My husband and I went to FedEx to send a package back for a return from Amazon. The first time we tried to send it back they wouldn't take it due to a leak, from the item being broken. Then the second time we had the item out to be picked up, and they didn't pick it up then, finally the third time they finally picked it up, but then charged us an arm and a leg. We called for a refund and they wouldn't give it to us. They are a piece of **. Don't ever use them for anything.

I am a musician. I purchased a fine musical instrument from a manufacturer in the UK. Value is $4000. Shipped FedEx International Priority. Promised in business days. It’s been 6 days and still no delivery. First they said it was being held by customs. I had to fill out a ‘5160’ form and send it to ‘paperwork@fedex.com’. Kept on getting bounced back. I resent it about a dozen times following no fewer than 10 to 15 calls to supervisors. Finally got notice that shipment was released. Got a delivery window for Wednesday Sept 12 10:30am.
That time came and went. Still no delivery. I waited all day. Then called FedEx and they tell me that it’s still in Memphis!!! But now no one can tell me exactly where it is. No delivery window set. It’s in limbo. I am going to file a claim and write scathing letters to everyone at this terrible company. They don’t care about their customers. They are totally incompetent. I will never use FedEx again for anything. I work for a major tech company. I work in ops. We use FedEx. I will be submitting a proposal to move exclusively to UPS.

Not having the necessary skills to do something successfully - That is the definition of incompetent. I needed medication delivered to a Bangkok hotel by a certain date. The sender was "guaranteed" it would arrive while I was in the hotel. The delivery timeframe was also written on the package. When I arrived at the Hotel, the package was not there. I looked up the tracking number and saw it was still in Anchorage. I placed a call and was told the plane did not leave Anchorage due to weather.
I cannot believe the plane was grounded for two days in the summer. I worked at the FedEx facility in Newark and those planes always flew, even when passenger planes were grounded due to snow. What did happen occasionally was that a package fell off a conveyor belt and would not be found for a day or two. The FedEx representative told me the package would be returned to my home in New Jersey in three days. Instead, five days later the package was in Thailand and I was told to pay for its return. They have been late more than "On Time" the last few years. But now they blatantly lie even when it's a crucial matter such as medication. This is not the FedEx I was proud to work with 15 years ago. DHL, or if possible, UPS for overseas. And Express Mail in the U.S. You will save money and grief.

This is one of the very worst delivery services that I have "ever" dealt with. The Driver stated that he delivered my package to my house on Monday, and the home delivery service from 2701 S.W. 18th St. Oklahoma City isn't open on Mondays. There is much more to this experience but I just wanted to say... THE DRIVER IS A LIAR AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK AT THE ABOVE LIST FACILITY AREN'T MUCH BETTER... NOTE: I was here all day and have security cameras with footage that prove this statement.

I order from Newegg a lot. They started using FedEx for shipping. Ever since they started using FedEx, every single package always takes a day longer than it should. I ordered a item for rush overnight delivery and it was delayed 12 hours in NJ and will not arrive on time. Newegg was good and refunded my shipping cost, but I must say I am very unsatisfied with FedEx.

I order a package for my daughter that came in two packages. These packages started out in the same place. One package stayed here on the east coast and the other FedEx shipped to the west coast and New Mexico after that and when I called their reply was, "Sorry nothing we can do. Just wait for your package. It will get there." The thing that annoys me the most is they both started out together and they were only 2 hours away from the destination. P.S. The package still isn't here and was supposed to be delivered on Sept 8 2018. Anytime I call I get, "I'm sorry but it will get there." They are horrible to deal with!

I scheduled a pick-up of a prepaid FedEx Express package by phone. The pickup was supposed to be done the next day. However FedEx refuses to provide any confirmation of this by email or other traceable means for a customer. Instead they provide a pick-up number by phone. Needless to say no-one has showed up to pick up the package on the agreed day. When I called FedEx customer service at the end of the day, I was informed the customer representative gave me the wrong date and it will be picked up next day.
When I requested to received an emailed confirmation or some traceable confirmation with date and time window of a pick up, I was refused on the ground that FedEx only says it by phone. The customer representative could barely speak English and was highly incompetent. I requested to speak to the supervisor however I believe I was transferred to another customer representative who refused to give his full name and position and just reiterated the incompetent blurb. It is a horribly incompetent company, who does not want to hear from customers and has no intention of resolving issues. This is not the first time I receive terrible customer service from incompetent staff at FedEx - both face to face and on the phone. Stay away.

An almost 10 lb delivery was ordered. FedEx confirmed receiving the near 10 lb delivery. I use security cameras at my house for exactly this reason (FedEx employees are all degenerate scum). Empty box was seen walked up, and left on my porch. Called customer service to report empty package delivered, which is when I spoke to the most unhelpful, rude, and overall USELESS customer service employee I've ever encountered: Molly. To say she is a useless ** is an understatement. Molly in Cincinnati, OH refused to help me, wouldn't let me speak to a manager when I requested, and was EXTREMELY RUDE throughout the entire interaction. Molly you are a worthless piece of **.

Ordered vitamins from Amazon. They were never delivered (to my house). Filed a claim with FedEx and notified the shipper. The shipper refunded my money. Today I received a letter from FedEx stating, "After reviewing your claim, we regret to inform you the package was delivered so your claim is denied." In the future when buying online I will make sure the seller does not use this service for delivery.

I have a broken wrist, 3 tears in my shoulder and 4 herniated discs in my neck from a car wreck in March. Neurosurgeon wants to do surgery as my neck is "too wiggly" now. I am temporarily disabled. I am in constant pain and stress wondering if I am going to be further damaged. To cheer myself up, I decided to do a makeover of my tiny little condo. I have never shopped online for furniture. Someone said go to Wayfair or Amazon online. I shopped and shopped. I finally found a couch that I liked, excitedly bought it on Amazon. Then the nightmare began. FedEx is delivering my package... except they don't come upstairs, and won't put it in your house. I told them why they would need to bring the couch into my actual house. (Disabled, and a senior). I called and called, then finally, I was told the only way I could get it in the house was to meet the driver and see if I could talk him into it. (I figured that meant to tip him).
After numerous attempts to get a straight answer, the package finally arrived. I had to pay an additional $70.00 to get the couch in the elevator, and into my place, then out of the box, and set up. The installer took the giant box and all the wrapping down to the dumpster. THEN I TRIED OUT the couch. Like a plank of wood. I called Amazon the next day, said I do not want it. Amazon will not interfere with the third party company - the seller- Furniture Mania, or FEDEX. The one and only person at Furniture Mania claims she does not have a supervisor. She is now saying that even though I agreed that I would return it in the original box, she will allow me to return it in a box that I "may happen to have", or I can go purchase one. This starts the whole scenario over again. I will have to hire someone to do all of that for me.
I do not have the desire to ever go back to Amazon, FedEx, and especially FURNITURE MANIA. Now, I have filed an ABC claim, which takes one to two weeks, and they expect me to store their couch here (for free). I have already bought a new couch (local store, their own delivery company), and have scheduled to have my house painted. I want their couch out of here, so it does not get paint on it, and I can put my couch there when it arrives. The part I really do not get is the part where they ignore the problem: that I am disabled, so cannot participate. Is this discrimination? AGEism? I think so.

I have ordered several times from a company that I love but they use FedEx and for this reason I will never buy from them again. I cannot begin to explain how furious it makes me when I am told to wait from 8 am to 8 pm for a package. How is it that they cannot provide an accurate estimate of what time my package will arrive? I say accurate because today I was told around 10:30 am and it is now after 2 pm, still I have been waiting on this package like a dog by the front windows to make sure I can see when they arrive. Why have I been sitting by the window all day? Because they deliver to my neighbor's home every single time and so I have to run out there before it seems like I'm stealing a package at my neighbor's home... They could not care about less about wasting my time or anyone else. I can't figure out how they are still in business with such awful service.

A package sent to me through FedEx 2-day ground was delivered to a city 90 miles from my actual destination. Tracking showed FedEx tried 3 times to deliver the package in the wrong city. I emailed FedEx 4 times asking why they were trying to deliver the package in the wrong city. There was never any reply. I called customer service and was connected to a woman who sounded like she was in the Philippines. She obviously had zero idea about U.S. geography.
I told her the package was in the wrong city and she answered that I could just go and pick up the package. I told her the trip would be 180 miles RT for a $15 item and I had no intentions of making that trip. The customer service woman was useless. Next, a man who worked for FedEx in the city where the package was routed incorrectly called. The phone number he called on did not take calls. The number he provided was not a good number. So, I never got my package. UPS and USPS make plenty of mistakes, but the experience with FedEx was the worst!

My father has a Galaxy S3 Gear Frontier smartwatch that he absolutely loves. One night, I got interested in buying one for myself and, after getting the feel of the device from his and doing my research, I ordered one off of Amazon for $250 on Saturday, August 25th. When Amazon said they would ship it with FedEx... I grimaced. Now, it is Friday, September 7th, and now I guarantee that will be $250 dollars I'm most likely never going to see again.
When I ordered it along with the accessories, I thought it would ship along with them, y'know, like a logical person would assume. That Tuesday at my workplace, I got the bands and cases... but no watch. I look to the tracking, and the delivery got pushed back to Thursday. Now, it was Thursday and no sign of FedEx anywhere. I'm watching the streets like a hawk, and nothing shows up. After my shift ends, I look back at the tracking and it got pushed back AGAIN to today. Needless to say, I was getting to the end of my wire waiting for this $250 watch.
Well, it gets to a state over from where I live, and guess what? No, really, I want you to pause reading this review and just take a wild guess at what the FedEx tracking showed me. I'll wait. You done? Well, if you guessed that the expensive $250 package got botched, THEN DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER! Yep. FedEx carelessly set fire to my money, needless to say. I mean, who cares, right? Amazon already paid them to ship it, they got their cut, who cares about the owner of the package? $250? Well, they make that by overbilling their unfortunate customers in just one day!
I've heard a lot of horror stories from my coworkers about FedEx, too many to count. Stories of fragile packages being thrown at their front doors, stories of packages arriving absolutely decimated, and if you were on the fence about if these were simply over exaggeration, well I can put your mind to rest because I and several other people in this review section can 100% confirm these stories are true.
Please, please, for the love of all that is holy, if you are shipping something, don't put your consumers through the torture that comes with shipping with FedEx. There's a reason why it's cheap. Also, if you have come under the most unfortunate circumstances in which your package is shipping with FedEx, I IMPLORE you to go ahead and ask for your money back and save yourself some time. Do not give these people your business!

I just most unprofessional & awful experience with FedEx ground location in South San Francisco on San Mateo Ave. My pkg was held at this location for missing apt/unit #. When 1st found out about this pkg issue a week ago, Called FedEx customer service immediately but didn’t get pkg even after 3 days. Called customer again & they informed that due to system error the unit # provide got never updated in the system, provide unit # again & the customer service confirms that the pkg will be delivered by next day. The next day, the pkg got delivered & receives automated text message saying that pkg was not able to delivered as a unit # is missing on the shipping address. Called again, was getting the same ** excuse saying that the due to system error, the provided unit # never got updated in the system.
I had requested for manager at the FedEx location that they have my pkg held at. The manager from the south San Francisco informed me with same excuse & asks if I want to pick up the pkg myself. Told he that I will pick the Pkg myself after work. When arrived at the location after work, the pick up location had no instruction for how the item can be picked & after waiting for about 15 minutes, someone came & asked for the tracking & he had disappeared for about 20 minutes without any update. Other people standing there for their Pkg told me that they have been standing there waiting for someone to look for their pkg for 45 minutes & some waiting over an hour. Asked for the manager & she tells me they are still looking for my pkg. After waiting for another 15 minutes, other guys comes over & ask for tracking # for my pkg again.
When asked where do the 1st who took the tracking # to look for my pkg, the another tells me he does not know. At that point, I just lost my patience & had asked for the manager again but she never showed up but another came back with my pkg after waiting her for almost hour. This location the over FedEx experience was the was & this place definitely needed some serious reorganization as well as there was basically no management or process at all. If someone from FedEx in upper management position, they really need to re-evaluate current management at this location, as employee at this location is basically killing its business & reputation. So, disappointed with current FedEx customer service.

This is about my third time ordering from a certain company who always uses FedEx. I am never home when the package arrives and always take the door tag to the location to pick up. Every time I call in advance to find out if the driver is running on time and they always tell me the exact time that is on the door tag. Every single time I come to the Cookeville Tennessee location the driver is always late. Not just a couple minutes late, usually 15 minutes or more late. So once again, I am sitting in my car for 15-30 minutes waiting for the driver to show up with my package. They don’t care one bit about anyone else’s time.

I both ship and buy a lot online. I've never had much luck with the quality of FedEx shipping so I hesitated to use them. Going against my own instincts because they were cheaper on shipping items via eBay so I thought I would try it again. In around a month, I shipped out to 3 buyers. Each order contained 3 items and each shipment there was trouble. The driver blamed it on FEDEX SOFTWARE so they couldn't enter the tracking information right supposedly although all 3 items in each shipment had COMPLETELY DIFFERENT tracking numbers.
The items would not show up on tracking, the story is too long to tell on here but the last shipment disappeared for days. Showed completely bogus information on the tracking as to the shipment origin etc. Later I went to check my eBay invoices to find that eBay and FEDEX had over billed me on the items because the tracking was entered incorrectly. They On each of these orders, they showed one amount when I shipped and on ONE ITEM in each of these orders, I found out later when I got my invoice from eBay, that they had OVERbilled me around $20-25 EACH on one item in each of these shipments.
Mind you 2 of the items out of 3 in each shipment were identical, came from the same place but when I got the invoice, the charges showed that it would cost 28-32 dollars to ship these items and when I got the bill, they charged me $48.00 for one and 58.00 for the other. I looked back and found they had did it on all 3 orders. Meaning in 3 ORDERS they over billed me around 70.00 total.
They knew they did it. Their rep online even SAID they did it and they REFUSED to give me my money back even though their software over billed me. The rep told me that if they refunded the money it would go back to eBay instead of me that I would have to get EBAY to do it and eBay said that FEDEX got the money not them. Basically they are committing OVER BILLING FRAUD. If you sell on eBay you should check every invoice and copy it to make sure they aren't stealing from you.
The story continues. I order all the time from WALMART online grocery shopping. At least once or twice a week. I complained to FEDEX over and over about my packages disappearing and then this overbilling issue. I complained to the drivers because all of my items since around that time come to me damaged or torn all to pieces. I've complained to Walmart and they've documented it over and over.
I don't know why Walmart won't give us a choice of shippers. I am going to continue to order from Walmart. It's not their fault that FEDEX employees apparently don't care how they treat your items and have no respect for other people's property. It's just sorry how they treat their customers and even while they admit that they've over billed me on these items, they still refuse to refund my money. That's theft and it needs to be looked into by Some kind of government agency. If they did it to me, no doubt they're doing it to other people.
As far as their destructive behavior. I don't know how they stay in business doing things like this and I don't know how they allow their employees to treat people's merchandise entrusted to their care like this and worse of all, I don't know how they get away with overbilling customers which is fraud. They even admit they did it and refused to give me my money back. I felt I had no recourse but to warn people.
If you own a business, I suggest you use another shipper and if Walmart wants to have any success with their Online shipping and grocery departments, they should strongly consider giving their customers another shipping option. I would pay extra to be given another choice. Even if it cost me an extra $5.00 a shipment, I would gladly pay it to NOT have to have FEDEX ship my items.
Lastly, I'm going to post a review every time they destroy my property from here on out to warn other businesses and people and make them understand how this shippers' employees have continually abused my merchandise and let people know that they should check all of their invoices done through EBAY BILLING for FEDEX. You're probably going to find some billing fraud going on. I shipped with them 3 TIMES in around a month and ALL 3 TIMES, they ripped me off of around 20-25 dollars. As you can imagine, I won't be using them any longer and if WALMART would give me a choice, they wouldn't be bringing my items either. Until then, Walmart chooses to replace the items so I'll have to put up with it because quite apparently, nobody cares about what their customers think.

Recently, I made a business account with work to use FedEx when we ship things internationally. It comes with a 90 day welcome package, where you can contact a rep via email and ask any questions to them directly. Which, I thought would extend further past my 90 days. However, when I contacted the person I was refused my questions being answered and instead told to call the service desk (because my 90 days was up). This is severely dissatisfying, as with Purolator I always have a representative I can contact by email for business purposes; it should be the same for FedEx. I would highly consider they review this process. This is a loss for FedEx as we will no longer be using their services.

The poorest service that I could have ever received. I never thought that a company would provide a service like that. My package was expected to arrive on Wednesday, August 29 and it has been a week already that I am waiting for this package to be delivered. The package is indirect signature required, so I had to be at home waiting; however, it looks like that the drivers did not even attempt to deliver it, they marked that it was delivered or they just say that they tried to deliver it, which is also a lie because there was no doortag on my door and I was at home waiting for it.
Also, a problem that appeared to me was the impossibility to track the package myself, some representative of your customer service said that was normal a driver mark as delivered and not deliver the package, I do not understand how is something like this normal. I can't be waiting days and more days for a package, it really affected me mentally and financially at school and at work. In addition, the Representatives from the FedEx customer service does not know anything about my package, they keep saying that they could not reach out the facility of South San Francisco because "there was no one there" or "they don't answer". I really hope that I can at least have my package one day.

I watched the FedEx guy pick up my package form my lawyer's office. Never heard from it again. The guy who actually picked up my package said he left it at the depot and I believe him. The package was NEVER scanned and when I inquired about the tracking number they said it was domestic United States and since I was in Canada it was supposed to be international. Either way I said, "It got to Canada from the US so why did it not get back to the US?" No one at FedEx has replied to my queries; not even an email.
Each person you talk to tries to place the blame on someone else and no one ever accepts responsibility. Obviously someone needs to start at the beginning and find out what happened to my package but they do nothing. No one says, "Oh I'll call the depot." or "I'll check with the dispatch." They just say, "The package has not been scanned so we do not know what happened to it." Unacceptable! Customer service at FedEx is non-existent.

I received a text from the FedEx notification that my package was delivered on my porch while I was home. There was no package & I saw the contracted driver leave my street at the other end. I immediately called FedEx and they provided me with a trace #. I called back 2 days later as I still hadn't received my package, their systems were down. I called days after due to the holiday weekend. I was on the phone for 25 minutes and then I was automatically transferred to do their customer service survey, then the call hung up! I called back & had to explain everything again, and the trace department states that the local terminal messaged back that the customer picked up - which is me. Then I tell the person that I did not pick up my package as I do not know what house they left it and I am not going up & down the street looking for it not knowing who lives there & it is 24lbs.
FedEx has the nerve to tell me to contact the shipper to let them know that FedEx lost the package... & I am telling them to send the driver out who apparently doesn't know how to use GPS and pick it up and deliver it. FedEx is too lazy and having contracted drivers is the problem -- this was not a person with the normal FedEx purple/orange logo, this was a vehicle with a contracted driver.
FedEx is lacking customer service and not taking responsibility for their mistakes by making the drivers go back to the wrong delivery location. They just tell you to deal with the shipper of the item. Terrible shipper & terrible assistance to the customer - especially when the customer is telling you that the delivery is on the same street wrong house but won't send out the driver who messed up. By the way, this is the 2nd time this has happened... How do you mess up delivery to a wrong house when you have GPS??? DUH Good riddance FedEx!!

I have several screenshots of proof that the item was NOT delivered, as well as a claim filed against them for this, as the driver fraudulently claims he dropped it off at the specific time on the confirmation, even though I have sent screenshots time stamped at 1:00, 2:00, 4:00, and 6:00 proving it was still listed as in transit at those times.

I am 0 for 2 on my last 2 item shipped by FedEx. The first item, a book my daughter needed for college, they lost. I opened a case to track it - I had to initiate every conversation. Two weeks later (after class had started), they informed me that it was lost. I would need to contact the book vendor to file a claim, recoup my loss and get another book! Thank for absolutely nothing FEDEX!!! Where’s customer service & accountability? The vendor & I didn’t lose the book - you did! My second item - a dorm table was ordered and I was told it was to arrive August 30th - in time for my daughter to pick it up over the Labor Day weekend & take back to school.
Did it arrive on time? Nope. Received an update from the vendor today, that it will arrive by 8pm Tuesday - after my daughter is back in school. Guess FedEx took off early for the weekend. Clearly they don’t care about customers or delivering packages on time - don’t they realize folks rely on their service. If I lost my work or was late meeting my deadlines, I would be fired. Maybe some vendors need to start finding new a new shipping service.

Repeatedly Fedex documents delivery 24 to 72 hours before delivery is actually made. When contacted they stick with their false data concerning delivery. I have several security cameras mounted outside my home. I can see clearly who comes in my 750 driveway. As stated, it has happened several times and I have contacted Fedex and they start a case for the item that was documented as delivered but no answers are available as to why they document to the buyer and seller false data about the delivery time and dates.
With Walmart orders, I contact Walmart and they send out an additional product to replace the product that was not delivered. The next day I get the first delivery and then the replacement delivery. I then have to call Walmart and get a return authorization for Fedex to come back and pick up the second delivery and return to Walmart. Works the same with my Amazon orders. Sad situation and Fedex seems to be ok with the performance.

I paid $$$$ for overnight express shipping. The tracking at first said the package would arrive on time, but later in the day it changed and said the package would actually arrive five days later. Tried calling FedEx to see what was going on and it is damn near impossible to reach a human. When I did reach someone, that person was of no help. Waste of money and time.

An automatic shipment order I have had coming to my house for over a year, has been delayed by a week each of the past three scheduled deliveries. FedEx changes the tracking data daily stating shipment is out for delivery, but it never shows. Eventually after a few days of FedEx changing the tracking data, the tracker will indicate the driver cannot find my house. We are again in a situation with FedEx in which my daughter ordered a time sensitive package and again FedEx keeps changing the tracking info stating it is out for delivery, but the package never comes. When calling FedEx about this problem, agents do not seem to be concerned and just indicate they will pass the information along to the local distribution center. Is there any recourse against FedEx for their improper handling of deliveries?

It was supposed to be a 1-2 day express home delivery. I got a notice by mail the second day it would show up at 6 PM. It never did and I waited frustratingly 40 minutes only to call their customer service and find out they close at 6 PM. Finally I get a number which takes me to their robot customer service. Which after 15 minutes of hassle tells me the package is on route for delivery. So I continue waiting. Of course no one shows up.
By the third day I get a new notice that it will be delivered by 11 AM. Home from work, waiting in the kitchen, in good hearing distance from the front door. Together even with my Doberman (guard dog) who - if I against all odds would've missed it - would bark and run to the door at any sounds. After waiting 2 hours I head back to work only to find the delivery man has left a notice claiming to have called - this obviously ain't so. By the fourth and fifth day I get two more notices by mail that it will be delivered by 6 PM. No one shows up. Both me, my dog and my two flatmates have been home.
After writing to their customer service I've gotten to know it is apparently impossible for them to make a phone call before delivery or give any more precise delivery time than between 9 AM to 6 PM. As a normal, working man I have NO possibility to wait around for 9 hours on a weekday to wait for a delivery-man that might not even ring the doorbell.
The only feasible way for them to deliver is if I write a note on the door. The package is private in nature and I do not wish to have it waiting in the open to be opened or stolen. I chose express 1-2 days international home delivery and paid extra for it. I needed it for a special occasion, thought that perhaps I could still have a use for it after it arrived late - but not on the eighth day and it is still not delivered properly I have emailed them that they might as well return it. A waste of 20 pounds, 6 hours of waiting and emailing and I've got nothing. Use anything but FedEx.

Last year, a driver SUPPOSEDLY made a delivery to my home noted as "delivered" on the sender's and FedEx website. PACKAGE WAS NEVER delivered at least not to my home (security tape to prove it). After I complained to all parties involved, mysteriously the driver showed up 3 days later with the package. When I inquire about the whereabouts of the package, I could not get any answers. On 8/28/18, another driver delivered a package to my address. The instruction (which is also clearly stated in my profile on FedEx manager) is that the package is to be delivered to the back door for medical reasons. Instead, the driver dropped the package at the front door which is not easily accessible to me given that the package is heavy and I only have one working arm.
I immediately called FedEx, the first agent I spoke to offered to send the driver back to rectify their error. It is now over 24 hours, no one has showed up to move the package, instead all I get is "Sorry, we don't know how it happened" or " I don't know why the driver dropped the package at the front". People do make it mistakes, BUT when you can rectify it, you should do the right thing. FedEx had an opportunity to rectify this issue and chose to do nothing. Where is the leadership at FedEx? What kind of training are they giving nowadays? Where is the decency? Anyone should be able to access their package regardless of any limitations they may have as in my case a medical illness.

Place of the package in the wrong place. I requested all packages to be delivery at the front door of the house, for two reasons: I had an operation of my lower back, and can only lift 10 pounds.

Every time a package is delivered to the side of my house my car is damage or mirror re-arrange, the space is very tight. By delivering the package at front I can monitor the package and protected from people and rain (until my daughter gets home), and not when is on the side of the house.

I shipped things on 8/21 and received an email estimating delivery for 8/23. I shipped things across the country using FedEx Ground so I wasn't expecting it to only take two days. The issue is: none of the alerts I signed up for were working. We got no notification of the change in estimated delivery dates. I just got a call on Sunday from our client saying that items that were supposed to arrive Friday weren't there. We had to call and request the items be delivered first thing on Monday (the new estimated delivery date, 4 days after originally estimated). They arrived at 10:05 am. Bottom line, don't ever trust FedEx's estimations or their notification systems.

I'd always thought FedEx was one of the more reliable shippers, but I haven't used them in a while. And I won't use them again. We scheduled a home pickup for yesterday to get several boxes of my son's belongings up to his college before move-in day. We were told that the pickup window would be between 8 am and 6 pm or something, so we sat home all day and waited for the pickup. When no one had arrived a little after 6, my son called and was told that the driver had come by at 4:30 but no one was home--total BS. (I even know exactly what I was doing at 4:30--feeding my dog in the kitchen because she gets grouchy if she's not fed at 4:30)!
Then I called them myself. The rep had nothing useful to say at all, except that maybe we should put a big sign with our apartment number on our door in case the driver couldn't see it. I have stuff delivered here all the time--no one else seems to have a problem "seeing" the apartment number! And there are only two apartments in the building--two doors! Really not so complicated... So now we have another pickup scheduled for today--another day of waiting around. I called customer service again to see if we could get an approximate time... nope.
The rep obviously didn't give a rat's ** about the issue. I'm usually pretty polite to customer service people, but they are so unresponsive that I actually said, "Do you people actually care about any of this?!" They act as if they're still writing orders down on slips of paper rather than using any kind of computer system, and apparently their drivers either just lie or don't know what the letter "B" looks like. And FedEx doesn't care. So here we sit for another day... not holding my breath for a pickup. Through with FedEx.

I urgently needed to get a small package (2.5kg (5.7lb) shipped from Toronto Airport to my Hotel in Reykjavik/Island. This is a 5-hour flight and a 30min drive. As I urgently needed the content of the box, I order with FEDEX an International Priority shipment. I paid for this 273,87$ for this service- this was more than I paid for my personal flight with 20kg luggage and the transport to the Hotel on the same route some hours before!
While I did not expect that you can ship at the same time as I traveled- even if it cost more- I was expecting a “priority” shipment in around 2 days- based on previous experiences on such shipments (4 times the physical shipment time). It took them 7 days(!) for a priority shipment. As a result I could not conduct some urgent business, had to postpone my departure from the hotel in Reykjavik, spent additional money on Taxi, phone calls and time. FedEx has a nice tracking system- It showed that most of the days the priority package was not moving at all! I complained with them- again a nice tool- but no response. Would not recommend to use them at all.

FedEx was once an excellent company providing excellent service. In my business experience in a huge metropolitan area it always was. Unfortunately, my current home experience with FedEx has been absolutely dreadful. I don’t know if this has to do with the fact that I now reside in the boondocks and no longer in a huge metropolitan area. Below are two situations that have occurred far more than once. I often have to be present for certain deliveries as they require an adult signature. So I come home at the time I am informed the deliveries will be made: between 12:05pm and 8pm. I arrive at my home at 11:00am only to find that delivery has been made to some other individual more than two hours before 12:05pm, and signed for by this other person.
So, I request that packages ONLY be delivered to ME. Yet they frequently are delivered to whatever person the FedEx idiot lays eyes on - if that much. So, MY packages with MY name are delivered to anybody who happens to be around. The FedEx idiot does not obtain the name of the receiving and signing person, so they enter MY name over someone else’s signature. I DID NOT SIGN FOR OR RECEIVE THE PACKAGE. The person who was given the package never turns it over to me.
When I file a complaint I am rudely informed that I signed for it and hence have nothing to complain about. I lost my time, and I lost my package. Something else that occurs is that if it is raining, or the FedEx idiot does not see a vehicle in front of the home, THEY DO NOT EVEN KNOCK - they fill out the sticky note indicating that there was nobody available to sign for and accept delivery of the package, stick the note on the door, and leave.
I have actually witnessed this while I was at home waiting for a delivery I was instructed to be at home for - I saw the FedEx truck pull up, driver get out and place sticky note on my door. HE DID NOT KNOCK, or ring the doorbell. I opened my front door, called out, FedEx idiot runs by right in front of me while I am hollering at him, he jumps into truck, and leaves. With my package. Once again, I do not have my package. For all this I take time off work to be at home to sign for and receive my delivery. For all my efforts to follow FedEx’s instructions, my packages either get delivered to someone else, or no attempt is made to deliver. And I PAY LOTS OF MONEY for this nonsense.

A FedEx package was scheduled to be delivered to me today. Then suddenly it says A delivery attempt was made but the business was closed. 1. I am not a business. 2. My driveway is alarmed and photo taken when alarm goes off. No one ever pulled into my driveway to even try to deliver to me. I called FedEx support and they are very unhelpful, I told them their employee is a liar and should be written up for lying. They acted like this was a normal occurrence there.

FedEx doesn't appear to have cracked the home delivery market. It's still much better at delivering to an office, where human contact is found. I stayed home all day for a wine.com delivery and nobody showed up. This allows the driver to claim they have made an attempt, but nobody but the driver knows if that's true. On my delivery day, nobody buzzed my apartment number, nor phoned me, nor left notification that they had made an attempt. Even the updates on the site simply say, Loaded onto truck for delivery in the morning. This provides an easy method for drivers to cheat the system because FedEx doesn't make contact for attempted delivery, like a phone call or attempted delivery notification. The bad news for wine.com is I no longer make regular orders to them unless they plan on changing shippers.

This is the second time FedEx has done this to me, I got an notification stating my package was delivered @ 12:01 pm. Mind you my daughters were home and mom was there as well. Called and ask. Did anything to check outside. My daughters looked and nothing was outside, I asked did anyone ring the doorbell, they said no one rang the bell. I get off work. Call FedEx. Worst customer service. No one had empathy. Advised they'll have to speak with the driver.
Called today @ 12:30 pm. Spoke with the rep asking why I haven't gotten a call. Per the notes they're still waiting for the driver to respond and will get to me this afternoon. Keep in mind this has happen to me before I ordered something for a family reunion. It says the package was delivered. It was delivered to a house that almost has the same address. I live on 13th ave and 68th ter and they live on 13th ave and 68th St. Of course the first thing I did is drove to the home, ask the people who lives there did they receive a package. Of course they said no. They did not. So I'm livid with the driver and the customer service.

I recently shipped the package via FedEx from Las Vegas that required a signature. It was due to be delivered on Saturday, 11 August. The FedEx man rang the doorbell and left saying no one was home. The door was open and you could see that someone was home. My husband had literally just stepped into the bathroom. The FedEx driver was gone before he could get to the door and now we have to wait until Tuesday to get our package. When I called the number on the sheet I was told I couldn’t even pick up my package. This is unsatisfactory!
Updated on 08/14/2018: My package was supposed to be delivered on Saturday and required a signature, they left a note saying no one was home even though my husband was. This morning I got a notice saying it was delivered but it was not delivered to me. My husband called FedEx within 30 minutes of the notice and they said they would track down the driver and get the package back. It is now seven hours later and I just got off the phone with FedEx again. The driver delivered two packages today but is out of the area until tomorrow and he will try to get it back then.
If I do not get it by 16 August I must initiate a lost package claim through FedEx. This package was valued have $1000 and required a signature from my home but someone else who is given my package. It contained clothes and gifts that I purchased in Las Vegas, are they also going to pay for me to fly out to Vegas and buy these things again - I think not!!! The lady I spoke to on the phone said, "Let’s hope for the best, and thank you for using FedEx." The gall of this person, I will never use FedEx again!

My company uses FedEx to send documents and packages. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve called a customer because the FedEx website claimed that their package was delivered, only to hear “I’ve been home all day and haven’t seen a FedEx truck.” Or, the FedEx website will have the status “Undeliverable - returned to shipper” so I’ll call the customer to let them know and they’ll say, “What are you talking about? I got it hours ago.”
On a personal note, I’m writing this while I’m waiting for someone at Customer Service to answer the phone (42 minutes and counting) because my package was supposed to be delivered today, but it’s been sitting at one of their distribution centers for 24 hours and hasn’t moved. Do you remember the scene in Cast Away where Tom Hanks was washed up on the shore surrounded by undelivered FedEx boxes? I think that scene perfectly sums up this business.

Ordered a PC for my daughter. She is turning 13, you all know that age. It's a pretty big deal in most homes. FedEx was supposed to deliver it on Friday, the day before her family get together/celebration. Needed a signature. So I took the day off. I watched 2 FedEx vans drive through my neighborhood, l and then a lady in a large box truck. (Talk about inefficiencies and waste...)
As the big truck left I checked my status for delivery, irritated because we all gate to wait haha, and it said "unable to deliver." Right as she left... I immediately called and was given sorry after sorry.... was told "Saturday delivery, miss work and the bday party to sign." So here it is Saturday. I waited from 7 a.m. because I didn't know their start time, until 2 p.m. when I seen the box truck pull in, same lady from the day before, gets out. She walks to the door across the street, bangs once, immediately walks away and jumps in her truck and rolls out faster than I could go out the door.
I check my updates online. Wont attempt delivery again until Tuesday. 3 days of missed work. Maybe 4 if I stay home Monday out of fear they may try to deliver them. I call. Im told sorry. Im told "let me see what I can do." They come back on to tell me they have no way of doing anything, basically... so basically I should just ** off and maybe they will come back today and if not then Monday and if not then Tuesday or January 3rd, 2057...

I paid FedEx to ship my transmission. This is the biggest regret and nightmare I’ve ever had in life. Not only was it not picked up on scheduled date but it was delivered days after the scheduled drop off. Upon delivery they completely destroyed my transmission. Customer claims department then refuses to pay for it or even take responsibility!!! The problem didn’t stop there. One customer service manager by the name of NICHOL began to slander my character. "You are just like the rest of the unsatisfied customers that try to scam us now to paying for your broken item." NICHOL customer service manager at the Bristol office. Reason for not approving and owning their mistake were: 1. no claim value; 2. package was never securely protected.
So doing my own leg work I received a security video of the auto yard I bought transmission from showing my package on a pallet with plastic wrap. I never received my pallet or the plastic with my transmission. They then began to increase the lies even with video confirmation!!! Reason 2. No claimed value... Well my receipt from my local FedEx office clearly state I claimed the value. Still I was denied my refund. After weeks of fighting and calling everyday I finally got approved to find out 3 weeks more waiting for my money was still not approved by a manager!!
As it stands today my car has been sitting at a shop collecting storage fees as the mechanic had taken my car apart in expectation of a fully functioning transmission to be delivered the day of dismantling my car. So $25 dollars a day for 30 days now is 750$ (And still adding up) that I should not have to pay due to FEDEX negligence in shipping and caring for my package. By the time they finish I’ll have more debt than my car is actually worth by KBB standards.

Today, they stopped in front of our condo, remained in the truck, and then posted the package as undeliverable. They said there was no one available to receive the package. We were standing in front of the door looking at them!!! When we called the helpline, they said... "Sorry. Maybe tomorrow or the next." Really??? We have now learned to use UPS or USPS.

I work for the post office. Most people don't know that both UPS and FedEx use the postal service to not only initiate shipments, but to deliver many of their packages. I had to return a camera that didn't work. I used the printed shipping label provided by the maker of the camera and dropped it off at the post office where I work. It took FedEx four days to pick the package up from the post office. It then took another four days for the package to arrive in Houston, less than 200 miles from the origin. Now, three weeks later, there is still no further scans indicating the package has gone anywhere.
On to customer service: FedEx makes you jump through some hoops just to access their online "chat" with a customer service rep. And then you find out you're in the queue at number 34. Seriously? I have to wait through 34 other unhappy people before I can find out that you do not, in fact, have any clue where my package has gone? It isn't like I actually need the camera, right? The next time I have to ship something I will not be using FedEx. Ever.
Updated on 08/09/2018: After finally getting to "chat" with a FedEx customer rep I was told that since "too much time" has elapsed they cannot track the package. They took the package, scanned it into their system, lost it somewhere, and conveniently deleted the tracking information. Now I have to contact the manufacturer, who foolishly utilized FedEx for their package returns, and get them to initiate a claim.
At this point I will now have to purchase another camera at my expense if I expect to ever get to use it for the intended purpose. Waiting another six months or so for FedEx to issue any claim money isn't an option. Using any other available shipping service, including the guy down the street with his donkey, rather than FedEx is certainly an option I will take. What a ridiculously inept company.

I already knew that FedEx was useless, so if it had been my choice, I would not have shipped through them. But unfortunately, an online seller chose FedEx as their shipper. I got a tracking number. The package was marked as delivered on the front porch in the tracking system. I open the door. Nothing. I go to the garage in case they dropped it off in front of the garage. Nothing there. I go to the community mailbox (it's a gated community). Nothing there, either.
So, I complain to FedEx via email, because even before this incident their tracking system had been completely useless. I knew that the seller most likely wasn't at fault. (And no, I don't call them for 'customer service' anymore, because it's equally useless, I don't know what is on file with them, and they keep changing their words. At least with email, I have something written down.) I also contact the seller to see if he has more information on his end.
Poor seller doesn't get a proper response. He agrees to send me a new package. Only after that does FedEx respond to me with an email saying that 'after careful research,' they found that my package arrived at this and that time -- the timestamp that the faulty tracking system showed. Basically they did not read my complaint at all. It's insulting for them to regurgitate canned responses. The worst part is that all their 'customer service' responses imply that I'm some kind of lying consumer. Because yes, if they keep referring to their tracking system and repeating that the package has been delivered, it means that they just don't believe that their oh-so-perfect delivery system could ever go faulty, therefore, I must be the one lying.
This has taught me a lesson. NEVER. NEVER. NEVER deal with FedEx. Every time I purchase something online, I will contact the seller and CHECK that they aren't using FedEx. In my experience, even USPS was better than FedEx. I sent packages OVERSEAS to military personnel and USPS always managed to deliver it. With FedEx? A humongous gated community is impossible to find, apparently. Unless they found the humongous gated community but failed to read the unit numbers.
People talk of all kinds of big companies that are taking advantage of others. In my opinion, more modern big companies at least have a good customer service (i.e. the customer service representative is able to read and does read your message.) Older companies like FedEx that operate on inertia and merely exist because it has been existing for a long time, despite its lack of quality and indifference to customer service, are the companies that must really disappear. Do not use FedEx unless you have a lot of time to waste.

On Thursday a FedEx driver came to my door to deliver a package for my sister. He had me sign for it and then asked in a hostile manner if he had come to our door to deliver the same package before. Since it was not for me I told him that I didn't know, and said probably. I did think it was odd that he would know what was being delivered when at the time I didn't even know what it was.
It also seemed that he was implying having issues with delivering something similar to the same address. I personally, used to have a recurring subscription order with Chewy that was delivered by FedEx but I have since had to cancel because the drivers would claim no one was home, even though we were, and I would have to go to the FedEx store and pick it up.
The next day the second part of that package was scheduled to be delivered. This time the same driver came and again was very hostile and insisted that he needed my sister's ID to deliver the package. I was surprised by this and told him I didn't have her ID because my sister was at work, his response was "then I can't give this package to you" and walked away with it. I was surprised by this because I knew that this particular package consisted of only two cell phone cases. Nothing major or expensive, it wasn't even medication or something serious, the driver was simply angry and was taking that anger out on us.
I immediately called FedEx customer service and told them about what happened. No one called me back and on Saturday I found out that the package was being returned to sender. How the driver's anger escalated so quickly I do not understood. I was never rude to him, even though he was rude to me but it seems as if he was also punishing us for having a recurring delivery. So basically I can no longer have anything delivered to my home because the driver who works our route has a problem with delivering to us especially if it's a recurring delivery. So no subscription boxes for us because he won't deliver it.
This is highly unprofessional and I don't understand how he can get away with that. I also don't think it is right for him to come across so hostile to a woman home alone. So the FedEx drivers in my neighborhood lie and say they attempt to deliver when they don’t or when they do show up they are angry if it’s a subscription box/recurring order. There are so many people out there desperate for work yet this FedEx driver is angry because he didn’t want to deliver something? How rude, unprofessional and simply crazy!

Are they lazy, incompetent, or just plain dumb?

I recommend never using FedEx ever! I placed an order 7/17 and I was told my product should arrive 7/20. I get an email 7/20 that my order was delivered at the front door at 1:23 pm. False, it was never delivered! I was home all day. I looked around my house, at each door, even looked in my flower beds and bushes! Nothing. Not to mention, I have a dog that barks when there is someone at the door. Nothing. I waited until the following day, 7/21, and called FedEx customer service. Horrible! They “opened an investigation” and gave me a case number and said someone would call back after 2 hours. Never heard from them until 7/23. I missed their call, and called them back, and got the same exact run around.
I asked to be transferred to someone else, as I could barely understand the human in the other line. This other lady stated my package was “misdelivered”, really? She said the delivery driver has 48 hours to get the missing package back and to me. She said if I don’t see it by 7/25, I need to call the company I ordered the product from. Well, sure enough. It never came. I ordered an Apple Watch from Walmart online. So I called the Walmart it came from. Was on hold for 20 minutes. I hung up and called again. Same thing. Like seriously?
I finally got through to someone the third time and they directed me to the online customer service. So I chatted online with some random person about my missing package. Ugh, they tell me that I need to file a police report with my local law enforcement and submit it to a email address that was given to me via online chat. I went and filed my police report 7/26 and sent it in immediately. They have 24 hours to reply to me and get me a replacement product. So we will see how long it takes and I hope they don’t ship it via FedEx again. The FedEx driver just decide he wanted my Apple Watch that day? I shouldn’t have to go as far as the police to get my Apple Watch. I should be able to trust that it will get here. I am very disappointed. And I am surprised FedEx is still in business after all these poor reviews. Get a grip on your business and punish your employees for poor service. That should never be acceptable.

I've been very disappointed with their service. They have the worse customer service! One of my packages required a signature and they forged it!!! I am very frustrated with them because I have been waiting for a package for 5 days and apparently whenever they want to deliver the package I am not home, which IS WRONG! Even the driver had my phone number and decided not to call? DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I will no longer be using companies who ship with Fedex. Either the package arrives up to a week after the scheduled delivery date, is sent back to the shipper as undeliverable for NO REASON, or the expected delivery date is way longer than it should be. I am waiting on a package that is in a FedEx facility an hour and a half away but it isn't scheduled to be delivered for another 7 days. What? It takes a week for a package to move 90 miles?
Then there is the condition of the packages and lack of care by their delivery drivers. Several months ago, during a spring rain, their driver THREW a package with breakables and a book out into the rain, landing in a puddle in our driveway. He was literally 20 ft away from our covered porch, but he didn't want to get wet. Better my package get ruined instead apparently. Fortunately I have video surveillance and was able to get a refund for the broken items and the ruined book because it was all caught on camera.
We have since moved and our driveway is now a gravel drive with a turn around at the end. Last week I caught the delivery driver throwing a package that was too large to fit in our mailbox on the ground next to the mailbox and half in the road. He didn't realize our road is a dead end, so when he drove back by I stopped him and asked him about the carelessness of his delivery. He said he didn't drive down gravel driveways. Seriously?! A furniture company drove a semi down it to deliver our furniture, but FedEx can't drive a box truck down it? Or walk the package up to the house if it was that big a deal? I'm done!

Because it rained some in the AM and I live on a dirt road the truck didnt want to deliver it and it hasnt rained the past 8 hours and it's hot and sunny. This isnt the first time that FedEx has done this because a driver dont want to do their job. When I have called about the issue all I can be told is that they have no control over it, they should have control over their employees not doing their jobs. FedEx has false advertisement saying they can deliver in any kind of weather, really? You can't deliver when it's sunny! Will not use them ever again if I can help it, I would rather pay extra than to let FedEx deliver for me.

FedEx made a one time exception for me although I had used insufficient packaging, and we were able to replace our items.
Original Review: July 20, 2018
I don't normally leave reviews, but I am extremely dissatisfied with FedEx. My husband and I moved across the country, and shipped a few boxes. One box came with all of the edges ripped and damaged, and we had three large items ruined. Our panini maker was smashed in, our ice cream freezer was cracked, and our crock pot was smashed in as well. We filed a claim with FedEx, which they denied, saying we had "insufficient packaging." When we dropped the package off, we paid extra to declare the value of the box, thinking that would insure the items inside. Had they told us that the price we paid only insured our items if we had sufficient packaging, we wouldn't have paid the extra to declare the value, or we would've packaged the box differently.
We called FedEx to ask if we could at least get the money back that we paid to declare the value of the box. They said no. The only reason they have you declare a value is to basically insure FedEx against their own mistakes. They are very unwilling to work with you, and they never respond to emails or phone calls. We hope to be able to ship through a source other than FedEx from here on out. The representative told me that "next time, I should have the store check my packaging." Thank you, but that has nothing to do with this particular problem.

I need help. FedEx is claiming that I accepted and signed for a package. I did not. I have been going back and forth with them for some days now. Here is the issue: I placed an order with Comcast. I was given a FedEx tracking number. When I looked up the tracking number, it said that my package was delivered to and signed for by me. It was not. When I called FedEx to correct them, I was called a liar, and my integrity was questioned. I was first told by their representative that my package was delivered to me on the second floor. There is no access to the second floor.
The next day, I was told by their representative that they gave my package to someone claiming to be my uncle. Today, I am told by their representative that they gave it someone claiming to be my nephew. I HAVE NO RELATIVES LIVING IN MY BUILDING! And further, if you know that I did not sign for this package, why do you say that I did??? I asked them why would they not verify the person's identity before handing over my package. I was told that they are allowed to give the package to anyone who answers the door. I argued with them, saying that they have either made a mistake, or the driver kept the package for himself and marked it as delivered.
My apartment building is a collection of close knit, elderly people, none of whom would steal their neighbor's packages. I told them that if they have a signature, it is easy to compare the signatures and see that I did not sign for it. They said that they don't have to prove anything. They denied my claim, saying that the delivery was made, that I signed for it, that I am lying. Why is FedEx allowed to give a package to anyone without verification of identity? If this is their policy, then why can't they accept that mistakes can be made? FEDEX ARE THE ONES WHO ARE LYING. I NEVER SIGNED FOR ANYTHING, AND I WANT MY PACKAGE!
There are 8 units in my clearly marked apartment building. Each unit has a doorbell/buzzer which is clearly marked with unit number. Entry into building is impossible without ringing the apartment number doorbell/buzzer. Anyone wishing entry must be buzzed in by the occupant of the apartment. I was sitting in my living room at the time that my package was supposedly delivered. There is nothing wrong with my doorbell/buzzer. There is nothing wrong with my hearing. NO ONE RANG MY DOORBELL/BUZZER. If he actually made the delivery, why is the delivery person allowed to give a package to anyone without first confirming that person's identity? I just can't understand this policy - it makes no sense, and I really don't appreciate my integrity being put into question because of a mistake made by FedEx, or theft of my package by the delivery driver, which I suspect is what happened.
I did not sign for this package. I never received this package. It is not fair that they can do this and I am helpless to do anything about it. After days of trying to find answers, I have learned that this happens often with FedEx. They seem to be untouchable in these instances. I am extremely incensed and angered by this. Would you please have something done about it? Could I file a police report against the delivery driver?

In late May I purchased a $850 piece of medical equipment which was shipped via FedEx overnight. Three days later it still hadn't arrived, when I received a call from some man identifying himself as being an hour away, and who started complaining about his job and his boss. I finally got him to calm down, which is when he told me he was a FedEx driver who had my equipment on his truck for days but didn't know it, at which point he went into a lengthy rant about how everyone at FedEx but him was at fault. I told him it was medical equipment and already late, but he said there was nothing he could do.
To avoid saying something rude, I hung up and called the main FedEx number, but they also said there was nothing they could do except deliver it later. The other guy then calls me back and says he's going to drive it out to me on his motorcycle "around midnight" and I said NO. The package was delivered the next day by someone else, but the machine never really worked right, possibly after being left on a hot FedEx vehicle for days. The medical supply folks were nice enough to let me return it after it proved to be too much hassle to get it to work, so I ordered a replacement, due here today.
I received notification from FedEx saying the package had been left (no signature this time?) but it wasn't on the porch and it wasn't on any neighbor's porch either. Within 5 minutes of the alleged delivery I called FedEx and they were hilariously unhelpful. She wouldn't call the local delivery outlet (I couldn't find their number to call myself) to talk to the driver, and would only put a trace on the lost package. She suggested it may have been left in some bushes, at which point I checked my neighbor's bushes, and sure enough, the package had been left five houses down in some hedges... after a long morning of rain. Fantastic.
These are neighbors with security cameras and angry dogs, too, so I'm sure they'll love seeing footage of their neighbor rooting around in their yard. (I left a note but who knows how this will play out.) What absolutely galls me is that I occasionally get a small package sent via FedEx, makeup from someplace online or whatever, and rarely a problem. Expensive important medical equipment shipped overnight and suddenly they're all Ace Ventura. I've asked the medical supply store to consider another delivery company.

On 7/5/18 a FedEx driver asked my child to sign off on a product they delivered on 7/3/18. Not knowing any better she did. The FedEx website now says package was delivered 7/2/18 and signed by my child. I Filed 2 complaints online and did receive a callback. The phone representative from FedEx agreed that it is clear there is no chance the package could have been delivered on that date. She derived that decision based on the carrier's notes. I never heard back from them and have stopped perusing this because I was refunded the money from the company in which I purchased the product.

The interesting thing is my dog that always barks when someone comes up to the door, and she DID NOT BARK at this time. However, when I went outside to look on my front porch, there was NO package. I proceeded to go around my home to check outdoor stairs, side garage and even went to look on my neighbor's porches. I like to respect people’s privacy and property and don’t like to bother my neighbors since they have jobs and or families at home during the summer so I just looked on porches. Then I proceed to go online to the FEDEX live chat and had to deal with two representatives who said, “They would put a trace on the package” and wait for a rep to call back later before 5:30 p.m.
I got a call from FedEx around 5:30 p.m. stating “They would trace the driver and to track steps of delivery of my package”. At approximately 8:35 p.m. my package mysteriously is left on my doorstep with an email from FedEx stating it was left. (I knew this because my dog barked and then I checked my emails to confirm the time of 8:35 p.m.) My MAIN problem with FedEx is twofold: 1). FedEx sent me an email at 1:48 p.m. on July 11th, stating my package had ARRIVED and it DID NOT PHYSICALLY ARRIVE on my front porch, as stating in FedEx email. 2). I had to WASTE my valuable time by physically going down my street to check other neighbors' porches and time I took to deal with the QUERY of waiting and LIVE CHATTING with FEDEX reps to track down a package that wasn’t even delivered as originally stated.
Lesson learned: FedEx may send emails stating a package is delivered, but in ACTUALITY may not be on the front porch at the time designated and if you are working outside the home and DON’T have time to follow up, you may lose your packages. Some driver at FedEx is not paying attention to detail in delivering their packages a customer is promised at a specific time.

All of the attempts made by the FedEx customer advocates to contact the facility as well as the facility manager initially failed.
Finally, the last customer advocate got ahold of the people at the facility on the phone, and was told that the driver "made a mistake". Really, the driver made no attempt to do his job and deliver a package, and yet marked that he had attempted to deliver the package-that is not a mistake-it's a bloody LIE. To add insult to injury they also suggested that "I" the customer could drive down to their facility and pick it up!!!
I filed a complaint-number #** with FedEx. Do I expect any answer to the complaint - No. What I do expect is the manager of the New Haven, IN FedEx facility to do is to contact me using the phone number provided on the complaint and not only apologize for my needlessly having wasted a day at my office waiting for my package, as well as what they are going to do with the driver that lied about attempting to deliver my package.

I am filing this complaint to warn other consumer that are expecting deliveries or use this service for delivering their products. I ordered a Dyson vacuum cleaner through Amazon and I have the Prime services. I placed the order on June 29, 2018 and the expected delivery was 7/3/18. No package was delivered and I stayed home from work. I contacted Amazon that stated that something went wrong and the new delivery date was 7/5/18. I stayed home from work a second day and no package, but this time I went to my door and there was a dog tag reflecting that there was a second attempt at delivery.
I immediately contacted Amazon and informed them that I was home all day and no delivery was attempted and the delivery person stated that this was a second attempt. They stated there would be another attempt on 7/7/18, but I quickly informed them that I would not stay home a 3rd time for a delivery. There was never another delivery. I had to contact Amazon for a credit. I was disgusted by the service provided. I would never use this delivery service again. I know that a delivery was never made and the delivery person just placed a door tag, but stole that vacuum cleaner. If you purchase an expensive item have the company conceal the packaging.

We get it urgent package once a month. We live in a house with five other families and each family has their own mailbox with the number and name on it and yet every month FedEx delivers this urgent package to the wrong address. And on the package it says our number and our name and yet they still put it in the wrong number and wrong name. And now they're putting the package in the mailbox lately which is a federal offense or you cannot put anything in a mailbox except USPS... and every month I call up and complain and every month they say they will make sure it's delivered right. They're not trustworthy. They don't understand or can't read English. They're useless.

I ordered some medical supplies that I need for my wounds that I was almost out of and placed an OVERNIGHT next day delivery order on Monday July 2nd, 2018 and only received July 7th, 2018. I placed another OVERNIGHT next day delivery for medical supplies on Thursday July 5th, 2018 and received those medical supplies July 7th, 2018. This company is a JOKE!!! Also, as other consumers stated they kept leaving the packages I did receive at other times in bad weather rain, snow at a side garage door that is never used so I put a note on the door and they still left packages there when I have a covered front porch and a covered back porch!!!

I've had various problems with FedEx over the past two years. The first was a $30 watch that was not delivered, even though the status said it was. When I called their 80 number, the response was "Oh well, those things happen..." I had two more problems right in a row, where they placed exceptions on my packages, stating they could not find my address, heh heh... I own my house, and no one has ever had difficulty finding me... except FedEx drivers apparently. Just yesterday, I had an order for chocolates sit in a hot delivery truck from 4:09 am until it was finally delivered at 5:08 pm... Needless to say, I had to put the box in the freezer to try and save the gooey mess... FedEx has become so unreliable that I've complained to any merchant that uses them for my orders... And it is getting worse rather than better.

So I ordered two packages from Walmart, one came and when I checked emails, it said the other would be delivered the next day before the end of the day. Nothing came. I tracked the package and it said still at the FedEx location (two miles from house). I then looked at the history of the package and saw that it had arrived there on Monday. Tuesday thru Friday, it said "No Attempt Made". Now it's Saturday and it claims it is on the truck, we will see. Why was "No Attempt Made"? It took it only one day to go from TN to OH. Now at least 5 days to go 2 miles. Now If I need to get a package, if only offered by FedEx... "No Attempt Made"!
Just rechecked the tracking and now I got a Monday by end of day delivery date (with a question mark next to it) WTH! If it is on the truck, why wouldn't it be delivered today!? This is so frustrating. I am leaving on a trip Monday afternoon and want what I ordered! I left enough time for any reasonable delivery company to get it here.

I stopped ordering from Chewys because they use FedEx. FedEx would leave packages at my side door instead of front door. My husband made a nice sign and placed it on the side door that states, "Please leave all packages on front porch." Apparently FedEx drivers do not need to be able to read because my packages were left at my side door under the sign. I placed an order that was to be delivered July 6th which was not delivered, FedEx site showed that they tried to deliver it the day before, July 5th but the address was wrong. Funny that the other two items I ordered were delivered on July 5th but yet the address was apparently wrong. How does this company stay in business. I am going to do my best when I order that the company does not use FedEx.

I am happy to report that on Saturday, July 7, FedEx delivered my package to the Walgreens near my home as promised. I am very happy about this. Luckily, it wasn’t lost but just delayed in the system because of the change of delivery venue.

I receive notification on July 2 from FedEx that I had to sign for a package that would be delivered to my home sometime on July 3 between 7:30 in the morning until 8 PM at night. I already had plans all day and so FedEx offered for me to choose to have a delivered to a Walgreens that is two blocks from my neighborhood. FedEx then informed me that instead of my package arriving on Tuesday, July 3, it would be delivered to Walgreens by the end of the day on July 5. Of course, that didn’t happen and my package has been in suspended animation for three days and nobody knows where it is.

I ordered an expensive purse from Sak's a month ago and it was never delivered even though FedEx indicated online they had delivered and left at front door - they absolutely did not! I work from home and I also have a doorbell camera not to mention I live on a small street with no outlet. I filed a claim with Sak's and told them FedEx was never on my street that day as my office window is next to front door and too, the time they said purse was delivered, I was in front yard at that time which was around 6:30pm. I received a refund from Saks but really wanted the purse so I thought I would order once again and this time I requested a signature delivery that way there wouldn't be any complications, right? Wrong!
My package was delivered at 9:33 am on the day they said it would be delivered, today July 5th. I did not sign for it nor did anyone ring doorbell. I found the package on front porch around 12:30 pm when I went to get mail. The packaging was also terrible and it made me wonder if this was the original package that was never delivered a month ago. When I cut open the top of the box, there was my receipt which should have been inside box - this is strange. Purse is in good condition but I went online to see what FedEx had to say about delivering my purse without my signature and it showed the delivery was signed by homeowner - what a lie!
I never signed for anything - if I had why would package be outside for an additional three hours! I honestly believe the delivery person is the same one that lied about delivering my purse a month ago and did not want me to see the guilty look on their face. I called FedEx and got nowhere - I believe the person I was speaking with was in India. It says online they have signature on file - if this person signed my name wouldn't that be forgery? This use to be a good company but it has hired all the wrong people. All other deliveries I receive are from UPS and I never have any problems with them.

If you want your packages dumped on the side of the road instead of at your house so that people can steal them then FedEx is the right choice for you. Not just once or twice but 3 times in a row. Calling them is a waste of time as they will claim no knowledge of anything. I now ask every merchant what shipper they use and if it is FedEx and they for any reason cannot use another company I will cancel the order and find another merchant that can use UPS or USPS. (How sad is it that the USPS outperforms your company?)
The ones that have had to replace the stolen goods have told me that this is becoming more and more common with FedEx. Take my advice and demand another shipper or not as you please, some people enjoy substandard performance I have no time for it. Even the replacement orders were done the same way which shows it has become standard practice and FedEx does not care to act differently. They cannot deny the photos.

This concern was finally escalated to a higher level and from there, my concern was taken seriously. They did eventually track down my package and was able to retrieve it and get it delivered.

We placed an order for two bathroom sink faucets from Lowe's. We followed the tracking on it closely since we arranged for a plumber to do the install for them. When it said that it was out for delivery, I listened all morning and afternoon, but the doorbell never rang. Imagine our surprise to see that according to the tracking, it had been DELIVERED, yet there was no package anywhere! In calling FedEx, I was shocked to find out that they were unwilling to contact the driver to find out where he actually took our package and go back and get it.
I have filed an investigation with FedEx, but it will be another few days for the results. If they had acted on this when I called (which was still during business hours), they could have contacted the driver immediately and had him locate where he took the package, since he could easily tell where he went before and after he said he was here-- the time was noted in the tracking. I would highly recommend not ever using FedEx, but instead use UPS or USPS. There is far more accountability with your packages at those two other places.

I placed an order. The FedEx site said it was delivered. Perhaps, but not to me. Somehow, their system shows my old address that was changed by the post office. It's still where I live but no package. After calling them, they would not tell me where it was delivered but after repeated calls, I was able to figure out that they were using my old address even though the shipper had my current address. Chewy, the shipper sent another order to be delivered. Meanwhile, I changed the FedEx address to current one. They still could not find it and apparently they don't know about the invention of cell phones. It is supposed to be delivered tomorrow but what if they can't find it again? People apologized all over the place but NOTHING was done to make amends or offer anything for my inconvenience. I'll choose USPS and UPS from now on. FEDEX is lousy.
