    I have spoken with several different people who claimed they would get back at me with an updated regarding my claim. I never did. Until I got an Email from the shipper (Adidas) stating that FedEx had just denied the Claim. The package original arrival date was supposed to be Friday 12/22/17. They pushed it back Saturday 12/23/17. On Saturday Morning Around 7-8 I went on online to request for the package to be held at a nearby FedEx onsite Walgreens but the driver never did so. Instead left the package on the front door after the FedEx system had Approved my request and also allowed me to select the Address at 2011 N Riverside Ave Rialto, CA.

    So now after almost 60 Days and 100 calls they still can't help me out. I have a screenshot that has the address I gave FedEx (but I wasn't able to attach it here) and after all this customer service are still trying to give me wrong info. Honestly I expected something better from a big corporations like FedEx. (IF WE GUYS READY WISH TO HELP ME OUT) I will glad to sent you the Tracking #. But please stop lying to me.

    If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I've had issues with FedEx for a couple of years. It started off with them not knowing the difference between a "2" & a "3" (apt #s are clearly on the apt door) & delivering my packages to my neighbor. I'd get them back from my neighbor, but that's not the point. More recently, on 1/25/18, they claim to have delivered a package to me & I never got it. I contacted them shortly after the time it was alleged to have been delivered & they had someone call me back. That person told me they'd look into it & call me back in a few days.

    It never happened so I called back on the evening of 2/5 to be told I should have been contacted & told to contact the sender for them to file a claim, requesting a full refund. I knew I had a package from a different sender en route for 2/6 delivery & expressed my concern about receiving this package, which contains my prescription medication. The guy apologized for the inconvenience several times (typical customer service canned apology) & told me that package was indeed en route.

    Well, it turns out my concerns were legit. On 2/6, there was a delivery exception because FedEx claims I wasn't home. I was home & neither my apartment building buzzer or door bell were rang & a delivery tag wasn't left. Once again, I called FedEx & got the usual canned apology for the inconvenience & the promise of a returned phone call. I haven't received a call back, as of yet, and don't expect to, but they'll continue to hear from me & I'll continue to leave reviews until these issues stop & are resolved. I'm not sure where they're supposedly going, but it's not my apt, or even my apt building. If I could avoid FedEx forever, I would. Never had any issues with their competitors...

    I was due to receive a small piece of furniture delivery today. I stayed home from Work to receive this delivery. The FedEx Truck shows up at my house just before 2 pm, I'm watching him through the window, he never gets out of his truck, drives away and shortly afterwards I receive an email that delivery was attempted but no one home to receive. Pure laziness!!! I call the 1800 # and they read me the crap the driver wrote. I explain to the rep that no attempts were made if the driver never got out of the truck, all I get from the rep is we can try again tomorrow. Well I'm at work tomorrow. I am so f** angry.

    After reading other reviews I'm surprised FedEx is still operating. I was due to receive an important package today (Mon) by 4:30 p.m. I had called FedEx customer service Fri. to request delivery instructions to leave my package at my leasing office because we have had packages stolen from our doorstep in the past. The woman on the phone seemed very uninterested in her job and rushed me off the phone before I could verify that the request was put through.

    I took today off from work because I had a feeling they would deliver to my door regardless of delivery instructions. At close to 3:00 I called my leasing office just to see if my package had been dropped off because I know that sometimes the system's notifications/updates take a while to update. No package at the office. A few minutes later I got an email update stating that delivery had failed because either I wasn't home, or the office was closed, and coincidentally that update had posted around the same time that I called my leasing office.

    I was upset that the driver had lied because 1) I was home all day and nobody knocked, and 2) my leasing office is open until 5:30. I called customer service back to find out why exactly my delivery was not made and was told the entry gate was locked and the driver did not realize the office was outside of the gate. Another lie because the office is very hard to miss. Even more frustrated, I tried calling corporate to put in a complaint and wouldn't you know their corporate office does not handle complaints - they redirect you back to customer service where their agents speak broken English (I'm not knocking anybody, I'm the child of a foreign immigrant whose first language was not English. However, when working in customer relations it is imperative to speak the language fluently as to avoid miscommunication). Very frustrated all the way around. Would not deal with FedEx again if given the choice.

    I had waited the 12 boxes packages at home for the entire week. They separated in four delivery date. We can’t see any updated info from the computer after the first delivery. We called in to their customer service and they keep saying that will be delivered tomorrow. This is the sixth day from the first delivery and still missing one package.

    We had a overnight Saturday delivery for a project that needed to be completed that Saturday. I literally watched the FedEx truck pull into the parking lot and a minute later pull back out. And the driver NEVER even got off the seat of his van, he reported the package was undeliverable because he could not locate the address...the GIANT address over the front doors must have eluded him. I call FedEx and they give me the runaround and more BS about how the driver tried but couldn’t find the address. Again... I saw him the whole time. He never got off his seat and looked. FedEx...never again. #FedExSucks

    Ordered a package on Amazon which required a signature. FedEx attempted to deliver first day, wasn’t home. Left note could pick up at store by the airport after 4. After second day when driver attempted delivery at 2:00 went to store only to be told driver wouldn’t be back until after 7:00, said I could catch the driver sometime after 6:00 at location on East side of city. Went to store on other side of town to catch driver who had my package. He wasn’t there at 6:00 and clerk stated, "We can’t control the driver," and refused to call him because Store at airport didn’t send her my information.

    FedEx has a major problem with local deliveries. We have a delivery man that has chosen not to deliver our packages on 4 separate occasions in the last week. He says he has left 2 door tags at the residence because no one was home. That is a lie! My wife was home; furthermore, we have video surveillance cameras which cover our entire home, no door tags, no deliveryman. Additionally, why is a signature required to deliver dog food? This man is too lazy to deliver packages when it's after 5:00 pm. How dare he, he doesn't have the right to decide which packages get delivered and which ones that must wait until he's in the mood! On one occasion the supervisors were notified and he was sent back out to deliver the package he failed to deliver. When he arrived it was 5:15 and he told my wife he was already on his way home and he had not seen the packages at the back of the truck. Do your job or find other work!!!

    We have had constant problems with FedEx deliveries and all we receive are apologies and incident numbers with promises of phone calls and "we will look into it". And still our packages are delivered elsewhere and almost never on time when they do make it to the correct destination. We have received packages faster from USPS than FedEx 2-day. The UPS drivers have brought us our miss delivered FedEx packages that were left at some other "front desk" almost as many times as FedEx drivers have correctly delivered to us. We have tried every avenue with FedEx to resolve this problem that we know and still all we have are worthless incident #s. All this frustration is just the packages we do eventually receive, there have been several that have just disappeared, (left on gate) somewhere on the mountain.

    I ordered a $300 Balsam Hill Christmas Tree... I was not going to be home for the Saturday delivery, so FedEx gave me the option to select a pick up location and that was very convenient to me! But to be honest... it was not. I went to go pick it up after ten minutes of it saying it was delivered to the pick up location. Funny thing is they said FedEx did not even come yet. I ended up calling FedEx asking what the hell was going on. This was last Saturday and it is now Wednesday and they said they will call me after speaking to the driver and start an investigation. Today on Wednesday I called them since it had been 48 hours and they said the driver had not a clue where he even put it!!! Signed for by "MM". This is insane! They called me back and told me they are going to close the investigation and that I should call the shipper. Luckily Balsam Hill is such a great company and already told me that they were going to reimburse me fully!

    Screw you FedEx, I lost a really great deal and now the item is out of order! How can you trust drivers that have CLEARLY stolen my package! I am really upset and have never had this big of an issue where they pretty much just gave up. Good luck everyone, if I order from Balsam again I am going to be sure to use UPS. Best of luck.

    The FedEx driver stole my package. The package was rerouted to my job at a charge of $13.75, but they take it back to my apt and allowed a stranger to sign for it. I received a notice a package I was expecting Friday, Jan 26th required a signature so I had it rerouted to my job "Next Business Day." I found out late Monday they wouldn't deliver it until Tuesday between 8:10 am and 6:10 pm (I know!). I called multiple times looking for my package.

    The sender Wayfair even called FedEx who assured her it would be delivered to my job today Jan 30th. After 5 pm had passed I call to provide a phone # so they could reach me in the office and I would come down and sign for the package. That's when I found out it had been delivered at 5:02 pm and signed for by C**. I have NO idea who this person is.

    I confirmed with my apartment's Manager there are no tenants in this unit with C** initials. FedEx opened a "tracing" ticket but of course by the time I got home that dept was closed. Customer Service informed me they were waiting to hear back from the driver and they would reach out to me once they had. As far as I am concerned, giving my package to a stranger equates to culpability in the theft! This gift was a Wedding Shower gift for a coworker whose last day will be Friday. The office employees chose this gift and trusted me to order it and assure them it would be there Thursday, January 1st.

    I now have no gift and what the employees spent on it will have to come out of my pocket AND I have to try and find another gift comparable to the one stolen by FedEx. I want my headache reimbursed. FedEx owes me for their sheer incompetence and stupidity of the driver and total inefficient use of my time going back and forth with them all day. It makes me wonder if this was intentional. I have filed this complaint with the BBB and I am also filing a police report! You have ONE job!.

    DO NOT USE FEDEX!! I would give FedEx ZERO stars if I could. I have had 4 negative experiences with FedEx in less than 2 months but the latest is the most egregious!

    DO NOT USE FEDEX. After getting NO DELIVERY CONFIRMATION or status information WHATSOEVER today, I contacted FedEx mid afternoon for an update as to when they actually WOULD deliver our URGENT shipment. Foolishly, I thought FedEx would tell me it would be there later today. Instead, I was informed that our URGENT premium priced the FedEx envelope made it only as far as Memphis this morning where it is now stuck for (at least) another 24 hours! Going forward, I will be using ONLY USPS for priority envelopes and smaller packages and UPS for larger packages.

    I was promised 1 to 2 day delivery for urgent goods. My delivery date was four days ago. Each day, Federal Express sends an exception notice postponing delivery for another day. Now it claims my delivery will come next week because the driver couldn't complete his route; and the local FedEx warehouse is backlogged. My delivery will be at least a week overdue. A rep promised me someone would call me with more detailed information about my shipment, but nobody did. I might have to buy the goods again if I can't get that shipment.

    I scheduled a pick up for a residential house. I called customer service to see if I could get a timeline for when they would be here to pick up. I was told I could pick a window of whatever time I needed so I choose 3 to 6 p.m. The driver showed up before 11 AM. The doorbell rang and by the time I was able to get from my bedroom to the front door the driver was gone and a ticket was on my door. I was given under two minutes to get to the door. About 15 minutes later I received a call from FedEx asking if I would like them to return and I explained that I needed them to come back after 3 PM like what was agreed in my first call to customer service. They explained that there was no notations for them to come after three and they would not be returning until the next day.

    I called customer service and they told me that they would be unable to pick up my package until the next day. I explained how I was given a window from 3 to 6 PM from the first representative I spoke with. At first they seemed to deny that I spoke with anybody because there was no notations made. After I explained that there was some kind of mistake and insisted that I DID speak with somebody that promised me a window between 3 and 6 PM. Just because that person did not do their job correctly does not mean I should be punished. And I asked to speak with a manager or someone that could account for the first conversation that I DID have with one of their representatives. After a brief hold. I was then addressed by a manager. They said that if I was misled by a representative they would pull that call and reprimand that person but unfortunately they were not going to fulfill the agreed 3 to 6 PM.

    This is not the first time I have spoken with customer service at FedEx where they have left me with empty promises. Do not believe a word they tell you through customer service. There is little to none communication between customer service and the actual driver that comes to your house. It seems the only person in control of running this company is the drivers. These drivers understand the power that they hold and will do the bare minimum required of their position. This transaction took place all before 12:30 PM this was absolutely FedEx’s mistake. I explained that this was a time sensitive item. They still had over six hours to correct the situation and yet offered no resolution. I thought I was saving money using FedEx but this situation has cost me $400 in loss. Avoid FedEx if you can.

    I had huge problems with 3 out of the last 4 shipments! In 2 cases, tracking information led to a dead end, because they change the tracking number in transit. They try to lock you down to a time slot, but often don't bother to be on time, or even coming on that day! Always ask them to call before coming, because my work requires me to go out very often to show clients properties. They NEVER do! Just yesterday, the helpdesk promised me that delivery will be done between 3 & 6pm. Later was told the courier "had forgotten to take my package". Today, the same person told me they will try to deliver before noon. Of course nobody came. Wasted one full day of my life waiting like an idiot!

    And yes, in Singapore, they OUTSOURCE their primary function, which is to deliver parcels, to some useless no name company, whose couriers seem to be students, odd jobbers, part-timers, and the like, no uniform, no discipline, no sense of responsibility!

    My package was sent on a Monday for Tuesday morning delivery. When the recipient reported nothing by noon, I called GOFEDEX and was advised it would be delivered by 4:30. When it wasn't delivered then, I called and was told due to weather it would not be delivered until next business day. Next day, Wednesday, it was in Memphis. I was told the airport was unable to get flights in or out, which was false - only FedEx had significant problems and 80% of commercial airlines got their flights out.

    Then they admitted they couldn't even give an estimate of anytime soon that it could maybe be delivered. On Thursday, I was told it had left Memphis and arrived in Mobile early in the morning, where supposedly it goes to the local delivery station. Finally! 12:30 came, no delivery. I called. "Won't be until tomorrow, weather delays in Memphis." I pointed out the 'fake news" in that it was in Mobile.

    Story shifts to "backlog from weather delays in Memphis." I pointed out roads are perfectly clear, package in Mobile already...nothing. In the past two years we've had several late and mis-delivered issues besides this one. It is fair when there is bad weather - but how can it take an overnight package FOUR days, when the delay was for TWO (maybe, being generous) days? Since snail mail was getting to recipients with only a day delay, what gives? After using Fedex reliably for years, I think their service has definitely declined.

    I have repeatedly had my packages misdelivered and it is next to impossible to find out where they went and why they were delivered to the wrong place. 100% of the time, it is FEDEX delivery drivers who don't pay attention and deliver it to the wrong address. When you run a trace on a package, it takes 24-48 hours just to hear from the driver who made the mistake. By that time, the vendor could just ship it via another carrier, and FedEx can admit failure and return the package they lost, whenever they get around to finding it. I recognize that online stores don't always give you a choice of shipper, but, I recommend NOT using FedEx. If they lose your package, ask the original seller to ship again using a different carrier, it WILL be a more efficient use of time.

It was a reproduction from the Cuzco school of devotional art from the 18th century that was framed. I paid $47.03 to have it shipped FedEx ground to Denver. I said the painting was only worth $100 as I never expected FedEx to lose a box this big. The actual value was $500. The package was picked up by a driver on 12/18/17 at 12:31 PM. It was never seen again. I called FedEx on 12/21. They told me it was lost. I then emailed Fred Smith, the CEO of FedEx expressing my concern. I told him the actual value was $500. On 12/22 I drove to FedEx Ground warehouse in Santa Fe. I spent an hour there. The only scan they had on record was the pick up here in town. There was no record of it arriving at their hub in Denver. They believe the package was lost as well.

    When I came home I had a telephone message from Tanya ** with the executive offices of FedEx in Memphis. She told me she would try to find the package for me. She asked me to email her a photo of the painting which I did. I told her the actual value was $500 as well. On 12/26 I filed a claim with FedEx. The claim requested receipts. I faxed them the receipt for shipping the package to Denver. I couldn't provide them with receipts for framing and the purchase of the painting because I bought and framed the painting in 2000. Eventually I found the canceled check for the framing of the painting. I sent a copy of the check to Fred Smith.

    Tanya ** told me they couldn't reimburse for the $500 for the painting because I said the painting was only worth $100. She and their director of claims that they were only liable for $100. I have received a check for $100. Today they sent me a check for $11.74 which isn't the amount I paid for shipping. I asked their director of claims to send me a report of the investigation. He refuses to forward it to me.

    I can only come to the conclusion that my painting was stolen by the driver who picked it up on 12/18 as nothing else makes any sense. I have told FedEx that I consider this theft since they won't explain how this huge box disappeared. Under these circumstances I should be reimbursed $500 rather than $100. I can't believe they can't reimburse me the full amount for shipping when company netted nearly three billion dollars last year. I will NEVER ship with FedEx again! This is the worse customer service ever!!!

    I had a very very much important package sent through Fedex overnight delivery service in the morning on Jan 11, 2018 to make sure my package received on Friday Jan 12, 2018. To my big surprise, it turned out that my package was delayed for four days. This caused me irremediable loss. I will never use Fedex anymore and I don't recommend anyone to use Fedex when they have something urgent and look for a reliable service to deliver it on time. Fedex is definitely NOT a reliable shipping provider. DO NOT use Fedex if you have something urgent and important!

    Package was supposed to be delivered by 8pm today. At 9pm I check the online tracking to see if there was a weather related problem or a delay. Package states it is in transit from Tennessee so I figure probably a weather delay and I could call and get an updated estimate on arrive date and time to make sure someone is home to receive the package. I finally gave up and hung up the phone.

    HOW ARE YOU STILL IN BUSINESS. I understand delays. I understand things happen, but for the love of Pete you have a tracking number for a reason. It tells you things like the package hasn't left the last destination it was scanned. How does your system not have an algorithm to automatically change estimated arrival dates. Why have a customer service center if all they are able to do is read me the same information I can see with my own eyes. So irritating. I waste an entire day waiting for a package you knew would never leave your facility that day. How is it okay for your company to inconvenience people because your staff is either too lazy, or your system is so archaic that a new ETA can not be calculated. That is unacceptable.

    Two packages sent to me from overseas were held at a FedEx location at Houston, without either the sender or recipient requesting for this. Therefore they never attempted to deliver the package to my home address as I was expecting. Because I was NOT notified that the packages were held at Fedex, I did not come to pick them up. The packages were sent back to the recipient and now I have to pay AGAIN so that they can be delivered to me. This is outrageous since we DID NOT request the packages to be held at the Fedex facility and we were not notified that this was the case, even though they had my email and telephone number. On top of this customer service has been useless. I have called more than 10 times for somebody to be able to help me.

    I had a terrible experience with FedEx. I took to expedited delivery on Jan 10th and spent extra money for this, so that my package would be delivered on 12th Jan 10.30 AM. It is Jan 15th today, and still my package has not been delivered. When I tracked my package it said, that due to winter storm, it could not be delivered on time and that's it. No whereabouts of my package, which also has a huge check inside it. Obviously, I am anxious about it. I can understand that weather plays an important part in timely shipments, but FedEx did not send me any sort of notifications. When I called a customer representative and she did not have the least courtesy to apologize or even empathize with my situation. So damn rude. When I asked her to take down my email ID for notifications, she did not write down the correct spelling of my email address and was not even patient to repeat it again. Terribly upset with this kind of service. Shame!!!

    The customer service I have received while trying to send an international package through FedEx has been awful. This was my first package I have ever sent via FedEx. Basically, I was trying to send a little gag gift to my good friends in Canada full of little dollar store junk, some little funny things and some serious gifts. When I went to the FedEx location I was pleased to hear ground shipping from Ohio to Conn, Ontario was only $32 for two day shipping. The guy at the counter put in the system that the items were MISC and said that description would be fine. Lo and behold my package gets stopped before even leaving Ohio with a delivery exception stating there was not correct paperwork for it for customs.

    I then called customer service. I spoke with a woman who informed me that what the man in the store did was wrong because I needed to provide an itemized list of every item in the box with values and countries of origin. I said there was no possible way I could do that because I didn't have those receipts any longer so I became frustrated and had her make a note to ship it back to me so I could send it through the USPS which I have never had these problems with. She said that was fine but there would be a fee to have it shipped back and that I had to make a FedEx account. Whatever, I did it. I just wanted my damn package back. THEN later that same day a woman called me saying that it was no problem to have the package sent to Canada. I just needed to give a few examples of things that were in there so customs could get a feel for the kinds of things I was sending. Cool. I was glad someone went the extra mile to help me.

    She said she'd prevent it from being sent back to me. Well wouldn't you know, I checked the tracking the day it was supposed to finally be delivered. It was in the correct town just a bit away from the destination, when the next day it said it WAS BEING SENT BACK TO ME. So of course I called customer service yet again to have it resolved. The gentleman on the phone said it was already back in the US and there was nothing anyone could do for me and that I'd have to pay to have it shipped ALL OVER AGAIN. I checked the tracking again today and it still says it's going to Conn, Ontario by the 16th and I'm just 100% done with this BS. This was supposed to be delivered on the 9th of January. I'm all around disappointed in the lack of organization with this company.

    Waiting tonight for a large check to be delivered from my mutual fund to pay for home repairs. As is (unfortunately) usual, FedEx has let me down AGAIN. Still "in transit" at 9:15 tonight, whatever that even means. I can't even call Pacific Life to tell them to take the overnight delivery charge off until Monday. This is Friday night. Obviously I won't get the check in time to have in my bank account for next week to pay my contractor. FEDEX, THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!! The thing is, that this is not the first time that this has happened.

    They have delivered to the WRONG address (thank goodness our neighbors on the other street brought the package to us), have said they tried delivery. I was home the whole day(s) they didn't try to knock, if they even tried the doorbell. Bottom line is if you really, really need to have your package delivered on time (or at all!) go to UPS or even just the United States Mail. Both are SO much more reliable than FEDEX.

    On 11/30/17 I dropped off my Legacybox full of irreplaceable videos at the local post office. It had a Smartpost label, so I was to drop it off at the post office, and they were to transfer it to FedEx. I tracked the package a few days later. The USPS tracking information showed the package being transferred to FedEx, but when I tracked it on the FedEx site it did not show receiving the package.

    I called FedEx customer support, and they assured me the package was not lost. They said someone would contact me within 48 hours. Two days later I received a call from FedEx. They told me they were still looking for my package and asked what the contents were. After I told them the box contained irreplaceable videos I did not get another call from them. They were supposed to call me back with 48 hours, but did not. I gave them 4 days to call me, but I finally decided to call FedEx back.

    I called FedEx two other times as well hoping to speak to someone different who could help me. All three times I was told by the Smartpost division they did not have the package. I went to my local post office (in my small town), and they assured me they transferred the package to FedEx on 12/1/17. I believe that the post office did indeed transfer the package. Their website shows it being scanned as it left their facility. However, the person at the post office said when these packages are picked up by FedEx they are not scanned as they load them on the truck. Her assumption was that they are scanned as they are unloaded from the truck at their facility.

    A month and a half later the package is still lost. I emailed Legacybox as soon as I found out the package was missing. They have not been able to help. At first I received a few emails from them, but I'm no longer receiving emails from them. They also have not refunded my money. If this was an item that could be replaced I could handle it being lost. The fact that these items are irreplaceable leaves me heartbroken. I'm also shocked by the lack of response from FedEx.

Our house number is large and on the front of our house. I guess they cannot read.

    The last two times I was suppose to receive packages, FedEx tracking said been delivered, well wasn't to me, don't know where they delivered them to. One did finally show up and the other never did. Plus we have a driveway that goes beside house to a parking area and a sidewalk that leads to our main door, but the drivers always goes to an off door that they have to walk through grass and mud to get to, which also has a larger sign that says, "Use Other Door". But they just toss the packages on the stoup, no shelter from weather. FedEx drivers must not be able to read. There has never been a correct delivery to us from FedEx.

While tracking it all I had was the master tracking number, and tracked it to the local warehouse, on January 8, 2018.

Later that evening I was checking my email at about 4:30 pm and had a notice from FedEx that they delivered my package that day. I live in an apartment building, I went to my front door and discovered they had dropped the package at the bottom of a flight of stairs that I can't use because of a disability. Furthermore the driver never came to the door to let me know it was here.

    Several attempts to talk to customer service resulted in hangup calls, and rude people that lied to me. They claim the apartment number was not on the shipping label and they had also put my phone number in wrong. I'm now out $20 to have someone finish FedEx's delivery for me and customer service refuses to refund me the $20 I shelled out to have someone finish their work.

    On 12/08/2017, I shipped out a brand new white iCloud locked iPhone 8 plus 64GB in the original box along with a case and sim card to my friend in Upstate New York so he could bring it to my mom overseas for Xmas. I didn’t want to take the chance for the package being stolen so I chose to have it shipped to a FedEx location for my friend to pick up. The package was about 1.5lbs. I specifically asked the employee at FedEx store how to insure my iPhone inside because I can’t afford losing it especially because it is a holiday gift. Therefore, I ended up buying $800 insurance through FedEx as it is the price of my iPhone before tax and I didn’t remember the tax amount.

    Due to the snow storm, my friend wasn’t able to pick it up until 12/13/2017. He opened the package and the iPhone was gone. The back of the package which was sealed with Amazon tape was tampered and taped with clear tape. Someone opened it. Only the silicone case and sim card were in the package. My friend notified me right away and told the store employee in Upstate New York. I called FedEx immediately and filed a claim. The rep told me someone would call me within two hours to tell me what to do next. Nobody called. I called FedEx the next day. The rep told me someone would call me at the end of the day. Nobody called. I called FedEx the day after, they transferred me to the voicemail of an “agent” so I left a voicemail. Nobody contacted with me.

    The following Monday, I called FedEx again and was transferred to a supervisor. She listened to what I said and transferred me to the claim department. After being on hold for more than 20 minutes, they just hung up on me and took me to the phone survey. I called again and the rep then tried for 15 minutes and couldn’t transfer me to claim department again. I searched for the claim form through google and found a form and sent six emails of evidence I had along with the claim form. The documents include the pictures of tampered package, items left inside, full conversation with my friend and my mom, iPhone purchase confirmation, locked iCloud and marked lost information, conversation with Apple rep regarding locking and locating lost phone and etc.

    I don’t get what’s the point of filing over the phone then. Some of the documents (screenshots) were in Chinese which I stated in my email hoping as a big company, FedEx should have someone who is able to read it. About five days later, I received a letter saying FedEx couldn’t verify some of my documents and needed additional documents but didn’t say what couldn’t be verified and what I could do to help verify the documents. Two days after that I received the same exactly letter again. I gathered other information related to the phone and emailed it over. So far, no response. When a 1.5 lbs package arrived weighing less than 0.5lb, isn’t it obvious enough someone opened the package during the process? If FedEx wanted to treat the claim seriously, they could have communicated with me and maybe pull up the camera record at the FedEx store to catch the guy.

No luck in my circle so I continued up the street in my development to the next street over.

A man came to the door and I said, "Hi, did you happen to get a FedEx package delivered here last night?" Before the sentence was out of my mouth he was nodding and reaching for my package. Handing it to me I checked the address and sure enough, it was my missing package. He said he was going to send his daughter down to my house to drop it off for me that day. I thanked him grateful it was delivered to an honest family. Way to go FedEx. If not for me or my honest neighbors I probably wouldn't have gotten my $90 sneakers I ordered for work.

    This is what they do all of the time. They mark the packages as delivered when in fact, they don't really deliver the packages. Customer service does not care at all because, they make no effort in really finding what happened. My package was said to be delivered when it was not. I called customer service and I was told there would be an investigation, and I would receive a call once they get hold of the driver; I am still waiting.

    I guess, sadly, business is scrounging for every possible penny, so they cut corners in every way possible, and the total GARBAGE this company has become, is a clear indication of this in effect. I placed an order from X company (name is unimportant), which promised overnight shipping. I ordered after 4:00 p.m., so I understood they could not get the package out that day. The next day however, I received a message on my phone that I had a FedEx package. Not knowing it was a message about this package in particular, and thinking that FedEx was trying to deliver a package, I PHONED them to please "knock" because our doorbell had stopped working.

    It turned out, according to the FedEx lady I spoke to, to be only a notice "advising" that the package I had ordered the day before was shipped with them and giving me the tracking number. I thought: Great. I then told the lady to please add a notation to "knock", and that this was very important. The next day I get home at 5 and see a notice that they attempted delivery at 12. I asked my family if no one opened the door and they said no one had knocked. I called FedEx to see if they could attempt re-delivery and they said, "The driver had gone home at 3:00 p.m.", and the next delivery would not be until the following Monday (it was Friday).

    I asked why since the package sender clearly paid for OVERNIGHT delivery, and their "end-of-day' was clearly marked/denoted as 8:00 p.m. They said FedEx was only paid to make a delivery "attempt." I said, "Wait, wait" - so FEDEX (and let's just incorporate EVERY job on the planet, such as lawyers defending people, and doctors saving people, and restaurant chefs who cook) is/are NOT paid to actually deliver (or do their jobs), but to "ATTEMPT" to do their jobs. She then suggested I actually go pick up my package because it wasn't "too far away" from me. I said, "Sure, I'll go do half of what FedEx was paid to do."

While I'm glad they contacted me, it still means the business customers were important enough to receive deliveries that day, but consumers were not. It doesn't change my review. Other carriers are able to give both equal importance. If you're a business who sells to consumers, or a consumer, you might want to avoid this company until that policy changes.

    Original Review: Jan. 5, 2018

    1/2/17: Tracking number told Spectrum & my son his cable box would arrive on Wed., 1/3.Tracking said arrival for Thu. 1/4. Thu morning, FedEx tracking said out for delivery & phone agent said arrival that day, despite expected snow storm, changed after storm to delayed. 1/5 morning: Tracking said arrival by end of day. 2 hrs later, tracking said tomorrow. Phone agent said they weren't delivering today, while they were saying that, I saw FedEx delivering to business next door. Thanks for 2 parents and 2 children being stuck in house with no net/tv/etc. Obvious business comes first. A similar situation occurred with UPS, but Customer service made sure package arrived that day. Too bad FedEx doesn't realize all businesses have regular people as customers. If you have a business which deals with customers, I suggest you use someone who cares about customers, not just corporations.

    Got robbed in Spain, had my assistant ship me a 2nd phone to Valencia Spain... Asked for 2 day ship, & paid for it... Package, a used cell phone & charger cannot clear customs for 3 DAYS? That's what FedEx has? Then their website is not updated. You email people here and they take 2-3 hours to return emails. You call them and they ask you call back... What a JOKE. Next time use UPS, USPS, or DHL... Like Tom Hanks said in Castaway... Tick tock tick tock... Well you are worse than USPS to me... Thanks for nothing FedEx.

    I took off work to sign for a package that required a signature to be delivered. I got a text from the sender of the package that said a delivery attempt was made but no one was home to sign... I feel very satisfied that multiple people have had this same problem because all FIVE of the people I spoke with at FedEx tried to suggest that they didn't believe me and acted as if this were a circumstance they'd never heard of.

    The first time I called customer service, the man I talked to said the driver couldn't come back out because he can't make 2 delivery attempts in one day. I told him that was unacceptable as the driver hasn't even made 1 delivery attempt today. I was transferred to someone who was supposed to be a supervisor but she was even less professional than her subordinate. She acted as if my issue was an extreme inconvenience for her (let’s not forget, I took off work to sign for a package that was never delivered to my house). She told me she would call the center near me and try to get the package delivered today then hung up without confirming that the package would, indeed, be delivered today. So I called back to make sure my package would be delivered as scheduled.

    The 3rd person I talked to was very nice and very helpful. He did everything in his power but ultimately could not guarantee me that my package would be delivered by end of day. (Still claiming that the driver could not make the same attempt twice in one day... No one seemed to understand that NO ATTEMPTS HAVE HAPPENED YET TODAY! <--- this is the point that frustrates me the most. No one could acknowledge that him "coming back" was not him coming back as he hasn't even been to my freaking house yet... so there is absolutely no reason for me to not get my package as scheduled). So that's when I jumped on Twitter. I wrote a really long complaint and someone from FedEx responded (4th person). I gave them my contact information and that's when someone from FedEx (5th person) called me.

    I explained to him that not only has no one been out to my house today but no one left notices when they had come to my house on previous days. He acted very surprised by this (although when reading these reviews this does not seem to be an uncommon occurrence) and was very understanding of my frustration. He told me he would call the driver and make sure he delivered my package today. I was extremely satisfied with his response until he called back and started asking me questions that suggested he believed the driver had been by my house earlier and I hadn't been home. I was home. I even have a doorbell camera that records when people come to my door. The 1st 2 attempts were recorded. (although no notices were left so without that recording I would never have even known the 1st 2 attempts were made) There was no 3rd attempt. I was downstairs listening for the door. There was no knock or ring.

    At this point FedEx, you've completely lost my trust in you. And it sounds like this is a situation that has happened to multiple customers. So don't treat me like an anomaly. You guys clearly lack a system that holds drivers accountable for making deliveries when they're supposed to and properly notifying customers. Had my first interaction with customer service been "I'm so sorry, we'll get that taken care of today," I would have been happy, and the 4 other people I talked to would have had a much better day as well. Get it together purple and green. This is the worst customer service experience I've had in YEARS. Ultimately, after much unnecessary stress, I finally received my package. At this point, I just want you guys to acknowledge that this is an issue and work to fix it. This is a reflection of poor upper management and lack of care from company leaders. Your customers and your staff deserve better.

    The last time I will ever use FedEx! They lost a package with a document that I desperately needed. After checking everywhere and not finding the package the last check is to call the driver. However, the driver is on vacation and their policy does not allow any calls to drivers when they are on vacation. So the driver who was so anxious to go on vacation lost my package and now I am supposed to wait for 10 plus days before they will call him. This is absolutely unbelievable. This loss has caused irreparable damage to me. FedEx accepts ZERO responsibility and their concern is not to disturb the driver's vacation. They could care less about their customers. Time to use DHL or UPS. I warn anyone with a document they actually must receive NEVER use FedEx - if they lose your shipment you will not receive any help.

    I purchased a sterling silver ice cream serving set from an online auction in California. The packaging company only uses FedEx, and I had to pay a whopping $84 to have a 4 pound package shipped to me in Georgia. But I had no other choice, so I paid up. I'm really looking forward to receiving this, so I've been following its progress across the country using the tracking number. Yesterday morning, the updated tracking info showed my package's location as Kennesaw, GA, less than ten miles away from my workplace. Great, I thought, I'll have this by day's end. FedEx trucks zipped by all day, and still no package.

    Tracking info last night showed its current location, still, as Kennesaw. Same thing this morning. Feeling incredibly ticked off by this point - the delivery date reading FRIDAY, January 5 (today is the 3rd), I called (foreign) customer service. The CSR said, "It will be delivered Friday because that's when we promised it would be delivered by." But it's less than ten miles away, I responded, and the CSR said he'd get me to a supervisor who'd tell me the exact same thing. I then found a local number. This person was no more helpful, just said the package had "GPS'd" in the Kennesaw area but she didn't know where it was. She then graciously suggested that I pick it up myself. OK, before I start my 35 mile drive home, I'll fight traffic for an extra 20 miles to fetch a package that I paid $84 to have delivered? No. Do your job, and get me my stuff. Ridiculous.

    Now FedEx is charging for return items. If a company gives you a free return status with their product through FedEx, the company then tries to charge, in my case, $13 for additional packaging. This was for a box already wrapped in brown paper and labeled. This is a form of extortion.

    Sent diabetic test strips to my mother who is 85 years old and who lives down south of Morocco. The Moroccan customs called my nephew who also lives down south to travel to Casablanca and bring "a doctor's prescription" to release the shipment. Basically diabetic test strips do not require a "doctor's prescription" and it is an over the counter product. While my nephew couldn't leave his job, the package disappeared. Even I requested my package back to be returned but with no luck. Now, I lost $900 value and my mother is out of diabetic test strips.

    I was expecting a delivery today from FedEx and was home waiting for their driver. I received an alert over my cell phone stating that my package was not delivered because no one was home. I called the 800 number and was advised by an employee. That I would have to wait 4 days for another delivery. I then asked for a supervisor who informed me that he would have the driver contacted and return with my package. I never received a second call advising me if the driver was returning or not, and if I was going to be able to pick up my package at Walgreens approximately 25 miles away. Their customer service is outsourced and is totally unsatisfactory. The item shipped was purchased from Amazon and shipped from California. I am a Prime member and had to pay $35.00 shipping. This is not the first problem I have had with FedEx delivery... They are just substandard as compared to UPS or even the USPS.

    I called customer service and the First Lady I spoke to had a accent and I couldn’t understand her. I told her that or maybe it’s cause she was talking too fast. I guess she got offended because after she talked to me like I was stupid. Then I asked to speak to a supervisor. I asked why my package has changed estimated shipping days 3x. He said they tried dropping it off and nobody was home. I said false because I have been by my door on the couch all day. Nobody ever knocks on my door. He then asked me if they left a door tag. I said, "No they never ever leave door tags." So apparently it’s up to whoever is delivering if they want a signature and if they don’t get it your package won’t be dropped off. So supervisor was just as bad as representative honestly.

    I live with my husband who’s very ill and 99% of the time I’m in the bedroom that’s located in the rear of my home. I can’t hear the doorbell or knocks on the door. My house was struck by lightning and I needed to replace my TVs. AAFES had a great deal on TVs. A week or 2 ago I ordered 2 and was expecting them to be left on my porch. Checked online and found out delivery was attempted twice, that one last delivery would be attempted the next day and that the TVs had to be signed for.

    I called the 800 and was told to place a note on the front door stating that I couldn’t hear the doorbell and for the delivery person to call my cell phone number. I immediately did as I was told, but the next day things went wrong. I waited, but happened to go to the door to check on things and found 2 packages of health food for a different address. I called the 800 again and told them that I had to have delivery that day as they stated on the shipment status left on my door because the next day I had to go to North Carolina. I was put on hold while they contacted the local warehouse here in Columbia, SC. The message relayed to me by the 800# customer service rep from a female worker at the warehouse was the only thing they were willing to do was to attempt delivery again the next day, for the 3rd and final time.

    The customer service rep stated he told the warehouse that I would be out of town the next day, that the status on my door stated my delivery would be today and that the packages received were the wrong ones. The warehouse refused to cooperate with me. The rep told me they’re not allowed to give out telephone numbers for the warehouse, but he give me the address. I drove to the warehouse and demanded to talk to the woman who the rep had talked to. The man at the desk refused and told me I had to talk to him. I let him have it, but his attitude was no better than what was relayed to me over the phone. With a nasty tone he asked me what exactly I wanted him to do. I told him I didn’t care if he had to bring my TVs to me in his car, but that I wanted my TVs delivered that day! He finally relented and talked the driver into bringing the TVs to me after he made his last delivery that night.

    I finally got them, but the TVs are so nice and the price is so good that I ordered 3 more. This time I decided to be proactive and place a note on my door days prior to delivery hoping that everything would go differently this time. I heard a truck outside today, but by the time I got to the door the FedEx truck was gone and a status message was left on my door saying another attempt will be made tomorrow. As I said, there was a sign on my door with my telephone number on it.

    I called the 800 number and was told to expect a telephone call right away from the locals. I waited. No phone call. I called again and was transferred to a local office. I recounted the entire story and was promised that a special message would be sent for the driver to call me when he attempts delivery tomorrow. We’ll see what happens tomorrow, but I won’t be surprised if I have to make another visit to the local office next week to get this straightened out again. I’ve always thought FedEx had an exemplary reputation. I’d never heard anything negative until now. I must say I’m shocked that they treat customers this way. I hope my story somehow helps someone else.

    Would give no stars if possible. I received an open (flaps outward) box delivered to my doorstep today, missing the order's packing slip/paperwork and half of the packing material. The delivery person did not ring my doorbell to explain the condition nor did they leave a note. Luckily the company I ordered from wrapped the two boxes of dishes extensively in bubble wrap otherwise, it would have been more of a disaster. I have no idea how FedEx even knew if they delivered a complete order - since there was no information what was supposed to be in the box. I contacted their customer service dept who said "they will look into it" and nothing more. They take no accountability for the damage or the irresponsibility of leaving the mess of the package at my doorstep. I will never willing use their services again.

    Received 1 of 2 cartons from overseas and my 2nd carton was "accidentally" delivered to Amazon's Warehouse in Charlotte NC. This is NOT the 1st time one of my packages has been misdelivered to Amazon. While speaking with a representative they mentioned "this happens a lot" and especially beyond their control if the package appears to be from China, since most of what is sent to Amazon is from China (i.e., Chinese Logo whatever on the carton). REALLY? Why isn't FedEx checking the shipping label if they know this happens A LOT?

    They also offered up that it was the holiday and they were very busy so mistakes happen. FedEx mentioned Amazon's policy is to hold packages 3-5 days before returning packages back to FedEx. That was the 18th and now it's the 28th. I called today and was told FedEx had not made time yet to retrieve my package and I should check back tomorrow.

    I live on a street that is basically a circle, and my address is almost identical to one of my neighbors with the exception of the A that is listed behind the numbers of my address. FedEx continuously deliver packages around the corner to the other house even though there is clearly a difference in the address. Most of the time, I sit outside and flag them down on their way around the corner, or attempt to get the package from my neighbor. This time, they went the opposite way and left an exception of no one home on their door. They never ask for ID even though they clearly see there is no A behind their address (clearly an exception).

    Once my husband and I withdrew a substantial amount of money from our 401K to pay for our daughter's education and FedEx delivered it around the corner, no ID whatsoever. When I asked the neighbor about the check he denied receiving it, until I pointed out the name on the mail he was holding. And the lady at the service center was like, "Well you got your mail.

Item was packed very well, like all my shipments, bubble wrap and lots of shipping paper in all hollow areas of box. They must of slammed box down sideways or something. I filed the insurance claim, fedex denied.. I had sent 7 pics of item and packing material.. They still denied and yelled at me on the phone.

We have 3 Christmas presents ‘in transit’ that won’t arrive until 2 days after Christmas, and expedited shipping was paid for, 2 weeks before Christmas. Not what I consider last minute shipping. FedEx apparently doesn’t do background checks on employees with all of the ‘missing’ packages, and the company basically practices thievery taking money for expedited shipping and not delivering as promised.

They shipped on Dec. 19th, and tried delivery twice, (somehow the driver didn't know how to read the street signs) but now they have two more days to deliver before Christmas and they aren't going to do it. This is so unacceptable and I believe that their driver never tried delivery.

    Customer service is very bad, with these kinds of wait times. And, I sent emails, and received auto responses that they were sending my concerns to appropriate departments so they could get back to me, not soon I am sure. This is unbelievable.

I noticed on my front door that there was a sticker that said they missed me (mind you my car was in the driveway and the front door was open) and that they wanted me to sign and leave on the door, they would then drop the package the next day. Now I took the day off so that I would not have a $1000.00 phone sitting on my porch and possibly taken so now I have taken a day off work and I had to drive across town to pick it up from the FedEx location myself in order to ensure it was not sitting outside all day.

    Second experience. I order a Christmas present with guaranteed delivery before Christmas if you pay an extra $27.79. Okay. I waited too long to order it so I paid the money. The item was ordered on Monday night supposed to deliver Thursday by 8pm. Sat around waiting. No package. Get an update that it will come Friday before 8pm. Okay fine it is still before Christmas not happy but understand there are lots of packages being delivered. At 9am Friday I get another notification that now it will not come until Tuesday 12/26/17.

    Call to complain. They have no idea where the package is. I sat on hold for 45minutes being passed around all over the place and still no resolution. Will not be getting this package until the day after Christmas so why did I pay the extra fee. If you can't deliver in time don't commit. I will never order anything online again if they use FedEx to deliver. I have never had issues with any other delivery company. I think your customer service sucks and your driver is lazy and should find a job he wants to do.

    This had happened 3 times. Express service guaranteed by 10:30 am. Packages marked as frozen and perishable are not delivered on time and by on time I mean next day. Packages all broken. Drivers leaving packages accessible to strangers, don’t knock on the doors. They didn’t contacted me at all for any exceptions. They pay it all by saying, “I understand your frustration, but we are handling a high volume of packages”. Hello!!! Christmas time, you should be more aware of the season and hire more personnel as this happens every year and that’s not your client problem. We pay for a service that’s not been granted. That’s unacceptable when high prices are paid for that poor service. And their claim service makes it impossible to claim with their ridiculous requirements. They should take more care and responsibility on their customers so they don’t leave as I’m doing.

    On November 29th at 9:05 am a FedEx driver in a FedEx ground truck NC license plate ** traveling toward Raleigh on Creedmoor road between I540 and Strickland Rd changed lanes from the outside lane to the inside lane, pushing my car into the concrete median. We were both traveling about forty miles per hour. When he (the driver) started into my lane he was only halfway past my car. I had no choice but to go onto the median. I ran over a lot of trash, rocks and torn up tire debris. When I went onto the median it jerked my car into Oncoming traffic. This is a very careless and reckless way to drive on his part. This done a lot of damage to my car. Front end damage, all of my shocks, two of my new tires and rims, front fender and rear fender. I got back on the road to try and notify the driver of the damage and he would not stop.

    I was going to call the police but thought it is very close to Christmas and I didn't want the driver to lose his job. Big mistake. I called FedEx customer service and told them what had happened, they told me they would send a adjuster to assess the damage to my car and we would go from there. As the third week went by I had a chance to talk to the adjuster, he said that FedEx told him to send me a letter that stated they will not do anything to fix my car and would not take any responsibility for the damage.

    When I finish with my paperwork and go to the media I hope this gets read by as many people as possible. I have been self employed for thirty three years and I have never treated any persons the way FedEx treated me. As for the people who run the FedEx company, please read this and think about how your company is being run in the Raleigh area. I am not trying to sue your company like most people do when they get half a chance, but between the media and social media that I am going to saturate with this wrongdoing I hope others will not be treated the way I am being treated.

    On 11 December 2017 I had prostate cancer surgery. I was released from the hospital on that Thursday. My medical care ordered my medical supplies that I would need for my recovery at my home which were being overnighted and I should had received them by Saturday 16 December 2017. The driver showed up at my home at 8:47 in the morning. He rang the doorbell twice at that time. I tried to get my wife which was in a deep sleep to go answer the door before the driver left. The driver immediately return to his truck after leaving a note on the door which I was yelling for him not to leave that someone was coming to answer the door. The driver meeting return to his truck and left when my wife was exiting the garage door to get his attention. I immediately call the Coldwater center. FedEx ask them to contact the driver to have the driver return so I can’t receive or sign for my medical supplies.

    The office stated that they would have my package returned to me by the end of the day. I waited and waited the whole day and at 8 PM the package still did not show up. This is a disgrace because the office I called them four times throughout the day. They insured me that my package would be at my residence by the end of the day which was not true. It was a total lie. The office close and then left a message that the package would not be delivered until Monday or Tuesday. There is no reason that this package medical supplies that I truly need it for my medical condition for it not to be returned to my residence especially when I called and they said the package was returned to their office at 11:56 so that tells me that that driver was off from work by 12 o’clock or 1230 for the rest of the day. They could have put it on the afternoon truck but why do you continue to tell me that the package will be delivered by the end of the day which was a total lie.

    I will ensure that my medical providers not ever use FedEx to deliver any of my medical supplies that I need for my conditioning. This is how a veteran is treated by serving his country for 20 years in the military of his life for a company FedEx the treat not only veterans but other civilian or seniors there’s not able to do for themselves. It’s a disgrace and the Coldwater FedEx office next to Talladega race track Manager along with employees responsible for this act should be treated in the same manner.

    2 issues in a matter of 2 weeks. From 4 representatives I talked to, only one really tried to help. Approximately 10 days ago, even though the online status was showing that the package was delivered there was no package in my building. So, of course I called FedEx and informed them that my package was missing and asked them what should I do about it? I've been told that someone will call me in no later than an hr. Needless to say no one did. So I called again, I've been given the same answer but again, no phone call back.

    After 4 of my calls I've been told that they need between 24h and 48h to investigate and only then someone will reach out to me. 72 h passed, no phone call back. After maybe 4 days I do receive a phone back from FedEx asking me if I want to file action, no explanation whatsoever. I was lucky that someone called me and told me they received my package, they were located at a different address. So FedEx had nothing to do with solving this issue.

    Ten days later I am expecting a new package. Last night, 12/14 I get home and I find a door tag dated 12/13 stating that I can pick up my package at a FedEx location or there is going to be another delivery attempt. First thing in the morning 12/15 I call FedEx and see how I can pick up the package. I am told that there were 3 delivery attempts and that the package is on its way back to the sender. When I start explaining the customer service person that there was actually only one door ticket (and that yes, I missed it for one day) he starts telling me that I am wrong. The personnel is not trained as they should, me as a customer I was only trying to tell them "hey, is something going wrong with your services? Maybe you should take action". Their response was really unprofessional and actually started to argue with me trying to convince me that I was wrong and they made three attempts to deliver my package.

    My question for you FedEx, being my previous experience, from only ten days ago, and being the fact that I found only one door tag, is it possible that the delivery attempts were made at a different address? Mistakes do happen, it's the holiday season and there are many seasonal employees. But if you are looking for customer loyalty you are doing all things wrong. You should really invest more in training your employees. Bad Customer Service, bad delivery services, will definitely not use your services again, and will spread the word around. PS from all 6 representatives I talked to there was only one person who had a professional attitude. I am sorry I didn't get his name.

    The reason I am so enraged being that this delivery contains URGENT VET MEDS for my Great Dane who has severe liver failure, these are needed extremely urgently but your company could not care less apparently, this was told to your member of staff on the tel yesterday pm and He LAUGHED. I have to say I am totally disgusted at your service. The delivery was meant to be yesterday as you know. Upon checking tracking details yesterday pm I discovered that it said a problem with address... My husband called you and gave directions...as the driver allegedly could not find it, the house being on the A170 main rd, having 3 signs outside with the house name etc so absolutely no reason for driver not to find it, plus if you use satnav it directs you exactly to the house without any problem whatsoever.

    Any driver today has NO excuse at all for not finding the house as well as the above info ref main A170 rd, my husband said it is the bungalow just before the Indian restaurant and next to its car park, the house has 2 five bar gates, there will be either one or 2 Range Rovers on the drive and there are also 3 house names one on gate and one either side, and if no one is in please leave in the garage... The driver also has my mobile number and my home number to call if any problems... So what is your excuse today??

    I received a answer machine message. This from FedEx office giving a name and number to contact if there were any more problems after having been reassured once more that the delivery would most def be made today... By late pm still no sign of delivery...and the tel number given is useless, it goes to an answer machine with another number to dial that then cuts off after a long wait.

    My husband has today spent over 90 mins in total on the phone to FedEx trying to locate the delivery and find out when it will be delivered... Absolutely no one knew anything and just passed him on from one place to another a total of 4 times, each of which with his call in a line and approx number 30 people in the line to wait before his call would even be answered. This is simply deplorable. I shall never use FedEx ever again and if a company I buy from insists on using you then they will lose my custom. Whilst I appreciate it is a busy time of year there is simply no excuse at all for this level of incompetence and that is purely what it is it. No one is interested in any problems, just pass you on to someone else, no one takes accountability and your drivers obviously could not give a toss, excuse my language... I actually feel like writing something stronger!!

    I still have no delivery 2 days later, I am still no further as to finding out where the parcel is or even if it will ever be delivered and now will have a huge phone bill in trying to contact yourselves to get information which was a total waste of time. Just for your information...that delivery contains urgent vet medicine for a seriously ill dog with liver failure... I need those meds urgently.

    I am also making a full written complaint to your head office about this and I shall also I am afraid to say be plastering this experience on Facebook and other social media. The fact the delivery is late is one thing but the actual incompetence of FedEx regarding any help with this has been absolutely disgusting. I feel it only right other people are aware of your level of service. As another note, I have contacted the sender, they have apparently received numerous complaints about FedEx in my area (judging by my experience it is no surprise) and will no longer be using your services. I wonder how long before many other businesses come to their senses and make the same decision?

    My phone number is on the package and I left an explicit note on the door asking to be contacted when delivery attempt happens so I can meet the driver somewhere to pick up my laptop. NOPE. No attempts to contact me were made. Drivers don't have neither work phone to call from nor the system to call through unauthenticated nor apparently desire to assist. Calling local office and asking for assistance meets indifference. "Maybe contacting the driver. Maybe he will try to redeliver. Maybe you should drive two hours to pick up your package." Clearly these practices are NOT BUSINESS FRIENDLY. Clearly this can be easily fixed if there was desire to do so.

    I wanted to send some solar panels and batteries to my son, as Irma was on her to Florida and we expected the power to go out. I checked the FedEx website and they were still servicing my son's zip code. Friday afternoon I went to a FedEx office, and confirmed with them that they were still making deliveries. I sent the package overnight air, at a considerably higher cost than 2 day ground. I wanted it delivered before the hurricane hit, which was forecast to hit the Daytona Beach area Saturday night into Sunday. The package flew to Orlando, and sat for 4 days, not delivered until Wednesday.

    My contention is that they already knew they were going to be shutting down on Saturday, yet still took my money for overnight air. They must have already made the decision on Friday to shut down Saturday, based upon the forecast hurricane arrival. They didn't base the decision on the actual arrival, which was Sunday night into Monday. They had already made the decision to shut down when they took my money, and knew they wouldn't make the delivery.

    I finally received the package 12/6. It was in good condition. The driver apologized saying my house was hard to find and wished me a Merry Christmas. I guess its better late than never.

    Original Review: Dec. 5, 2017

    I ordered structural connectors that were not available locally for a home remodel to support floor joists for a stairwell. They are lightweight and fairly small (less than 20 lbs and a 10x10x6 box). Original delivery was listed as Monday 11/27. I noticed a delivery exception notice and it said, "No delivery attempted" I contacted FedEx and was advised the driver may not have been in my area that day so the package wasn't delivered. Since the company shipped the package FedEx ground the delivery could be anywhere from 3-5 business days. I call back Friday, after getting 5 No Delivery Attempted messages and no package after a week. I'm told they will look into and get back with me the next day.

    3 more days go by, no contact. I contact FedEx again, I'm advised they have an open case and they will get back to me whenever they feel like it. I asked, "Is there a normal average time for these investigations." "No, whenever they are completed they are completed." So now it's over a week beyond the original expected delivery date for a package what should have only been 3 days. This wasn't a SmartPost which from experience take forever. The homeowner is pissed as the job isn't completed and my hands are tied as these connectors are special order for this project. What doesn't make sense, the tracking shows they load the package on the truck every morning but yet they don't make any attempt to deliver it? What a WORTHLESS company.

    So I will start from the beginning. I placed an order on Walmart.com. They shipped it through FedEx ground. Shipped on November 28 picked up on the 29 by FedEx. I kept a watch on the tracking. Was supposed to deliver on December 2. Did not get it that day. I called them. They could not tell me why it was late. Asked to speak with a supervisor and got hung up on three times. Finally got someone who could answer a question to find out my package was put on the wrong truck. So I will just have to wait for them to deliver it. Also had a trace put on it and was told that someone would call me on Monday. Never got a call from anyone. Worst customer service I have ever gotten. Will never use Fed-Ex again.

Out of a med I need to be able to eat anything and live, and the driver didn't even attempt delivery. Didn't even buzz the office. Then, the local agent hung up on me. She did tell me delivery by 3pm, but when I went online, it said delivery will be attempted again Monday. It is on ice and will be no good. When I called to speak to a supervisor... 2 attempts were made and the representative said they weren't answering him. I'm sorry. I won't be able to eat this weekend at all... And may need to go to the hospital. My kidneys already hurt. All because the driver either lied or doesn't have enough training to know where our office is.

    What a hassle! FEDEX dropped off my package from Bed Bath & Beyond at the post office. When I opened the package it was not what I wanted and repacked everything, placed the return postage paid by BBB packaging slip on the box and went back to the post office to drop it off at the counter. Well, the postal clerk said that I have to contact FEDEX and arrange for them to pick up the package.

    Sooo, I go online and try to figure out how to get them to come and get the package. They wanted me to fill out a form and then, they wanted my cc number. I'M not supposed to have to pay for this to be returned. Then, they wanted me to clear all cookies, which I did. Still not getting anywhere. Then, I found out that when I cleared all cookies I cleared out my emails. So, I had to undo the cookies bit and get my emails back. So, it's either try and chase down a truck that I see go whizzing by me while out shopping or driving or going 25 miles to the store to bring the thing back. NOT TOO HAPPY AT ALL FEDEX!!!

    The FedEx Driver never notifies me that he is here. He continually leaves without delivering our packages and states we weren’t home or he leaves expensive packages on the doorstep for all to see. He doesn’t knock. He doesn’t ring the bell. We complain to FedEx every time. I know he doesn’t knock because we have a very vigilant dog that barks his head off when someone knocks or rings the bell. Today was even worse because they were big packages and I could barely move them inside myself. When at all possible we choose a different delivery option but sometimes we’re stuck with them. I highly recommend any delivery service besides FedEx! Consistently Poor Service.

    My issue started about a month and a half ago with FedEx home delivery. It was near the end of October 2017, so I started to buy Christmas gifts online. My doorbell rang so I figured it was FedEx with one of my items, wrong, it was a neighbor from down the road with my item that FedEx dropped at their door. I figured well, it was a mistake.

    Several days later I was expecting a large order from a dept store that cost over $200 and when it started to get late I started to worry that FedEx delivered it to the wrong address. So, again, my doorbell rings and this time it was my neighbor from downstairs bringing my delivery that FedEx, this time dropped at her door. I was happy that my neighbors were honest people but upset that FedEx delivery people were so careless.

    I wrote to FedEx and explained that this was the 2nd time this occurred and explained that I live in a condo where there are 8 units in each building and that EVERY address is CLEARLY on EACH door. I received an email stating that my complaint will be sent to the correct department, which I guess is the standard email randomly sent out when you write to them. I did not hear anything back from them.

    Fast forward 3 weeks to November 26th; I placed an order with Quest Nutrition and I wait for it to be delivered by FedEx. December 1st, today, I check my tracking number at 11:30 am and it says that it was delivered at 9:25 am and left at the door. I open my door and there is no package. I go outside and go downstairs and there is my package, at my other neighbor's door. I was furious! I AGAIN wrote to FedEx and explained the situation and even took pictures of the delivery, the addresses on the doors... in case they want them so they can see how easy it is to see the addresses on the doors. I again, got the same randomly generated email saying it would be forwarded to the correct dept...

    Also, my address was not on the box ONE time, it was on the box FOUR times, the original label, 2 smaller labels with the address on them, AND someone wrote 4767 on the side of the box with black marker, and the delivery person still delivered it to 4771. (Pics show neighbor's door with package and my door showing both addresses are easily readable.) It is NOT difficult to look at 4 numbers and match them to 4 other numbers, and if it is hard for them, they should not be doing this job! Other people may not be as lucky as I am to have great, honest neighbors, and may lose important and/or expensive items because of someone else's carelessness.

    It used to be the "gold standard", not anymore. If you are a single person working full time, you have to take off "the entire day" waiting at home for the FedEx delivery, because they will not provide you with a two-hour window. After three "random attempts", they return the merchandise back to its origin. The alternative is to have them leave your expensive laptop at the door exposed to the environment and possible theft (at your responsibility). This was what I experienced after several phone calls, and long waits. At the end, I was forced to go to their shipping center and wait about three hours for the driver to show up, and give me my laptop. Their substandard services is a reflection of how this company is managed at the very top. US Postal Service may not be perfect, but at least you are not paying a high price tag for substandard services, and the FedEx CEO's bonus.

    Our small business has been shipping with FedEx since 1992. This year (2017) we had our first ever insurance claim with them. It was a large order or 6 cartons of product. They severely damaged, crushed, a couple boxes to the point that all the product spilled out, evidently on a road of filthy surface. About 1/4 of the shipment was not usable-- scratched labels, black tar-like marks on the plastic bottles.

    The wholesale value of the damaged items, which is what it was insured for, was about $2,500. After filling out all their forms, we included the vendor photos of the repacked boxes that our vendor in Las Vegas refused because even those were damaged. We included, box certificates showing boxes were USA made and were only packed to 60% of the weight rating. This is the same item we have sent for 20 years with them and other more reliable shippers like UPS and YRC. We received some of the damaged product back (much was just completely lost) very poorly packed in some different boxes FedEx likely had from some other damaged shipment since the boxes were not even ours and were falling apart.

    FedEx has never made good on the claim (Filed 20 January 2017). After months of being postponed, we have had the claims supervisor, Brittney 800-463-3339 say she would handle it and to fax everything to her (7 July 2017, August 9, 2017). We did. This has been followed up with several phone calls to her messages, and she has never responded after another 2 months. They must have their own in-house insurance that they do not want to pay out. This has been the biggest hassle, they clearly do not even care enough about a business customer that spends $thousands with them every year. One who has been with them since 1992 and has only had one claim.

    They now only get our business if one of our vendors has their own shipper account, or, if for some reason they must specify to use FedEx. That $2,500 was a large loss for us. FedEx is OUT for us. We now use UPS, YRC, USPS and for our international shipping we use a export broker service. FedEx does not care a hoot about its customers. They might pay if you have a small claim, we don't know. But if you are a business shipping expensive quantities of product forget about FedEx if you ever have a claim.

They have to lie about "attempting" delivery and saying you were not at home while you were waiting for this specific package for the whole day and that they left a door tag with instructions. But there is no door tag and status of the shipment has been "Package at station, arrived after courier dispatched." Whole day and the packaged was supposed to be delivered until 8 pm. At 10:30 pm they changed the status to "We made an attempt. You weren't at home". Great freaking job, I hope you get paid accordingly.

The second one also did not arrive and was found on the other side of the locked gate. Notified FedEx again but still once again the package was on the other side of the gate. They claimed to be using Google maps to deliver.

    For the past 3 weeks I have been trying to get FedEx customer service to acknowledge my complaint and their automated system is EVEN WORSE than the delivery system. My complaint had to do with packages being left 500 ft away from my house on a public street at the top of my driveway. No gate to get through...just a longer than usual driveway. UPS and USPS always deliver packages to my house...usually leave them on the front porch or even inside of my garage where the door is usually open. FedEx apparently has lazy drivers who think that dumping packages on the public street is home delivery. So I complained online using the company "customer support" form.

    What I got back after 9 days - the automated acknowledgment states within 24 hours - was a standard reply...we're sorry you were inconvenienced, blah, blah, blah...and if you would like to set up "customized delivery services" please contact... So, according to the genius "customer support" automated response people, if you want a FedEx package delivered to your house, that's a "customized delivery service". Anyway, I contacted the pharmaceutical company that sent the very expensive medications that were left on the street by a lazy FedEx employee. The pharmaceutical company representative informed me that they were getting numerous complaints about FedEx and were in the process of terminating their contract with them. They said I will get future packages through the USPS.

I called them up and they said they consider Friday and Saturday holidays as well. Clearly they are not actual holidays, they are just not going to work because...who would need any packages delivered near the holidays (I mean, nobody would need a package delivered around Black Friday would they)?

    If they are too lazy to do their job then fine, I'll drive down and do their jobs for them by picking up the packages myself, but no. They are just going to keep them locked up in their facility out of laziness. I needed to have the packages over the holiday or at least over the weekend.

    What a horrible excuse for a company. I had a pick up scheduled today between 12 & 6 for a TV that was SMASHED in when FedEx delivered it to me a few days back. This is a brand new $6000 top of the line TV that came with a FOOT hole through the box. Like what the hell?! Then I have to chase them around all day for the pick up that was scheduled. I was assured MULTIPLE times by many supervisors: Jennifer **, Robert, and two other people in management that this item would be picked up by 6 pm, then 7:30 pm, and then 8 pm. Robert even told me that if someone didn't come by 8 pm he would personally arrange for dispatch. Obviously he was lying, just like everyone else I spoke to all day. Half of the employees have no idea what they are doing. I have a call tag on the pickup and half the customer service reps I spoke to can't tell the difference between that and a confirmation number.

    The last manager I spoke to said that no one was even dispatched to pick up this item, even though it is scheduled for a pick up in their system. They moved my pick up to Friday, with zero communication and without my consent after making me sit in my living room for 8 hours waiting for them. It's really pathetic that the only thing this company does is pick up and delivery and they can't even get that right. DON’T waste your time with FedEx. They are garbage. The employees there talk out of their ** and speak just to hear their own voices. All I got was false promises. This company is completely unreliable and is a complete waste of your time.
