned. It was determined that the package was picked up by a driver, probably due to the honesty of the first place it was delivered. I waited until after 8PM for a delivery. When I called on Saturday I was told "there is nothing we can do until Monday". There is no escalation procedures when they are at fault. There was no calls made to me unless I insisted on a return call (on Monday morning). The address on the package was always the correct address! Had I not called, the package would have NEVER been delivered!! I am now waiting until Tuesday for delivery, with no real guarantee that it will be delivered. If it is not on a delivery truck tomorrow morning, I am going to drive over to the terminal in Tampa from Lakeland and personally pick it up. Woe be to them if I have to do this. Something is terribly missing in their procedures when this situation occurs. It is all on the customer to resolve. This is not good customer service!!

Contacted supplier who contacted FedEx, who in turn claimed an attempt to deliver was made within the 48 hours, nobody was home so they left a card. Not true, no card left, and either myself or my wife were at home throughout the period as the item ordered was important to us and we did not want to miss it.

    I thought FedEx was a great company about customer service! Today I have found out how wrong I am. I had a package that was supposed to delivered last Friday, but it needed a signature and they left a slip on the door, I also received an email with the information that the attempt had been made. I signed the slip, put it back on the door and the wind blew it away. The email and tracking site had a form you could print out, sign and put special instructions on, so I printed that out and checked the box that said put the package by the back door. I signed it and taped it to the door, so it wouldn't blow away. Later I find the form still taped to the door and a new slip where they tried to deliver. What was the point of the one I taped to the door if the driver was going to ignore it!

    I got online to track the package and it shows it has been delivered. So I call customer service, and all he can tell me is it is scheduled to try again tomorrow. Or I could pick it up at the terminal which is an hours drive from me. He tried to call the local office so they could call the driver and ask for a second delivery attempt, but told me they normally don't do that with ground shipments. The local office never answered their phone, so calling the 800 number for service got me the same service I got from the driver, NONE. So, is this what we can expect from FedEx????

Upon opening the box after finally receiving them I had discovered that one of the speakers had been damaged. I submitted a claim, filled out the paperwork and they came and picked up the speakers and paperwork. After not hearing anything for quite some time I called to find out what was going on. They told me that they had not received any paperwork. I had informed them that they picked it up with the speakers, then they decided to tell me that it has to be mailed somewhere else. So I emailed them all the paperwork they needed and waited for a reply.

    I received a letter in the mail about a week later stating that they had denied my claim. Their reason was insufficient packaging. That package had been packed very well and it had marks on the outside of it that appeared to be abrasion marks from possibly being thrown. I spoke with a man by the name of Robert who was very rude and unprofessional about the whole situation and he could not provide any adequate reason why he believed the package was insufficiently packed.

Then they will just drop it on a doorstep at the wrong address. FedEx does not provide customer support because their tracking system indicates it was delivered, even though it says it was delivered to a different address. The FedEx satellite station in Hutchins, TX is the culprit, and they have no contact telephone number.

    For the past few years I have ordered many packages, some of them I have paid even up to $30 extra for overnight shipping. Almost EVERY SINGLE TIME the driver has "showed up" for multiple days before leaving a note that he was unable to find the house and that I'd have to go pick it up at the FedEx facility which is over 100 miles from me. Not once did he ever leave a note on the door or in the mailbox stating that he attempted the delivery until the day he gave up, leaving me to only know where my package was by tracking it online. The site would say 'attempted delivery' when in reality he never even entered the development. The latest package I ordered required a signature so I asked my Dad to sign for it seeing as he would be at my home working on a car the whole day. At 1:09pm I received a notification from the site stating that no one was here to sign for the package and was thus returned to the FedEx location. My Dad was outside of the house ALL DAY. Would someone please tell me how he tried to drop off the package when he never even came within 5 miles of my home?

    I paid around $30 extra to have the package by this weekend only to have a clueless and less than helpful customer rep. tell me repeatedly that it would be sent back out Monday, despite me just wanting to file a complaint and see what could be done to rectify the problem. After arguing in circles with the rude woman, I was finally transferred to the complaints' department where a wonderful woman (who should be CEO if you ask me, seeing as she seemed to be the only one with manners and a brain) made it very clear that it was not okay that this problem had went on for so long, contacted the driver to tell him to turn back around if he hadn't reached FedEx yet, and promised me the manager would be contacted and informed of the situation. FedEx, your service has done nothing but steadily decline and the only reason you are still in business is because WalMart has carried your sorry butts through the mud. I formally fly my middle finger high and proud at you.

    I used to work for a FedEx Ground hub, so this will be about what happens there. Many employees at my location were part of a group that steals prescription pills from packages along with phones and other profitable items. This was met with no action from managers or the company itself, and often went overlooked, along with many other employee failures such as throwing and stomping upon fragile packages and sending items to the wrong trucks, etc. I get good reminders of this each time a FedEx package is late or missing, which is often.

    l shipped LIVE tropical fish to my customer using Fedex. The fish were packed in a large HEAVY DUTY box with lots of padding and marked "handle with care" ON EVERY PANEL ALL OVER THE BOX. In route to my customer, the box became "damaged" according to Fedex online tracking with no other explanation available even though l called Fedex several times. This shipment was also now running A DAY LATE. When it arrived at my customer's home, my original box and all of my padding was MISSING and ALL THE FISH WERE DEAD!! These dead fish were sent to my customer in a plain unpadded Fedex box. NO ONE at Fedex can give me a explanation why and how the box became damaged/replaced and why the fish died.

    I just I would pass along that insuring a package through FedEx doesn't actually mean you're covered for the declared value. I shipped some electronics including a couple of laptops using FedEx. The package was insured for the value to replace the equipment. The package was lost by FedEx, so we initiated a claim for the declared value. It turns out that FedEx limits the reimbursement to the lesser of the insured amount or the value of the equipment based on the receipts and some FedEx depreciation schedule.

    So, if you bother to insure something using FedEx, you'd better have receipts and understand their method of valuation. You will only receive compensation based on their valuation, NOT based on the declared value on their forms. I don't get it?? I valued the items based on replacement costs, and paid extra based on the value, but FedEx is only reimbursing me based on what receipts I could produce minus their depreciation formula.

    Very deceitful. Very dishonest. Shame on you FedEx! Not only did you lose/steal my package, then you undertake an adversarial role when it comes to your reimbursement! You're NOT my business partner, you're my antagonist. I'm very disappointed and wanted to let other know in case they are over-insuring their FedEx shipments.

    On Aug 22, 2014, I ordered medication from my doctor. It was Fed Ex and never arrived. I notified the doctor's office and they sent another package. This never arrived. I called the doctor's office and told them that I was cancelling the order and would have AMEX withhold payment. Through many phone calls to both the doctor's office and Fed Ex, I made my complaint known.

    My husband went through town giving our telephone number to possible delivery sites with the same house number and asking for them to call if they received a package. Someone from Quarry Road called and said that Fed Ex has wrongly delivered packages to them that should have gone to Dolington Rd. I had to drive across town and pick-up the package.

Never had I been given a case number on any other calls.

    FedEx's customer service is appalling. I have been working with the claims department for 3 weeks now trying to process a claim. The first time I called on August 17th the woman on the phone took the numbers for 3 packages and told me she was going to send a claim form. I never received the form and when I called back she only recorded 1 package. Upon taking photos of damaged packages and items in the package I am STILL WAITING FOR A DECISION. And have been instructed to keep the items. So not only do I have BROKEN GLASS everywhere, but I have mounds of packages, bubble wrap, and extra padding to keep as evidence in the event that your company actually does something.

    My claim was sent to management last week and I was told I would receive a call by today (September 10). No one called me. When I called FedEx I was put on hold at least 4 times, once because I was sent to freight claims, and then finally ended up talking to someone who works on FedEx express claims and has no information regarding my case. I am completely outraged by how this is being handled.

    Due to FedEx's companies inability to handle packages with care when specifically asked to place FRAGILE stickers on numerous packages I have lost irreplaceable items and am being offered $100 per package. This won't even cover one of the damaged items. This is disgusting. Ten years ago as a college student I could transport these fragile items during a month long back packing trip in Europe, as a irresponsible teenager, and back to the US and your company can't even ship them across the country wrapped in bubble wrap, towels, sheets, and paying for an additional $40 of packing for security.

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the recent videos that have surfaced showing FedEx drivers throwing TVs and other fragile items over fences. There is no regard for people's valuable items. I certainly will never use FedEx again considering a 3 year old could probably ship packages better than these were handled. By the way, this all began with ** at the FedEx Wynnewood, PA location and his incompetence to listen when asked multiple times to please put fragile on the packages. I spent close to $1,000 shipping items and you're offering me 10% of what I spent to ship to cover what was damaged? Especially when I clearly sent detailed photos and prices? I am repulsed and will NEVER use FedEx again and will advise everyone I know to avoid this horrendous service.

    On September 04, 2014 I was supposed to receive a package from FedEx that was worth $250. Both my husband and myself were home at the time of the supposed delivery and neither of us heard a delivery truck or saw a package (which this one was a large, heavy package). After checking our invoice and information to make sure that the delivery information was correct, which it was, I called the FedEx customer service number to see what had happened with my property. I was told FedEx would contact the driver and would also notify me about any changes or new information they learned as they investigated the matter. I had to call them at least 3 times to get updated on what was going on, and it wasn't until 3 days later that I finally received a phone call telling me they had contacted the driver (I was told it would be 24 hours).

    The driver claimed that they delivered the package and dropped it on our doorstep. If this were true, the driver would have knocked (which they didn't), and our neighbors, who were all home at the time, would have seen or heard the truck after it arrived. Both my husband and myself spoke to the neighbors and none of them had heard or seen a delivery truck during the time it was supposed to be delivered. Customer Service was no help whatsoever. They kept giving me the run-around when I asked them what was going on, and when they did talk to me they didn't listen to what was going on and instead took the word of their delivery driver over a PAYING customer.

    Basically, due to delivery fees, taxes and the cost of the item I paid over $300 to be treated like I was a complete idiot. With most businesses, this would be considered a form of fraud. Apparently, FedEx feels differently about this. I have spent thousands of dollars doing business with FedEx, have worked with them for years with various companies I have worked for, and I have never had this kind of problem with a company before. This delivery driver needs to be held accountable for what happened and I deserve to be reimbursed for the package.

    I was expecting a package, in accordance to the tracking number. I saw the FedEx truck drive down my street and then it just pass my house. The driver didn't even attempt to stop. He didn't even slowed down to throw an 'attempted delivery note' towards my house. I made a quick check of the tracking system again, and now it says 'attempted to deliver'. What a load of crap! The driver didn't attempt anything. And to think, I paid extra for overnight shipping. So I called the Fed-Ex office to have them have the driver to do his job and bring me my package. I got the rudest impersonal operator that essentially said I'm 'SOL' and I'll have to wait until tomorrow. When I asked to speak to a superior, she hung up on me.

    I shop online often. If something is breakable (i.e. electronics), I have it delivered to my work. Otherwise, everything is shipped to my home. I live in a gated complex of townhouses. Well, if my order is shipped UPS, the driver ALWAYS gets in and leaves my packages at my door. If my order is shipped FedEx, the driver NEVER gets in (literally, except if it's FedEx Smartpost, which is delivered by USPS) and leaves a delivery exception notice. Why is it that the UPS driver can get in but the FedEx guy can't? Oh, maybe because UPS drivers see their job as actually delivering packages, while FedEx drivers see their job as "attempting delivery" and couldn't care less if people ever actually get their stuff??? I wish online retailers would let you know what shipping company they're going to use so you can decide whether or not to go through with the purchase or change the shipping address.

    On August 19, 2014 a package was scheduled to be delivered from Amazon.com to my home. It was not delivered, despite being put on a truck to do so in Garland, Texas less than an hour away from my home. There were no storms, no earthquakes, no riots, no hurricanes, no sinkholes etc. We do not have a fenced front yard as a quick check on Google Earth will confirm or any animals that could interfere with a delivery, nor does Amazon require a delivery signature for this merchandise.

    To add insult to injury, it is obvious that the driver lied on his log as to the circumstances surrounding the delivery failure. He stated that no one was at home. However at 7:57 PM when he states he attempted delivery, I was at my dinner table, less than three feet from my door. Had he knocked on the door I would certainly have heard him. I believe this satisfies the legal definition of fraud. Furthermore when I brought this matter to the attention of your customer service personnel, they did nothing to mitigate the situation, merely stating that another attempt would be made, probably by the same driver. I am aware you had some sort of problem that day. However I do not believe that excuses fraud on the part of your driver.

    I did file a complaint against the driver and was assured that I would be contacted by management as to the status. As I anticipated, there has been no communication whatsoever. I am certain it just slipped under the rug. As I lost faith in the ability of your organization to fulfill its end of the contract which I made through Amazon for the delivery of my property, I made the trip out to your facility in Garland, Texas where I retrieved my property. Of course nothing has been done. Where is DoJ to prosecute these crooks.

    So I bought a custom painted violin from Etsy! The seller shipped it out Friday the 5th, it sat in New York until Monday.. Um excuse me, I paid $30 extra for 2-3 day shipping.. It should have been to me on Monday.. On Saturday I saw that instead of Monday it said it would be at my house Tuesday. Ok now Sunday I checked it said Wednesday, then Monday it said Thursday.

    So at 5am I called FedEx annoyed but politely asked what was going on with my package. I paid an extra $30 for 2-3 day shipping and it was supposed to be here today and now it says Thursday. That's a week since it was shipped.. The person spoke broken English and told me nonsense like ask the shipper why she sent it late. It wasn't sent on the Friday 5th, it was sent Saturday (yet I can see the tracking she sent it to facility on Friday) and then continued with "Oh well, the shipping you paid for don't work on Mondays. It will start moving tomorrow... And you need to blame the shipper. She sent it late on Saturday where it couldn't go to truck. It shows it will be here Thursday." I said ok, thanks bye..

    Um no, she sent it early morning Friday. I talked to her, the seller/shipper! It sat same place in NY all weekend cause your company is lazy! USPS may not scan the package constantly but they get it to the destination on time, not keep switching dates and let it sit especially when a customer paid extra for faster insured shipping!! FedEx and UPS have both lost or stolen my packages and stole them then next day after I reported it, thrown them in my yard broken or damaged!! This violin is almost $450 so it needs a signature.

    ORIGINAL REPORT: On July 15th 2014 at 10:58 a.m. I walked into Fed Ex and paid them $119.79 to ship a package overnight for me to Houston Texas. I paid with my personal bank/debit card. Two days later (today) July 17th I get a second charge for $119.79 to my bank account that I DID NOT AUTHORIZE NOR WAS I INFORMED ABOUT by Fed Ex. I called my bank and they have/will attest that Fed Ex did in fact authorize & post two separate charges to my account for $119.79 on two different days.

    I called Fed Ex 3 times and spoke to about 6 or 7 people who all pretty much said the same things: They can't verify ANY of their transactions until 3-5 days later when "the invoice gets posted" - they actually claim they have no records of anything until 3-5 days later. Interesting because I have an invoice/receipt that THEY printed for me from their computer network the day I paid them to ship my package.

    They openly admitted multiple times that there's a double charge but that the first one will "fall off" in 3-5 business days, which basically means that they took money from me without my knowledge or consent and are going to hold it for 3-5 days. To put it simply, they took money from my account without any consent or notification whatsoever and are going to hold it for 3-5 days after I've already them in full and the money has been charged to my account. I tried asking for a refund and the answer was a short NO.

    This is actually costing me a significant amount of money due to the work I lost today because of all this. I needed that money for a long drive to go to work for a couple days and now I'm in the hole. During my phone calls I was very clear and concise about how unacceptable and inexcusable this was and that I needed it fixed today. I also did so with complete respect and consideration without being rude or offensive in any way - but to absolutely no avail. I was told repeatedly that they would credit my money in 3-5 days from today. If I could afford a lawyer I would take this a lot further because this really has cost me a lot of work-time and money.

    UPDATE: I've been going back & forth with the BBB and Fed Ex and basically they're just giving me generic responses saying it's this or that or it's just the bank's fault. Judging by the disjointed responses from Fed Ex, I don't think they're even reading my comments. The bottom line is this; Fed Ex dictates the amount of a hold charge and how long it is to be held for, not the bank and certainly not me. I have countless screenshots of all my bank records that will accurately and irrefutably substantiate my claim completely. They took money from my account for 3 days without my permission and without notice and refused to give it back until 3 days later, which cost me a lot of time and money.

Of course, despite the small distance, FedEx didn't deliver directly to my home, instead taking my package away to Maryland. Though this was annoying, I realize it's part of their delivery system. Then, rather than delivering it any time soon, FedEx kept my textbook (that I needed ASAP for class, mind you) in their Maryland facility for an entire week before delivering it. Ridiculous.

    I quit FedEx after they dropped packages with wrong units in my office complex multiple times. Recently discovered why the service is so bad. My Son has no real job experience and got a job with FedEx. I was shocked. He'd been responsible for a bad auto accident just a year prior and had stacks of parking tickets. The pre-hire process was lengthy and included drug testing, so I figured they're giving kids a chance. Then when he was close to a start date I asked him what his starting pay was and he said, "Its salary $650 wk with no benefits."

    Once he began, I found out they were an "offload" company. The trucks say FedEx and they do residential delivery. They work the drivers a minimum of 60 hrs a week - ZERO overtime (salary clause). Tell them it's an 8 hr load and they must keep driving until the truck is empty. The fastest he was able to finish was in 10 hrs, ONE time. THAT'S the reason for the awful service! I told him to get out of there before he got hurt on the job. Taking advantage of people desperate for work and cheating them out of overtime. Use UPS or USPS Priority. I use both services each week with no complaints from customers.

The packages were labeled fragile and "this side up", but they had obviously been thrown and abused as the contents were delivered in fragments. Everything is packaged very well with styrofoam and peanuts, and my company reputation and profitability has been negatively impacted by this. Ebay offers a sizable discount for shipping with Fed Ex, but this small savings can in no way make up for the loss and damage to my credibility. I will have to find another way to ship.

    I had a package coming from China and stayed home to sign for it (signature was required). It passed out of China and into the USA and to Indiana. There, it stopped. I don't live in Indiana. So I called customer service to find out what was going on. A rep who did not speak English very well at all gave me a lame excuse about it taking longer in customs. That was not the issue. The issue was that it fell out of the tracking for 10 hours and got lost in Indiana (not the first time I have had a package lost in Indiana at FedEx). They told me "Oh sorry, it will be delivered on Monday". So now I have to stay home on Monday to sign for it. I understand FedEx does not actually care about its customers but if they could just get reps that spoke English, it would be great. FedEx sucks.

    Overnighted a birthday present - an $800 necklace wrapped in a box with a birthday card. Recipient received the Fedex envelope. Had been cut open - present removed - nothing but the card and a ribbon from the wrapping. They are investigating. I am sure someone is going to admit stealing this merchandise. I might expect this from the US postal service but not federal express. I suspect they have a massive theft/fraud issue within their delivery system.

    This is the second package that has been lost after I have dropped it off at the FedEx store on Longmire in College Station, TX. I sell on eBay and my packages have prepaid shipping labels. The location is usually understaffed, for years I have walked in and handed the postage paid package to the customer service rep and walked away without getting a receipt, no problems till last December. I dropped a package and my buyer never got it, since I had not waited for a receipt, they told me they could not trace the package and wanted to know who I gave it to. I provided them with the details and asked to review security cameras. They do not have any. The staff were apathetic, unfriendly and unhelpful. After numerous visits to the store, begging for them to help, I gave up and had to refund $220 to my buyer.

    Then June this year, I was in a hurry, line was long, I convinced myself it was ok to drop the package at the counter and not wait for the receipt, and again the buyer never got the package. The store gave me the 1-800 # to call and the excavation department (yes, that is the name) is supposed to trace the package. This is my 3rd call. The usual run around and stone walling has started. The people on the phone are unhelpful at best. Again I fear I will have to refund the buyer and take the double loss. DON’T trust FEDEX.

    I am furious. I have ordered from eBay 2 different sellers. Both used FedEx. Guess what? The driver took my first package to the house diagonally from me. I live in a bad area to be clear. The "friendly neighbors" opened my package, didn't like my shoes and decided they would bring them to me and say it was an accident. Their daughter thought it was her package and accidentally opened the package. A complaint was filed and then again today, 7-21-14, a crossbow I had ordered and had made sure my wife stayed home all day to make sure and get it and she waited only to see FEDEX PULL UP AND THEN SHE LOOKED BACK OUT THE WINDOW A FEW MOMENTS LATER WONDERING WHY THEY HADN'T COME TO THE DOOR AND THEY PULLED AWAY. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL THAT SAID IT WAS DELIVERED. This time I don't think I will be so lucky and the neighbors give it to me. My wife already asked and they said they didn't receive the package. So my advice is DON'T USE FEDEX. The only good thing they have going for them is the sweet Tennessee girl I talked to that helped me file my MISSING PACKAGE/FAILED DELIVERY FOR THE 2ND TIME!!!!

    I was tracking a package from the expected time - FedEx time for me to receive my package was 7/19/14, 12:00am. Of course as I waited, looking on my balcony until 1:20pm, a truck pulls up. As I watched the truck carefully, the driver DID NOT get out the truck at all then pulled off! I immediately called FedEx and informed them. At first they stated they made an attempt, and I informed them I watched the truck, and the driver did not get out the truck! They informed me they knew the driver didn't get out truck! They informed me that the driver refused to drop off package. I had left my number and information at front desk of my building if FedEx come. After I seen truck pull off, I went downstairs to ask the front desk did FedEx come. She stated they pulled up but never came in!! Is it because I live in projects?? I really was expecting my package for business purposes. Something really need to be done!!! Please help!

    I believe that I was wrongfully terminated and this decision should be further investigated. I was very interested in working for FedEx. I live less than 5 minutes away from the warehouse and knew I had the necessary qualities to handle the position. I kept in touch with Mr. Paul ** and when a Sort Observation came to East Elmhurst, I applied immediately. In May I received a text to come in to watch a video on May 14, 2014 and prepare for work the following day. I was very excited to begin my position as Package Handler. A couple a weeks prior to June 20th incident, a female employee, Gabby, smacked me in my rear end, which I didn't make an issue of since this had never happened to me before.

    On Friday, June 20th while I was handling the boxes, I felt something on my rear end again. My instant reaction was to put my hand out to my side to block me from getting hit with anything since I didn't know what it was. When I proceeded to block anything from hitting my rear end, I noticed that the same female employee who hit my rear end previously, had hit my rear end again. She then asked me, "did you hit me in my ass?" My reply to her was NO. This completely baffled me and I did not understand why she was asking me this question since I did not hit her ass. However, I discovered she filed a complaint against me and we were both called in to write a statement and watched the security video. The video showed that I was handling the boxes and wasnt looking around me when the female employee went to smack my rear end. As I watched the video with John, the head of Security, he said I didn't do anything wrong and didn't touch her like she claimed.

    Nonetheless, I was told to go home while the female stayed working. I believe I have been treated unfairly. While John was present and watched the Security video showing the events that transpired. He admitted that I did not touch her as she claimed. To my knowledge she is still employed at FedEx, while I had waited for weeks to discover my fate at FedEx. I would like my dispute to be documented and a copy of the Security video. While the person that fired me, ** did not even see the video, I would like my concern to be addressed with someone who has authority to overturn this decision as I was not at fault and treated unfairly. He also told me it had nothing to do with my work performance.

    While I have been treated desperately from this female employee when she was the person who initiated the conflict and sexually harassed me, I have been the person to suffer the consequences. I do not know what her motivation was to fabricate a sexual harassment claim, but I never touched her in any inappropriate behavior as she claimed. This is not right. Upon the head of security reviewing the video to collaborate my version of what transpired on June 20th and the manager fired me without seeing the security video or giving my version of events the same treatment as the female employees. I was not at fault here and was wrongfully accused of sexually harassing a female employee. I feel like I was forced out of a company I worked so hard to enter and as a result signed a NY Separation Notice on 7/5/14 without any due process.

    I understand FedEx was not aware of these past incidents of this female employee harassing me on 2 separate occasions. However, this dispute shall serve as an Official Notice. I do not want to take action against FedEx because I respect FedEx and want my job back. All I ask is that this matter be further investigated by FedEx and I promptly request to be contacted with respect to this matter as I feel I am not being adequately advised or represented. I was let go without a full investigation and after I was informed by the head of security that I did not, in fact, touch her as she claimed. I await your response. Your attention in this matter is greatly appreciated.

    Every time I have a package with FedEx, it's like playing a roulette: nobody can tell what time the package will be delivered. Sometimes they arrive as early as 8am (it happens less and less, maybe because they leave the facility later and later now???!) and as late as 9pm!!!! I never had the same problem with the UPS deliveries. I always have approximate time when my UPS driver is in my area. I wish companies would stop using FedEx to ship their packages, very unreliable.

Zero convenience in reality.

    I am the GM of Ibdaa for media manufacturing located in Amman, Jordan. I have a FedEx shipment tracking number ** contains customs paper work for an urgent shipment at the airport in Jordan. As you can see from the tracking number, it went from Abu Dhabi on Monday 23 of June, reached the local FedEx facilities here on Wednesday 25 of June. Then it stayed at their facilities for 7 DAYS. It was delivered to me one week later, and not because they remembered it but it was after we contacted the sender and he traced it and they told the local FedEx agent in Jordan. I bet they told them "Hey guys, you're a first class shipping company, YOU SHOULD DELIVER THE SHIPMENTS, and not only receive it."

    When I got the shipment, I asked the deliveryman why this happened. He told me to contact the management. I sent two complaints to FedEx Abu Dhabi and to FedEx Amman. None of them replied. Tried to contact FedEx locally by phone and the receptionist told me that the manager is not there. This is irresponsible behavior from the local FedEx agent who is who believe as long as I don't hear a complaint then there is no complaints!!! And I believe that the local FedEx agent represents the global FedEx Company, and there should be some control on it. Thank you for your time reading my complaint.

    Had a FedEx driver almost hit me after making a left hand turn w/o looking to see if there was anyone in the opposite lane. The driver actually turned short and into my lane while I was on a motorcycle stopped at the sign and had to move to the right while the truck was actually in my lane and almost hit me and she was looking down at something (probably her processor). And as it turns out after looking at my bike, she hit my left taillight. I turned around to go after her and stopped at her next drop area which was at a bank... She parks in the handicap spot and I parked my bike behind her truck to keep it from leaving.

    I told her at that point that she almost hit me and she denied it. She said it didn't happen... And got in her truck and moved forward and left the scene. I had burnt the inside of my right leg while trying to keep her truck from hitting me and my passenger (wife) from the exhaust on my motorcycle but was so full of adrenaline that I had noticed how burnt it was until after she left the scene. I told her at least 3 times and my wife told her the same and there were other people who saw what happened but we didn't take down names or addresses as we are not the Police.

    We have never had an expensive item delivered to our home by FedEx and never not had one delivered by UPS. They never call you back to tell you the status of their "investigations" unless you call the merchant and complain. The drivers obviously sign for their own deliveries and yet FedEx can't seem to catch them. We've had two expensive items go missing within the past few months. Calls to the merchant, the credit card company, FedEx take hours and sometimes the shipment "shows up" on your doorstep a month later after it's been replaced. Though one of their frequent lies is that no one was home to sign for the package, when it finally comes no one even knocks on the door, and they'll refuse to return it to the shipper even though you've told FedEx numerous times that you no longer want the shipment.

    I had a Christmas gift (food order) shipped out Dec 2 that was finally put on the doorstep on Jan 4 and that they refused to take it back after call after call. It finally fell apart from the rain and the merchant seemed to think I was to blame. I really can't blame him since unless you deal with them you will never believe how they lie. I've sat downstairs all day with the main door open in winter in a small house and they still say no one was home. These are the smart drivers, the ones who are going to test whether the customer stirs up trouble by complaining enough so that they "find" the delivery. Then you are told to drive 20 miles or so to pick up the order that you paid a lot to have delivered. Yet this company goes on and on and will unless people start making the shipper uncomfortable. FedEx could care less about the poor person waiting for their delivery. FedEx's customer is the shipper and the only way they'll improve is by letting the merchant know that you don't want your merchandise shipped by them.

    I have a continual, frustrating issue with FedEx. I live on an island, and thus have to order a lot of stuff online (we don't have department stores, etc.). Sometimes I find that when tracking a package, FedEx will hold my package in their local hub for DAYS, simply updating the tracking with "tendered to local agent for final delivery." Each day I check this, and will see it as many as four times in a row. Why on earth, if you already HAVE the package at the local warehouse, do you hold packages until the "expected delivery date?" Just deliver it! UPS delivers the package when they get it locally. It's not that hard.

    Not to mention, using the excuse that it was Ground Service or something is silly considering it actually costs FedEx MORE to keep the package in the warehouse extra days than just deliver it early. I always get my UPS packages on time or early. FedEx...not so much. I've had to call them and have their dispatch track down the drivers for putting a sticker on my door, despite the fact that I am AT HOME. If I had the choice, I would always use UPS. Unfortunately, under most circumstances, the buyer doesn't get to choose their delivery company. FedEx is terrible.

    I ordered a futon frame through Amazon. It was set to be delivered by FedEx, second day delivery. The day of the projected delivery came and went and I did not see any package. I know that the FedEx tracking system can have issues online, so I figured I'd wait until the next day to call. The next day came and the tracking information still hadn't been updated online so I called FedEx. After going through the usual hoops of having some random customer service rep tell me the package was damaged, and was attempted to be returned to Amazon, I had her put in a trace and contacted Amazon myself. Amazon was helpful, actually got through to FedEx, whom admitted that they "forgot" to load it onto the plane three days in a row, however it would be loaded that night and guaranteed to be delivered on my doorstep by 3 p.m. the next day (much better than the guarantee by 8 p.m.).

    The next day came and 3 p.m. passed. I once again called FedEx and had another trace put on it (was told the same thing that the package was damaged and sent back to Amazon), so I once again called Amazon. Once again Amazon pulled reigns on FedEx and FedEx now openly admitted that they "lost" the package while loading the plane. FedEx requested that I wait 7 business days before submitting a lost package claim. Instead Amazon resent the package through UPS, once again second day. It was here the next day when I got home from work. This isn't the first issue I've had with FedEx. It appears it doesn't matter where in the world the FedEx location is, if the outside packaging displays the contents, it's guaranteed to be "lost."

    I deleted a half-hour rant detailing my horrific experience over shipping with Fedex SmartPost to get more directly to the point. But I'm very pissed off in being bold-face lied to by both Fedex who agreed to this terrible shipping method, and US Postal Service who are never responsible for anything, and want everyone to know about what happened and why they need to avoid SmartPost even at the higher cost.

    I have been selling on Ebay from SoCal since 1999, back when it was fun and profitable, and if you were into collectibles, it was the most fascinating site because new things came up every day from remote place around the country. I had some damage both with Fedex and UPS, but was always able to call someone or locate a package eventually, or get a check for damages. Never, ever was there a problem getting compensated. Then one day, negotiating with our new Fedex representative, I felt we may be headed for trouble, if she was never around after we had issues with her suggestion "just try SmartPost for a month". Which we regretfully did. And she wasn't! So we started getting damages - but never from the Fedex side, always from the Post Office distribution side. What happens when you ship via SmartPost is you get a VERY slight discount, like 2% percent, if you allow Fedex to hand-off the local portion of the ground package delivery to the local US Postal carrier.

    It sounds fine in principle, right? Until you consider these letter carriers already toting 30 pounds of crap, now have another 30 in small packages AND the same delivery quota which by proxy, I'm assuming this creates a resentment and a hostility for YOUR packages with these carriers - who NEVER get fired, never have to be productive and have NO accountability for your stuff.

    So this was our recent experience, June 10 2014: my package was lost. Called Fedex after my customer said the package is on his doorstep, violently smashed and crushed. Apparently, the carrier or his sorting hub failed to read the "WARNING FRAGILE" stampings all over the item, or just went on to be did his own thing, Yo. Fedex Toll free goes, "we show it's not been delivered, call us Monday if it's still not there". I was stunned, how could Fedex be so ** STUPID? So he goes on to tell me what SmartPost is really, really all about: "WHAT WE DO HERE IS TAKE YOUR PACKAGE TO THAT ZIP CODE'S NEAREST USPS DISTRICT HUB AND GET A RECEIVING DOCK SCAN. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE AFTER THAT - CALL THE POSTMASTER OR HIS DISTRICT'S SUPERVISOR TO GET YOUR ITEM BACK BECAUSE I SHOW IT OUT FOR DELIVERY".

    So I didn't understand. Fedex who have been so like clockwork for many years, who took my money for delivery - did WHAT? They gave it to a third party, I now must hound to get my stuff back from? Anyone who's called USPS for assistance knows this is just asking for trouble. I called and asked for that local office's Postmaster or delivery supervisor, and was told they were both out. FOR THREE DAYS STRAIGHT which I shouldn't have to babysit. I didn't pay for this hassle - why am I calling these porch-pouched cubicle hamsters again and again? The service says "FEDEX" not USPS. It's a SCAM people. RUN, run run.

    So six days later, my buyer is emailing me "get it resolved, I want a replacement or a refund" and I can't run a business like this. So I took a cue from Phone Prankers and decided to trample through the secretary/gatekeeper with different voices until one got through. Here is a summary of several excuses I got, which were outright lies: "Kevin's in a meeting/ lunch/ doctors' - won't return today/meeting with District Manager/out in the field", so I got pissed and called her bluff with a mocked ** slang "oh heyo mann, izz is Mike mann, just reach over n' grabs him, we gon'e tah lunch I got his stuff". Surpise, Kevin came to the phone at the mention of free food: He gave me his email, said he'd be glad to follow up. But never did. So I had to reapproach Fedex.

    Called Brains **, oh but she's on vacation - her message said call her assistant who's line says call this assistant rep - whose slurred Hispanic was so unintelligible. I tried 3 different last-two digits only to get them wrong. So I called Toll Free again and again, who finally told me the truth, "FEDEX SmartPost is insured only through Ebay. You have to contact EBAY for processing a claim of damage by the USPS on final delivery. But we still don't see proof (after 12 days) of delivery. It shows it is still out on the truck. YOU MUST WAIT, THEN 20 DAYS FOR A DETERMINATION OF A LOST PACKAGE BEFORE YOU APPLY FOR A CLAIM". Seemed like I'm at the end of the chase here, but no! I searched for an hour to find a valid phone number for a SoCal Fedex SmartPost location (one of 27 nationwide) at ** where I was told that what I really want is for Ebay Customer Support (866) 540-3229 to walk me through the claims process!

    "FedEx SmartPost Claim Form warning: You submitted the SmartPost claim form for this shipment on XXXXXXX. "FedEx SmartPost will only allow claims for packages that are lost or damaged while under the control of FedEx. Packages lost or damaged while in USPS' control are not eligible for claims". Please review below to further understand how we've obfuscated the process, we designed to dodge our responsibility of submitting your claim" To even get HERE, you first must- 1. Login to your Ebay Seller account, 2. Click the My Ebay tab at the top-right of page, 3. Select "Selling" and wait for that page to load, 4. Select "Activity" tab on the L-column side, 5. Select "Selling Manager" dropping down to "Shipping Labels" and click THAT! 6. Scroll through the dates to find your Item or Buyer label, and you'll find it, 7. If you cannot FIND the Item #, select Period drop-down to the correct date range (Last week/ month / 60Days etc.) 8. To the very RIGHT on that Item numbers' column, under the last column "Actions" select "Submit SmartPost Claim", 9. Your Claim is then submitted automatically, with a landing page CHOCK FULL of disclaimers leaving you no hope of getting reimbursement - as noted below:

    [Claims for damage are only potentially valid if the tracking status of your package states, "Damaged, unable to deliver shipment - Please contact shipper/merchant for details". You must wait 20 business days after the most-recent tracking status update before a claim, for a lost package can be reviewed. Claims generally take 2 to 3 weeks for processing. All FedEx SmartPost claims are processed and managed through the eBay Marketplace. Due to the fact that FedEx SmartPost is an economic service, status updates for your claim will not be available through eBay or FedEx. Do not call FedEx or eBay for the status of your claims. All claims must be filed within 90 days of the package's physical entry into the FedEx system. If a claim is approved, the "selling" price of item on the eBay Marketplace (up to $100.00) will automatically be credited to the seller on the next monthly eBay invoice].

    Now because USPS smashed the package and left it to die on the doorstep for the buyers' great displeasure, there is no record by Fedex regarding fault. They say they only pay if it's crushed in their possession. So why does such a terrible service exist if there can be such a whopping loophole of responsibility essentially permitting Us Postal to do damage at their whim with no record of ever doing so? I will sue both Fedex and USPS to small claims in local small claims court, let's see if they want to take their little monkey game before a Judge to let him sort this BS out. I have a reasonable expectation of merchantability of which I've both been defrauded and had my items destroyed, thus I expect a win. Again, you may sneak a few successful deliveries through, but that's not what is at issue here - it's that there is NO claims compensation after Fedex palms it off to USPS.

    We purchased a Smartpost shipping label online via eBay. Per FedEx website, Smartpost packages must be taken to an authorized FedEx store for delivery (you can not put it in a drop box). On 5-16-2014, we drove to FedEx and handed the package to the customer service representative at the counter. She looked at the package label and said that is was NOT a FedEx label, but rather a UPS label and said I needed to take the package to UPS, telling me there is a UPS store just around the corner. I tried to explain to her that I just purchased the label online via eBay and that it said it was a FedEx service. Again she said, sorry, it was not a FedEx label and she couldn't accept it at their store.

    To be sure, I walk to the UPS store around the corner, handed them the package and they accepted it without any problems. Now I'm confused. Assuming all is well, I decided to check the tracking at UPS to see if it was delivered. UPS did not recognize the tracking number... Now I'm getting worried. I then checked USPS tracking and again, USPS did not recognize the tracking number. So, my last shot, I tried FedEx tracking and sure enough, it showed it was accepted at their facility on 5-21-2014. Apparently, UPS finally realized that it was not their package and gave it to FedEx.

    So, now the package has been sitting in limbo from the 16th through 21st without being shipped. That's 5 days... There's no way it's going to be delivered within FedEx specified time frame of 5 to 7 days for Smartpost service. At this point, I'm pissed off. I went to the FedEx website and filed a complaint, although FedEx does not have a section to support Smartpost complaints, I ended up using the Ground complaint form. I received a boiler plate email response stating FedEx would contact me regarding my issue within 24 hours. I never heard from FedEx after that.

    I finally received an email confirmation that the package was delivered on 5-27-2014. I then filed another complaint via FedEx and this time I got a response stating that the package had been delivered on the 27th, and that I should contact USPS with any other concerns. They never addressed my complaint about the FedEx customer representative not accepting my package, telling me it was not their label. They completely ignored that part, which, is the very reason the package was delivered late.

    To sum up, FedEx took NO accountability for making an error by telling me it was not a FedEx label and to take the package to UPS. To say the least, the service they offered (5 to 7 days delivery time frame) means nothing, no acceptance that their representative made a mistake, no apologizes... They made it sound like they did their part and blamed it on USPS. Bottom line... DO NOT Use FedEx SMARTPOST service... It's completely unreliable!! God forbid they lose your package or it's damage in shipment, neither FedEx or USPS will own up to it... You'll lose on that issue.

    I ordered some items from a company in Ohio that contracted with FEDEX to deliver. I requested that they not deliver without a signature meaning I would receive in person. Instead they deliver to my front porch and my house get burglarized the same day and the packages stolen as well. I contact FEDEX about this and they admit that this has been a problem. The driver also states that thieves have been following the trucks and stealing the packages but no warning from FEDEX about this and they continue to do business as usual drawing thieves right to your house, obviously no one is home as the package sitting on the front porch is proof that the driver couldn't deliver because, nobody is home. Stating the obvious, these FEDEX people are a bunch of amateurs looking to get you robbed.

    I ordered and paid for a new Raymarine Radar pack from a Defender marine to be delivered to my yacht in Fiji. FedExpress sent it across America to Hawaii and on to Australia in 3 days then it disappeared at the FedExpress site in Sydney. They can't find it. I may now have to cross the Pacific Ocean without radar and navigation equipment. This will put many lives at risk. I am not the only person to have stuff go missing from FedEx in Sydney. It appears there is a criminal element in their organization.

    I ordered a Verizon cellphone to be delivered to my home address. My wife was home. The driver didn't knock. He pasted a sticker on the door as undelivered! And left. We called and the office said he'd return. We stayed home all day. No one showed up as of 4:30 pm CST. I called back and they told me they would not be back. I told them to send it back to Verizon and that they were a bunch of sorry ass drivers! I drive a truck also and on the road they are a very dangerous - always speeding thru construction zones and crossing the center line.

    I'm home for four days and then I must leave Sunday, and won't be home for four weeks, and this sorry FedEx driver couldn't take a extra 1/2 hour and come back! I will make darn sure anything else I order comes by US mail even if I have to pay the extra charges before I ever let anyone ship me anything FedEx, or send it UPS! Thanks for nothing FedEx!!!! A wasted day.

    I mailed a package at a local FedEx office. The forms located in the store were covered by a sign that stated no need to use the forms; the FedEx representative would take care of shipping. The lady took my envelope, dropped it in a FedEx envelope, asked for my address, the destination address, and then took & swiped my credit card. I asked if there was anything I can do further. I was told no, that's all that's needed. Upon the package being delivered, the receiver noticed it had been ripped open & the contents inside removed ($200 cash wrapped in a Happy Mother's Day letter).

    The driver took pictures of the package as did the receiver of the package. After multiple calls, I was told by the claims department that sometimes security scans the packages and takes the content inside. On another call, I was told by the case manager assigned that the contents were taken in Tennessee as the package had been compromised before it arrived in Maryland.

    So now I have 2 FedEx employees saying the contents were taken while in the process of shipping. I received a response from FedEx saying the shipment was unauthorized (cash) so they could not honor my claim. Whatever happened to the big red Undeliverable stamp? So now it's okay to steal from the customer and then tell them that it's their fault for trusting you when the customer was never informed of the shipping policies? At least have a copy of the policies at the shipping site for customers to review before they pay ($39.50) to have their package contents stolen by the company itself.

    I should have just mailed it from the military base, not sure why I trusted them to begin with. I'm more shocked than angry that a company actually believes it's okay to blatantly steal from customers. I will make sure all of my friends, family, and clients never give another penny to this morally compromised company. Wow! FedEx Case # **.

    I sent a smart phone back to Verizon but I realized that all my granddaughters pictures were on the memory card still in the phone, so I called Verizon and FedEx and FedEx promised Verizon that I would have it today 5 /27/14. And FedEx never even tried to send it back and why they could not do this, I don't understand.

    I ordered a large whiteboard for my office through an online store on April 7, 2014. According to FedEx tracking, my package was damaged in transit in Sacramento on April 14, 2014. On May 1st, after several email and telephone correspondences with three separate representatives from the supplier, I was promised that I would be sent a replacement for the damaged item. On May 5th, the replacement package was shipped and I was given a tracking number, ensuring that the package would be delivered to me on May 7th. Well! May 7th passed, and I checked my tracking number in the following days, up until May 12th, when I saw that the replacement package was stuck in Fresno, CA. I called FedEx to track it via phone as soon as I saw that it was in Fresno.

    To add to my frustration, the first representative (unfortunately, I did not get their name), gave me an excuse, "well, sometimes our packing slips come off the packages, and we scan them anyway." What does that even mean? Did they scan the slip anyway, even if it's not attached to the item (A LARGE WHITE BOARD)? How do you, "LOSE," a 72 x 40 whiteboard? I would not be surprised that this item was stolen, as I've heard many stories of FedEx employees taking items (shoes, electronics, clothing, etc.).

    I called the following day, May 13th and had to go through THREE reps, including the trace agent, before speaking to the Manager. All four of them told me that my package was, "LOST. " The tracing agent, Jason, who told me the possibility of the item getting lost, and that they would search for my item up until the following Wednesday. NO HOPE or RESOLUTION. WHATSOEVER.

    After speaking with the Trace Agent, I spoke to the Manager, Monica, who informed me that I cannot file a claim; but the seller must file the Claim. This was frustrating to know that I've spent over a month waiting for this item, and that I would now have to spend a few more days getting a complete refund from the seller, before I can order a completely new item. I'm fuming. I feel like I've been given the minimum, "customer care/ support". I still do not have my package, I cannot file a claim, and I now have to WAIT for a full refund. NEVER AGAIN. I will not recommend FedEx to anyone.
