    Dogs were barking when the FedEx truck left. I did not immediately go outside to bring the package inside. When I did, I noticed two boxes marked Fragile. The one box (lamp lens) looked pristine. The other (the base) was standing on an angle because the bottom of the package was severely damaged. I took pictures and immediately called FedEx. This was the end of March 2013. Numerous calls promised me that I would be reimbursed. Finally, a Claims rep said that business policy was to send a check to the company in New York who in return would send it to us. It is now the middle of May and nothing. I will spend the rest of my life urging anyone who will listen to never deal this company. What a world!

    I should have recorded this dude. As soon as I heard the truck outside my window, I looked out and saw the driver scanned the package, went back to his truck and drove off! Then I checked the tracking online and it said it was left at front door! ** and guess what, I called customer service and they don't give a **. "Well, if that's what it says, then look outside your door." This is in Queens, NY. These Hispanic drivers in mid '20s are the worst. Every once in a while, they steal! Do not ship with FedEx or receive package from FedEx!

    I ordered a motor bracket and it was shipped out via FedEx. Their system says it was delivered to my home on 5/16/13 at 9am, but I did not receive it. I am retired and home all the time. I contacted them and they say it was delivered and would look into it. NO Response to date. What a rip-off.

    From experience of buying through the internet, I realized the importance of receiving what you spent money for. Recently, I ordered an item which delivered in three to five days from the time I ordered. My calculation placed the package at my house on Sat. May 11, 2013. I purposely waited all day at my house between the living room and the front deck, and at no time did a FedEx truck stopped at my house. The driver told the people in the office that they did deliver. But he didn't come to my home on that date nor at the time they stated it was delivered. Now, something seems very wrong here especially when my wife and grandchild were home as well! I think the package was delivered to the wrong address and it is not my fault that I don't have my package. And I paid the shipping too!

    So FedEx pulls in my driveway and instead of going to the front door, they wheel two big tabletops across my grass to another driveway and straight on in to my garage squeezing next to my wife's BMW to leave everything against the wall. If my front door was open, maybe they would have come straight in and leaned all that stuff against the wall in my foyer.

    Today at 3:05PM on Blackfield Road, one of your drivers ran a small Jack Russel over when he could have easily stopped. The dog was so slow crossing the road. Your driver slowed right down and then continued to run the dog over. He then got out of the van, walked back up the road where we stopped with our hazards on to make sure nothing else hits the little dog. He picked up the collar and just left the dog. A Sainsbury's worker and post lady tended the dog, and moved it from the road. I'm 39 weeks pregnant with my 7-year-old twin boys in the car who were really upset, so I then left.

    My point is he clearly did not have to hit the dog. I'm sure the dog had no chance of survival. He had such a chance of stopping, but obviously his deliveries came first. From a very angry and upset witness.

    I paid an exorbitant amount of money to have something delivered by 10:30 am the next day (a friend, having left her cell phone with me while on vacation, needed it delivered to her asap). I clearly printed the complete address on the shipping label and instructed my friend to wait for the delivery by 10:30 am. She was waiting and watching for the delivery truck, which she never saw, only to find that the status online had been updated to state "Delivery Exception: Customer Not Available" shortly after 10 am. This is completely false, as no truck even went down her street, let alone to her home, or her door.

    Furthermore, there was no door tag left indicating that the delivery was attempted (which further demonstrates that FedEx was never physically there). I contacted Customer Service and was initially instructed that she could have it delivered by 3 pm or pick it up at a distant location. I had paid extra in order to ensure that the delivery would arrive in time to accommodate her work schedule, which would not allow her to wait until 3 pm. Furthermore, upon speaking to the customer service representative, I was informed that her apartment number was not included on the shipping label, and I would need to pay a $12-fee for an "address correction".

    I happen to have retained the Airbill that I personally filled out, where it clearly states her complete address, including her apartment number. After paying for a costly overnight early morning delivery, the package was not delivered, nor was an attempt made to deliver the package. The FedEx truck did not even travel down her street!

    I came home Friday to find a large box, 4 x 2 x 2, standing up on my porch. It had someone else's name and address on it and she's not in the phone book. So I called up FedEx right away and told them about it, gave my address, and asked them to pick it up. The box sat there all weekend. I came home today, Monday, and it is still there. I called up again and asked the person, Angelica, to please have it removed. By the way, I first called their distribution center in town but the number is disconnected! I had to be rerouted through one of their copy centers to get to the delivery people.

    We were getting off the turnpike and could not see that ahead, there was only one lane open for EZ Pass, so we had to cut over to go through the EZ Pass lane. A FedEx driver in a semi crawled right up against us two inches away from ripping our side view mirror off. There was no way he was going to let us go in front of him even though we did not intentionally cut in front of him! If we would not have stopped, he would have completely sideswiped us.

    I sold a large item on eBay to a customer that wanted it truck freighted to them. I told the buyer that as the listing stated, it was for pick up only but that if he wanted to call his local freight company and arrange the shipping himself, I would gladly palletize the item and have it ready for pick up by his freight company. He called FedEx freight. FedEx called me for directions and picked up the item. Soon, FedEx was sending me a bill for over $500! I own a company that regularly ships item by truck and this would have been less than $100 by our carrier.

    I called FedEx and explained that I had no account with them and nothing to do with the freight order and they informed me that since the company that ordered the freight did not pay for the freight, I was now responsible for it. I refused to pay so they turned it over to a collections company. Now, I just found out that this has been reported on my personal credit, so now my perfect credit has been damaged severely. This has not been resolved yet and I'm thinking about notifying our State Attorney General's Office about it. What a hassle. Lesson here is if you or your customers use FedEx, beware. You might be paying for things you didn't authorize!

I declined and was offered "pick-up" at 1383 Main St, Springfield MA, store hours from 7:30 onwards (with control #). I was at the store at 9:00; there was no package. The clerk's explanation was that since delivery attempt was made "just" a day before, the "in-store" pickup cannot be made until later this day or tomorrow. Why are drivers not compelled to drop off "undeliverables" (especially when customer/recipient indicated pick-up will take place) at end of the shift day to above mentioned store, so that customer can pick up their parcels at the opening hour?

    I ordered a delicate and expensive camera lens from a store about 45 miles away. It was to be delivered by FedEx 2nd day. FedEx failed to pickup the first day, but did pickup late the 2nd day. In less than an hour, the package showed up at our local FedEx Terminal. I tried to pick it up but they would not release it, so it sat there over the weekend. Monday morning, the status showed out for delivery and on the truck for delivery. It also noted that I had to be home to sign for it. This was a day early but I needed it so I stayed home all day.

    No one showed up. Finally at about 4 pm, I checked the tracking number again and it showed that the package had been returned to the terminal after bouncing around in the truck all day, and me sitting at home wondering when they would arrive. Now, I'm stuck at home tomorrow again all day waiting to see if it arrives, and if it's damaged from bouncing around on our bad roads for two days. Apparently, someone made a mistake but they really have an angry customer for not following through or at least calling me to let me know. I usually have good luck with FedEx, but this may just be the beginning of a horror story if the lens turns out to be damaged. I did complain but got a nonsense canned reply! From the tracking page, the bottom is the beginning, it shows on the truck and out for delivery.

    I often need to purchase overnight delivery for business purposes. I obviously purchase the overnight delivery as I need it the next day (duh!). I have never had an overnight delivery come late if sent by UPS or USPS, but every time I have ever ordered overnight delivery, and FedEx was the chosen carrier, it shows up late. I am a photographer, and I am booked steady. My 2-year old dropped my camera down the stairs, and it broke. I ordered a new camera immediately on Amazon and ordered next day delivery (should have been delivered today) as I am supposed to be leaving to shoot at 7am tomorrow morning. All looked well as I tracked the shipment.

    By 8am this morning, the package was 25 miles from my home. By 5pm, I still have no package. I called to see if it will be here, or if I can come pick it up. They say it's on a truck for delivery and will be here by 8pm. When 8:30pm rolled around and I still had no package, I called them again. They said it can't be delivered due to adverse weather conditions. What the **? It's perfectly clear outside. I am so disgusted. I will never order anything that is to be shipped by FedEx again. I sincerely hope the people that choose to ship FedEx find this site and choose to stick to a better shipping company.

    I am writing a complaint about a specific FedEx Ground driver who delivers to Hyde Park in Chicago, IL. Our normal FedEx delivery driver is great and I would give her five stars. Unfortunately, the incident today has soured me towards FedEx for good. I work at a large apartment building where we receive packages for residents in a small package room. Today, the driver brought a package much too large to fit into our package room. I informed the driver that he would have to bring it upstairs to the customer's door. (I should mention that this has never been a problem before. There were two people together and we have an elevator.) This driver it turned out had no idea what apartment the package was for or for that matter who it was for.

    From here, everything went downhill. While he was in the process of looking for a label so he could figure out where he was delivering to, he flipped the very large and heavy box into a light fixture breaking it. Meanwhile, I went to go retrieve the keys for the apartment so that we could leave it for the resident. As I returned, I overheard the driver tell his assistant that he was calling the office to blacklist this address. I immediately asked for his name and told him that I would be reporting him to customer service.

    At that point, he informed that he was a private contractor, owned his own truck and there was nothing I could do and finally refused to leave our residents delivery returning it to his truck. I did talk to a couple of helpful customer service agents and a less helpful manager of this yahoo (who eventually got the package re-delivered and we are supposed to be hearing from a claims adjuster for our light). Because of this, I bumped FedEx up a star. Now, we have a very expensive broken light fixture in our lobby and I have to suspect that FedEx secretly blacklists locations they don't feel like delivering to. Not good.

    I volunteer for a large animal rescue in a very rural area. Since I am using donated resources, I use Walmart.com's free ship to home service for our supplies because I get such a better value. Our driver apparently thinks our deliveries are beneath him. Bags of food have seams opened so that when we pick them up, the contents spill. Boxes are left with bottoms untaped so the same happens. FedEx accepts my complaints but tells me Phill is one of or best. Well, their best in UPS is unthinkable. We've had damages in the past with them but nothing like this!

    At approx. 1:45 pm on 3-19-13, a FedEx driver ignoring speed limitations barreled through my subdivision at extremely excessive speeds for a residential area. It happens to also be spring break and therefore children are at play. My child and two others had just crossed the street moments prior to this careless driver’s inconsiderate and irresponsible actions. I was standing in my garage, and in the few short minutes it took me to run just inside the door, grabbed my keys, jumped in the car to try to find him for a tag #, and he was gone. Apparently, he found his destination, made his delivery, and left the subdivision I'm sure at the same high rate of speed that he entered.

    I shipped a package for $89.60 on 03/14 and charge it to my ATM as a credit. I noticed on 03/15 that the amount was debited twice from my card, once on 3/14 and another on 03/15. I called Fedex customer service on 03/15 and was told by the representative that this was normal and the double charge would stay on my card until the package was shipped. I asked to speak to a manager and was told that it was a billing problem that was recognized by Fedex Ground because of a shorter tracking number and said one of the charges will be credited to my card by midnight on 03/15. On 03/16, I noticed that nothing was done; the double charges for $89.60 were still debited from my card.

    I called again and was told by a front line representative that this was normal billing and the other charge would fall off by 1 - 10 business days. I again asked to speak to a manager who repeated the billing problem and took some information and said it would be taken care of by Monday (03/18). I asked why Fedex Ground had not made the customer service representatives aware of the internal Fedex Ground billing problem; she said it was on the internet. I suggested an inner office memo or phone notification to avoid front line customer representatives from giving out erroneous information - a definite risk management problem that is not being handled well.

    I have a shipment from USA to Indonesia via FedEx. Due to customs check, my cargo was cleared in early February. The problem is miscalculation of import duties & freight.

    FedEx staff tried to reason with the following excuses. Import duties were implemented from Singapore at SGD 25.6 / USA 11.0 USD / INDONESIA 4.6 USD / kg but somehow they could use the figure from Singapore and USA while the actual shipment was from USA to Indonesia. Since the breakdown was sent from FedEx to my staff email, I have proof that the calculation is based on their system. They are unable to prove the import duties payable to the Indonesian Customs. I don't know the reason of it but it happens. Their manager called me and made some absurd explanation like the Indonesian Customs doesn't care about the mistake and passed it on to the FedEx customer.

    I would like to lodge a complaint regarding the FedEx Indonesia, which had slapped USD55 handling surcharge over the hold-up caused by the Indonesian Customs over my package, Awb no. **. My package already arrived from China on 26th January 2013, and it was not my fault to have the package held up by Customs because I have been asking the local FedEx office to clear the package almost everyday. I don't mind paying my the custom duties imposed by the local customs, but I do mind paying additional USD55 or in Rp539.280 over what should be the responsibility of the FedEx alone! In my opinion, FedEx Indonesia had purposely delayed my package so that they can extort additional charges from the recipient.

    If my goods cost CIF USD50, then Customs added additional USD36.80 freight cost from their imagination and then FedEx Indonesia further added salt to the injury by slapping USD55 for handling charges, isn't FedEx any different from a syndicate? This package is for personal use, not for any company activity or organization. So if FedEx thinks they can skim more money using justification from the local NGOs such as Askrindo, then I am not apologetic anymore to say FedEx Indonesia is a syndicate and first class extortionist. I am hoping that many people will realize how predatory FedEx can be in Indonesia. Perhaps FedEx knowingly had involved itself in foreign corrupt practice act.

They were surprised to know that a delivery had been attempted and they hadn't moved from the living room in an hour.

    Furthermore, we have a large dog who was inside the house and who would have barked at the sound of the doorbell or a knock. I immediately called FedEx and requested a reattempt. The dispatcher returned my call to inform me that the courier would not return to deliver that day. As a result, I had to drive an hour round trip in the evening to collect the package, which was both an additional expense and an inconvenience to me. Earlier this week, the courier delivered another package while my wife and children were home. He simply left it on the front step without ringing the door bell. My wife discovered it only when she went outside to walk the dog.

    The last straw was today. We arrived home this evening to find a package sitting in our driveway - exposed to the elements and not inside the breezeway where the courier normally leaves things. This level of service is simply not acceptable and certainly not to the standard FedEx claims. I have submitted this complaint to FedEx, urging them to intervene with the courier in question and ensure that his service to their customers meets our expectations and theirs. I also asked to be contacted by a customer representative and informed about what actions have been taken on my complaint.

    I ordered online both a Cat Window Perch and an electric water fountain, and the orders were shipped FedEx in two separate packages at the same time. Tracking showed that the driver posted "delivery at doorstep" but no packages were received. From that point forward, they had no legitimate concern for, or follow up involvement with, my complaint. They had phone and email but made no attempt to either find out what happened or reship replacement products. I even contacted FedEx directly and had complaint numbers attached to both shipments. But when I called back, FedEx refused to give me any info, instead saying I had to deal with Petco. And Petco of course said FedEx tracking showed the packages had been delivered.

    So I was faced with consumer litigation, or a credit card company reversal of charges (which is difficult and time consuming). This was a $75 order and they literally disengaged. Two weeks later, FedEx delivered the original packages, and it was evident that the original labeling had been incorrect with numbers transposed. The driver irresponsibly, simply dropped the packages at a random address on the wrong street, since the transcribed address from Petland did not exist. Luckily, the people called and had FedEx pick up the misplaced delivery. And because of my complaint reference, they were correctly delivered with no notification from either FedEx or Petland. I will never use FedEx and will never use a supplier who uses FedEx. Amazon raises head and shoulders over all other vendors, and they use UPS.

    I shipped a large box of Christmas presents for a family of three to the Christian Appalachian Project. I have been sending similar boxes for 12 years via UPS with never a problem. But this year, I decided to ship through my company to get the corporate discount (we are a large mail order firm). Big mistake. FedEx claims it was delivered the day after Thanksgiving and that they left it on the porch. The project volunteers contacted me two weeks later as they had not received my package yet. They said they have repeatedly asked FedEx not to drop boxes on the porch. FedEx told me to file a claim and then denied it, because they said they had delivered it. They had? No one saw it. Where is it? I'm out $435 with no recourse. That's a lot of money for a senior citizen trying to do something nice at Christmas for the needy.

    I could never recommend this company for anything. I wouldn't use them to deliver a newspaper. How callous. My little family had no Christmas gifts and I am sick about it. They take your package, charge you for it, never deliver it, and deny your claim. I can't tell you how disgusted I am. They should be ashamed. All the money they spend advertising. How about backing up your claims? I'd say if you absolutely positively need it there overnight (or eventually), use UPS because FedEx does not deliver and I am spreading the word on Facebook, e-mail, at work, at church, wherever I can! This company is bad news.

    It's interesting to find the site. The very same thing happened to me. I ordered an item to be delivered. Tracking stated the address was incorrect, but it wasn't. The address was correct. The recipient saw the truck pass their home. I asked, "Please leave the package at the pick up location," but it was put on the truck for delivery on Christmas Eve which made it unavailable for pick up by the recipient. At approx. 8 pm Christmas Eve, the tracking info stated "Exception Occurred" after the recipient spent Christmas Eve anticipating the package.

    I called the toll free number and was told the volume of delivery was too heavy. It could not be delivered; it would be delivered on Wednesday after Christmas. I screamed at the person and asked for a Supervisor. I waited 15 minutes, but I got the same answers. I filed a complaint. I firmly expressed my discontent and explained were it not a gift, I would have them send it back to the vendor. I want nothing to do with FedEx. I asked the agent "If he hasn't gotten there in two delivery attempts and you haven't followed any other instruction that I have offered, what will happen with the package?" He stated, "We will deliver it on Wednesday."

    I hung up the phone. At this point, it felt like I was going in circles. I believe they are incompetent and the language barrier does not help when attempting to explain an issue. I will not use FedEx again and will share my displeasure with anyone who will listen.

Well, it made it all the way to Jonesboro, Arkansas and because FedEx decided that I only had a PO Box number for delivery, there was no way they were delivering it to me (they had my number to call). They sent it back to Texas to Microsoft and I called Microsoft and they found it again and sent it back to us again using FedEx. Well, it was been another month and still no Xbox.

    I called FedEx several times and they said they don't have it and they don't have the shipping number in their system. After screaming at the FedEx person and threatening to sue, they simply said, "It is not our problem." I will never use FedEx ever!

    My sister had ordered an Apple product to be delivered to my house for her son’s birthday. They had told her that it will be delivered on Monday, Dec. 24. So we went out of town and came back that Friday, 21, and they left me a note that they came to my house at 12:30 pm. That was the first lie. We left my house at 12:40pm. They wrote on the door tag 12:30pm on Friday. So I called them so I can pick up the package at their office but the customer service told me that they were already en route to delivery. I could leave the door tag sign with instructions to where to leave the package and I did that. Usually, the mailman and other companies have left me packages at my porch with no problem.

    So I left my house for an hour. My sister had called to tell me that the website says that it was delivered to my side porch door, but that was not the instructions I gave them to leave me the package. I specifically told them to open my side door porch and leave the package inside my porch. So I rushed to my house and there was no package, and the door tag was still there by my door with the signature, which they were supposed to take to add to their paperwork. I called customer service that put me on hold for almost 30 minutes. When I spoke to them, they told me that it will take 24 hours to do an investigation.

    I called the next day and they told me that the local office is closed and they need to contact the driver. But reading this website, it looks like they will only listen to the driver and I will have a lost package, worth more than 200. I will have to wait until December 24 to get an answer from them, as they admitted that the driver was supposed to take the signed door tag but it was left at my house. So to me, this was the driver’s fault. It’s completely an irresponsible error to not follow the instructions by the customer and the company.

On the 21st, it was clear, 50 degrees and all schools were in session with children riding on the bus.

No explanation except something about air travel or something but the package was sitting at the Hickman Mills, MO site.

    First, it was on the truck and now it isn't? Now, they said we can go pick it up ourselves or they will try to deliver it on Monday (Christmas Eve). Well, it is a Christmas gift and I paid for 2-day express. They are a joke and have no accountability! They don't give any refund or "Hey, I'm sorry.

    After the events that occurred in Newtown, CT, Governor Mally declared that all church bells would ring at 9:30AM on Friday, 12/21/12, to show remembrance and respect. At 9:29, the FedEx driver on Norwich Ave in Colchester, CT pulled up with his radio blaring; door open; leaving his engine running as he ran inside to deliver an envelope. He needed to get through a group of people who were waiting outside to hear the bells and show respect, and obviously had no clue on what was going on.

    On his way out, with no "excuse me" or "thank you for holding the door," he pushed through the group and sped off - taking the next two corners on two wheels. Shame on you FedEx and shame on you driver for making the roads unsafer and ruining the effort of a group of people to reflect on the loss of 20 small children and our educators.

    It is very unfortunate that Angry is the lowest rating I can give to FedEx. I came home today to find a note from FedEx stuck to my Christmas Wreath on the front door. The note stated that since I was not home, they were unable to deliver a package and I needed to phone them to reschedule. There was no information about the package - who exactly it was to, who it was from, etc. The driver did not fill in any of the details of the form except half a tracking number which appeared to be the first 3 digits. I was so annoyed that they left this note stuck to my wreath where anyone and everyone could see that I was not home instead of just sticking the note in my letterbox. I phoned FedEx as soon as I got into the house. The first person I spoke with was extremely rude. He had quite possibly the worst telephone manners I've ever heard. He answered the phone with "What's your tracking number?" I tried to explain that the note had been left on my front door, in the rain, and I only had a partial tracking number, but all he would say is "That's not the full number."

    After going through this routine of me explaining that the driver did not write the full number and him responding "That's not the full number" for about 10 minutes, he finally asked for my name and address. Apparently, he found the package in his system and said simply "So what do you want me to do with it?" I asked what their delivery times were and he responded again in his blunt way "9-5 Mon-Fri". I said that I worked during those days/hours and would it be possible instead for me to pick up the package from their depot, where was the depot, and what hours are they open for pick-ups. He responded bluntly "In London" but refused to be more specific than that, and then he said "It'll be delivered Sat" and then he hung up!

    I phoned back immediately to speak to someone who could actually tell me where the package was and when it could be picked up and again my call was answered by another very rude man who answered the phone "What's your tracking number?" I again had to explain that the slip was left on the door in the rain and the driver did not fill in all the details and what little he did fill in was now soaking wet and illegible. And the guy responds "What's your tracking number?" So I gave him the three numbers I had on the form and again we went through the routine "That's not a full tracking number." I replied, "Yes, I know it's not a full tracking number. This is what I'm trying to explain to you. This is what I tried to explain to the other guy. Your delivery person didn't fill out the form. This is all the information I have. Maybe you can look up the package through my name and address like the last guy did? I just want to know when and where I can pick up the package." The man responds, "Well, if you've already spoken to someone else here, why are you wasting my time?" and then he hung up!

    The third time I called back, I was quite annoyed. The minute the person answered the call, I said, "I want to speak to a manger." The person responds, "I don't have a manger." I respond, "I'm sure you do. Everyone has a manager." He says, "Well, I don't. Or maybe I am the manager." I am very annoyed by this third rude, sarcastic person, and I'm starting to realize at this point that I will never receive this package or figure out who it is from or what it is, etc. So I said, "Look, I want to file a complaint. If you don't put me through to a manager, I will just send a letter through the post. Either way this is getting reported." He said, "Good luck with that," and hangs up!

    In my opinion, this is completely unacceptable. It's as though FedEx is hiring 15-year old boys from India to play jokes on the phone via the company's customer service department. This company is an insult to the words Customer Service. Although I know it will do no good for me to complain, as the company clearly doesn't care to lose customers, I have still written my letter of complaint and I will not be holding my breath for a response. However, I would never ever use FedEx for any shipping needs in future and I've also composed an email sent to all of my family and friends to relay this experience to them and pleading with them to never send me anything again via FedEx. I've had one person respond so far to say they have recently sent me something. And when they gave me the company name of who they ordered the item through, I rang that company, told them of my experience, and asked them to trace the item to see if that is the missing package.

    I am more hopeful of a response from them and perhaps FedEx will be more accommodating to the company who is paying to use their service versus me the innocent by-stander. Again, I am not going to hold my breath. But at least this company now knows that their packages are not being delivered and their customers are being treated very poorly by FedEx. If this company loses customers from it, then maybe they will stop using FedEx. Bottom line: avoid FedEx, pay more money and use a better, more reliable, and more customer friendly company! I am expecting nothing from FedEx, but hopefully the company where the item was ordered will do the right thing and reimburse for the item and stop using FedEx!

    Later, the driver came to my house and spoke to my minor child to tell her he left the package on the step but there were gardeners next door. He implied that they may have stolen the package but admitted he left it unsecured and unreceived. Neither Want Uniforms nor FedEx accepted responsibility, and I was forced to order the same uniform and pay twice.

I called FedEx the same day of the non-delivery and asked for a refund. They said I had to call back as it wasn't in the computer.

In call #5, I asked where my refund is and the FedEx rep answered, "What refund?" This rep took all the info again and said it would take 4-6 weeks to show up on my credit card. In call #6, I asked where my refund is again. The FedEx rep said, "It's the credit card's fault."

    I finally received the $45.46 refund on my credit card. In call #7, I asked where my $20.77 refund was. The FedEx rep replied, "They can't refund the credit card for $20.77 as it was not charged on a credit card." I can't fully verbalize / write what happened next. I made two more phone calls, the last one just now. I just got off the phone with the FedEx customer advocate (really?) in Bristol. He said he would do me a favor and process the $20.77 refund.

FYI, I wondered what was going to happen to the envelope at my brother's house. FedEx said, "Customer said to return the envelope" and that's why my husband and I had to pay for return.

    My package was estimated to be delivered on November 17th by FedEx home delivery. I was home all day. It was a Saturday. I called the 1800 number some time around 2PM. I don't usually receive by FedEx but when they do come, it is usually early in the morning. So at that point, I had been up since 8AM waiting for the delivery. The representative verified that it was out for delivery and the driver had until 8PM to arrive. I let time pass. Around ten past six in the evening, I received an email telling me that my package was delivered at 6:06PM but with a delivery exception. It was delivered to my neighbor's address.

    Now this is odd because I know no one knocked on my door and I had no notification on my door or in my mailbox. Not to mention, I live in an apartment building. My front door literally is inches away from my neighbor's. I would have heard someone knocking on their door. As a matter of fact, I sometimes think it's my door that is being knocked on. No one delivered anything to my floor at that time. To top everything off, the driver, or deliverer, or helper or whoever wants to take the blame, let someone sign for the package with the signature - GJFK. Are you kidding me? That isn't even a last name! What happened to delivering a package to the individual it is supposed to go to?

    I immediately called back the 800 number. She tried to connect me to the local office and to my surprise (not really), the local office was closed, even though I was told earlier that drivers work until 8PM. She then alerted me to the fact that since it was a weekend and Home Delivery isn't open on a Monday, I won't be able to learn any information on my package until Tuesday. This supervisor assured me she would personally handle my case and call me back Tuesday morning with all updated information. She also put two claim tickets to the local FedEx store and told me they would get back to me when possible.

    Monday Morning I received a call from the 800 number, another individual wondering if there was a notice left on my door or that of my neighbor's, and if I checked with my neighbor. Tuesday morning he called back again with the same exact questions. I then found the local office number on my own merit, spoke with the manager and he assured me he would send the driver over to me that same day. He told me the driver knows exactly who he brought it to and would come, retrieve it and redeliver it to me. The driver never showed but about 8:15PM, the manager himself came to knock on my neighbor's door and asked if they had the package. Now this is just ridiculous. When we asked why the driver didn't come to validate what exact location he left it, he had no answer for us. All he said is, "You will get your package tomorrow."

    It is now 6PM Thanksgiving eve and I have yet to receive a notice, phone call or acknowledgment. Another day I have taken off of work to deal with this. My main concern is the fact that my package is stated as delivered and no one can tell me any more information. I spent a good amount of money on my items and am very disappointed not to have them yet, even more so that my package is in limbo. The items consisted of precious stones and machinery. I am an artisan jeweler. Hundreds of dollars (and the almost $50 to ship it!) lost with no trace but a GJFK. Very sad. Employees are obviously not doing their job and there is no consequence. It's a shame that I can't even depend on a delivery service to get items that I ordered from another state in our country.

We were traveling approx. 58 -64 mph and he continued doing this for at least 20 miles with vehicles backed up in both lanes. At mile marker 79 between 1:15 & 1:30 pm Tues. Nov. 16, I called 911 and reported the situation. There were no vehicles in front of the semis. This was an intentional act.

    For the second time in a row, I have waited at home for a delivery from FedEx. I checked online and they stated an exception because I was not home and a door tag number. When I checked this, it was past the time they stated they came and there is no door tag outside. I understand the delivery drivers may be in a hurry to deliver packages but that should not compensate for the quality of their work. Why would they not have at least given a door tag number if they did not want to knock on the door, but state online that they did give a door tag number? That is blatant lying at its best. It's the second time this has happened.

The second reorder, which has now cost me a total of $57.00, did come to my address. I had tracked the first order by the shipping number and it showed delivered, but I did not get it.

    Just like all the others that have had horrific experiences with FedEx, my story is the same. According to tracking, FedEx delivered my very expensive merchandise to the wrong address. The address they claimed they delivered the package to does not even exist. I had the city officials confirm this information. I have called FedEx everyday for 30 business days straight. I barely got the same person twice even though I had names and extensions. They denied my claim because the driver "claimed" he delivered the item to the address listed on the package. I could not stress enough to them that the address he claims to have delivered it to is wrong and does not even exist!

    I got as high as a senior claims representative, who basically told me that they were not going to do anything about it because, again, the driver delivered the package regardless if the address exists or not. **? Are you serious? How can they get away with that? All it is is a license for the drivers to steal and totally get away with it. That is exactly what is happening and no one is ever or will ever be held accountable. The only alternative is to sue, but the way this company gives people the runaround, I could only see legal fees adding up well beyond the amount I paid for my missing package. Especially considering the amount of hours I personally spent on the phone with these very irresponsible, unprofessional people. There should be something we, as customers, could rally together and do about this. FedEx robs people blind and totally gets away with it. Not acceptable!

A week later, I called, "Where is the money?" They said I have to contact the shipping agent in New Jersey; he will refund the amount since I paid directly to him in cash. I contacted the agent and he refused. He confirmed that the policy he applied was no refund. I called FedEx after nearly one hour on the phone from one to another. I explained that FedEx policy should apply, not the agent.

    Finally, one nice lady understood and she told me, "We will make the refund to you directly to your home." I waited for another week, again another 30 minutes on the phone and again, another nice lady told me "I left a note to refund you the shipment charges." Another week and I called, I asked where was the refund. Nothing was received. Here we go again to square one. The refund has to be collected from the same shipper, which he refuses. Nearly one hour on the phone from supervisor to manager, finally the only word they said was sorry. I explained to the manager that "You have a record for each conversation; listen to that conversation made." She refused. The only word she said was "Sorry, we apologize."

You are lucky if you get a package on time 50% of the time. I know multiple online vendors who have stopped using FedEx as a shipper and rightly so. You are providing a huge opening for the USPS to bump up their courier services and fill the hole you are so stupidly opening for them. The reliability of the USPS is now far better than that of FedEx now which is really shameful for a company that cornered the market. You won't corner it for long at this rate. You need to clean up your act.

    All these excuses of bad weather (when none exists), plane problems, misrouting, missorting, etc. are just not cutting it. I don't see the USPS making all these excuses. Why? Because their reliability has become far better than yours is now. Get your act together. I avoid using FedEx whenever possible now and am asking all online vendors I deal with to provide other options for shipping. Yes, mistakes happen but this has truly gotten to the point of ridiculous.

    My family got me to order two generators for them from Harbor Freight and they were both supposed to be delivered on August 20, 2012 to my home. My husband and I were on vacation so my mother-in-law was going to get the packages as we live in her backyard and this is where the UPS driver leaves packages. The FedEx driver did not check that he had the right address and he left the packages at my husband’s uncle who lives next door to us. This was at ten minutes after ten AM. I called my mother-in-law at 1pm and she said that FedEx had been to his house that morning. These are people who have been doing drive offs with gas at gas stations.

    I immediately called FedEx at the 1-800-gofedex and told the lady on the phone that if they did not go back and get the generators, then they would disappear. She did not do anything. I called back later that night and was told that someone would contact me about the problem. At 7:10am, they did call and the driver was sent back to where he left the packages and they denied getting them. Now because FedEx has said they left them on my porch, they will not replace the generators. Friday, I called FedEx and told them that a neighbor had said that the son tried to sell him the generators for $400.00 for both and that the sheriff said that they needed to file a complaint and they said they could not do this and that they could leave our packages anywhere they wanted to if we were not home.

    I have documented everything including the fact that we had to cut our vacation short to try to deal with this. I have argued with both FedEx and Harbor Freight over this situation so much that I have lost my voice. I don't have the $630.00 that these generators cost to give back to my family because the FedEx driver and the people who work for FedEx dropped the ball so to speak and not I am the one that has to deal with this.

    I would never recommend that if you pay upfront then don't let FedEx deliver it as you will be the one left holding the bag when they make a mistake. I called about this again Friday and was told that someone would contact me within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. But as of today, Sunday, I have not heard from anyone.

    FedEx sucks. I thought they were a better ground shipping company than UPS, not. Four boxes packed extremely well from my manufacturing plant (double boxed) and FedEx actually destroyed all the outer master cartons. And when I say destroyed, they actually ripped the cartons and taped them back together, really? One master carton was completely missing part of one side and they taped it to the inner boxes, so thank God the plant double boxed. Because it looks like the cartons were thrown from here to China - a lot of the inner boxes corners were crushed and destroyed some of the merchandise inside them. I filed a claim and FedEx denied them. Do they ever settle claims? Looking at all these complaints probably not, mine is small potatoes compared to others. What is their problem? They need to take a flying flipping whatever off a cliff and then we all can be done with them.

FedEx confirmed in three separate telephone conversations this arrangement and that no import charges would apply given the nature of the shipment.

    On shipping, the courier who picked up insisted we tick a number of boxes without giving us a chance to read the very small print around them and told us that they were of no consequence. This is the first shipment we made with FedEx. We then phone every day asking about the progress and when the shipment was delayed at customs, we repeatedly phoned FedEx in both the UK and Thailand asking if any extra charges were being incurred and told them we did not accept any and would not accept any. They confirmed that if any extra charges were to be incurred, we would be informed and asked for authorization before billing us.

    We have now been told by FedEx today in the UK that a 1000% import duty has been negotiated and applied to our account and that as we were tricked into ticking a small box making us responsible for import duties, we must pay whatever the local person negotiated even if it is ridiculous.

I contacted FedEx and I told them that there was a mistake because the package was not delivered to my front door and I explained that FedEx mistakenly delivered another package of mine to the wrong address this same year. The FedEx CSR checked that Walmart put the correct address on the label and said the next step would be to contact the driver and inquire what address the package was actually delivered to. She gave me a case #**.

    This morning I found a FedEx Delivery Notice on my door with a handwritten note from the driver stating "Confirmed delivery on 7-14-12. Box was left at the front door by rose bushes". What this driver was unaware of was that my neighbor two doors down and across the street found my package he left at her door and brought it to me the night before. FedEx should have procedures in place that drivers log each delivery (with address) when it is completed. If so, this driver did not follow procedure because if he had, he would have known where he delivered my package to. But that is not the big issue here. The big issue here is integrity. His lack of integrity would have either cost me or Walmart unfairly.

    I do a lot of online shopping and I need to be able to count on my carrier so I called FedEx again and I asked to speak to the driver's supervisor. Evidently, middle management at FedEx does not find value in a customer service phone call because they did not return my call. As for me, all I can say is the web is a big place with a lot of opportunity to avoid future purchases when I am aware FedEx is the carrier. I have filed this complaint and I will most likely tell my friends and family and then forget about it.

There was a long construction delay because of bridge construction at the Highway 161 interchange, with four lanes reduced to one, then a forced exit of the freeway. After about 45 minutes of sitting in traffic, we finally approached the last lane reduction. We were driving a Chrysler PT Cruiser, and were just to the left of a FedEx freight tractor truck pulling two trailers. The DOT number on the tractor is **.

    Our car was slightly ahead of the truck, and his tractor and trailers extended 80 feet behind us. As we attempted to merge, the driver revved his engine and tried to accelerate, running us into the traffic cones. I was able to pull away from him, but was not able to completely clear his cab before traffic again stopped. When the vehicle ahead of me began moving, the truck again revved his engine, and tried to swing around our car, again forcing us into the traffic cones. I was able to again barely clear his bumper, which caused panic in my wife as she was convinced he was planning to crush her side of the car. When we finally got clear, we drove through the detour then re-entered I30. The FedEx driver again rapidly accelerated, flashing his lights, honking his horn, and shaking his fist at us as he sped past.

    The number on the second trailer was **. We let him clear us, then followed at a safe distance while calling your 1-800 number. We spent almost half an hour being shuttled around while your employees repeatedly "accidentally" recorded the identification numbers wrong, and repeated back sequences of events that had no connection with those we had reported. We finally reached a young woman who resorted to talking softer and softer until her voice was inaudible. My wife repeated several times that she could not hear her, and left both our cell numbers requesting a return call. An hour later that call has not been received.

    I am convinced that a company that allows the type of individual who was driving this truck to have control of 100' and 80,000 pounds of motive force on the public highways is sponsoring violence against the American driving public.

It was a great start. We had to open an account because they could not accept credit cards. The office in Kandahar could not give me a quote because they did not know my discount code. Then, we got the invoice of $1618.08 plus a fuel charge of $273-26. Well, let's see. FedEx has a LOGCAP agreement and should be receiving fuel free for their planes. Why do we have to send boxes via Dubai? It should be easy enough to send direct from Kandahar to Kabul and why do we charge this amount? It's a complete rip off. A quote prior to handing over the parcels should be automatic.

    Fuel surcharges will be the subject of a separate complaint to the Inspector General under the LOGCAP agreement This was a try out for materials that have to come from the USA, Dubai and India to Afghanistan, but we have reduced the list of delivery companies by 1. FedEx won't even get an inquiry. Perhaps with all the complaints, they will go bankrupt soon, but with the overcharging, that is unlikely.

    Your company compared to UPS sucks as far as tracking. It’s like talking to “This is Peggy”. Your truck normally stops by in the morning, so I switched to FedEx due to this. I am a small business and need my shipments ASAP. I’ve been trying to track my packages all day and all I got delivered by 8pm. I have had them take them on home with them and deliver the next day. I told your rep, I half understood, you don't have to worry about me anymore I’m going back to UPS. At least they can tell you a time it will be delivered. I don't like being delivered last because I live closest to your terminal.

    "Our driver says he can't find the address," they said. But FedEx has delivered overnight packages to this quite normal address many times in the past. "We attempted delivery, but nobody was home," they also said. Huh? There were no less than 10 people in the house at the supposed time of delivery. Lastly, they said, "We will have it to you by the end of the day." Nope. It's been 3 days now, and there's no package. Oh also, they said, "Our drivers don't have cell phones"?!

    I ordered my husband's Father's Day gift from Lowe's and paid extra for the 2-day shipping to ensure that I'll receive the gift well in advance of Father's Day. It was shipped on 6/12 and the last scan was on 6/13 at 5:25AM. As I was tracking the package, I noticed there wasn't any movement and I contacted FedEx the morning of 6/14. I was told it would be investigated and I would get a return call. I contacted FedEx again on 6/15 at 7AM since I hadn't heard from them and there still was no movement on the shipment. The agent contacted the location where it was last scanned while I was on hold and was told that they couldn't locate the package, but they would look in another location. He told me I should receive a call in approximately 2 hours.

    After 5 hours passed and nothing, I called FedEx once again. I was told that a case has been opened and it will be at least 48 hours before I'll be contacted. Since this is now Friday and Sunday is Father's Day. I said that was unacceptable since this was a gift that I paid extra to have expedited. The FedEx agent's suggestion to me was to purchase another Father's Day gift. This was a $200 DeWalt combo drill set that my children were very excited to be able to give to their dad and now I need to purchase another gift. Wow, horrible customer service! Obviously, someone who works at the location of the last scan felt they needed the item more than the person who actually paid for it!

    I will never use FedEx again. I understand things can happen in the delivery process, but the horrible lack of customer service on top of the lost package is completely unacceptable.

Long story short, I paid cash, but the plane broke down and she didn’t receive the envelope till late afternoon. They told me they would FedEx me my refund once the package was delivered. I called them Friday - this is the next day to confirm we had finally received the package. Today is Monday and I just got off the phone with FedEx. Now they told me it’ll be up to 4-6 weeks to get my refund back.

    It’s not the $35 that irks me, it’s the lack of customer service and also the lack of employees knowing there are company policies. When one employee tells me it’ll be 4-6 weeks to receive my money back and then another tells me a totally different story, that is what really chaps my **. Can someone please tell me how a company who delivers overnight can make you wait 4-6 weeks to get your money back? That’s totally bad customer service. They should have been able to refund me at the same place I paid to have it delivered from.

    I am reporting a very bad driving behavior situation that occurred on I-25 between the Wyoming border & Wellington, CO on 5-16-2102. I was driving in the right lane going south on I-25 after 8:30 p.m. Before the Buckeye exit (CR 82), a truck came up behind me, also in the right lane. Nothing was amiss about this. However, your driver pulled into the passing left lane & remained there for several miles (until just before the Wellington exit, CO Hwy 1). I had to move my side rear view mirror as far as it would go to keep the glare out of my eyes. I had my cruise control set at 70 mph. My husband & I decided your driver must be going his "top" speed (as some companies set their trucks) as the reason he did not continue to pass me. In the state of CO, it is the law to remain in the right lane except to pass.

    Eventually, another truck came up behind me. I do not know the company name of this truck & the position is only mentioned as your driver then sped up & began to "finish" passing me. Your driver (1st truck) got just far enough ahead of me in the left lane, passing. The back end of my car was approximately even or a bit ahead of the rear of your truck, your driver in the left lane & I in the right lane. Your driver wanted me out of the way, for sure, as he began to swish the trailer back & forth as if to push me off the Interstate.

    I was coming up on the Wellington exit which was my exit. I had to move to the right towards the shoulder, before beginning my exit, so your driver would not cause me to wreck. My husband had seen the truck was a FedEx truck with the number being #**. We were at the Wellington exit at 9:04 p.m. I doubt this is the first time your driver has performed these maneuvers as your driver certainly knew what to do to cause the trailer to sway back & forth. As I stated in the state of CO, it is posted along I-25 the left lane is for passing, otherwise, stay in the right lane. It was not my position to reduce speed so your driver could pull in front of me. If I had reduced speed when another truck was behind me that would have caused a real danger as well.

    It would be wise for you to check if this truck was also a FedEx truck. If this is your company's behavior on the road, it surely needs to be taken care of promptly. I know you want to learn about this type of situation. I hope to learn what you are doing to prevent this as well. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The first thing that angered me was that my package arrived at the local FedEx distributing facility on Monday, but it couldn't go out until Wednesday because it "wasn't the scheduled due date yet". I paid extra money to get it the day before I moved, they got it even earlier and have to wait?

    The next thing that bothered me considerably was: The day of delivery, I was home packing, going in and out of the house loading up my vehicle. Around 3pm, I got a little frustrated that the package hasn't arrived yet, concerned that there had been some delay. I went online to check out the tracking and it said my package was delivered to my residence and signed for! I contacted the seller and FedEx to ask what the hell was going on.

The first is a beautifully renovated building (65 years old) with a wooden staircase to office suites. The FedEx driver took his metal hand truck and dragged it over the steps - five times. On the last run, I saw him doing this and stopped him. It scored the steps to the point that I had to have them refinished - again. The second is another restored building (103 years old) with a tile entry and steps. The ground floor is commercial space.

    He was making a delivery with a metal hand truck. He slammed it into the step so hard that it chipped the tile. I filed a complaint with FedEx, only to be told that they would not pay it because there was no eye witness to the damage. It does not take a brain surgeon to figure out who did it. You go into a building and there is no damage. Five minutes later, no one else comes in and there is FedEx delivery. You follow the driver out and there is a chipped tile and the driver holding a hand truck. Who else could have done it? The broken tile fairy?

    I purchased an antique mahogany mirrored shelf with inlaid scrimshaw from eBay seller James for $375 plus shipping and insurance on March 20, 2012. James shipped the shelf to me via FedEx. The shelf arrived broken in two on April 6, 2012. I immediately took photos of the broken shelf and the packaging and filed a claim with FedEx. FedEx first said they could not tell the shelf was broken, which was ludicrous. It very obviously was broken.

    Then, they sent me a letter denying the claim because the shelf was "not properly packed for shipment." The shelf was completely wrapped in thick bubble wrap twice over, which was then taped closed. It was shipped in a significantly larger box than its own dimensions, and it was thoroughly cushioned with tons of shock-absorbing material. The shipping box was thick-walled, too. The box was securely taped shut at all points. There is no way the shelf would have been broken in half if the box had been properly handled en route from Maryland to Texas.

    I paid the seller via check, and since FedEx denied the claim, he does not answer his phone or return phone calls. He does not answer his emails. He refuses to refund me, even though I did not pack the shelf or transport. He is still listing auctions daily on eBay, and so far as I know, he is still shipping via FedEx. He told me he ships about 20 packages a week with FedEx, and he has nearly 5000 feedback. Is it likely that he did not package the item properly? No, it is not. This is just FedEx's attempt to get out of paying the claim.

    Now, I have been left high and dry by both the seller and FedEx. I have filed a criminal complaint for fraud against the seller with ic3, per eBay's suggestion; and I will be filing a civil suit against FedEx very soon if the claim is not paid. After searching online today, I have discovered that FedEx routinely denies claims as a matter of course. This is dishonest and no way to run a business. I want all of my money refunded immediately.

When I tapped my breaks to indicate that he needed to back off, he put his bright lights on and started to honk. I-80 from Coralville to Iowa City, IA is under road construction so the speed limit is 55 miles an hour. I was traveling in the left lane going 60 miles an hour when driver # ** started flashing his lights and honking for me to move over. I could not move into the right lane because there was traffic in that lane and I was already going 5 miles over the speed limit in a construction zone.

    I did not feel that this driver needed to be right on my bumper, flashing his bright lights and honking at me. When I got a chance to move into the right lane after 4 miles, he drove past me while honking. His license plate # is **. There is no reason for a driver to ever have their brights on when following a car, nor is there a reason for them to be so close to another vehicle that you can't even see their headlights.

    There are no packages in the world that are more important than someone's life. Just two days ago, a FedEx driver rolled his semi on this same highway because he was not paying attention. When I tried calling the 800 #, I was not given an email address, a phone number or anything so I could report this. Many trucking companies have a sign asking how their drivers' driving is for feedback such as this - not FedEx.

    The package arrived on 19 April 2012. The estimated arrival date was 23 January 2012. A nine-day delivery estimate ended up being almost 100 days and a most awful experience! This package was my first international shipment, so I had numerous questions when dropping it off. I was an international shipping "virgin" but felt that by using the "brand name" shipping service (aka FedEx), I would be in good hands.

    My first question was, "Does FedEx deliver to the town of Zboriv, which is in the middle of Ukraine and quite small? I was told that my package would get to his door, that FedEx had shipping agents everywhere. Wrong. Dustin had to take a vacation day off work to pick up the package in a town that was over 30 miles away. He took the bus and then a cab to pick this package up. This cost him a day of work, plus money that he does not have for cab/bus fare. The amount for bus and cab fare was 10% of his monthly salary! It was raining hard, so not only did he get soaked but the package did as well. He had to ride back on the bus with a rather large, 17-18 lb package on his lap. I was not told until this week that Zboriv was out of the shipping area. Why was I not informed of this when I shipped the package so that I could have had the chance to change my mind?

    My second question involved filling out the paperwork. All of these items were for personal use - school supplies and office supplies (for teaching), clothing, photographs, greeting cards. In filling out the shipping invoice, there was not enough room to write each item in detail. Since I had never done this before, I asked the clerk at the FedEx office. The shipping clerk told me that I could just list the main categories of items (clothing and office supplies) and a total amount. Wrong. I had to create a detailed shipping invoice and email it to Ukraine. Why was I not told this when I left the package? I was the novice. They are the experts which is what I paid them for.

    I also asked the shipping clerk if it would help to put my son's employer on the invoice. I thought this might help the shipping agent locate him. Wrong. This led customs to believe that my package was for commercial use and/or resale. In order for it to be delivered to him, I had to get his boss in Kiev, Ukraine involved, which was embarrassing for me and for my son. Once again, why was I not properly instructed in how to fill out the shipping invoice? I understand that Ukraine is difficult, but why are there not more specific instructions based on the country of destination?

    I also incurred charges for "duties" that I had no clue would be a part of the shipping process. Once again, when dropping the package off in the US, I asked if there was anything else I needed to do or pay for. Nothing was mentioned about customs duties or fees. As a first time international shipper, how was I to know that this was part of the process? I did not see anything about customs fees/duties in the portion of their website that mentioned shipping to Ukraine. Had I known that this package would end up costing me twice the actual value, I would have never shipped it. No one in their right mind would spend that kind of money to send clothing and office supplies. I would much rather have given that whole sum of money to my son as a gift rather then spend it on charges I wasn't even informed of. A manager that I spoke to in your international shipping dept. told me that I should have been informed that duties would be due for my shipment. Why was I not told that I may incur customs duties and given the choice of not shipping my package? I can understand a charge of like $20-$30, but I was charged $300.

    I called FedEx at least two dozen times over these four months. I did receive a few calls from them regarding this package but the majority of the calls were initiated by me, calling to check the status. Every time I called, I was treated like I should have known these duties would be charged and that my package may take this long to arrive, as if I were a business person who shipped packages regularly. Every time I called, I received a different story about the status of my package. I heard that it was going to be sent back, that it was sent to lost packages and would be destroyed, that it was on its way, that I was going to have to pay return shipping. I never got the same answer twice. Why did it take so long for me to get an straight answer? I never really received a straight answer. The day before Dustin picked up the package, I was told that it may be at abandoned packages.

    I am just a mom, who doesn't make much money but wanted to send a nice care package to her son. I spent hours shopping for and choosing the right items for my "care package". Most of the teaching supplies are a waste at this point, since the school year is almost over for Dustin. The warm clothing that I sent was also a waste, since the cold season is nearing an end. I understand that much of this situation was due to Ukrainian customs, but I only followed the directions of the shipping clerk and feel that I was grossly misled in the process and cost of my shipment. Nowhere on their website did I find anything other than the prohibited items for Ukraine. Nothing about duties, charges, etc. I chose FedEx because of its reputation and my trust in them to get the job done.

    There needs to be a more thorough guide for beginners. One of their representatives told me that I should have sent the package through USPS, since they were a government agency and do not have as much difficulty getting things through customs. Surely, this is not the first package that someone has sent to Ukraine. I strongly feel that warning message should pop up on the computer when a person brings a package in for a country such as Ukraine. Being the novice, I should have been informed of all the options before handing over my money and my package. I feel that I have been grossly overcharged for this shipping of this package and the expenses I incurred trough no fault of my own. I would like to ask for a refund. Thank you for letting me vent.

    I was in my driveway, running late for work, the car running and I started to back up. I was in reverse moving when the FedEx driver pulled up and blocked me in. I was thinking, "didn't you see me moving? I need to go. I am kinda in a hurry!" I know there are other people in the house that can sign for a package and I know it isn't for me so I planned on driving away. Then the jerk opened his driver's side door and I inched back to let him know I needed him to move. Instead of moving his truck, he got out and walked around to the back of his truck. By now, I am furious! So he had left me enough room to inch around in an awkward 3 point turn to reverse out and I made it out. I wanted to yell all kinds of obscenities but instead, I pulled past him and said "That wasn't very courteous." I know, an extremely lame attempt but I wanted the jerk to know that it wasn't okay!

    What on earth is his thought process? If he blocks me in, I have to sign. I am thinking if he wants me to sign, I would have thrown the package at him. If nothing else, it made a good "why am I late" story.

    Handing over of package to persons other than name mentioned : The parcel was supposed to reach at 4pm (IST). The courier was told to call when he was 15 minutes away from the address.

The courier was given strict instructions to call before he reaches and to hand it over to only the people concerned. The courier showed complete disregard for the FedEx method of working.

    Firstly, the deliveries are always made on time and the people at the offices are courteous. This was not the case this time! The courier had to constantly be reminded that he had said 4 pm and when the office was contacted about this, they weren’t courteous or helpful. Secondly, if the concerned people are not there, the courier is taken back and contact details left.

    I sent a package of art supplies from NYC to Canada via FedEx Ground, total price of shipping being $134.99. After I was informed by the recipient that the package never arrived, I checked the tracker on their website and realized the package was being bounced around two different NYC boroughs and never left the city. I contacted a customer service rep. and was informed that the package was being sent back to me because it was refused by the recipient! This is obviously impossible because the package never left NYC. After being told several more times that the package was refused by the recipient on two different occasions, they changed their story to I was missing a commercial invoice. I inquired as to what that is (I am not familiar with shipping terms) and have been ignored since.

    When the package was sent back to my residence, it was heavily damaged and missing $156.09 worth of merchandise. I attempted to file a claim with FedEx but cannot because their claims department is designed so that a) I cannot file a claim for a package not delivered because they consider sending the package back to me as delivery complete and b) I cannot file a claim for missing merchandise because I don't have the purchase receipt for the items. Their customer service is an absolute abomination. Their reps, both through e-mail and via phone, just give you the runaround, do not answer any questions, and are just completely unhelpful.

    Near accident caused by unsafe driving of large FedEx truck at Louis Drive and Ivyland Rd at 4:25PM on Monday, March 26th, 2012. The number painted on the truck was probably 72937. I'm hoping that this information will be forwarded to improve road safety. On Monday, March 26th at 4:25, a large FedEx truck nearly caused an accident by turning left at the stop sign, directly into oncoming west bound traffic of Ivyland Road. Had the truck come to a full stop at stop sign before pulling out in front of my car, he would not have entered Ivyland Rd until after my car had passed and had traveled at least some 4-6 car lengths beyond the T-intersection.

    Instead, this truck entered Westbound Ivyland Road without a pause. My car would have hit the front end of the truck if I had not stood on my brakes, laying a path of tire tread on the road and coming within inches of the FedEx truck's cab. Then this FX truck turned right (N) into the parking lot at 433 Ivyland before the light at Mearns. I wrote down the number I saw painted large on the truck. I believe it was truck #72937. In case I may have transposed or missed a digit, it should be easy to find the truck that would have been traveling N on Louis Drive (between Street Rd and Ivyland Rd) at 4:25 on Monday, March 26th. Please forward this to FedEx to improve road safety for all. Thank you.

    I had a new vehicle hitch kit sent via FedEx Ground from a reputable car parts dealer. The website showed a delivery date of March 12th and that Sunday (the 11th) an updated page with my tracking number showed the package to be delivered the next business day. So on the 12th, I spent an hour at work from 9 am Central to 10 am Central and then returned home. It was the first real nice day of the year so I opened my garage door and proceeded to start assembling a bike rack I had bought to go on my new car hitch (bike rack was delivered USPS on Friday before no problems). I was also working on my mountain bike. I was anxiously awaiting my new hitch package so I could mount my bike rack, my bike and go riding.

    By 12 pm, I hadn’t seen my FedEx driver. Knowing they are usually in my area by 11 am, I went inside to check my delivery status online. What do you know; FedEx's website claimed my package was delivered, left at my front door at 2 pm. There were immediately some concerns with this. First, I had been home all but one hour and outside in my garage. Second, it was 12 pm Central, so how the package could have been delivered in the future was a mystery.

    I decided to be pro-active and call the 1-800-Go-Fedex and talked to a very nice lady, who said she would call the local office, have them call the driver and they would call me back. Not yet panicked, I said that was fine. By 4:30 pm, I still had not gotten a phone call. I again called 1-800-Go-Fedex. Again, I was greeted by a very nice lady who claimed to be surprised that the first lady I spoke to did not give me a "case number". That set off the first alarm bells that these people may not be totally competent (FedEx in general). She gave me a case number and again told me that she would call the local office and have them call the drive who would then call me.

    Well that never happened on the 12th. The morning of the 13th, I attempted to find a local phone number for my local FedEx Ground office. Of course, FedEx intentionally does not publish any numbers for these locations. They don’t want you calling them if they can help it. So I waited for my local driver and pulled up behind her at a stop. She was the FedEx Express driver and could not comment on why the Ground driver may have missed delivering my package. However, she was very kind and professional and apologized (though it wasn’t her fault) and gave me the local office’s number.

    I called the local office. Anita at my local Green Bay, WI office was very nice to me on the phone, it’s important that I make that clear. However, in the end, her solution to my issue was a joke. She claimed to get the local driver on the phone. The driver first claimed that he left it at the house that always has the "white van in the driveway". I told her that there is never a white van in my driveway as no one in my household owns one and I don’t know anyone who owns one. The driver then said "he was thinking of someone else’s package" and was sure that he left my package up against my door. I explained that I had been home the whole day except from 9am to 10am. The driver then claimed he dropped it off at 9am. I asked why the system showed 2pm. I was told by Anita that sometimes the times on their scanners aren’t accurate. Huh? Really?! I was then told that there was nothing they could do and I had to contact the original seller of the package.

    So basically any FedEx driver delivering a package that does not require a signature can steal a package or deliver it to a wrong address and take no ownership for the mistake, too bad, too sad for the customer. Would a driver that intentionally takes packages home time and time again get caught? Sure FedEx would catch one eventually. But what about one that does it just once in a while? There is no recourse and no way for them to get caught.

    Anita from the local office said to me "sometimes packages grow legs" in a vain attempt to say that one of my neighbors probably took it from my porch. The problems with that are profound: someone would have had to do it in the single hour I was gone. My neighbors are all known to me and we are all friends and on good terms. My house is set back a bit in the woods and my porch is not visible from the road. I live in a nice neighborhood where FedEx often leaves things like computers and big screen TVs on porches and they do not get stolen. This is a license to steal and it is not fair business practice. Shame on FedEx!

    FedEx Insurance: Focusing pin on an insured telescope was bent in transit. It was packed in a custom foam fitted wooden case with outer cardboard marked “FRAGILE, GLASS”. FedEx simply denied repair claim even though manufacturer states that this most often occurs from an excessive end impact (box also said Do Not Stand on End). Why bother with insurance if it is simply denied without recourse?

    I sold glass mosaic through eBay and shipped via FedEx ground. I packed accordingly with Styrofoam, bubble wrap, corner protectors, everything (I have been shipping this material for years, but usually use UPS) and added insurance to the package. I added "fragile" signs to the box. The box arrived visibly damaged and so was the material inside it. The receiver sent me pictures of the damaged material and filed a claim with FedEx for the amount of $1100. FedEx replied saying I (as the sender) have to file the claim and closed his case. I did file the claim and received a message stating it was denied because the item was not properly packed. Funny enough, there were no images of the exterior package or interior protection included in the pictures the sender provided to FedEx. So how can they say it was not packed properly? What a joke, this is stealing! I paid for insurance and now there is nothing I can do about it?

    On Friday, March 9, 2012, FedEx attempted to make a delivery to my residence and claimed no one was home to sign for the package. I had the driver made an effort and drove up the driveway. He would have seen that my husband and I were in fact home and in our garage. I called FedEx, and I was assured the package would get redelivered on Saturday March 10, 2012 before noon. As noon approached, there's still no package, so I viewed my tracking number and found to my disgust that the driver had listed us not home once again.

    First problem I have with this is that both my husband I were home all day waiting for our package, and the second problem is that FedEx never came down our road all morning. I called once again to find out what was going on and spoke to a manager, who stated that the driver couldn't find the house (Yet, they got here just fine the day before) and assured me that my package was going to be delivered later this afternoon.

    It is now 7:40pm, and there's still no delivery from FedEx. If I could chose, I would never use FedEx again. They are an irresponsible company who seems very lazy, and for a delivery company, they obviously need training on how to deliver a package to a residence and by all means if the delivery person cannot find the address on GPS for whatever reason, pick up the phone and contact the customer for directions!

    My package was set to be sent to me overnight on Thursday, March 8, 2012, but it was not received. When I contacted your customer service line, I was told that the delivery guy left notice stating that no one was home when they attempted to deliver. I explained to her that I work from home, was home all day, and could not go anywhere since I also had a flat tire. I also the package did not have to be signed for and could have been left on my door. She then said a manager from my local office would contact me. She put me on hold and disconnected our call.

    When I called back, I got a second representative, Adriana. She was very nice and she let me know that the first representative had not left notes for a manager to call me nor had she left any notes. Adriana then transferred me to her supervisor, Kelly, who then let me know that the delivery guy supposedly left a door tag regarding my package. I then explained once again that no tag was left at my door and that no one came to my door. I added that I knew this because I was home all day since I work from home. I also explained to her that if I'd had a door tag, I would have been able to track my package online instead of having to call and have them find the package via my address!

    Not only that, but since my package did not have to be signed for, instead of leaving a door tag, why didn't he left my package as they've done before? Kelly then placed me on hold and got me to a local person at the FedEx facility. I asked her how I could get my package. She told me I could come to the facility to pick it up; otherwise, it would not be delivered until Monday. I do not appreciate paying for overnight delivery and not being able to receive my package until 4 days later. I also do not appreciate paying you guys to deliver a package to me and being told, “You can come to the facility to pick it up.” What did I pay you for again?

    I'd like to receive my money back for the cost of overnight shipping that was not delivered on. I'd also like to file a complaint on the driver for lying and saying no one was home and the representative I spoke to that hung up in my face. I've never had bad service with FedEx when I've used you all before, but this time it was horrendous enough for me not to want to use you ever again!

    Delivery was scheduled for 3-8-2012 from out of the Johnstown, Colorado location. I came home from work (I was down in Johnstown) and no package. After checking online to track the package, it showed that it is delayed in Johnstown because of a weather delay. I spent all day about 10 miles outside of Johnstown today and the weather was 40 degrees, sunny, and no wind. I called FedEx and they told me if the driver felt unsafe to deliver because of the weather, then he would not! I don’t know what kind of working conditions these drivers expect, but 40 and sunny are pretty good for me! I am extremely unhappy with this blatant lie regarding what seems to either be laziness on a driver’s part or false paperwork at the office level.

    I own a small business in London, Ontario. I ordered business cards through FedEx Office (Kinkos) at 275 Dundas St. I had no problem setting up the business cards; the individual who helped me was very pleasant and professional. However, when I went to verify the layout the cards the next day, I was served by a grey-haired woman who snapped and shouted all the way through. The service was so bad that I was reluctant to return the next day. My fears were justified; the grey-haired woman was there, stomping around, yelling and screeching at everyone. I have no idea what makes someone behave like that.

    I stood in line to pick up my order; two other people who arrived after me with similar orders were served ahead of me. When I protested, mildly, I got yelled at by the grey-haired woman. When I protested again, politely, to the grey-haired woman's under staff, a younger, broader woman, I was again yelled at. The much broader woman seemed out-to-lunch. She did not know what she was doing or what was going on.

    A 30 second job turned into a bizarre, 30 minute experience. I have no idea what kind of zoo they are running at this place, but it is not the kind of operation I want to give my money to.

    Over the years, FedEx has gone from a top company to one that I will no longer use or recommend. Their service in the past years had been impeccable; however, this is no longer true. It appears they now refuse to walk to the front doors to deliver an item but either toss it on the driveway or leave it under the mailbox which is located at the end of the driveway. This can obviously cause some problems, especially if it is snowing and a plow comes by and there goes the package.

    In my case, it was found by the storm drain with 50 pages of paperwork inside which were now drenched and useless. This was an overnight package sent to me with very sensitive materials. You would think that someone is paying top dollar so that they could at least leave the item by the front door.

    On February 28, 2012,a package (uncovered) was left at my front door that was not meant for me. I called the only number on the package (Jay's Discount Corp. of NJ) and that number was answered by a machine that only acknowledge the number called.

    I left message about the package. Thinking that this would not resolve the issue, I called FedEx 800 number and after finally getting through the "voice", I was instructed to wait for the next available agent. When that individual got on the phone, I went through the routine of giving them the numbers of the package and delivery slip and was told that it was delivered to the right address. “This is true but that individual does not live here,” was my response and then it was stated by the agent that the package was supposed to be re-routed and it was delivered to me by accident. It was stated that they would be there to pick up the package that day.

    Since the weather was going to be bad, I kept the package inside and waited. When I could wait no longer, I left the package on the front porch (which they told me was fine), even after explaining that the porch was uncovered. No pickup on 2/28, 2/29 or morning of 3/01 so I called again and this time was treated like it was my problem. After a long discussion about who's problem it really was, it was stated they would get the package picked up, again that day or next morning. Well it is now 3/2 and the package is still here and I called again.

    The agent I finally spoke with acted again as if it was my problem and I asked to talk to her supervisor. When her supervisor got on the phone, it was worse than talking to the agent. At no time did anyone acknowledge that it was not my problem and that it was appreciated my taking the time to contact them. No consideration is given that a package sitting on one's porch is an invite that no one is at home. No consideration is given to the fact the package will sit in the elements. This is not the first time I have a bad experience with FedEx (one led to an insurance claim and police report being filed).

I looked up the tracking and it stated that it was delivered and signed by A. ** (no such person live at my house with that name) on Jan 23. The first time I called, FedEx rep.said FedEx attempted to deliver and no one was living there.

    What?! I have been living in this address for almost ten years, have received mails on every mail day and UPS as well as FedEx shipments before. Then he said they tried to reach the shipper but never received a response so destroyed. He told me they would investigate and someone would call me back in 24 hrs. The next day, there was no call, so, of course, I had to call back.

    Another rep. said they attempted to call my cell but got busy, which is a lie because I do not have any missed calls and I told him I pay bills on time and use my phone daily, so that's BS. Then he said he's not really sure what the situation is, although he says online status is not correct. So I asked then FedEx just makes up stuff to put online for tracking and he didn't reply. Then he said after reading some more on his end that it was initially attempted and delivered to the wrong address (he actually admitted it was wrong address). Then they tried to deliver to the correct address, which I stated that's definitely not the case as there is always someone home. And, if we did miss it, where is the missed delivery note that's supposed to have been left? And what happened to the 3x delivery attempt? Rep. just said that was it and then it was considered abandoned and the package was destroyed.

    I highly doubt it was destroyed. I think a FedEx employee opened my package, saw how cute my shoes were and kept it, then made up some bogus BS story that their own co-workers could not keep up with. All I can say is, it's absolutely disgusting behavior! It's not just the money as I can get that refunded via eBay, but the loss of my time and no product, it's absolutely unacceptable.

    Exactly one week after shipment of this USB memory stick from our offices in Chicago, the package had still not been delivered to an address in Central London. We called FedEx customer services UK a few times to check on the status and were originally told that their driver could not find the office, and then that he had tried to deliver the package twice but there was no reply. This was not possible because the office was occupied at all times, so he must have gone to the wrong address or just not tried to make contact. FedEx were supplied with a contact telephone number from the very start, but when I asked why their driver did not use it I was told that drivers do not carry mobile phones. I was told that in the event of non-delivery the driver can radio this information back the control office. I then suggested that the best solution would be for your FedEx office to ring the customer on the driver's behalf to inform the customer that he was waiting outside the premises, but was told that it is not company policy to telephone the customer!

    This begs the following questions:

    What is the point of having a customer services office when they do not provide any customer service or satisfaction, and are incapable of offering any practical help whatsoever?

    What is the point of supplying a contact telephone number if your company is not prepared to use it?

    Do you really think it is acceptable to just keep failing to deliver a package without making any attempt to contact the customer, and then put the onus on the customer to come and collect it from your depot?

    I bought a gift and purchased two-day air delivery (by the way, it was in Sarasota, Florida going to Naples, Florida a two hour drive maximum). It was placed on a truck at 8:24 am in Naples, Florida for delivery and we were told the driver didn't have enough time to deliver the package. Wow, they are really loaded down and it's not even Christmas. Phone call with agent and a supervisor were totally unsatisfactory. I was told it wouldn't be delivered (at all now). I have to pick up. They are not open on Saturday or Sunday so Monday is earliest. My grandsons birthday is today, Friday, and I can't get until Monday. Don't set expectations that it would be delivered via an email stating the package was on the truck for delivery at 8:24 am on the correct day it should arrive (dumb move)! We will be contacting company where purchase was made. We will never ship via FedEx and the handling of this was ludicrous. No customer service. Company stinks. Hope they fold in this economy.

    I received a single notice of missed delivery from FedEx on February 2. They marked it as the third attempt. Either there's a lazy driver or they're shorting their customers to reduce repeat delivery volume. I called customer service after I received a message stating that they could arrange for a drop off at a FedEx/Kinkos location. The rep told me that I either had to go to their processing facility in the Bronx or loose the delivery. I do not have time to go 3 hours out of my way to a place that isn't connected to public transit today, or I will miss work.

    The package was a textbook for a class that I needed for homework over the weekend. Thanks to FedEx incompetence, I had to drop a class, loose my tuition money and receive a W on my transcript. Thanks **.

    FedEx excuses why delivery was delayed: (Really, I kid you not!)
    1. They didn't have my correct phone number.
    2. They only have one delivery vehicle.

    3. Vehicle was too full.

    Needless to say, the delivery is already 5 days past the scheduled delivery date. Contacting someone for assistance at FedEx is worse than a root canal. The problem as I see it is twofold: There are just way too many "managers" and not one person will admit their mistake. Whatever happened to taking responsibility for one's job?

    I was given a delivery date of 1/28/2012, which was a Saturday that worked out wonderfully for my scheduling. I stayed home all day awaiting the delivery of a very important package, checking the status periodically throughout the day for any changes or updates on the whereabouts of my important delivery. Only for the time to get down to close to closing of the business and me giving it a last stitch effort that maybe the driver is still on his way to my home since I know he hasn't come yet being as though I sat in my living room by the front door the whole day.

    My home isn't that large so he could have thrown a pebble at my window and I would have still heard it. I checked the update and it says "Delivery exception: Customer not available or business closed", which was a blatant lie on the driver's part! He never came to my home and if he just so happened to miraculously mouse tap on my door and me not hear him, he didn't leave evidence of an attempt which from my previous encounters with FedEx, a hang tag is left.

    I am outraged at the actions of such a lazy individual that clearly chose to shorten his route but falsifying information to clear his Saturday early. I even went so far as to call the facility to confirm Saturday delivery. I am an executive escalations analyst for a fortune 500 company that deals with Fed frequently and unfortunately, I have learned that these lazy antics are not strangers to this company.

    Hence, the most recent fiasco on the news with the lazy agent tossing a fragile package over a gate. I will be continuing to escalate this complaint to the highest level in and out of the FedEx company because although it may seem petty to you, this package was of immeasurable importance to me and it was tossed aside as if my time wasn't important in this matter.

    Spending a whole day anticipating this arrival only to find out I was shammed to the back and lied on is a pill too large to swallow on my part. Then to be informed that I have to wait an additional day because the company is closed on Mondays made the lazy actions of that person even harder to accept because if he/she would have in fact did what he gets $2 an hour to do, I would have my package and wouldn't have to explain to you why I am upset with the actions that this company accepts. I expect this delivery person to explain his false accusations and be dealt with accordingly or this will definitely not be over. The news and Better Business Bureau will be contacted.

    What about packages that were never delivered and then "destroyed" by FedEx customs? I ordered my wedding dress from a dressmaker in Portugal. It was delayed at FedEx customs for two days because they apparently needed to know if it was "woven or knitted." When they finally received the answer from the dressmaker, I had already called them inquiring about it. They said I needed some special number to have it sent to me. I knew nothing about this.

    Long story short, my dress never made it in time for my wedding and in fact never made it. A couple of days later, I called to inquire about where it was. They said that they needed my SSN in order to release it to me (it was still across the country in Phoenix in Customs. I live in California). I told them I'd like to give that information to a manager, not just "anyone" over the phone. Because a manager wasn't available at that time, I told them I'd call them back in two days on my day off to talk to someone. When I did so, I learned that the day before, my package was labeled "abandoned" and therefore "destroyed" by FedEx Customs because there was a five-day holding limit.

    This was the first time I'd heard of a five-day holding limit. They'd contacted the dressmaker but she didn't want to pay for the dress to be shipped back to her. No one contacted me at all. On top of it, no one from FedEx could tell me exactly what "destroyed" meant. I still don't know. (An employee free-for-all?) Since then, I've filed a claim, including all required documents, hoping that FedEx would pay for at least part of my dress. I just received notice in the mail yesterday that they "cannot honor" my claim. In the same letter, they gave me some links to FedEx "guide to services, claims online, packaging, etc." As if I'll ever use them again. On top of it, it's pretty humorous that they think they won't be hearing from me again, and again, and again.

    We moved back to NY 2 years ago, and ever since, we have had horrible service in this area with FedEx. Any package that requires a signature, the driver doesn't even try to deliver. We've watched him run from his truck with a door-tag, slap it on our door, and run. This has happened twice in the past week alone! He never knocks, or rings the bell, just door-tag and run. By the time I hear the truck pull up and run downstairs, he's taking off like he's just robbed a bank. Not to mention, the last package that didn't require a signature, somehow he put in my garage, and didn't leave any notice that he had delivered the package, or where he put it.

    I had to fight with the company I purchased from, that it was never delivered, and they finally sent me another item a week late. Two weeks later, I found the package in the corner of my garage! I've complained at the local depot, sent emails to customer service, and complained directly to the 800 number. Each time, I'm assured my complaint will be heard by the appropriate channels, and each time, nothing changes.

    I sold four deli scales on E-Bay to one customer. I carefully packed the scales with bubble wrap and plastic air pillows. I also labeled the box with an 8-1/2" x 11" saying "Do Not Stack - Fragile". The scales were insured at the sale price which was $450.00 (originally bought for $1800.00). The recipient called to say three arrived safely and one damaged. I immediately called FedEx to start the claim process. They took my information and told me someone would be in touch. Two days passed and I called again, this time to find out the process takes a week. So after 9 days I called again and was asked if I had sent any supporting documentation in. I was bewildered, "What documentation and where do I send it?" I asked. All of that information is on your claim form. "What claim form?" I asked.

    Let me send that to you right now. I filled out the form and sent in all of the documents (original bill of sale, repair estimate, cost to Ship which they should have). At this point two weeks had gone by all of which could have been avoided had the first rep told me I had to fill out paperwork. I received a phone call from FedEx a week later then asking me the recipient’s phone number, which was on the shipping information. I gave the information and the recipient called stating that FedEx wanted either pictures of the box and contents or they would have to pick the box up and ship it back to me!

    The recipient opted to take the pictures as we did not want FedEx to return the package. He then e-mailed them to FedEx. A week went by and I called again, this time the rep told me sending the pictures was not an approved method of inspection. I told the rep FedEx doesn't know what end is up. Three days later a letter arrived saying FedEx was denying my claim because the package was not available for inspection. I called again and this time actually spoke to Gene in claims department. He told me pictures were an acceptable way to inspect a claim under $1000.00. Gen also said they never received the pictures. Again the pictures were sent.

    Today Gene called and said, "I can't pay the claim because the item was not shipped in manufacturer’s original packing. If that is not available then the item must be packed above the manufacturer’s standard.” That scale was dropped and crushed no original packing would have saved it. FedEx has shun all responsibility from the beginning putting all the work on the claimant, even to go as far as if you print out certain shipping information from their website and accept their terms, you absolve them from any responsibility for damaged packages. This information was part of the supporting documentation for their claim process! I told Gene he has lost a customer, and Gene this is not over!

    It cost extra to deliver the package on Saturday so we would have to go up on Saturday to get the package or wait til after Christmas to get it.

The item was supposed to be free over night delivery as the company was running a special for Christmas. Needless to say we paid highly for the delivery for what we went through because FedEx representatives didn't advise us correctly.

    Saturday, traveled over an hour to get the package. When we got there, the package wasn't there and the lady at the desk called the driver and the package was already on the truck to be delivered within the hour. There was no way we could get back home by then. Not only did our plans gets missed up on Friday but the Saturdays plans got missed up. Spent all the money on gas to go get the the package and it was on the truck. We paid dearly for the shipping with the price we paid in gas.

    The representatives said it wouldn't be delivered until after Christmas. We changed our plans for them to deliver and had to change our plans on Saturday to go pick up a package that wasn't there. If FedEx can call to make sure someone is going to be home, I feel they should of called to let us know they weren't delivering the package as we waited all even for them to deliver.
