    The drivers are too lazy to drive down the driveway and leave the packages. They leave them out at the street 300 feet from the house. When you check tracking they say delivered and left them by the front door. You have to go out and find where they may have left them.

    The delivery persons vary so I can't be specific about the drivers. Some, leave on deck, some have left things that is medicine that says KEEP REFRIGERATED, out in the hot sun, they never knocked or rang doorbell. One of us is here 24 hours a day. Husband works downstairs. I am retired and don't drive. The meds that got ruined by melting through the push up bottoms (like an orange push up ice cream) and was all over the boxes and each other, we had to ask them not use FedEx for medicines. We had to pay for them anyway and they delivered by a DRIVER OF A CAR. Over $300 in meds, paid for 2 times. Did anyone care? No. So FedEx is okay for things that don't melt.

    Trying to find a FedEx box is next to impossible! They do not keep their local website up to date... They may have pulled a box 14 months ago yet it is still on their map (an exaggerated time lapse due to the exaggerated time it took me to find a box!!!) When I'm told to return a product via FedEx, I cringe. Last time, I sat on the side of the parkway & waited until I saw a FedEx truck & followed it to its destination.

    I shipped about 30 packages with Federal Express from Florida to Wisconsin. The price was very reasonable and the service was top notch. The delivery times more than met my expectations. I sent those packages over a course of a two month period in the middle of winter. There were some very bad storms they had to contend with and they still made it on time using FedEx ground.

They don't bother to check with the household members if there was a package meant for them or not. This is the second time this has happened and it's pissing me off.

    I brought a package from South America that I needed to drop at a FedEx location in Las Vegas between flights. I had prepared the package online, researched the facility, and determined the cost (which of course ended up being more than quoted online), and printed the label. It turns out the "FedEx" location is inside a hotel, and they slap a $30 "handling fee" to turn over a package to FedEx, even though they claim to be FedEx. FedEx, needless to say, takes no responsibility for these FedEx charges, referring to the "FedEx" location as "them."

    The real issue, though, is how two separate customer "support" agents handled this. Despite my explaining in detail how I had prepared the shipment online, how there is absolutely NO mention of handling fees anywhere on the fedex.com website — which is referenced on the "handling fee" receipt -- both insisted that I had advance notice of the fee because there was a sign on the wall when I walked in from the waiting taxi. They were both defiant and defensive, and I ended up hanging up on both. I got the ID of one and realized that these are not FedEx employees, but third-party call center operatives.

    I've had a FedEx account for at least 25 years, and have always had some respect for the company. But here they have a receipt from FedEx Office, referencing their website, and they insist it has nothing to do with FedEx per se, because FedEx in Las Vegas is "them," not "us." To add further FedEx incompetence, the receipt for the "handling fee" references a feedback web page that does not exist, and an 800# that will allow you to comment only if you have a number from a survey invitation. So instead, FedEx, I give you feedback here, along with all the other disgusted FedEx victims.

    I do my best NOT to have anything shipped to me by FedEx. A FedEx truck has never come to my home in 13 years now. They do not drive up my road to my home in the woods because they must pass 3 very large dogs which surround the truck before a wire underground quickly stops the neighbor's dogs at the beginning of my property. All they need to do is drive slowly into my woods, the dogs will not bother them - Unless your trucks have no doors or windows. They will not scratch the truck. I think FedEx comes out of Binghamton, NY about 1 hour away and they once left an expensive package at my mailbox on a main road, RT 220 in Ulster PA, 1/10th of a mile from my home. It was a large box, easily stolen. I understand why they can't drive up my hill if it is icy or snow, but it was in Spring or Summer.

    This is the 3rd time in one month that FedEx claims I refused shipment on their tracking site, which is untrue. Instead, their packages are always delayed, late, misdirected, and rather than own up to it, they blame the customer. I receive packages 3 to 4 times a week and never have problems with UPS, USPS, DHL, Amazon (AMZL). Yesterday, FedEx tracking site was down nationwide and I can understand they were having a delay in delivery; however, once again, the tracker claimed I refused shipment. It's rescheduled to be delivered today, but it was supposed to be delivered Saturday, then rescheduled for Monday, and now rescheduled for Tuesday, with the false claim that I refused shipment.

    This has happened with the last 3 FedEx shipments and once they even shipped the package back to the seller, claiming I refused it even though I took a day off from work to sign for the package and was waiting patiently at home for it. The seller then tried to charge me a 20% return fee, using the FedEx claim that I refused shipment. I am getting so sick of FedEx and have written to several merchants to request that they not use FedEx.

    I work for a large organization that uses FedEx exclusively for all their shipping needs. However, I have been sorely disappointed by FedEx twice now. FedEx claims they have already investigated and found my claim to be invalid. So I just want to put in my two cents. While shipping our materials and giveaways to a conference in Kansas City, MO, we realize upon receiving the package that 98% of our contents were missing. This has happened twice already.

    When I tracked my package via their website, it showed that the weight of the box had changed at one point during transport. If things weren't taken out, why would the weight change? Also, I was told by FedEx customer service that my box was repackaged as well. Why would FedEx repackage my box? Is it normal practice for FedEx to repackage their customer's packets without notifying the customer? Needless to say, we did not have any brochures, pamphlets, pens, table covers or anything for our conference.

    I had also spoken to the hotel manager who accepted the boxes and he claims he did not open the boxes when he received them. If FedEx had not repackage my box and the weight did not change from start to end, I would have investigated it more with the hotel but this leads me to believe that someone working for FedEx took our stuff out and repackaged it. However, FedEx would not take responsibility for what their employees did. I will just assume that whoever took our stuff really needed it and will considered it a service on our end to the needy. I will put in a request for our company to change carriers as I cannot have to happen every time I ship something out.

    I had a customer purchase an item with shipping via FedEx. The customer alerted me that FedEx attempted to deliver on Thursday of last week but was unable to because I wasn't there. This is the last time FedEx told the truth during this mess. I was out on business on Thursday. On Friday, I came in early to await FedEx. First, I noticed that no missed attempt tag was left. I called customer service to confirm the package was en route for Friday and to tell them that the driver is not leaving missed attempt tags again (an ongoing issue with this driver). I was told the package would be delivered on Friday. So, I waited all day. I even put a note on my exterior door asking the FedEx driver to ring the doorbell. The door was unlocked and the lights were on.

    At approximately 4:35, I checked the tracking info for the package. The driver stated that nobody was here to take delivery! I had been here since 11:30 AM and hadn't left at all. I did, however, use the restroom for a few minutes. The driver did not ring the bell. I doubt he ever exited his truck to even attempt to deliver the package. If he had, he would have seen the note asking that he ring the bell. I immediately called customer service back. I told them that their driver was lying. There was also not a missed attempt tag left on Friday. Basically, customer service told me it sucks to be me and I'll have to waste another day waiting for him. I told them that since their driver caused all this inconvenience he should be told to turn around and deliver the package. Wouldn't you know, they wasted enough of my time to make this impossible.

    Today, Monday August 7, 2017, I had a series of medical tests and appointments to attend to, I told customer service this and was assured that something would be worked out so that I didn't have to miss my very necessary medical appointments to wait for a package. This did not happen. I was told this morning that if I wanted the package today, I would just have to wait for the driver and miss my appointments.

    FedEx doesn't care about holding their drivers accountable for their laziness or lying. They seem to be following a business model of "let's see how much the recipient will tolerate before losing their cool." So, I missed necessary medical appointments to wait for this package to arrive because far be it for FedEx to have the integrity to make the situation right. My issues are at the bottom of their list. Their drivers are never to be inconvenienced or held accountable for their lack of job performance. They offered no solution except for "be there and get the package we lied about on Friday, or waste another day waiting for it tomorrow."

    That's not a solution, that's just business as usual. FedEx will not be getting any of our business. Not as a shipper and not as a recipient. We are done with FedEx. Nobody on this planet should have to skip necessary medical treatment because a driver is lazy. I've reached out to them numerous times via different avenues and no resolution was offered. Terrible business practices.

    I was behind a FedEx delivery truck that was trying to make a left turn from the right lane. Other cars passed the truck on the left - in the proper lane to make left hand turns while the drive blocked the entire right lane. I flashed my lights to the driver who became enraged and put the truck in reverse and tried to back into me. I was able to get out of the way as the driver threw it in drive and sped off through the intersection. I was able to get a picture of the truck and filed a complaint with the local FedEx Station. The Station Manager blew this off and completely swept it under the rug and advised me that the driver was going to continue to be allowed to drive.

    I ordered 3 bags of specialty dog food from PetSmart. I expected it to arrive in 2 days as Petsmart boasted, but after tracking my pkgs, I expected the pkgs on Friday 8/4 from FedEx. I had enough dog food at home to last for my dogs through Thursday evening (When I have ordered from Jet.com it is here in 2 days). My husband was working in our garage 25 feet from our latched, but not locked, gate, with the garage door open. We wanted to watch for Fed Ex, as the pkgs were needed so my dogs could eat - our large dog is allergic to most everything.

    Shortly after 11am, my husband looks at the gate and saw a tag. The tag was from the FedEx driver. If the driver would have made his presence known, by merely talking aloud, my husband would have greeted him, as he was within 25 feet and could be seen, from our gate. The DT tag had merely the date and no. of pkgs written only. No other boxes checked on the slip, reason why he didn't leave the pkgs or information on how to now get my pkgs. I called customer service of FedEx and they would not give me any clear information on how to get my packages or why the driver made NO attempt to leave my pkgs. I was told that they would call the driver's manager, and give him a message, and that the driver COULD come by again, or choose NOT to, the driver came from the Tacoma service center, but is allowed to take their truck with people's undelivered belongings to their personal residence.

    I was not allowed to call or be given the driver's manager's number. The computer just gave a delivery date of the next day. There was NO special instructions that a person even had to be home, though my husband was within talking distance but with back turned. There was no signature required. There was no c.o.d. due. The customer service was beyond horrible. I waited at the end of my driveway until 7pm in over 90 degree weather, hoping that the driver would CHOOSE to return. He did not. I called FedEx several times with the same runaround. I got so angry, I was to the point of tears and begging for help on my 5th call, as I was told there was no way for me to get my pkgs Friday so my dogs could eat.

    The manager finally called my husband, as my husband's phone number was on the pkgs. that the driver refused to deliver. The manager gave my husband the driver's number to get an address to pick up the pkgs himself. The driver ended up living about 2 miles from our home. My husband drove to his residence and got our dogs food. The driver lived so close that he could have come here on his way home, but "chose not to". When the driver was asked why he did not deliver the packages, he had no real answer, but did mention he saw the tv on in our garage. The lack of concern, customer service AND communication is beyond horrendous. I have never been treated so poorly by a business in my life! I will avoid any company that used FedEx as their form of delivery from now on.

    They are often late. The last late delivery and I called to find out why. I was told that FedEx does not work on Mondays, so the package that was supposed to be delivered the previous week would be delayed until Tuesday. At the earliest. Don't work on Mondays? What crock of bull as an excuse.

    I have had issues with the driver leaving packages on my front door step - if the driver would push the pkg in one foot more the pkg would be under the porch. That would prevent the pkg from getting wet due to rain or snow. This has happened several times over the last few years and the pkg gets soaked. I have called FedEx and complained about this to no change in behavior. If the driver would at least ring the bell so I know to look out the door I would see the pkg and bring it in. This is just common sense.

    I am a small business owner for 24 years. FedEx is the worst shipping company. I was expecting an order that was never delivered to me. I tracked my package and it was just left 15 minutes ago somewhere other than my address. When I called their customer service they asked to start knocking on stranger's doors asking if a package was left. They opened a case for my missing package and promised to call me back. They did not. When I called back they informed me that they could not do anything about it because records showed that the package was delivered (not to me of course).

    I found out that is a street near that has a similar name and the same number of my office building. I asked them to go there to retrieve my package and they told me that it was my responsibility to go knock on people's door to claim my package. One week after, I had the same problem with two more packages to be delivered on different dates. And again, they did not do anything about it. Their disregard for customers is unbelievable. They just don't care. Hopefully, one day they will go out of business.

    Misleading and deceptive conduct. Fedex is slow, very slow. It extracts taxes for Australia, promises to send the item, and after it has my money, being thousands of dollars, declares that there is another issue by email. One can't reply to the email. It states the item is a prohibited import, after illegally taking my money to import the item. The item, is not, according to the Australian border list of Prohibited items, prohibited. Absolutely the most useless organisation of the so called larger professional ones in the developed world, incompetent and partly corrupt. It wasn't my choice to use Fedex, it was the shipper, I've had too many issues with Fedex in the past. For anyone importing from Europe to Australia, use PostNL or similar. This website should have a ZERO rating for Fedex, one star is too much.

    Every package that has been delivered causes major anxiety that it will not get to me. FedEx Drivers usually leave packages anywhere with whomever even though a signature is required is selected. Even when I've called a few minutes since their website states that the item has been "delivered" they are not able to contact the driver. One usually gets a 48 hour claims ticket to see what the resolution was. It is ridiculous that items get lost because of how inept and careless their system is.

    I like buying from small businesses but unfortunately, I stay away from businesses that use FedEx as a courier. My item was just left one hour ago somewhere other than the labeled address, even though I was the only one in my office. When the Suite # is clearly stated in the address. They leave it to the consumer to start knocking on stranger's doors asking if a package was left. Their customer service response is basically, it takes 48 hrs to contact the driver. In 48 hrs there is nothing that could be constructively done to obtain the items that were delivered.

    One job! Two page Important document to be moved from the UK to Turkey. How difficult can this be? Clearly for the dedicated transportation company, FedEx, the answer is impossible. FedEx picked up the package from UK Consulate on Monday 24/07. Delivery guaranteed for Friday 28/07, although expected that delivery would occur much quicker, as premium international priority service chosen. The package didn't arrive as expected and for some reason was held in the FedEx facility in Paris (France). My emails to query what was causing the delivery delay went unanswered.

    On Saturday 29/07, my package left France and arrived in Turkey at the FedEx Istanbul facility. Delivery status was updated and delivery was now expected on Monday 31/07. Not a total disaster, as the purchaser agreed to delay the transaction for a few days. As you guessed, the package was not delivered and the delivery status was changed by FedEx to indicate no delivery date.

    Emails to identify the problem were sent to both the UK and Turkish FedEx customer service department, which went unanswered. I spoke to Customer Services (which appeared to be a call centre outside the UK), and they were very unhelpful. The representative was polite, but provided no insight into the problem. My contacts in Turkey also attempted to move delivery forward, but were also unsuccessful. If my documents do not arrive in Fethiye tomorrow, my hard negotiated property sale will fall through and I will have significant associated costs. FedEx clearly do not care.

    My advice to anyone thinking of using FedEx, is simply "think again." I am sure that on occasions they keep their delivery promises, but based on my experience, when anything goes wrong, they simply don't want to know. Customer service is frankly appalling, either due to them having poor processes, or more than likely because they are inundated with queries from unhappy customers. Anyone with any advice on how I can resolve this issue and how I can start the process of claiming compensation, please detail.

The packages are scanned twice each day stating the following: In transit, GROVE CITY, OH 43123. When I contacted customer service the only thing they would tell me is the packages will be delivered on time. So even though the packages are here locally in the very same state I live in, FedEx is intentionally holding the packages at their facility until the last day of the original scheduled delivery day.

    Bottom line FedEx doesn't give a ** about their customers. If a package does not arrive or they say the package arrived and it was the wrong package they take no responsibility. What they will do though is pass the blame and have you contact the seller. They will tell you that they will call you back in 2 hours. Guess who doesn't call? FedEx. Why pay the extra money for 1 or 2 day delivery and if it doesn't arrive who takes the responsibility? Not FedEx, again they will just have you contact the seller. They will not do anything to compensate for any inconvenience. I would rather drive 14 hours to retrieve my own package on time than rely on FedEx to bring a package to my doorstep. I mean they will bring me a package but instead of what I ordered it will be 3 Pacific Life retirement magazines. Which does not make for good reading material.

I truly believe that the driver stole the package. He signed for the package himself, put a bogus address to make it look like it was delivered. This is what these drivers do on The Bronx, NY.

    FedEx. Generally considered synonymous with good work ethic, good customer service, and the best at what they do. Right? That's what you MIGHT have thought before you arrived here. I recently sent a maximum 10 page letter to Windsor Ontario from Traverse City Michigan. Had I known then what I knew now I would have just drove the letter myself. Yes the letter got there. Good work FedEx. You did your job. You do realize this is only PART of the equation correct? I paid for the letter in full at the time of sending. No mention of an additional payment was made at the time of sending. Had it, I would paid on the spot. Only several months after I changed addresses did I get an additional bill for $43.40. FORTY FIVE pathetic dollars. No call from FedEx. No call from anyone. Just another bill.

    I immediately contacted FedEx to find out what EXACTLY the problem was. I was told it was a clerical error on their part and the matter was settled. THANK GOD I kept a confirmation number. Fast forward several months down the road. Not ONE SINGLE BILL FROM FedEX. Then I find out that more bills were sent to my incorrect address AFTER the date the matter was settled. Not only is this company intentionally lying to customers, it appears they are taking part in a credit destruction plot. Or, perhaps they are just THAT bad of a company. Never get a hold of you by phone or current mailing address. Instead, they ruin an 800 credit rating with a pathetic $50 bill. I bill my clientele more per hour than this stupid bill and should be entitled to bill FedEx for my time that they have wasted.

    So, if I can I will avoid using FedEx from now on. First, there's a package left at my door "accidentally", and even after I call for them to get it, a week goes by and still no one comes. A manager then called and said this info "got lost". At that point, I delivered the darn thing myself because that’s what I would have wanted if that were my package. Next, I order a large safe which was delivered to the wrong house. FedEx claimed they were doing an investigation, and still knew nothing.

    An honest neighbor of mine lugged it to my house 3 days later. Now I find a heavy box containing my mattress laying on my lawn next to my car a far distance from my porch, where packages are normally delivered. This box clearly states team lift and can't be moved without a dolly. It's too heavy for me or my husband to drag way up to my door, and the box looks beat up and scribbled on! I assume the damage is from the driver kicking it out their back door and taking off. I have never had my items handled in such a negligent, destructive way.

    They basically told me there was nothing they can do and could not help me.

The package showed delivered, but it was not delivered to my address. After multiple phone calls I was told that the package was delivered to the wrong address and that the place of the mistaken delivery called them and made them aware of the mistake. They then assured me that they would pick it up from the misdelivered address and redeliver to me the next day. This did not happen.

    Instead, I was on the phone with both customer service and the local home delivery hub at least once a day. I was always told the same thing. That it would be delivered the next day. Finally, on the 27th it showed it was delivered. But instead of delivering it here to me, they delivered it back to the shipper with the message that it was refused. This is not the case, as it was never even attempted at my address. I have since tried to speak to the manager who informed me that it was my problem since I refused it, and that he had no knowledge that there was ever a problem in the first place.

    When calling the customer advocacy line I was rudely told to contact the shipper and she hung up on me. At this point I am losing this new company due to this mistake. I had told them that I know that they are not going to actually fix the issue, but that if I had to lose my company over the driver's mistake I think that it is only fair that the driver get disciplinary action up to and including the loss of her job since I am losing my company over this. Instead all I am told is that it is my fault and hung up on. I am told by FedEx that the only responsibility and guarantees are to the shipper not the recipient.

    My employer send me very important documents of original copies with Fedex overnight shipping. The address were properly written. Fedex has delivered the package to wrong address. I got the package due to kindness of the other person. He found it must be important and dropped the package in the leasing office. Called me to collect the package. How can such an important package 'PRIORITY OVERNIGHT SHIPPING' can delivered to wrong address?

    I have my dog food (prescription dog food) delivered every month to my place of work and have never had a problem. The company I get the food from unfortunately uses FedEx and it usually takes 2-3 working days to arrive. It was ordered and shipped on 19 July and by Monday, I still hadn't received the package. I called FedEx as I tracked it and got a response that nobody was available to receive the package.

    Firstly, the shipping address is to a church, so naturally no one is there on a Saturday when it was supposedly delivered. I called Tuesday to be told it had been delivered. I checked on the website and or was delivered in a different town, not even a suburb in my town, a totally different zip code. I explained I didn't receive the package and that where it is delivered was not my town. I even drove to that town to see if there was an address similar to mine but to no avail.

    FedEx had said they will contact the driver and call me back. Eventually I got a call and was told they are trying to get hold of the driver but will call me back later and that he will go collect it from where he dropped it and deliver it to me. Well, a day later still no call so I called again and was told the driver will go collect it, same story. My situation is a dog with severe allergies and the vets around here don't carry the food, but it can be ordered. So I have been rationing my dog's food and by yesterday she was out of food and I resorted to feeding her tuna because she can't have meat or chicken products, her good is hydrolyzed. Now it's more money again for antihistamines, cortisone and ear drops to dirty out the allergies.

    I have to feed her so I am stuck. Never mind the fact that the order totals $103. So FedEx is costing me not Judy money but unnecessary inconvenience. They are totally useless and incapable. I can't see how this type of thing can happen when the items get scanned on delivery. Let's how I will get my dogs food some day soon.

    Let me tell you a story about my very frustrating experience with FedEx. I ordered a package on Friday afternoon, a very important necessary package, and I paid for overnight shipping for FedEx so that it would be here by Saturday, or Monday at the latest. I needed it on Monday night. I went to bed rest assured that I would get my items by the deadline.

    The next day, there was no tracking number emailed to me, no confirmation that it was in transit, nothing. I was mystified, but went along with it. My order may have come in too late to ship out Friday night. Okay. Fast forward to Monday afternoon. I finally received my tracking number and the assurance that it would be delivered Tuesday. TUESDAY. I PAID FOR overnight shipping on FRIDAY. I had ordered a different package from Amazon with Prime on Saturday, TWO DAY SHIPPING, and it was going to get there on Tuesday as well. Overnight shipping ordered Friday -- delivered on Tuesday. Two day shipping ordered Saturday -- delivered on Tuesday.

    I should've known things could only get worse. I don't use FedEx much, so I am unfamiliar with their policies. They come by Tuesday, like promised. I come home from working two different jobs, exhausted and just want my package. Instead of my item I needed the DAY BEFORE, is a tag on the door, saying a signature is required from someone in the household and you can go pick up your package when it returns to the FedEx facility. They knocked on my door at 1 in the afternoon. I’m a working adult; I have two different jobs to keep me afloat. I can't take an entire day off to wait for a package.

    So I investigated. Turns out, at the bottom of the FedEx page, in a very obscure place, almost as if they were trying to hide it, were the words "signature is required". Well, FedEx you could've made that more obvious, and put it up next to the tracking number and estimated time of delivery. No. This VITAL INFORMATION is HIDDEN at the BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

    I notice a button up at top that says "customize your delivery." Okay, I can just have them deliver it tomorrow at a time that's more convenient, or sign digitally. There's options I can work with this. Surprise, surprise, none of their customizable options are available for my delivery. I either have to go pick up my package from the facility *after it returns from being on the truck* or stay home all day and wait for a flipping package that was supposed to be here on Monday (We're on Tuesday right now).

    I look up where the facility is -- IT'S AN HOUR AWAY FROM ME. Near where my first job is. Okay, I can't go tonight, but let's see if I can call them and see if the facility will hold it for me so I can pick it up on my way to my other job. I call the 800 number and I get transferred to a supervisor because my crappy connection (did I mention that the package they're holding hostage is my new cellphone because my old one is broken? Yeah). I ask if it's possible for the facility to hold the package. He tells me no. Their policy is that they have to attempt to deliver three times, before they will hold the package at the facility during hours that I can actually be there. Which means Friday, A WEEK LATER FROM WHEN I PURCHASED IT, is the day I can pick it up at a time more convenient for me.

    I then ask if there's any possible way I can customize it. Perhaps the unavailable customizing options can be changed on their end. My hopes die a terrible death -- no customizing for this delivery. I can not sign for it online. I can not pay money for them to deliver it when I'm home. I have two options: be home when they deliver it or go pick it up in a small window of two hours. (The time they drop it off at the facility and the time the facility closes.) According to the slip they've left on my door, they attempted to deliver at around 1. I can maybe manage coming home in the small window between my two jobs around that time. I am now very ticked off at FedEx.

    It is now Wednesday. I came home during that window to another stick on my door, saying they came around 11:30 and would try again tomorrow. I am beyond pissed off right now. It seems by best course of actions are to either: repeat the same actions I have done today, coming home between my two jobs, actually drive to the facility in SLC when they have my package, adding another 100 miles, wait until Friday to pick up my phone when I am in SLC for my job and the FedEx facility has it. This all could've been avoided if I had known they needed my signature and if they'd let me have the option of signing for it before hand. FedEx -- change your policies. They're doing more harm than good.

    Please, for everyone living outside of the US, STAY AWAY from FedEx. Worst experience I had so far. I paid 40 Dollar for a quick shipment of a small package. Thanks to tracking I got notified that after about 3-4 days the package entered the country and I was positively surprised. After all, the high shipping costs seemed to have been worth it. But after about 2 weeks my package was still at the local FedEx office, not at customs, but the FedEx warehouse. Since I got no notification and the FedEx tracking system informed me every day or so that a new delivery date was being programmed just to not be delivered at the end of the day I decided to write FedEx.

    After about two days I got a dubious response from FedEx telling me that I'm supposed to pay to their bank account 90 Dollars more for customs and storage in their warehouse. No invoice, no nothing. The only reason I signed up to this website is to let other people learn from my experience. Please, never ever use FedEx again if you can avoid it, free shipping from dubious Hong Kong online shops is more reliable (and cheaper) than FedEx.

    I ordered a package off of Amazon which, to my dismay, was shipped via FedEx. Now, FedEx and I started our rocky relationship early. They constantly claimed they couldn't find my house, I had to hold their hand and teach them how to get there numerous times. At one point, I had to give them GPS coordinates so they could add me to their system. But not even that prompted me to write this review. This package I recently ordered was due for delivery on 7/25, after it traveled a grand total of 7 miles in 4 hours on 7/24. Without any contact from FedEx; no email, no phone call, nothing, they marked my package as undeliverable and marked it to be sent back to the shipper.

    Fuming, I called FedEx to help them with directions, only to be told that the driver wasn't coming back out today. "Okay, I'll just come pick it up then" I said. To which the reply was that they cant hold it without the senders permission. Understandable, I'll just call the sender and have them hold it, so I asked for the location of the FedEx office it was being held at. To which she gives me an address that doesn't exist, and the closest match is about 45 minutes further away. So I ask her for clarification and her response is that "once you get it held by the shipper just call us and we'll tell you where to go."

    So long story short: Your delivery driver is incapable of finding my location, doesn't bother to ask for directions (which have been given numerous times) and then tries to send my package back to the shipper. Then to top it all off, you don't even know the address of your own offices, nor are your reps willing to actually determine what the proper location is. Now I will have to do YOUR job for you, drive out to YOUR location to pick up the package that YOUR DELIVERY company was incapable of delivering. Absolutely useless company, cannot wait for the day they shut down.

    In May my husband and I used FedEx to send our passports to a visa agency in Virginia. After we didn't receive our passports back in a timely manner I called FedEx and was told that they accidentally got knocked into the trash and therefore never made it to the agency. Our passports were only two years old and therefore had eight more years left on them. Because of the carelessness of FedEx we had to apply for new passports.

    This was not that big of a problem for me but my husband has an Italian passport and in order to renew it we had to travel to another state and stay overnight in order to get it. I sent an e-mail to the CEO of FedEx and of course heard nothing. Then I sent a letter through snail mail and again nothing. The claims department did not want to do anything because they said that the passport agency that issued the label did not put a dollar amount on the package. I told them that I wanted to be reimbursed for both of the passports and all of the incidentals that involved us going out of state.

    Finally after fighting with them on the phone and threatening them with getting a lawyer they agreed to pay for the passports only. About a month ago I sent them a copy of my check that I used to pay for my new passport and I haven't heard a thing. They say that their claims are settled within five days. I feel that losing a government document like this is quite a big deal and they act like it happens everyday. I really don't know what to do anymore as calling them is a nightmare. Please help!

    Time & again when a vendor ships via FedEx I just want to cringe because their delivery service to our home is terrible. Years ago when the drivers weren't making any attempts to deliver I was able to talk to the terminal manager and he got it straightened out and delivery service was pretty good after that. Recently, the drivers are again not making much of an attempt to deliver packages to our home and I believe it is because the package they are supposed to deliver is the only one on the route on the way to our house, which is 25 miles from the nearest town. They will use all kinds of excuses why they didn't deliver the package.

    Once it was the package was "damaged" - one little dent in a corner of a foam filled box... no damage at all to the contents and so little to the box --- just a lazy driver. Another time the box "slipped" under the shelf in the truck and he couldn't see it. Still another time, the driver claimed he couldn't find our address... funny, UPS doesn't have a problem. Then there was the time that the driver called me at home and said he was turning around because he was having trouble with his truck. Today, the tracking said that the 32 inch by 50 inch by 2 inch box was "On FedEx vehicle for delivery" at 4:59 a.m. but it took till after 5:00 p.m. for the tracking to say it was being rescheduled to next business day (Monday). I called the terminal and was told they had to look on the dock.

    An hour and a half later I got a call from customer service telling me that the driver didn't have enough room on the truck so he left the package, but the tracking information was not updated for over 12 hours. And I am to assume there will be room on the truck on Monday? It probably was not our regular driver since he always seems to get caught delivering the packages the other drivers don't want to deliver and also hearing about our frustration. The package that was supposed to be delivered today was maybe 2 inches thick and would have slipped easily standing up between other boxes on the truck like a sheet of plywood. Again, I figure he just didn't want to drive the 25 miles out to our house.

    Anyway, now the representative has "elevated" the situation so that the package will be delivered tomorrow on Saturday. I told her about all of the ongoing problems we have had over the years with the drivers and how it was better for a while, but now it is back to the same old thing of not getting our packages even though they are "On FedEx vehicle for delivery". Very frustrating when you are waiting on a delivery that tracking states is coming so you wait all day and then nothing happens.

    The representative told me that the drivers are not their employees but rather are contract employees. Still, the drivers drive distinctive FedEx marked trucks and wear FedEx uniforms so FedEx should have some control over how they represent the company because what they do or do not do reflects on the company and many customers are dissatisfied. If there is someone else who supplies the drivers then they need to be held accountable for how the drivers do the job that the customers pay for.

    First of all I have been using FedEx since I started my business in 2006. The service has been top notch. Just recently the flat rate freight box has come out. This was a great idea and it will help me sell and ship the larger items we have to sell. NOW, here is the problem. NO One we talked to at the fedex freight customer service had the slightest idea of what it was. Our so called "account executive" is never in his office, out for two to three weeks at a time, on Vacation, Sick, etc. It took us six weeks to get an account set up, finally. This is after hours and hours of being on hold, talking to other executives from Fedex, and Customer service know-nothings. You have to have a special account number to use the flat rate freight box. It takes 24 hours for it to be set up... if you can get a hold of your rep.

    Now try to get the "free" boxes to ship in. That took four weeks. We are now set up BUT WAIT!!! You can't use your flat rate box to ship to yourself! I traveled halfway across the country to purchase inventory. Picked up two flat rate freight boxes at the terminal. Loaded the two flat rate boxes and called to have them picked up. Flew back home. Now I am getting charged regular shipping. You are not allowed to use the Flat rate to ship to yourself. Don't even try to contact Fedex Corporate offices... It is simply an automated phone loop.

There are four doors on the 3rd floor of my work place and anybody could have picked up the package and carried it away without my knowledge. Furthermore, there was no notice, no tag nothing to indicate that a package had even been delivered. As far as I know, the package was never delivered.

    Negative five stars. 1 star is 6 stars too many. No matter what the order is, which company it comes from, where in the world it's coming from, or how it's packaged before they even get their hands it, it sure seems to me like FedEx will destroy it. In the last few years, FedEx has stolen items from inside my packages, destroyed my packages, lost my packages, thrown packages at my front door from several feet away, left them on the shared front porch to be stolen [despite the bright red written plea in the window to not leave packages on the shared front porch], sent a 70+ yr old man to deliver a 100+lb solid wood bunk bed he couldn't get out of the truck without help (gladly given), and they have delivered barely intact boxes with broken contents. My overall shopping has greatly decreased due to being ripped off by FedEx. That sucks in rural, USA, where brick and mortar stores aren't in abundance and prices are higher.

    In my most recent experience with their unprofessionalism, I learned an expected package was being shipped by the offensive delivery service and there had been a "delivery exception". My package was destroyed and would not be delivered. I have contacted them via phone and via email on several occasions in the past and they have never failed to be exceedingly and unnecessarily rude to respectful inquiries. Their response is always a no-apologies brush-off, "contact the seller/distributor". Now they just put that in your delivery info so they don't have to actually say it to you themselves, as pictured. From now on I'm letting businesses know, I won't order if it's being shipped with FedEx. In my experience, they are by FAR the worst major shipping company.

    I have been waiting for a box to be delivered 7/18/17. This box contained medical supplies for me. The only way I can get this medical supplies is through the mail. You can't go to a store to buy this. So I have to wait for a delivery. I try to order this in plenty of time before I run out. I usually get delivery from UPS and Amazon is the place I order from. This time I got FedEx. What a mistake. I was looking at the tracking from FedEx on 7/18/17 and it said that my box was delivered. I was here with my wife waiting for this and never saw a FedEx truck all day. The message said delivered at 1:00 pm. I checked in at 2:00 pm online and called FedEx to find out what happened. It turned out I was lied to every time I spoke with a representative. A total of 6 reps. including 3 supervisors. I was told on my first call that they were calling their station and the deliveryman and get my package today. That never happened. Every rep. after that told a different story.

    Finally at around 6:30 pm I spoke with Alison someone with misplaced packages and she told me the delivery man left it at the wrong address. He thought it was a good idea to deliver this important medical supplies box which I need to survive on, to another address which turned out to be one street over from me. I guess that's ok. I guess this company thinks it's ok to screw me and leave my medical supplies at any damn address. Then I guess it's OK to lie to me so they can leave me hanging for another day so the delivery guy can deliver the rest of his packages. I am old and very ill. I need those medical supplies for my nutrition. The nerve of this crap company to leave hanging and then lie about it to the point it could cause me more harm.

    Now I'm told by Alison that they would deliver tomorrow. I am left with this bad taste in my mouth. They already lied to me multiple times. I need this drink for my survival. Leaving this box at someone else's home may mean that this party may open it to see what's inside. That means that I won't be able to use this product. That means I will have to reorder and wait for my money to be returned so I can reorder. In the meantime I WILL STARVE TO DEATH!!! You can't imagine the pain this will put me through and is already doing so. All that I have been given from FedEx is, "I'm sorry."

    I ordered a portable AC unit weighing 75lbs, the Fox River overflowed so all of our mechanics are under water, and it's summer so we need AC, my husband is disabled and can't take the heat. FedEx delivered it to the wrong address. I looked at my email at 12:15 pm and FedEx delivered it at 10:23 AM. So I had to walk through stagnant water up and down my street until I located it. I had to walk back home, get my car, drive to where they delivered it, and since I drive a 2 seater, I had to take it out of the box on this person's driveway, try and manhandle it into the front seat, drive through standing water, get it into my front yard, drive back to this person's house to pick up the box, wedge it into the car and drive back home.

    I don't know these people and while I was trying to get it into my car, I had passers by looking at me as if I was either stealing it or had lost my mind, I am in pretty good shape for a female, but trying to wedge a 75lbs portable floor AC unit into a Mustang took all of my strength and I pulled back muscle in the process. I called FedEx to complain and the CSR was very helpful, and said a supervisor would call me back. Reading some of the other reviews, I am not holding my breath. I have another delivery from work coming this week, I can wait to see where this one ends up and since its IT equipment if I will even find it.

    Worst possible experiences. Shipment 1 - The driver NEVER KNOCKED OR RANG DOORBELL. Left note on the backdoor saying retry wouldn't happen for 3 DAYS. WHAT!!! So we had to go pick it up 20 minutes away. Shipment 2 - Said it would be delivered between 8 am-10 am. NEVER SHOWED!!! So when I called they said a delivery attempt was made AGAIN. No Knock or ringing of the Doorbell and no notice for that one at all. So AGAIN we had to go pick it up 20 minutes away.

    Shipment 3/4 - We have 2 separate shipments that are supposed to come in today. One showed up and when I asked about the other one and if it was coming on a different truck his reply "I don't know." I would assume the truck drivers would know this answer but apparently I was wrong and it's already been delayed. It was supposed to be here by the 10th and then it changed to the 17th. I am so glad I never chose to ship through them. With UPS I have never had a problem. USPS is actually very fast and most of my customers will get their stuff in like 3 days!!!

    I have a package that FedEx was to deliver Thursday. Got confirmation, everything... Never came. Friday I call cuz the tracking says delivery option selected (Not of my doing) but to make it appear that I had changed the delivery, so now customer service sees this as my doing and it would be delayed. Again the change I made was on Monday the day it ship and was for evening delivery I had to pay extra for. Ultimately they assure me and sender it's on truck for delivery for Friday.

    Call off work now because they can't say when... And I have to sign for it. 8 pm comes and goes nothing. Friday call customer service. They tell me it was a mistake and it was out for delivery as we spoke for tomorrow's delivery. Again I wait 8 am-8 pm. Miss a couple jobs... Still nothing. Now they want me to call the shipper??? I guessing because it hasn't been scanned since Wednesday now Sunday it has been lost! Last time I used FedEx. They delayed it 2 days with the excuse that my address don't exist. After 4 people I find out no one to cover shift. This time is the last... bye bye FedEx.

    These people damaged my item and the package with poor handling even though there was no less than 12 Fragile stickers on the box. The claims dept is a joke. They don't tell you that you need a "Shipper" waiver before they settle a claim. Then they deny the claim. The Shipper has no Claim. It's my item that was damaged. The shipper didn't get screwed. I did. I will avoid this company at all cost. Sure things happen when you ship, but accept the responsibility of damaging my item and make it right. Why sell insurance if you're not gonna make it right? Sounds Like Fraud to me. Sell insurance and never pay out the claims. Possible Class action I think.

    If you can avoid them do it. The post office is much better, and cheaper. However, USPS doesn't accept items over a certain weight. I had to recently send an item back to a vendor only because it was delivered with stuff sticking out of the box. The box had been opened or became open, and the item was expensive.

    I constantly tracking my package with FedEx because they always leaves the package at the porch while there's a lot of bad people out there who always want to steal your package. So while tracking my package all of a sudden I got a Delivery exception that says "Customer not Available or Business Closed" and a recommended actions that says "Recommended action:ell Door tag will provide the time and address of the FedEx location where you may pick up your shipment, and also indicate if another delivery attempt will be made." I was at home all the time waiting and not a single doorbell ring or knocking on my door. Well I guess FedEx needs to eliminate their lazy workers who makes their customers suffer.

    So FedEx has a warranty on deliveries. I took the day off work because I had a scheduled delivery. I signed up for updates. I saw a FedEx delivery truck on my block at about 9 am. He drove past my residence and went down the block about 4 houses down. I figured he would go to my location next but just drove off. At 6:22 pm I get an update that they have the wrong address. I signed up for updates, it has the correct address. I called FedEx and the girl I talked to verified that FedEx does have the correct address and gave me a confirmation number and said she will contact the local FedEx. After some research I find out that this is their practice to getting around their delivery guarantee. Disgusting practice!!! Total liars. Now I don't know how I'm going to get my package because I have to work the rest of the week.

    Bad Treatment of Package and Awful Customer Service. I ordered my package over a month ago. When I contacted FedEx the first time it was to ask why my package hadn't arrived. I was rudely told that it was being shipped as a freight item (I wasn't aware that it was being shipped freight). Then when I asked why it couldn't just be dropped at my door in a box truck like my deliveries usually are, I was told in a very rude way that "That's not how freight works".

    After finally scheduling an appointment, I had a friend go to pick my package up since I couldn't be there and I got a phone call from them telling me my item was shattered. I refused it and it was again shipped freight, even though I specifically asked for it to be shipped in a box truck. After weeks of waiting it was delivered to an address I did not authorize for the shipping address to be changed to. And it's broken again. I have never dealt with a more awful, rude, and obviously careless company. I will never use them again.

    Have had ebay for 5 years now. I ship 10 packages a week. About 4 or 5 through FedEx. First time in 5 years I had to file a claim after thousands and thousands I pay to ship, pay for insurance etc. And I have been on the phone for 7 hours trying to get a claim filed for a $420 trying to get $225 back after 7 hours of figuring out nothing, all they can tell me is I have to wait until Monday morning. Are you ** kidding me. 5 years, 5 packages a week, 4 times a month times 12 months a year is 1200 package at roughly $25-$50 dollars. A package $36,000 dollars and I have to sit on the phone for 7 hours to try and refund someone's item that your company broke. Over 225 dollars out of the 36000 I have sent.

    I promise you one thing I will never spend another dime with fedex neither will my family. After 5 years and that much money from 1 person. I wouldn't recommend this company to a dog. Then the 10th person I talk to states he don't care how long I sit on the phone he will keep refreshing the call every 15 mins because he would not send me to someone in charge.

So here it is 2 o'clock I've waited all morning the package did come but this is not for me or my address. I called the lady. Her name and address and phone number are on the label. I told her I got her package. I wanted to take it to her but it's big maybe it's a mattress. For some reason FedEx decided to write my name in my address on the label.

    Tracking a shipment from/to the opposite coast is like watching paint dry - or at the very least, watching yourself drive your own package, mile after mile after mile... It didn't occur to me (nor was I ever told) that the new laptop I had just purchased (and really had a need for, and quickly) would take a full 10 days to receive, from the day I paid for it. Sellers should NOT use FedEx Ground for long distance shipments - especially for a $20 charge to the customer. 10 days is absolutely unacceptable in this day and age, when we are so accustomed to 1 and 2-day delivery from so many online retailers.

    I have used FedEx for 20 years - exclusively! - as USPS and UPS are so hopeless in South Florida. I will NEVER USE FEDEX AGAIN! After much research and questioning, I was assured by FEDEX reps that the 3-Day Ground shipment (it was imperative that it arrive correctly for my business) would arrive by the end of the 3rd business day. Now I've found out that it will arrive fully one week after shipment! I took into account the 4th of July Holiday and was still ASSURED by the representatives at the North Miami Beach facility that all of Wed/Thurs/Fri would count as the 3 days as I'd dropped it off on the Monday evening. They recommended I wait until after 6 pm so that it would not sit in a truck in the heat over the holiday next day. They assured me it would go out Wednesday and be in NYC by 6 pm on Friday.

    They lied - or else they didn't care enough to teach their employees to give a damn about the info they give clients. Apparently, all their info was untrue. I absolutely HAD to have it in NYC by 6 pm on Friday. They assured me it would. When I phoned up the 800 number to complain, they not only would not listen, they just kept repeating the same (now uselessly) corrected info with NO APOLOGY and NO ACCEPTANCE OF THEIR OWN MISTAKE nor CULPABILITY!!! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! And for that we spent $35!!! Would also not refund our money, of course!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

    FedEx has a policy where they can just leave an item on a doorstep when no one is present as long as there is no signature required. This is both a good and bad thing. I've experienced on more than one occasion (both with FedEx and UPS) where they have done this. The problem was that they weren't at the correct address as 99% of the time someone is at home and have had multiple times where tracking shows item as being delivered (left at door no signature required) and there was no package to be found. It’s one thing to deal with submitting a claim for an item that is received damaged or showing as not having been delivered but it is a strenuous task to try and submit a claim for an item that shows was delivered but was actually never delivered.

    A PACKAGE (critical medicine) was sent next day delivery from AHG for a 10:30 am delivery. The package needed my signature. At 10:15 am I received an email saying that FedEx attempted to deliver the package but they were unable to get a signature. I waited at home for the package & FedEx never attempted to make a delivery nor did they leave a delivery attempt notice on the door. I called FedEx and The call was routed to Mexico. I asked to speak to a supervisor in the United States & was assured that the would do so. I was transferred to an international supervisor in Mexico. I asked again to be transferred to a supervisor in the United States. The supervisor in Mexico argued with me but eventually transferred me.

    The supervisor in the United States contacted dispatch here in Columbus and told me that they would call me within 1 1/2 hours. I told the supervisor that this was unacceptable and I wanted to be transferred to dispatch. I also requested to file a grievance with FedEx. The grievance number is **. After receiving a lot of resistance I was transferred to dispatch. I was told FedEx would contact the driver and contact me with an estimated delivery time. They also mentioned that the driver was a temporary driver. At 11:30 am the driver showed up with the package. I questioned him about the first attempt & he said he couldn't get into the secured building because he didn't have a fob. He said he had to go and get the fob from the regular driver who was apparently on vacation. He said that delivery was not guaranteed and it wasn't his problem he didn't have the fob.

    FedEx & UPS enter the building daily. He also admitted to not making an attempt to call me either. NOTE: THE SAME THING HAPPENED LAST MONTH when I was waiting for my medicine. FedEx assured me it wouldn't happen again. I think FedEx is not able to make their delivery time and this is what they do to make it look like it was the customer's fault so they are not liable. I won't be using FedEx ever again.

    I will never use FedEx again. I have called 4 times in the past 24 hours because I have been waiting on a package. I spoke with someone yesterday and asked if the package would need a signature because no one was going to be available to sign for it. The rep said no that there was no signature needed. I instructed that they leave it at the back door. She said that would not be a problem. She put all the notes in the system. Well today when the package was to be delivered it said it could not because no one was home. So I called 5 minutes after the driver attempted to leave the package. I spoke with customer service, and they called the base from where the package was coming from, and I was told the driver was still in the area, that he would return and leave the package at the back door. Well now it is 430 and just got home and my package was not there.

    I called again, and this time was not the nicest. I spoke with a gentleman that was very rude and said that it was the drivers discretion to leave the package. I asked if he could transfer me over to the base where the package was coming from, and he said he will call first and make sure they want to speak with you. REALLY!!! The guy comes back on the phone and said that there is nothing they can do. That whoever spoke with me earlier, lied and said that they never told the driver to turn around. He said he saw on the notes for the driver to leave the package at the back door. Well, I then got sent to a supervisor that told me it's up to the driver to leave the package. If he doesn't want to leave it, he doesn't have to. I explained this is why I called yesterday to make sure this does not happen, and he said "oh well nothing else we can do."

    That is poor customer care at its finest! I had everything arranged with notes in the system to leave the package, but because the guy did not want to unload 4 boxes he didn't drop them off. Said it would be the same thing tomorrow. That it would be up to the driver that was running the truck. So basically, they do not care at all, and that is why I WILL NEVER USE FEDEX AGAIN!

FedEx does not seem to care or have a system in place that keeps all employees accountable. Employee makes us drive an hour to pick up our package only to find out that the driver took it anyways. Employee tells us to come next day then says the next day we can't. Employee tells me to head home for 2 hours to receive package only to tell me the driver was never headed back to my home. I love Jesus, I am a good person, I've never yelled so loud in my life. Like there is no way a company can have so many employees who have no idea what's going on with the driver or package. Having my husband and I driving around town, missing hours of work, days of the run around to get a package.

    It's just incredibly shocking how many employees gave us the wrong information and had no idea how to get us to the package until we completely lost our patience. I truly hope FedEx can get it together. It's shocking with the technology we have to be so clueless about helping your customers get their packages. No remorse on each mistake.
