On a certain date, I was expecting very important documents. I purposely stayed home to receive such package. Instead, I received a sticker on my mailbox. It seems the FedEx delivery guy was too lazy to ring my doorbell to notify me of my delivery. After immediately notifying management, I was told they could not do anything about my so-called "missed" delivery (#**) for that very same day.

On December 22nd, I placed an order with Amazon for an inflatable mattress to be delivered the next day. I paid for the overnight shipping, verified it was at my sort facility on December 23rd. It was on the truck all day and back at the sort facility that night. The next day (late), I asked the driver why it was not delivered on time when it was on the truck all the day before. His reply was "I had too many deliveries". I told him my kids were spending the night for Christmas and they had to sleep on the floor because my shipment was on the truck.
He stated, "At least someone got some sleep; I haven't slept in weeks." I told him I was going to ask for my money back on the overnight shipping and he stated "Amazon shipping is free". I told him he was mistaken and he asked if I wanted to send the package back or keep it. I told him I would go ahead and keep it because I don't want to have to depend on FedEx to get it to me on time next year when I may need the mattress again. The driver was rude and very unprofessional. I don't understand why FedEx does not hire more people to accommodate the increased volume during the holidays. Every thing on the trucks should be delivered no matter how late it is before returning to the facility. I will never choose FedEx as a carrier and try to avoid retailers that ship FedEx.

I ordered a 37-inch HDTV from walmart.com. The FedEx delivery man arrived with the package on the appropriate date, 12-24-11. He smiled and said, "I have a TV for you." I could see one side of the box and it looked fine. I signed the form and he set it inside my house. As soon as he left, I slid the box into another room and immediately saw that the other side of the box had significant damage. There were two holes (the largest was 5 inches by 2 inches) and two tears of about 5 to 6 inches each. The box is still sealed but I can feel breakage through the holes.
This is not the way to do business--hiding potential damage and taking off! The driver should have said, "I see some holes in the box; why don't you open it now so we can see if the TV is okay?" I would have respected that. I have emailed walmart.com and they responded immediately with an offer to refund the item. I really wanted a replacement but it is out of stock. But I don't think Wal-Mart should be responsible for FedEx's mishandling of the package.

Unfortunately, I was not surprised to see so many recent complaints. I ordered a doll for my niece through American Girl. I spent the extra money for a 2-day delivery and it got to the nearest center on time. For two days it has gone on the truck and no delivery. When I keep calling, I keep getting told that there is "high volume". The week before Christmas seems like it would be expected and that they would make provisions for that. The only solution I have is for me to drive an hour and a half to pick up the package. I plan on demanding my money back from American Girl, but I will definitely not purchase from any company that uses FedEx. Maybe at some time the company will understand their own mission statement that is listed on the website. If you don't believe in following it, why post it? I will never use FedEx again.

I paid over $10 a pound for a 2nd day package delivery from Mesa, AZ to Marietta, GA. It arrived midday on the 3rd. I see that Memphis has been backed up for 4 days, but not a word about that when I shelled out $54.55. Never again! The Local rep said there might have been snow in Memphis and I would have to file out a claim.

I have 3 or 4 deliveries from FedEx from so far. And all the time they were left on my front door, and online status says, "Left at front door. Signature Service not requested.” This is unacceptable as people steal locked cars in Detroit! UPS never does that. Even if signature is required, the delivery guy comes several times to deliver to hand. If things get lost as several people mentioned here, customer is left to deal with the seller.

Avoid the FedEx Distribution Center in Boone, NC at all costs. These people are rude. My delivery was late due to driver becoming ill. There was no back up driver and I was not informed that my packages had been returned to the Boone Distribution Center. At 5pm, I began searching for information and I found out their driver became ill, etc. I called the 800 FedEx number and learned I had to be in Boone by 6pm. I collected my tracking numbers and drove 45 minutes to the distribution center.
I arrived with four minutes to spare. When I expressed my displeasure at not being notified of no delivery (after paying for two days), the operations manager, Scott *** told me, "Well, we do not have to give you your packages!" and he picked up my packages and moved them to another location. When I told him I would call the main number, he started with, "Well, we can work this out or else." I have no idea what the "or else" meant. He would show me my packages, then take them away. Another employee, whose name was mostly covered by a pin of some sort, Keith ***, told me that I should have shopped earlier. I told him that I paid for two delivery and if they were unable to provide such service, they should let businesses know. They were both aware that I had a flight to catch the next morning and these were gifts to go with me.

FedEx delivery is terrible. They are too lazy to knock on the door unless they have to get a signature. Their service is late, they just live packages on the doorstep and have delivered to my doorstep as late as 10:30 p.m. I will only use USPS or UPS. Beware of FedEx’s crappy service. I saw on the news today, 12/21/11, where a FedEx fiver was caught on camera throwing an LCD large screen monitor over a fence and the item was completely damaged.

Not even one star. I was sitting at home about two feet from my front door and I heard a scratching on the front door. I looked out the window and saw the FedEx guy walking down my sidewalk. I yelled out to him “I am here.” He did not ring the bell or knock on the door. I called the 800 number before he even got out of my neighborhood. I ended up meeting him at another location. That’s a lame effort on his part to deliver the package. I guess there is kudos for those delivery drivers to at least make attempts. There must be a time issue. It takes more time for someone to answer the door and sign. But just as long the driver rolls up to the house and places the door tag on the door, that is deemed "attempted". That’s a very poor service. I am disgusted and would not recommend FedEx to anyone. I had even taken the day off from work to receive the package and this is how I am treated.

It is not the first time that FedEx disappointed me. Two years ago FedEx dispatched by mistake my nephew's passports to Jacksonville instead of Fort Lauderdale. They had to rush to their office to pick them up prior to leave from Miami airport under a wet day and with 8 suitcases. They almost missed the flight.
Now 3 weeks ago I was home and the FedEx driver left a door tag that I was not. He/she was delivering me my Apple laptop. I had to be on the phone for 3 hours in order to convince the supervisor to deliver it on the same day later on. Sure, I wasted almost the whole day at home. For every bad experience I make sure to report the company to better business bureau. I reported Bank of America, Barclays Bank, Sun Trust Bank, Sun Sentinel, Logitech and others which made me waste time and money. I closed my bank account with Bank of America after 9 years and now I am with Chase Bank.
The only two companies that I praise in America are American Express and Netflix. All the others are just garbage for lack of service, attention and professionalism. I think that you should do the same if you read my note. Take some time from your time and report the company to BBB. It would help them to improve and we will all benefit from that claim.

The tracking site said my package would arrive on schedule. Not only did it arrive two days late, but the driver put it in my rural mailbox instead of bringing it to my house. My mailbox is 1 mile from my house. I was unable to get the package in time to wrap the contents and ship it to Washington in time for Christmas. All the driver had to do was drive to my house as he had done many times before. That is a federal offense. How can I report this lazy driver to someone who cares?

I have waited since 12/2 for a damaged package to be picked up. FedEx delivered a package to me on 12/2, dropped it over my fence, that was locked and said beware of dogs, and my dog ate the package, and destroyed the item. I called right away, and they were coming to get it, and issued call tag 997-337-250-190-654. The package has been on my porch since 12/2 waiting for pickup. I have called everyday, spoke to Rosalyn, Dianne, Daniel, Brenda (who was of no help at all!), Angela and Douglas, who all told me FedEx would be here today. But today has never come because no one has come yet. This is a $200 item sitting on my Wal-Mart account.
It was a Christmas gift for my husband, which is now ruined, and no one has come to get it. Brenda told me tonight, 12/6 that FedEx said they came to get it, and no one was home, and there was no package. That is a lie! I have been here and the package is on the porch. I also have 2 neighbors, who are retired, watching for them. They have not come, and the package is still here. I asked to speak with a manager, and they still haven't called me back. This is ridiculous! This package is damaged because of FedEx leaving it in a locked area behind a fence. I keep getting told someone is coming, and no one has come. I am prepared to file a suit against them for stress, and loss of time from work, waiting for them to come and get this package. I am also contacting News 5.

FedEx drivers are speeding, running stop signs, backing up in residential driveways, and threatening. For 7 years, I have tried to contact FedEx about drivers speeding, running stop signs, and backing up in driveways. This has fallen on dead ears.
On 11/30/11, I witnessed a driver backing up in my neighbor’s driveway. When the driver saw me watching, he pulled off and then backed up and proceeded to cuss me and threaten me with violence. He told me that he knew where I worked and announced it. Wondering how he knew this. This is the second time that this driver has threatened me and that was 5 years ago when I asked this driver if he could slow down and stop at the stop signs before somebody gets hurt or killed and he attempted to attack me at that time and told me to mind my own business as this was what he told me today.
FedEx does not care. If you call customer service, they tell you they will have somebody at the local terminal call you and for 7 years they have gave me the same we-do-not-care-what-our-drivers-are-doing speech. Complaints to FedEx go unanswered and everybody that you talk to say that they have no way or cannot elevate these complaints to the corporate level. These drivers are a disgrace to the trucking industry.

I must say this is out of charter for me. I very rarely get to the point of publicly complaining. However, this is going to be my first time venting and expressing my disappointment with EedEx. I get home Tuesday, 11/22/11, with a signature card from FedEx stating this is the second attempt. Okay, not. But that aside, I place the card on the fridge to sign than place on the door for the delivery. However, as many with children understand, some stuff happens. I forgot to sign and place on door when I got home on Wednesday, 11/23/11, another signature card is on door stating the third and final notice. Okay, I'm upset!
This is the second notice! I call FedEx and they call the local dispatch who in turn calls leaves a message at 5:15 on 11/23 saying it will be delivered on Friday, 11/25. Okay, I get it 11/24 is thanksgiving. No problem! I have the card signed as of 11/23 after speaking to FedEx. So Friday arrives and no package. So again, I call FedEx and again ask the package to be re-delivered about 1 hour later and 5 minutes before closing, I get a message from the dispatch stating that they will not deliver my package because three attempts have been made. Okay, truly ** I call FedEx. This time the call center states that they cannot make the dispatch re-deliver. Okay, hold on! The people I am calling and asking to have the package sent cannot make the delivery people do the job they are hired to do. So my calling the call center is a waste of time! Really, I felt bad for the call center workers.
Okay, so I email FedEx. I email Disney, the company who is sending the package. I complain to both. I get a message from FedEx. This time I have an email stating that they will deliver on Monday, 11/ 28/11. I should never have to go to this much trouble. FedEx was contracted by the Disney company to deliver the package. I don't understand how basically in my case the first attempts, no notice if any where so by default! The second delivery is in essence the last and final chance to sign a signature card and have it on the door because if it is not on the door, that third delivery is the last. Then to call 5 minutes prior to close, and say they will not deliver the package because the sender only pays for 3 attempts .You have to be kidding! To add insult to injury, the call center has absolutely no way of putting pressure on the drivers or delivery center to re-deliver. This is awful.
I cannot see why any company would ever do business with FedEx! And I will look close at the business I shop at and will think twice about any company that used FedEx.

Some jewelery I forgot in San Francisco was shipped to me by the hotel. The shipment arrived safely in Australia, but unfortunately the FedEx deliverer ignored instructions to leave the package in the electricity box on two subsequent occasions. Despite giving them phone instructions on both occasions, and finally left a message to say that the package would be returned to sender due to failure to instruct. FedEx Australia have acknowledged that the delivering officer ignored instructions, and kept leaving notices that he could not deliver due to my absence. I had left all the signed discharges in the electricity box, as instructed.
Finally, I was told that the item would be delivered between 9.30 and 10 am on the following morning and that I had to stay at home to receive it. So I stayed at home, missing expensive professional development I was due to attend that day, only to receive a call to say the package would be delivered at 1.30pm. I demanded an immediate delivery, which did finally occur at 10.30. The package was finally delivered, but I find the charge of $88.71 outrageous in view of the poor service I received.

When I called Fedex (because 2 of the claims were denied), I was informed that Fedex does not insure packages and they do not offer insurance. I said, “Then why does the rate go up if I increase the value of the package?” She said it was liability. Obviously, it is liability insurance but she wouldn't say it. Everyone at Fedex calls it insurance except for the claims reps. Dealing with them is an absolute nightmare. Two of the boxes were crushed, but both of the claims reps said they don't see 'any sign of mishandling'.

On November 11, I was to receive a package. I knew the package was heavy and large and would not fit in my car so I purposely stayed home from work so that I would not miss the delivery. As I was waiting, I was also tracking the package online.
Around 3:00 pm, I noticed that the tracking system was saying that my package had been delivered at noon and signed for by someone named FMARIA. I immediately contacted FedEx and was told that the driver delivered the package to the wrong address and had to go back and get it. Then I was told that it would be delivered to me on Saturday, November 12. I spoke with another customer service agent telling them that the driver made a mistake and I should not be penalized for that, therefore I wanted them to deliver the package to me on that same day (11-11).
The agent told me that she contacted the driver and he would in fact deliver the package to me. I waited and waited until 8 pm when I knew delivery ended. At this point, I went outside and saw that there was a sorry we missed your door tag on my mailbox. The driver claimed he had been to my house at 12:58 pm. This makes no sense especially when the package was supposedly delivered to the wrong address prior to 12:58 pm. Also, as I stated, I was home all day meaning that if the driver did come to my home he did not ring the doorbell.
On Saturday, November 12, I contacted FedEx at 8:30 am. I was told that the driver would be delivering my package sometime before noon. I waited and regularly looked out the window. At one point around 11:00am, I did see a FedEx Home Delivery van drive down my street, however, he did not stop at my house. As I was checking the tracking around 1:20 pm online, I saw that the driver scanned delivery exception stating I was unavailable. Again, I had been home and the doorbell never rang. I called FedEx again explaining that the driver was not ringing my doorbell and I was told that he was still in the area and she would request that he return. I waited again for another two hours and contacted FedEx yet again. This time, I was told that FedEx home delivery does not redeliver and the package would be delivered again on November 15.
At this point, I am extremely upset with the way this situation has been handled. This driver (whoever he is) is clearly not doing his job the way he is supposed to and I, the customer, am being highly inconvenienced because of it. I sat around for two days waiting on this package. I took off work because I knew I could not afford to miss this package due to the size and weight of it. Now I am definitely going to miss the package on Tuesday and I refuse to miss another day of work especially when the driver clearly isn't ringing the doorbell.
Am I supposed to sit outside on the porch in order to get my package? I am truly disappointed by your company. This is not the way to treat customers and drivers should not be able to get away with misdelivering packages and not ringing doorbells. I also am baffled by the fact that the driver misdelivered the package but then tried to cover his tracks by putting a door tag on my mailbox. He should be reprimanded, not the customer.

** is wrong with FedEx Logistics? I ordered something on the 7th and paid extra for 2 day shipping. The item is being shipped from Indiana to Missouri, a day's travel at worst.

It would be one thing if this was the first time, but it is not. The last package took 6 days to deliver. I was told that the driver attempted to deliver but no one was home for two days. I work from home and my office is right by my front door. There is no way that someone tried to deliver without me knowing it. There was no notice left on my door claiming this.

I called FedEx the day before my shipment was supposed to arrive and explained to them that my doorbell doesn't work and asked if the driver can contact me by phone when he/she got to my house. The customer service representative told me it would not be a problem and made a note on my account.
The next day, I kept tracking the package constantly on my phone for 6 hours. I checked the phone again at 1:54 pm and saw that my package was apparently delivered at 1:41 pm. At that point I got really angry because the driver did not call me. I called FedEx right away and spoke to a manager by the name of Kristen **. She ended up giving me a completely different story. She said that the drivers don't get company cell phones and because they use their own phones, they can choose whether or not they want to make the phone call. I was so furious. Kristen tried to argue that drivers can't talk on the phone and drive which made me laugh.
I told her that the drivers eventually have to stop their trucks and get out to deliver packages so they can use the phone then. Then she started telling me that not every driver has a cell phone. I just kept getting excuses and not the help I was looking for. Eventually she said she will try to get in contact with the driver and see if they can come back. I waited for an hour before calling her back. Kristen said they are still getting in contact with the driver. Another hour passed and I decided to call back and speak to another manager. I was told that no one can get in contact with the driver. Then I spoke to a higher manager and was told that the driver is on break. At this point it was already 4 pm and I was furious. At 4:34 pm my package was finally delivered.
I think, it is very interesting how no one could get in contact with the driver for 3 hours but after fighting with the 3rd manager the driver showed up at my house in 15 minutes. I think, it's absolutely disgusting the kind of business these people run. It is a delivery service, so why aren't they delivering? I waited most of the day for one little package and that whole situation could have been avoided in the first place if they just called me. It is unfair to the consumers that FedEx has such incompetent and dishonest people working for them. I couldn't believe all the stress that I had to go through for something so simple. My chest was hurting all night because of that situation and for that to happen, it means I was really stressed. I want something done about these people.

Very bad service! (Yes I am angry; you probably get this a lot!) This is my second email complaint today, and I also called you twice. All I received was fake information; your staff keeps postponing my problem. I understand things may go wrong, but this is not about things going wrong, this is very bad customer service.
I've sent time critical documents to Colima / Mexico from Millbrae / CA on Oct. 26th. I paid extra to have them delivered on Friday, Oct 28th. They did not arrive on Friday. I've checked online, it says address exception. This is the address I always use, works with USPS; I used FedEx this time to make sure it is delivered on time. Whatever, we gave detailed information about the address (btw, just put the address on google maps, it finds the exact location).
They said package will be delivered on Monday, Oct 31st. We waited; nothing came as usual; no information online either. I filed a complaint on this form this morning. You replied with a number to call; I called it, they said it is wrong and that I should call another number. I called it; they said package is out for delivery; they will get updated information and call me back instantly. I waited for two hours; no one called. I called back again, they said request is not replied by Mexico, but a local agent will work on it. Fine, they called me an hour later saying that package is confirmed to be delivered today before 7pm. We waited, nothing came.
Now I understand all of these calls were returned with fake answers, just to postpone the customer request. You charged me to deliver the package in two days, and now it is 6 days with no delivery and without any valid reason plus very bad customer service (you cannot say the address is wrong while google maps, a free public service, can find it). This is scam. I really want to know what happened to my package and I want my money back since promised service is not completed without any valid reason.

Horrible! Since last week, I've been waiting for a package that was only supposed to take 2 days via FedEx. The super dumb diver didn't have the sense to ring the door buzzer.

Since they can't do a fourth delivery attempt, I have to pick it up from a facility of theirs. The most annoying part is the FedEx customer service up until today kept lying to me that someone would come a fourth time or later in the afternoon. I won't ever trust FedEx with something of importance ever again. I wanted the name of the driver to complain but was told by customer service, they "didn't know.” Stupid protects stupid I see! I still don't have my package which I need by Saturday and now I have to trek to the "nearest" FedEx pick up facility which is nowhere near me, to pick it up. I hope to never have anything sent to me by FedEx again.

I delivered a book that was bought on Amazon by FedEx. The recipient claimed that the package was never received. FedEx claimed that they left the package on the person's front porch. So now, I have to give a refund of around $100, plus it cost $15 to deliver. I now have a claim against me by the recipient who wants a full refund and FedEx will not even give me a refund on the shipping.

FedEx’ delivery person had failed to deliver. He called because he could not find the address. He wanted me to come to him so he could follow me home. I tried to come to him, and he did not give me the right location where he was. I looked for him and called him on my cell phone. He told me that I was too late and he was going home. He won't be there tomorrow. The shipment was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but he was not there. Hopefully FedEx will send somebody, especially someone who knows how to speak the language. He asked me to put a big sign on my door so he can find it. I did put the sign, still.
He was not able to deliver. I recommend FedEx to train their people better and fire this man. All he did was pass the buck. He was rude, abrasive, lazy, and incompetent.
The location is ** Segerstrom, Santa Ana, CA 92704

FedEx lost a package that was very important to me - it was a gift for my fiance. The retail price of the item I bought was $499, and I had some coupons and I got the item for $150 from the merchant. FedEx lost track of my package. They show a departure scan, but do not have an arrival scan. I have tried calling them several times, but they have no answer for me except, "We are trying to locate it".
The real issue is that even though merchant is refunding my original amount ($150), the coupons I used have expired, and the merchant no longer honors them. I don't blame him for that. It is because of FedEx that I did not get my item at a price that I wanted it for. I highly suspect one of their employees stole the package, and didn't scan it on arrival.

I had an item that was damaged, and FedEx simply denied the claim without inspection or further inquiry of any sort. The $80 brass lamp base arrived damaged. The box was well-packed and marked. Clearly, the box was crushed, corner to corner.
I filed a claim and got a "tracking number." The shipper faxed the airbill information. Then, there was nothing. I sent my inquiry to customer service and got a canned response and nothing more. I repeated the inquiry, but got the same canned response. Then, I got a simple denial letter. I followed up on the denial letter, but again, I only got a canned response and nothing more. Are they kidding?
It's time to start a movement. Every time I shop from a Web merchant that only ships via FedEx, I use their "contact page" to ask if they can arrange for UPS/USPS shipping. Otherwise, I simply won't be a customer of theirs, either. I do keep shopping after I inquire, and I might find another source before you get back to me. So if you're on the sell side reading this and ship exclusive via FedEx, it might be good to consider the buy side of the business - before I reach your Web store.

This is ridiculous and unacceptable. I waited an entire day at home for my new cell phone from Verizon that was due to be delivered by 3:00 pm. I waited in my kitchen window which overlooks the street where the FedEx truck has to pull up. The last 25-20 minutes I waited, I was in a secondary front window with the screen open and hanging out the window chatting with one of my neighbors. When it got to 2:55 pm I decided to call FedEx. I was told that the driver had tried to deliver it 5 minutes earlier and couldn't get the security buzzer to my building to work. Well, that was impossible because the door that she would have had to go to was about 10 feet below where I was hanging out my window and the FedEx truck did not even go past my building.
I tried for an hour and 15 minutes to get them to go back to the management office where they left it and bring it to me that the driver was full of ** if she was saying she came. Finally I'm told by a FedEx rep that when I called at 2:55 pm, I should have just gone down to the management office and get the phone and she could not understand why I was so upset. That I shouldn't be that upset. This is not the first time the FedEx driver dropped off everyone's packages at the management office because they didn't feel like dealing with the complex we live in. How dare this woman tell me I shouldn't be this upset. All she kept repeating was that the driver tried to come and the buzzer wouldn't work. She didn't care to hear that that was impossible because I was hanging out one of my windows and couldn't even get to the front door without me, my neighbor, my fiance, my 22-year-old daughter, and her friend seeing. After waiting the entire day and now I have to go to my management office tomorrow to pick it up because now the office is closed.
I am so angry I could spit nails or breathe fire. Oh yeah, and the last thing the woman said before I finally had had enough of her was that she noted my name and address and that no more packages would go to the management office and asked if that would that satisfy me. ** no, that didn't satisfy me. Her not calling me a liar and saying she can't believe I was getting this upset over this, and that I shouldn't be this upset and the driver actually coming to my home and delivering my package to me would have satisfied me.

My bank sent out a three-day express package on Oct. 3, 2011 and I have been tracking it through 1-800-GoFedex because I do not have the tracking details.
On the 7th (the 4th day), I still had no package but the FedEx truck passed my house so I immediately called the 1800GoFedEx who called the hub and they called the driver to let her know she just passed our address. The driver turned around and we saw her speeding by again so we called FedEx once again and told them she just passed us again and I was told that she put it in the computer that no one was home. The excuse I was given was that this is a new driver and she did not know the area.
I called FedEx once again and told them that this package was time-sensitive and I needed it immediately. I asked to schedule a pickup from the hub when my package got back and I was denied. I then call FedEx and got a hold of Christine **. This executive vice president "assured me" I would get my package Saturday before 9 a.m. or someone would lose his or her job and that she would personally see to it. Therefore, with her being with the executive committee, I agreed to wait one more day then I could have my time-sensitive material.
Saturday came, nothing. Monday (day 8) came, still nothing. I called Christine once again and she told me the priority delivery person that she selected lost his job but she would get the other priority delivery person to get it out to me.
I called repeatedly and each time she told me the delivery guy was still in Memphis but I would get my package by 9 p.m. Again, like a fool, I waited thinking that she was on this and she gave me her word. I went to bed at 10 p.m. and the delivery person still did not show up. At 10 p.m., I called 1800GoFedex once more and asked the representative if I could schedule a pickup at the hub Tuesday morning and she put it in the computer that I was picking my package up.
Tuesday, day 9 . I called to see which hub my package was returned to so I could go pick it up and was told it is again out for delivery.
I have had enough. I then called Christine again and she said she did not see the memo in the computer and my package was out for delivery with the priority delivery person. This people are so incompetent! Sick of this, I called David J. Bronczek, FedEx Express President and Chief Executive Officer.
I explained to him (Bronczek) everything I went through up to this point. I was offered a compensation package and I explained to him the only package I wanted was the one with my name on it that still has not been delivered. He asked if I wanted to file a missing package claim and I told him it is not missing; he and Christine know exactly which driver has it and where it is. (I may have been hateful and a little rude, but come on). He made it clear that I was being rude but he told me my package would be here today!
Guess what? No delivery attempt but even better than that, at 10 p.m., which is the delivery cut off time, I called 1800gofedex and as I told the representative that I needed to track my package and gave them the address, they told me that there is no package for this address anywhere, not out for delivery, not delivered, not failed delivery...nothing! I explained to the rep that there was no way I could be tracking my three-day package for eight days now and it just disappeared. I told him that the CEO David J. Bronczek and the Executive VP, Christine have been addressing this and the representative hung up on me. I called back and explained again to a representative who tried to help me but this address will not show up in the FedEx database.

I am an online merchant. I know for a fact that unless I am using media mail or shipping to Hawaii or Alaska, the normal delivery for the USPS is 5 days max for parcel post, sometimes much quicker.

Margarita at Google was beyond helpful, and after dealing with a Google Ninja troubleshooting the errors for a week, Margarita sent a replacement laptop via FedEx the next day.
The laptop was delivered while I was at work. However, instead of leaving a notice for me to pick up item or attempt a 2nd delivery, the driver left the item with a neighbor that I do not know resulting in a lost package. The neighbors deny having the laptop so I filed a complaint with FedEx and notified the shipper, Margarita.
FedEx did an investigation and was unable to locate the package. They advised the shipper (Google) to ship another unit and fill out a complaint form to be reimbursed. Google Places does not have another Chromebook to send me and as such I am out of laptop that I spent a lot of time doing work to eventually win.
FedEx puts the blame on the shipper for not requiring a signature and Google is unable to replace an item they have already replaced once. This is truly a big let down and nobody is taking responsibility.

I later asked for an offer for 25kg and I was informed that even if my shipment actually weighed less than 30kg, I would still be charged the full 30kg. The offer was then reduced to 1000 NIS. I asked how I would need to present my suitcase and backpack to FedEx when they came to get my things, if I needed a box or anything, and they said that it would be placed into a box by them. They said my shipment would be delivered within a few days of pick-up.

I shipped a framed print from my deceased parent's estate in Wisconsin to my home in Philadelphia. It was packaged at FedEx store. I had no clue of the value and just gave a rough estimate. When it arrived in Philly, the outside of the package looked impeccable, but when I opened the package, the glass over the picture was broken in 3 large chards of glass. The picture and the frame looked intact, so I did not take the picture out of the plastic that was taped over the internal packaging. I called FedEx to report the damage. I was told to fill out a claim form (which was faxed to me) and that someone would come to inspect the package. I was given a case number which, incidentally, no one ever asked me for on future phone calls. They gave me a damage tracking number.
When the driver arrived, I thought he would actually inspect the package to determine that the glass was broken. In addition, I had a question about the claim form. He was totally disinterested in my question and began to take the package (which was not taped shut). I asked him if we could call someone to verify the procedure and I was told, "Listen buddy, I have to get going." Flustered, I erroneously shoved the claim form into the box as he left. He said he would tape up the box in the truck. At this point, I got a sinking feeling in my stomach that my picture would never be the same.
I immediately called customer service to verify that he was supposed to take the package. I expressed that the driver seemed clueless and was rather rude. I was assured that the package would be inspected and returned. I assumed that it would have to be returned to the local office not shipped all the way to Chicago!
When the package finally arrived back to Philadelphia, it was just dropped off on the porch with a doorbell ring. There was no signature service required on the original shipment, but this was a package that was supposed to be inspected! When I got to the porch, the outer box looked tattered. It was not taped shut. As I pulled the frame out, the plastic was shredded and torn, and all the glass was missing. The poster image was irreparably scratched, the matting was coming off, and the frame was severely chipped in several places. It was apparent that the frame was never unwrapped for any inspection. It was not necessary to ship this package to Chicago to inspect it. In fact, it was never necessary to take it off the premises of our home to inspect it! All that was originally necessary was a new piece of glass. Instead, the picture is completely ruined.
This has been a painful and frustrating experience. I trusted in the reputation of FedEx and my previous positive experiences, but that trust is literally shattered. If I had assumed it was dangerous to trust FedEx, I would still have my picture. In hindsight, I should have cut my losses with the broken glass and given FedEx a complete pass. Then I would have just paid for the glass and had my memories.
While I was initially distraught and emotionally overtaken over the initial damage, the person on the phone was giving me the run around about sending in receipts for a package that was in my parent's home for several years. In the emotion of the moment, I stated that I don't care about the money because the memory has been destroyed. I said that I do not want to be charged for the shipping. At that point, she had her "legal technicality" and said, "If that's what you want." I said something to the fact, "Yeah, you are legally covered now. That's great." When I calmed down, I got in touch with the Cincinnati Customer Advocate who said those words would not be held against me. She put a notation on the case.
I have since learned that merely the framing is more than $100 of what I estimated for the total value, and the print is not available online. I would have to go to the Vatican Museums store where it was originally purchased (if they still sell it). Who knows what the print costs?
I sent in the claim but have only been given a check for the original shipping cost. The saga continues.
[I still have the damaged goods and packaging. They have not moved since I opened them.]

I am still waiting for a package shipped from China via FedEx containing 600 stainless steel rings. FedEx confiscated my package saying that I need to obtain a permit to receive 'Mother of Pearl' from the Fish & Wildlife Department? There is no 'Mother of Pearl' in the package!
I spoke with employee #1. She told me that the package would need to be inspected. I said fine then open it, look and see that there is no mother of pearl, but only stainless steel. She said they would do that and release the package for delivery. The next day I received another call from employee #2, telling me that I need to obtain a permit from the Fish & Wildlife Department for Mother of Pearl. Apparently employee #1 did nothing, now employee #2 is telling me the same thing. Later that day, I called to see if the package had been released. Again, I was told the same thing. Next, I spoke with employee #3, the International Customs Advocate in PHX. He told me to email him an invoice stating what was in the package. As I am the receiver, I had to get the invoice from the company in China, shipping me the package, which I did and emailed it to all 3 employees.
Now, as of day 4 in this process, no matter who I talk with, no matter how many times I say that there is no Mother of Pearl, no matter how many times I tell them to open it, nothing has been done. My package still sits somewhere at FedEx. I spoke with someone at Fish & Wildlife and they have never seen the package, but according to FedEX employees #1, 2 and 3, it has already been inspected once by Fish & Wildlife and will have to be inspected again.
I just got off of the phone with the FedEx International Department again, only to be told that employees #1, 2 and 3 do not work for them and that they do not have a Customs Department! I hung up and called again, now, apparently employee #1 does work there but is not in the office, I left her a voice mail. I called again, finally Employee #1 tells me that there is nothing she can do for me and hangs up.
That is the level of customer service provided by FedEx. I have no one else to call and I have emailed only to get a response that I need to call the number I have been contacting! Unfortunately, I have been going in circles with these people. They still insist that I need a Fish & Wildlife permit for a box of stainless steel (maybe they could tell me what animal stainless steel comes from), and I have not received my shipment for which I have already paid. My package is in FedEx limbo.

We have been harassed to pay a bill that we did not order. We purchased equipment from a manufacturer out of Wisconsin. They ship to us freight-free when you buy a certain dollar amount. They use several different trucking companies. We were not aware of a delivery coming, we are a small business to business company and do not stay in office all the time. FedEx tried to deliver without calling to make sure someone was here. I know if I was going to see a customer 50+ miles away, I would call to make sure they were there.
Keeping in mind, we did not even know which trucking was carrying our freight. They then started to mail me bills for a redelivery charge. I do not owe this money, I or the company, never hired Fedex to deliver. There are no signed bill of lading or purchase order from myself or the company. Last week, we had a guarantee 2-day delivery from Wisconsin to Meridian, MS to arrive at the job site on Wednesday. The truck went to Memphis instead, could we bill FedEx the extra day that we were on the job site with no signed agreement?

Our package was put on the FedEx ground delivery truck on a Saturday for delivery today, Monday. I haven't heard the excuse for non-delivery yet. It is either: 1) the package was damaged and it had to go back to the depot; 2) the roads were too bad to travel (they can't use this excuse because the weather has been okay); 3) they delivered to the wrong address; 4) they couldn't find the address; or 5) the package was "delivered" but we couldn't find it anyplace.
If the weather was bad, we remind them just to follow the UPS truck. UPS seems to find us just fine. We have had the same problems and the same excuses both here in Joshua Tree, California and at the house in Cedar City, Utah. FedEx's ground service is horrible. Maybe in the city everyone is happy, but not for the package that was "delivered to the front door" in Henderson, Nevada and was never found. I don't know if the ground people can't pay enough to keep drivers. It seems like every driver is different and they can't find us. Has FedEx ground ever heard of GPS units for their trucks?

I've dealt with FedEx before and have had problems; nothing as bad as this. You attempted to deliver a package on 8/25. Since no one is supposed to work and they need to wait all day at home for you guys to come whenever they want to, they left a note indicating that they would try to deliver again before they sent it back. Since I actually work for a living, I called your number and got a scatter brain in Arizona and tried to relay to her that I wanted to have you hold this package tomorrow in Herndon so I could pick it up. I was skeptical that she understood, but she indicated she did do this.
When I showed up during work to pick it up, it wasn't there. It was on the truck. I asked the person there to call and see if they could deliver after 4, when I would be home. They said they would but they never did. I checked it online and it indicated that they would deliver by 7, they did not. I sent an email and got a response from "Amir", of course, who indicated that it was back at Herndon.
I called this morning and asked if it was there and they indicated it was. I then showed up, asked for the package and after a half hour, they told me it was lost and to file a claim. I just called the claim number and your representative told me it wasn't lost; it was at the facility. I told him this is ridiculous since I just made another trip in the ** rain to pick it up but apparently his x-ray vision found what your representative could not. He called them and now they say it is there.
I have never seen such across-the-board incompetence and lack of interest at any level, anywhere. I will never use FedEx again and neither will anyone else I know. In the meantime, I expect this package to be delivered to my door on Monday without signature as I continue to work for a living and can't spend another three days chasing it down. Ridiculous. Shameful. I expect a response.

The FedEx driver tried to deliver the other package to our neighbor who was not home, so a note was left on their door. Both packages had the same address and both had the same last name. We later found out that the package to Linda ** had a forged name on the delivery ticket. The FedEx driver wrote that he delivered the package to "the receptionist" and secured her signature.
Our home is in a residential area, no businesses are in our neighborhood. The second package stayed on the truck and went back to the distribution center. When I spoke to Tina **, customer advocate Cincinnati office, she said there was no way to track down our package and no way we could secure this package this day; we would have to wait until tomorrow. Even though I explained the urgency of the package and that the delivery problem was not anything we had anything to do with, Tina still said there was no way we could get the package today.
We offered to go to the distribution center, to were the truck was, anything. But she was very uncooperative, saying that we would just have to wait until tomorrow. We have set up to pick up the package tomorrow. We are very, very unhappy with the service we have had from FedEx. One package that required a signature and included medication was left in a United States mailbox and my signature was forged on the receipt. The other package was attempted to be delivered to a different residence when the address was clearly marked on the package and on the houses. I believe some action should be taken against this driver. He put a FedEx package in a US post office mailbox, forged a signature on the delivery form, then a package with the same address was delivered or attempted to another house. I addressed all these complaints with Tina ** but received no satisfaction. All she said was "sorry".

I am reaching this organization in the hope that someone can help me resolve the absurd issue that the FedEx office in Campinas, Brazil created for me as a customer.
On July 20 my mother shipped a package from Curitiba, Brazil to Miami, it was a hand made porcelain picture for me. I started tracking the package and in the first three days the package got stuck at customs in Brazil. No one contacted me. I called the US FedEx office in Campinas, Brazil and they told me that my mother should have filled a form that states that the merchandise has no commercial value, which they should have instructed her to do at the point of dispatch. It took 5 days of communicating with someone with an email address of davi.bueno.osv@fedex.com who had absolutely no training to attend to customers and did not explain how to decipher any of the terms in the form.
I logged a formal complaint which didn't produce any results. Finally I sent the form and I received an email from Davi saying “ok, received.”
Assuming that all was okay, I called the next day and the person from customer service could not say where the package was. After 20 minutes on the phone and being charged of international call rates, they told me that the item was still stuck at customs and all was broken so they do not know what to do. I told them to send it to me anyway.
My mother had been calling the store from where she sent the gift. She also went there and the person whom she was talking to was extremely rude and demonstrated absolutely no interest in resolving the problem.
At this stage, I have spent a fortune in international calls, the item which have a personal value was broken, and FedEx cannot even send it back to my mother or to me here in the US. That's still not including the stress that my mother and I had been through because of the complete disregard of FedEx employees. This experience with FedEx had been the worst customer experience of my life. It had been a torture, an episode of black horror.
Can anyone help me understand how I can be reimbursed for the cost of shipping, all the useless phone calls and the stress that we've been through?

The office staff that I spoke with on the day of May 29th, 2011 stated that no FedEx packages were delivered that morning.
The store that I placed the order to was Play-Asia.com, which is based in Hong Kong. I had ordered from them a few times before and their shipping delivery address was always correct and had been delivered to me prior to the package that this complaint is about. The package has not been received as of June 24th, 2011. FedEx, whom I called several times on the matter, told me to contact my shipper. They also told me that they could do nothing more for me. I paid via debit card: $169.00 for the PlayStation 2, $39.90 for the converter and $69.40 for the shipping.

Complain to FedEx. My air way bill number: **. Late arrival (1 day). On June 7 we paid cash in China in RMB 848 (about US D133) form bill. On this schedule arrival in Poland is no later than June 13. We contacted China FedEx office by phone; they just answered us that it’s the wrong address (recipient postcode in 64-232). I was sure on air way has recipient’s telephone number. They can contact, why not contract to calling first? So that made my gift arrived late. FedEx used 8 days for delivery. We would like to get the money back in RMB 848 (about USD 133.00).

I have ordered a laptop and some shampoos from the USA because they are not yet introduced in the UAE. Fortunately, after two weeks of wait we got the product and my brother who studies in the US shipped them to me via FedEx. He has been always shipping items to me via FedEx, but this is the worst incident of them all. They hand over my parcel to the first random person they found that had a matching name; since they haven't found any contact information. The person who took the parcel was a crook and refused to return back the items to me.
I have waited for one week for FedEx to finally get back to me and tell me they will refund the original declared price only, no emotional compensation; knowing that this incident caused me a lot of tension that I had to stay at home for one day to forget it. Moreover, the representative office people talk to you and make you feel they did you a favor!! They did 2 big mistakes : 1) Didn't confirm the correct name of the customer since the second name was different. 2) They didn't confirm the airway bill number which is a disaster. I don't know how else to deal with them because I am over frustrated at this stage. I have been depressed and tensed since then.

Our office is located in Midtown Manhattan. We have been using FedEx when we send packages for years. Lately, FedEx keep billing me $15 for Saturday pick-up, but our packages were picked-up on Fridays. From January 21 to April 8, we already had sixteen packages billed wrongly. I had to dispute this $15 every time I receive an invoice. Even though I got my $15 back, it still bothers me that I have to do it again and again-- every week.

I called FedEx to arrange for a return to sender (Hayneedle) pickup. Hayneedle had provided the return labels. When the FedEx driver arrived (late at night during a snowstorm) she told me I could not use those labels but must fill out a form for the proper ones, which I did. She did not mention why I needed the change nor the amount I would be charged. When I received my credit card I was shocked to find a charge of $653.46 by FedEx for the return of two benches worth around $300.00.
I contacted Hayneedle and customer care responded by saying they had paid for that customer return shipment on their account and couldn't understand why they were charging me also. After talking to a representative at FedEx, the representative asked me to fax to them the FedEx charge on my credit card, which I did two times without any response from FedEx. I tried three times to contact the FedEx billing department without any success in having them return the payment I never anticipated and was already paid by Hayneedle.

I had shipped my item to Nigeria in early December. Suddenly, in the middle of January, my item had been found lost by FedEx at the warehouse. After two weeks of argument with FedEx representatives, they had agreed to give me some invoice to cover my lost. In the phone conversation, the representative agreed to pay me RM 1,000 of the lost (my lost was RM 1,500) and also the shipment cost (RM 140.70). FedEx also had promised me to deliver the check before 9 of February 2011, yet they failed to do that. I just received the check on February 18, 2011.
I got so frustrated when I saw that the total amount was only RM 1,000, not as promised. So I called Mr. ** and he said, "That already includes everything." I told him that as a first-time customer, I am so frustrated because I lost all my trust to a global company like FedEx. They have led people to wrongly believe in their brand's promise or mission. I don't believe that FedEx really cares about customer care and I don't think that their staff hold the integrity and trust that we, customers, need from them.
This is the first and the last time that I will send a shipment using your company. With this bad experience, I will surely tell all my friends and relatives to avoid using FedEx because we cannot believe in your promises anymore.

I ordered computer parts to get 2 different medical clinics back up and running. The shipment went out on Thursday as expected and was to be a Friday morning delivery. At noon on Friday, I called FedEx as I had not received the shipment. I was told it had just arrived at DFW and that it would be delivered that afternoon. At 5:00 pm Friday, I called again and asked when the truck would be by to deliver the package. There had been FedEx trucks making deliveries all day here in Irving. So, I see no reason an overnight package would not also be delivered. There was bad weather so I understand a delay of maybe a few hours, as I still had to support all my clients. It just took me longer to get there than I had wanted.
I was told that on Friday night no one had unloaded the package, and that they would have it unloaded first thing on Saturday morning. Now, I just assume that when you are behind, you still will try and catch up. And being an overnight delivery, I expected it to be delivered on Saturday. The 800 number said they would have the Irving office call as soon as the package was unloaded and on its way. I called again at noon on Saturday to ask where the package was. I was told it would be delivered on Monday. I explained that was not acceptable and that was not next day service. I asked if I could drive directly to the FedEx distribution to pick it up. The agent put me on hold and called to verify I could. I was told they would have it at the counter when I arrived. I drove to the FedEx but they did not have the package ready.
I called back the 800 number to find out how to get a refund since they did not deliver the package as agreed. I was told I had to call 800-622-1147 to get claims resolved. I called as I was told. They told me that all I needed to do was contact the supplier and have them call this number, and they would credit their account since the package was not delivered. At that point, there were no notations on the shipment status. And as I have stated, FedEx was delivering packages all day Friday in Irving. Now, when I pulled up that shipment status, it showed delayed due to weather. So, FedEx claims they are not responsible for the delay.
The supplier called. I was told there would be no refund as the shipment was delayed due to weather. That is not what the billing department told me and agreed to do. In fact, I was told today by the billing department that the shipment was flagged as delayed since Thursday. Again, it was just another lie from FedEx staff. They had the package in Dallas on Friday. They were delivering packages on Friday. And the shipment was not flagged as delayed due to weather until Sunday when I tracked it again just to see what their system was doing. I was told by the billing supervisor that FedEx is not required to put notices of weather delays on the package tracking pages.
Thursday to Monday is not overnight delivery. My information was on the package and I should have been notified at the first delay. The fact is I still have never received a call from any FedEx person to notify me of the delay or to tell me they had the package unloaded or that it was being delivered. A delay would have been to deliver the package Friday afternoon instead of Friday morning. 4 days for a shipment is not overnight shipping. They were operating and delivering packages in the days in question. The airport is only a few hundred yards from the distribution facility and they did have the container. So, the only acceptable delay is with the plane that was 4-5 hours behind. The tracking number is **. This is unacceptable performance for an overnight delivery. This is unacceptable support from any company.

We called other numbers, trying to get a person with whom we could speak to make arrangements for an alternate delivery. Four days later, we still have been unable to make contact with a live human being, other than the switchboard which passes whispers down the lane messages to the people we must speak with.
Ironically, at the mall yesterday, I stopped a FedEx driver. Though we had been told FedEx drivers are not accessible by phone, he was able to make contact with the driver for our route. The driver did not have the package on the truck again! As the depot which is keeping the package is located in another state, we are giving up on trying to get our package and are forced to cancel the order.

The package was sent on January 18 and it was scheduled to arrive on January 21 from DC to NY for a cost of $20.00. However, on January 21, they advised on their tracking webpage that attempted delivery cannot be performed due to weather. The area was not impassable; it was a mild snow system that had passed and was over in early morning hours. Nevertheless, several calls were made to FedEx operators to assist in procuring the package. The only advice option per FedEx is to physically pick the package up from the FedEx facility, provided that the I.D. address is identical to the physical address, according to FedEx.
We do not receive mails from where we live. We receive them at our town's post office box. According to FedEx, they will not release, even to the actual recipient, if the address on the package is not the same as the physical address--even with a picture. They advise that I must bring the deed to my home which has the actual physical address. The deed is in a safety deposit box and inaccessible. So now, I will have to wait until Monday, January 24, to receive the long-awaited package.
Today is Monday and I still do not have the package. When I checked their website, I found out that they are holding it at the facility because they said that I would pick them up. Yes, I would have done so, but they told me that my I.D. was not acceptable. I called today to advise what transpired and FedEx customer service hung up on the call. I had to re-dial and speak to another customer service to ask them to deliver it tomorrow. This is a prime example of the level of service FedEx has. I will never use them again and I advise everyone to do the same.

FedEx allows you to insure items that are shipped ground for as much as you want. And they charge you for the extra insurance coverage. I shipped a package and insured it for $500. The item arrived damaged. And when I filed a claim, FedEx denied it. When I called to ask why the claim was denied, they told me that they do not insure the type of item that I shipped. Nowhere was I notified that the item would not be insured if it was damaged when I purchased the extra insurance. When you purchase extra insurance on an item that you ship through FedEx, you need to be told up front that even though you purchase the insurance, they will not honor the claim.

I have been using FedEx for all my business shipping for 15 years. I manufacture and ship high quality home audio speaker all over the country. Over the entire 15 years of using FedEx, every time they damage any of my products, they have consistently denied the claim and used the excuse that I packaged it wrong. Every speaker I ship is well packed in boxes with rubber foam caps and styrofoam panels surrounding the complete speaker. The cause of the damage is always related to either the delivery person or the hub terminal dropping the boxes from a critical height or having something dropped on them and smashing the box.
Whatever the damage, it is always easy to determine that FedEx miss-handled the boxes and caused the obvious damage. I've written complaints over the Internet in the past and received hundreds of emails from customers all over the country who are experiencing the same problem of FedEx refusing to compensate for the damage they caused!
The main problem is simple; the company that is shipping the packages is also the one charging for the supposed insurance (Declared Value) and also the one who decides whether to cover the claim or not - a clear conflict of interest. The fact is, they are not insuring the packages, thus, they call it "Declared Value". You declare the value of the merchandise and they decide whether they think it is worth it and if they should cover the claim. They know customers are helpless if their items are damaged and most can't afford to take them to court.
Their Claims department is totally corrupt, and my conversations with them have proven it over and over. The last two speakers they damaged were clearly because of their fault and even the local ground manager tried to get them to compensate me but with no success. One of the speakers was indisputably damaged by them, but when it came to compensating me, they only sent $220 for a $1,600 loss. They used a technical excuse that I did not have a Declared Value on the shipping order. I did fill out a complete shipping order with a $1,600 declared value, but the local terminal manager made a mistake when the speaker mistakenly came back to my business rather than to the appointed customer, so he (the manager) instructed me (through the FedEx driver) to install a new tracking number on the box and assured me that I wouldn't be charged for redirecting the box with a new tracking number on it.
Because of that new tracking number installed on the box without a new shipping order filled out, FedEx Claims department used the latter number and said that it didn't have a Declared Value assigned to it. When I explained to them that the local ground terminal manager had requested the new number be installed, they didn't care and were not going to cover the damage under any circumstances. The local manager also called and told them he was responsible for the mistake and wanted them (Claims) to bill the damage to his terminal, and they still would not compensate for the damage.
This is the same kind of stories people from all over the country are complaining about. I estimate FedEx makes millions of extra dollars by charging customers for what they think is insurance, and they seldom compensate when the damage occurs. I'm sure they don't treat their big account customers this way, but the little guy doesn't have any recourse except to take them to court and most I have spoken with can't afford the time or money! I refused to use UPS at the beginning of my business because I heard they operate the same way and I had friends who advised me not to deal with them either.
I have hoped and tried to find a large law firm that would represent the thousands of customers that have been taken by FedEx, but none seem to want to take on this corrupt giant.

He walked up to the door to see the 7 employees locking the doors, turning off the lights and leaving.

When I finally reached a supervisor (Mike), he said there was nothing they could do. Although tomorrow, they could deliver until 7PM, they were not willing to come back at 5PM and deliver to me today, and his reason was because the driver was already back.

I have to pay the consequences. I guess because I'm a little person in the world. I guess my business doesn't mean anything to them. Oh well, they just lost me and my family and friends.
I have been on the phone with AT&T all week trying to find out where my package is and they can only tell me it's been sitting at the FedEx facility in Aurora, Illinois since last week. They said someone tried to deliver the package but couldn't find my home, so they brought it back to the Aurora facility and there it sits. I was on the phone with AT&T and FEDEX to make a complaint, but they said the button to send the complaint won't work for them. So I was transferred to Connie the manager of Kevin, who I spoke to originally at FedEx, and he blamed the rookie for the package never getting to me. So basically the rookie is the fall out guy for FEDEX. This is such an inconvenience and nobody cares. Shame on FEDEX for putting me thru this garbage. Very unhappy with FEDEX.

As usual, FedEx tried to deliver my package but instead of actually knocking on the door or ringing the door bell, they just left a note saying they had been there. Last time, they just put my package in a mud puddle and I found it by accident when I was going for a walk.

Date of delivery according to FedEx was for 12/02/10, but I was not home because I work. I called and requested to have my package delivered the next day after 2:00 p.m. Customer Service Representative told me that it was not a problem and the package would be delivered after 2:00 p.m. I took half day off work to wait for delivery. However, I got home at 1:50 p.m. A second attempt to deliver had already been made. I called Customer Service and I spoke to Supervisor George but apparently FedEx cannot work with you on a time frame for delivery because the driver's receive a route and must stay on that route. So why did Customer Service take my request for delivery after 2:00 p.m.?
Why wasn't I told this when I called to request the time of delivery. Supervisor George said the driver was too far away already and could not come back. I live in Downey and he was in Paramount. Paramount is a neighboring city, so I even offered to meet driver since according to them he was already too far away. Supervisor George took my phone number so that the driver can call me back and tell me where to meet for me to receive the package I paid them to deliver to me at my home. Nobody ever called me back. My package will not be delivered unless I wait for FedEx all day, but I cannot afford to take any more time off work. I have already paid for the product, yet I have not received it and sender has no control over lazy FedEx.

Thursday, 12/02, 05:37 PM (Toll Free 800-463-3339 DT 11), I contacted FedEx to notify them I had not received my package although the FedEx website showed status as delivered. FedEx informed me the package had been delivered to ** at 12:15 pm. I informed them that that was not my address. They confirmed my address to be ** and told me the driver has delivered the package to the wrong address. Note: My correct address was on the package. The representative also assured me the driver was still out on his route and would be contacted immediately to go retrieve the package and deliver it to me that same night. I was placed on hold while the representative made a couple of calls. He came back and once again assured me my package would be delivered that same night. The representative took my phone number so they could call me with an update. No returned call.
Thirty minutes later, 06:04 PM (Toll Free 800-624-9897 DT 16), I contacted Dell to inform them of the issue with the delivery. Now 2 hours since the earlier call to FedEx, I called back to get an update. Once again I was put on hold while the representative told me she was contacting the terminal or branch to get an update. Once again, I was assured the driver was still out on deliveries and had been notified to pick up the package that same night. I was told I would receive a call in a few minutes. Again, no return calls.
Friday morning, I contacted FedEx as soon as I got to work. I went through the same series of questions and then put on hold so representative could check. I was told the package would be picked up that morning and they would have the Branch Manager call me back. At 08:49 AM, I got an incoming call from 800-463-3339 DT 3. Wow, I received a call from the Branch Manager, I don't recall the name, a woman. She assured me the package was being picked up in the morning and more or less promised it would be delivered ASAP. I did tell her I would not be home till mid afternoon. She said she would let the driver know and would try to make sure the package was delivered after 3 PM. She had been in contact with the driver and everyone was aware of the issue. She said it would be resolved today! As with the past conversations with FedEx representatives, I thought something was actually being done to resolve the issue. Boy, I could never have been so wrong! Oh, and she more or less laughed at me when I told what I had been told the night before about the driver was going to retrieve the package and get it to me. She said the driver had been off for hours by the time I called?
After waiting patiently for my package to be delivered, I once again called FedEx. This time I was told the package had been retrieved and the driver was still out making deliveries, be patient, I would receive my package shortly! A representative named Robert, once again, took my phone number and assured he would call if anything changed. No phone call, no package! I didn't dare leave my house because I had been told the driver would be here and I didn't want to miss his delivery. I once again called FedEx, was put on hold several times, then passed over to Sharon **, CAT Representative in Atlanta, GA? She asked for all the same information as the numerous other representatives and gave the same line of **! At 05:49 PM, Sharon called me back to let me know Robert would be calling me within the next 15 minutes to update me and if he did not call me back to call back and ask for her specifically (which I did later, but her office was closed), Oh, and Robert never called!
No one ever called! And now it gets even better! When I called Sharon back to let her know after 2 hours I had not heard from Robert or anyone else, I was transferred to yet another CAT representative from some other state, I don't recall her name. After being on the phone with her for quite some time, she informed me my package had been retrieved and was now in the Irving Distribution facility. Are we getting somewhere now? I asked if I could pick it up Saturday morning, she put me on hold to check. The CAT representative came back on the line and connected me with the Branch Manager of the Irving location, I don't remember his name either as I was getting very fed up with FedEx!
Anyway, the Irving Branch manager told me he had just gotten off the phone with the delivery driver, who made the mistake in the first place, and the driver did not know anything about a package being delivered to the wrong address! This was the first the Branch Manager had heard of this also. How is this possible? So the Branch Manager assured me the driver was going to pick the package up first thing Saturday morning and he would try to get the package delivered to me on Saturday, but could not promise, but I would get a phone call once the package had been retrieved.
Saturday evening, 12/04 05:24 PM, once again, no contact from anyone at FedEx! So I called yet again. Maria, the representative was pretty much useless. I filed a complaint with Maria, complaint no. **. The package has still not been retrieved! My question is I want to hear the so-called recorded conversations FedEx claims to keep. There are too many Customer Service Representatives, CAT representatives, Branch Managers that do not know what is going on and/or just flat out do not care! I can understand one, maybe two representatives not following through, but for as many FedEx representatives at so many different levels to all be so uncaring is unacceptable.

I paid $26 to have a document envelope overnight delivered from Charleston SC on the 23rd of November at 12:00 noon to Asheville, NC to arrive before noon on the 24th. This was time-sensitive material that required further processing before the close of work on the 24th. The document was not delivered until 3:15 on the 24th. I requested a refund and was told that because of severe weather, they would not honor their so-called “money-back-if-not-delivered” policy. The severe weather was to have happened in Memphis, TN on the 23rd. Checking weather for Memphis on that day showed rain but no severe weather report.
I was told by the local agent the delay was due to heavy overload of holiday shipping. Is that considered an "act of God"? Their claim of insured delivery or refund is simply fraud as they just say something beyond their control happen and so they are not responsible. How many other people have been taken by this scam and false advertising? They still refuse to issue any refund for shipping cost. The full extent of damage is not yet known.

There is a FedEx truck that is frequently parked along our street just inside our entrance. I have twice witnessed cars narrowly avoiding accidents as they moved to the middle of the road to go around the truck and forced on-coming cars into the opposite shoulder of the road. The truck parks there from early afternoon to early evening several days a week for the past 2-3 months. A while back I called FedEx to request that they not park there and they said that they had no record of the truck when I provided the license plate number.
Last month, after witnessing the 2nd of the near misses and generally becoming concerned about the proximity of the truck to the school and the fact that the truck usually appeared vacant, I called the Loudoun County Sheriffs dept and they sent a deputy out to talk to the driver and ask him not to park for long periods of time in our neighborhood. That didn't stop the driver from parking there however and when he was there for the better part of the afternoon today I called the Loudoun Cty Sheriff's office again. They asked me to get the license plate number and said they would send another deputy out.
On my way back from getting the license plate number, I pulled over on the side of the road in front of my house to talk to a neighbor. The driver, apparently annoyed that we had written down his number, started the truck and swung it around and accelerated very fast down Crimson our street. He came intentionally very close to where I was stopped in the and my neighbor was standing and, when he got past us, slammed on his brakes, almost causing a car that was driving behind him to rear-end him.
The driver then threw the truck into reverse and backed into our driveway and sped back up the street toward us. As he passed, we motioned to him to slow down and watch for my neighbor's children who were on their bicycles (there were other children were playing in driveways as well) and he leaned from the truck and made a rude gesture toward us. I found the driver's behavior very disturbing if not frightening and made yet another call to the Sheriff's department.
The Sheriff's dept has been very helpful but said that since there are not any "no parking" signs along that part of the street that they can't issue a parking citation, but said they will continue to send a deputy out to talk to him anytime they get a call from us. They are also uneasy about the strange behavior and the proximity to the school across the road, not to mention the erratic behavior in our neighborhood today. They suggested that we also continue to report the driver to FedEx, and you can do that by calling 1-800-Go-Fedex and asking to speak to a customer service agent. The license plate for the truck is HA xx-xxx. Just wanted to alert people to this incident. Up until today, I was really just annoyed that there seems to always be a FedEx truck parked at our entrance and I was a bit concerned that he was going to cause an accident. After his behavior today, I think this person needs to stay out of our neighborhood.

It is useless to file complaints with supervisors or managers as they work together robbing their customers those who pay their wages. Do not use FedEx for your shipping.

The second problem is the statement that shows the package was then delivered to that same address at the very same time that I was picking it up at the station, approximately 50 miles away. There were three different calls to FedEx placed from the time I was notified of the failure to deliver my medications, to the time of delivery at the station. The last call informed me that they were calling the station to have them meet me outside (they closed to the public at 6:45). If their records show that the package was delivered to my door, then those records are falsified, and they will not be able to place a driver in my hometown at that time of day.

Between the months of February and March of 2010, I was subdued by the FedEx/Kinko's of the Commonwealth of Virginia, City of Lynchburg in the United States of America. As cannulated and drained as I am, I want the drainage to be stopped, be reported to the recovery and reinvestment, and all the defrauders by authority abuse be brought to justice. FTC has clear and complete report of the incidence and MO told me to have an attorney ASAP.
My ordered and printed business cards were confiscated. My promised refund of $29.95 was defrauded and the price that I had paid for my first order is still in the invoice but my business cards hidden somewhere else. The drainage involved a highly perpetrated honeymoon between professionally well-trained Commonwealth of Virginia resident thieves, fear mongers and their overseas defrauders/gangsters. Civil liberty at this time has so very become rotten and very very dirty smelling with too much maggots that are indiscriminately finishing my remaining and disintegrated being.

I had an important shipment to be sent via FedEx on the 8th August, 2010. After organizing everything, I was assured it had been sent, and was advised to wait 2 days for tracking to show up on their site. Sure enough, after two days it was still not available. After chasing it for a further 2 days (does anyone in customer service actually care anymore? )I was told that it had 'just' been shipped. Not happy, but otherwise glad it was on it's way, I expected to receive the package in a further 2 days. My package did not arrive in 2 days, and seemed to take a rather obscure trip around the Asian continent.
My package has supposedly arrived today, and I have been told that it's my responsibility to come and pick it up from 'one' of their offices. Upon ringing customer service, I was told, disinterestedly, that they didn't know where my package was, and that I would have to call back later to speak to someone who knows where it is-presumably, that is. I'm disgusted with FedEx, as this has been my second bad experience (both similar), and I don't expect to pay good money to have a company decide 'when' to post my goods, and 'where' to send them. This is the last time I will ever use, or recommend, this company.

You can always tell the quality of service you receive from a business by the effort of their lowest paid employee. In this case, maybe not the lowest but the average paid delivery driver. These are the people that have been given the task of finding & delivering customer goods; like any job it has it's good and bad days. However, they are the only employee that gets to see the customers' reaction when they deliver what seems like a gift one might receive on a holiday or birthday. Normally it's a reaction filled with joy & happiness, that a complete stranger shows up to give you something you've been waiting for, like a kid that can't sleep the night before Christmas Morning.
Let's focus on the importance of the basics for a second, like knocking on the door. It would seem that something so simple would be included in the remarkable effort made by so many to transport packages from the millions of shops & stores around the world to the people who ordered them in a timely manner. Now knocking on the door or ringing a door bell might seem pointless if it seems no one is home to accept the package. However, in this case not only was there someone home, they were in clear view of the door that the driver left the "Sorry We Missed you" tag.
Let's assume the driver tried ringing a doorbell that didn't work and maybe even tried a short knock that went unheard. Does the driver's delivery responsibility end there? It was very clear that people were home and active (vs. asleep) and the package could be delivered. No, not in this case, It seemed to be a lot easier for the driver to leave a door tag and go on his merry way.
People who don't care about what they do show others they don't care thru their actions. This is a point in fact by the lack of effort by the driver to gain attention of a member of the household.. (UPS must train their delivery drivers better, because they show more effort.)
The door tag said "Sorry We Missed You", Fedex didn't miss me. I was there. In fact, I took a personal day from work to make sure I was there. The guy completely ignored the fact that I was home and decided I could wait on him again!
Fedex works for the people that choose their services, so as a employer of Fedex, I've decided to change to someone who takes more pride in the service. My area has had nothing good to say about Fedex due to the door tag issues and how their agents fail horribly at delivering packages as good as 3rd rate choices like USPS. This is mainly because I can drive to the local Post Office and pick it up myself. Hunker, Pa isn't even close to local (Like why bother delivering to an area if you don't have the infrastructure to support the customer's needs?).
It must be greed, biting off more work than you can handle in a timely & professional manner. It's really easy fix to such a no brainer. Train Fedex delivery drivers to treat these rural home deliveries with the importance of a Federal Agent. Train them to use their eyes, ears, and every ability they have to safely and legally deliver their packages and not to just leave a door tag unless it is absolutely the last option left. If this is how Fedex is already training their drivers, then they employ at least one that doesn't take his or her position seriously enough to represent their service's commitment to Fedex customers.

FedEx continues to leave deliveries at my front door rather than taking them around back (they can drive around, they don't have to walk) and leaving them on a covered patio out of the weather. Instead they leave them where they can be rained on or stolen. In the 5 years, I've lived here UPS has always delivered in the back. There is a sign in front and my address on the packages even say "deliver to back patio only." The FedEx drivers are either too stupid to read or just don't give a damn about service. Even their call center supposedly takes complaints over the phone but you never hear anything back. This company is one of the worst run in the country.

It contained my key with the electronic door opener for my vehicle, the only set I have. She called FedEx and was told that they delivered the package at 9:30 A.M.

My daughter continued to call to try and locate the package and then was told it was left by the mailbox, which is a half mile to a mile away! Left on a street well traveled at a group of about 6 (six) mailboxes at the end of my driveway. My driveway is a dirt road that the driver didn't want to drive on. We drive in and out of it each day.
The next day I walked to where the driver said he left the package. It was cloudy and raining and I slipped and fell and was not able to get up for a while. My driveway is a private drive with no other houses on it. I am 66 (sixty six) years old and a portion of my heart enlarged, also with other health problems. Not able to go that distance to get a package FedEx so carelessly left unattended. I will never use FedEx! It is not a company you can count on or trust to do the job they get paid to do. I was without keys to the only vehicle I had at my residence. I was stranded!

While traveling southbound on Illinois Tollway 294 (9:00 pm, 7/30/10), a FedEx ground truck tried to run me off the road. The truck was following me so closely that I could not see the front grill of the truck or the headlights. I tried to speed up to get away from him, but even at 70 mph, he stayed so close on my tail that I was sure he was touching my bumper! The lanes on either side of me were wide open, but he refused to go around me. As soon as I was able to speed up enough to get away from him and change lanes, he pulled up next to me swerving in and out of my lane and then flipped me off and was apparently yelling at me inside his truck. He then proceeded to do the same thing to several other drivers.
His license plate no was (IN) **, truck no. **, cab no. **. I called the police but never saw anyone stop him. I called FedEx and reported him and the operator told me that they don't take complaints about drivers. I went to their website and they don't take complaints either! Although we escaped injury we came very close to a very serious accident. The driver was obviously impaired and had no regard for the safety of those around him. No package is worth the life of another human being.

When My wife brought the accordion in for packaging, they put it in the bottom of the largest box they had then filled it with paper for a total cost of $90 and change! What they did was to inflate the cost by irresponsibly packaging into a container that would cost more money based on size. The issue I have with this is that their website specifically states that they would customize their packaging for odd shaped packages. It is Fed Ex package ****.
I called the main office to complain, they sent me directly to the store. I contacted them by phone and followed up with a 9 page document fully explaining the issue and photos of their packaging. Chandra said they would respond immediately. I followed up by email several times over the next three weeks but they never responded.

I agreed and gave them my work address. After typing all of that into the ticket, the rep paused and then simply said that my address wouldn't work since my name wasn't the one on the package.

I asked why I had spent 45 minutes on the phone the day before if it wasn't possible. I was then placed on hold. When the guy finally came back, he apologized that I was misinformed and said they'd stick to their word and re-route the package to my husband.

A package was reported to have been delivered, but it was not. As luck would have it, at the time of the alleged delivery, I was at home. I tracked the package later that day, wondering it's status.

As a result, I had to stay home from work to constantly track and wait. I am supposed to trust that the driver, who did not leave a package, and who subsequently changed the delivery story, will in fact leave a package while at the same time, FedEx says that it can not trust that without a signature, on packages that don't require a signature, that I will acknowledge receipt.

Today, 5/5/10 at 10:55 am, he delivered more boxes to laundry can sign instead he told HSK to call me. Now he wants me to work.
I got there in time to see him shove a pile of boxes in the doorway and go get another pile. I told him to put them inside, he shoved a little and said it won’t fit. I called HSK Lila to help me rearrange 1 box, and he told her no, let her work, my office was left unattended for a delivery driver, not the first time rude. If he’s not happy with his job, don’t bring it on us. If a man here, he would have jumped. I’m sure I’m not the first to complain. We feel our delivery charges should be waived. It was paid in kindness and not received same way. Smile, it goes a long way, Front Desk Manager.

My wife ordered a kidkraft kitchen set for my daughter's birthday. It was supposed to be delivered today. I keep tracking it online the whole day, then when I checked this afternoon. It said incorrect address recipient moved! I was disappointed because I've been waiting all day! No one knocked on our door! I tried calling their 1800 number but they said they gonna give me a call until this time 5:45pm their office in Fairfield is almost closed. The manager called us and said call their office back around 6-630 pm today because she can't get a hold of the driver and its like the driver is avoiding her call. How they gonna expect me to do the call when she's the manager that supposed to do all this BS. We keep trying to say to our daughter to wait for her present because of what happened to the package! We expect this to happen already because when we were in Hawaii we ordered an iPod touch from Apple and the driver didn't even make an attempt or an effort to knock on our gate. He left a tag on our gate 3x saying he missed us! We ended up picking the iPod ourselves! I would never want to do business with FedEx again!

I ordered from Biotin on 21 April and paid for two day shipping. My package has still not been delivered. The FedEx driver has the private code to enter my community and dare I say they had my phone number. They entered into their computer that my name was not on the security board on 26 April then on 27th. No call was attempted and my box was in the Oahu storage facility. I called for 4 hours straight and the 1800 rep refuses to let me speak to the Oahu facility. They said they will try to deliver my box again tomorrow, on the 28th, days after my scheduled delivery date. I asked for a refund of the $37.99 and Pam said that they can't, that Biotone needs to refund the fee. Why? They did their job!
I still have no package, still have no phone call from the Oahu facility manager. I am upset. This happens all the time in Hawaii. The service is terrible. The customer service is terrible.

Don't use FedEx--very poor service. If you are out when FedEx try to deliver a parcel, don't feel confident that you will know about it. I live in a block of flats with a security exterior door - very common for central London. If the delivery person cannot get to your postbox, they will try two very unreliable methods to leave you the card:
b) Push it under the number plate of your flat, outside the building at the mercy of anyone walking past the flat, or the wind (!).
You parcel will then be returned to the sender as you don't know it has arrived. Oh, they'll also crush items and damage them. Rubbish service. I am really angry. Crushed Nespresso capsules that won't fit into the machine!

In February, I purchased a Ramsa mixer off eBay. It was shipped in a heavy duty case with foam packaging on all sides, and marked topside and fragile. Pictures were taken prior to handing it over to FedEx showing now damage. When it arrived, two corners were shattered and the steel arm rest bent. It had obviously been dropped on edge from many feet in the air.
It took FedEx a month to get an inspector to look at it. They denied the claim. I appealed and it was sent "upstairs". Only after I contacted the BBB did I find out from the BBB that "upstairs" had again denied the claim. FedEx will not release the damage report and will not give any information out on who has denied the claim. Lesson learned. Don't use FedEx.

It is the fault of the man who has shipped it. The product is missing in Paris and when it will be found and re-sent me is unknown. It makes me crazy. Please give me exact information. I understand you but you do not want to understand me. Please, please, please. I had it up to here. It is approximately 7 days I have been running around calling the office, writing messages but I do not receive any information without being told not to worry. I am under the pressure because I had promised someone this product. I do not know how much you understand me. Please tell me am if I am going to receive my product till 15 April or not? I have already lost my confidence in your responsibility. I am looking forward to your reply.

I called FedEx after missing their second attempted delivery to schedule a pick up time last Friday. Knowing that now they would deliver on Saturday, I changed my mind quickly and the customer representative felt annoyed yet lied to me that she cancelled the pick up and would get the last attempt of delivery the day after. Alright, the package did not deliver on Saturday and I thought they did not really make any delivery on Saturday so I waited over the weekend patiently. Not until the coming Monday (today), I tracked my package online and the package is on hold at a local office! How dishonest of their customer representative.
I had to call once again and another representative said that I had called to cancel the last delivery service and would pick up by myself. I asked her to check the complete record then. Though she found out it was their mistake, she kind of said that I had cancelled the order at first so what has happened is I deserved. I was so disappointed at how they bent the truth.
From my past experiences, if I ever decided to pick up the package by yourself, I got to leave a phone number for them to call back regarding the available pick up time. Now, the package has been scheduled for pick-up with me not knowing about anything it. I remembered that last Friday I asked the customer representative five times to make sure that she put back my package to a normal scheduled delivery status and she guaranteed that it was back to normal.
FedEx is an epic fail. This package is sent via ground service and had taken over six days to make the first attempt of delivery. UPS would have made the first one on the third if not the fourth day. If I got to choose, I will not send anything via FedEx; I will simply go to UPS because of their credibility and reputation that FedEx does not have. I am hoping that I won't have to call FedEx tomorrow.

I was sent a package by a mortgage company, via FedEx delivery, which was never properly delivered and is lost. I have contacted both the mortgage company, who sent the package and FedEx, both of whom accept no responsibility for the lack of proper delivery of the package. This is a very important package and must be recovered immediately.
The contents of the package was a certified check which must be returned to the bank of origin. The bank representative has told me that to place a stop payment on the check will take 90 days, which will cause great financial hardship.

Yesterday, we were to receive a package and were tracking it when it showed delivered and on our front porch. We went to get it but there was no package. We started looking in the neighborhood and found it at house number 400; ours is 404. We still have not received a response from our complaint. About a month ago, we were getting a convection oven delivered by FedEx and it was on the truck to be delivered again. We were tracking the package, it rode on the truck all day and then was returned to the FedEx facility at the end of the day, to be delivered the next day. There was no satisfactory response from that complaint either.

I had a package scheduled for delivery to me on 4/3/2010. I double-checked in the morning and it did say the package was out on delivery at 6:59 am. So I waited at home for the whole day for the package. I put all other things off just to wait for the package. I didn't leave my home for even a minute. Then in the afternoon around 5pm, I checked online again, it said 4:41 PM, "Customer not available or business closed". I was at home for the whole day. Plus, that package didn't require signature at all!
I called FedEx right away and when I finally spoke to a real person, I was told that the station was closed and they couldn't do anything and had no explanation. They could only try to get it re-delivered on Tuesday, 4/6/2010, which is three days later and they still cannot guarantee the delivery. Didn't we pay to get the package delivered? What I got is "maybe","we'll try" and "we cannot guarantee". I wasted my whole day to wait for the package which I need in a hurry and they just couldn't deliver it and made up excuses which are not true at all. What a terrible service!

I put an important bid for our company in the drop box near our office. I had arranged online for priority overnight delivery because the bid would be rejected if it did not arrive on time. The drop box shows that pickup is at 6:00pm and on that day it showed that it had not been picked up yet. The time was 5:15pm. The next day I started to track online and noticed no movement of the package.
After a lot of phone research, I learned that due to inclement weather, the drivers were told to pick up the drop boxes early. The driver who serviced this box never changed the pickup notice. If he had, I would have known to take my package to the shipping center.

I purchased a replacement bulb on eBay for my television on March 20, 2010. It should have arrived on March 25, 2010. I checked the tracking number and it was in Dupont on the 25th, on the evening of the 26th I called and they said that it had been delivered on my door step, I said that it had not, they said that they would contact the driver and that it should be resolved in 12 to 24 hrs.
I called on the 27th and they informed my that the terminal is closed on weekends, called on the Monday the 29th and they said that they still had not talked to the driver but will and he is given 24 to 48 hours to find where he delivered it. I called on Tuesday evening around 5:15 pm, and was told that Brian M. goes home at 5:00, called, again on the 31th, Wednesday and they would not let me talk to Brian but told me to contact the seller and have them submit a claim.
I do not understand, my house is not hard to find, they have been here before, high school kids at pizza places find it okay, why can't FedEx? Where did he deliver it? I would be more than happy to go there, I asked all my neighbors, tried to figure out how he could screw it up, no luck. They started out somewhat kind but later just go rude, blew me off, the item cost $130.00 and I do not believe the eBay seller is going to go through the red tape to get his money out of FedEx, they seem totally unorganized and not professional.
I still do not have the part to fix my television, I do not have another $130.00. It has been 2 weeks now, it was supposed to be here in time for my son's birthday party with about a half dozen teenage boys wanting to play video games all night, but no TV because FedEx delivered my package to the wrong address or kept it for themselves. The driver never went looking for it.

FedEx driver of Mass. registration H63-522 raced through my neighborhood at approximately 11:20AM this morning. His speed was approximately 40 mph and he didn't even try to stop for the stop sign. The speed limit was 25 mph and his destination was the elementary school at the end of my street. Vision was poor and the weather was nasty. Your driver said he didn't see the stop sign so I wonder why he didn't slow down. By the way, just past my house the speed limit slows to twenty mph in a school zone and he must have known he was entering a school. I have an 8-year old boy who doesn't pay attention to vehicles. That's the reason the limits are slower there. Are your packages more important than my son's life? Does the company care more than the driver I confronted this morning?

They said the address on my package was incorrect. I confirmed with the company that sent my package and it was correct. When we called FedEx, we found out that the guy didn't know where he was going and so just took it back! Aren't the drivers supposed to know where they are going, be able to read a map, or use a GPS? So my package was delayed by 3 more days and all we got was that they were sorry, this was all they could do. Next time, I will not use FedEx, since you pay them for services they are unwilling to provide. Paid extra money for a quick delivery that did not happen.

I ordered a large package which I could not purchase locally because I have no way of hauling it. I took the day off of work today to ensure that I do not miss delivery. I heard a vehicle coming up the road, looked out the window and watched the delivery driver drove up my road, turned around in the circle and drove right past me, no stopping.
I called customer service concerned that this may have been the driver with my package. The agent said not to worry, it should arrive shortly. I checked the tracking online multiple times and ended up seeing the driver said I was not home. So I called back. The customer service agent was polite and did everything she could. She ended up transferring me to the local office where I spoke with another woman who said she knows the driver and he is not that kind of a person. So I guess that makes me a liar. Apparently, the driver called in saying that he stopped and has a door tag number and cannot come back. A door tag number says nothing about the driver's activity, only that he scanned a piece of paper. So, basically, I paid FedEx to deliver a package to me, I lost an entire day's pay, approximately $150, (and wasted hours watching for him) and ended up just being frustrated and upset.

On January 4th, a package was shipped via FedEx to Cape Coral, Florida. According to FedEx website, it was delivered on the 5th. However, people at the address were saying it was never received. We have been back and forth with FedEx on this since January 7th. Finally, today in a conversation, it came out that the package was actually delivered to SW 57th Street as opposed to SW 51st Street. When the driver in Florida was contacted, he blatantly said it was irretrievable at this point. I can't imagine that no one would take the time to go back and check. FedEx is taking no responsibility for the misdelievered package. They are saying it looks like 57st Street. Now, who writes 57st Street as opposed to 57th Street. I keep telling them it is 51st Street and get nowhere.

On March 2, 2010 I received an automated message from FedEx Express at 8:02 PST.
