On 11/18/15 at 5:41 p.m. your driver is in violation of criminal trespassing and charges could be filed at this time. Driver is recorded on video, pulling onto drive, comes to 3 ft from front door, while talking on phone, throws package on front door and leaves. Had this driver been caught, the truck would have been blocked in and seized, until driver arrested and charged criminal trespassing and court order to release. Again FEDEX has not got the message and continues to drive on my driveway causing cracks from overweight trucks on drive. At this time, the notice and complaint will be filed with the FCC. This complaint will be copied and pasted on FCC complaint to assure FEDEX has received more than ample notice that their drivers will be charged with criminal trespassing if ever return back to this property again.
I will make complaint at this time to Fayette County Sheriffs office, so that when your drivers return they will be arrested on the spot. Complaint of trespassing will become a criminal action upon entrance to location. I make every effort to assure that no shipper will ever ship by FEDEX to this address, this includes every division of FEDEX. I can not however control how others may attempt to send me a package. Therefore FEDEX needs to advise all subcontractors or affiliates that they are subject to arrest if they return to this address.
I have UPS deliveries almost every day and can tell you for over 9 years their software allows drivers to be alerted not to drive on driveway. FEDEX is massively behind by years and losing massively as a result. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY FEDEX EVER. AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE FEDEX HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY WARNED.

A computer manufacturer sent me a box to send in a notebook for service. After multiple complaints I finally got it but so late I had to get a box and mail it myself. The manufacturer did a one day turnaround and returned notebook by overnight FedEx. Waited 13 hours next day. Never delivered and FedEx does not know why. Lost. Stolen? Who knows. Tracking terminated. Add me to those who really despise FedEx.

I needed 200 prints. I was quoted $430+, which was out of my budget. I was then quoted a price of $250 for 150 on cheaper paper and I also ordered a poster online. It was suppose to be done by 4pm. Got a call at 3pm, the order wouldn't "print" correctly so I left work to inquire, since the sample earlier printed fine. Fold and stapling made it off centered. I directed Gabriel ** to go ahead and "print" I will fold them myself.
I came back at 4, not ready and no poster. At 4:45 checking out I'm told the price is $436 something. Not the price I was quoted and didn't do any of the work that I required. She then decided to I guess get rid of me and charged me $193.98. I read the receipt. It says that it was a deposit on an order. When I got home to view the prints they're dull and not clear. I look at the sample print from earlier and it's totally different. I was given copies instead of prints and the quality is horrible. I can not use these for the memorial service. I now have to go to Office Depot to get my obituaries printed correctly. I would like a full refund, they can have the copies.

FedEx was supposed to deliver my package on a Friday. Put a tracker on it and stayed at work 3 hours after I got off work... in the parking lot. At 7:00 FedEx said they tried to deliver but business was closed. Lie #1. Then I called on Monday to find out about it. They are off on Monday for home delivery. So it should be scheduled for Tuesday, right? I've tracked it all day Tuesday only to find that package is STILL at the facility and not even on a truck. Once again, I get off work in 3 minutes and will sit in the parking lot only to have them not deliver it again?

I will never use FedEx again. My daughter shipped 3 packages from Tucson to Nashville. The packages were labeled correctly but FedEx shipped 2 of them to the return address for some reason. Keep in mind I paid to have them shipped. FedEx failed and they actually wanted me to pay again because they screwed up. I took the packages to UPS because I was not going to pay FEDEX twice for their error. UPS got them there in 2 days.

Happened to look at my credit card statement and see that the FedEx charge for an item had mysteriously DOUBLED from the "estimated" charge I paid online for! I weighed my item, used there box, filled in all the information and generated a shipping label. Dropped it off at the local center and then got smacked with a 100% in hidden undisclosed fees?!? This is lawsuit material... I called and there is a "residential" charge, and a "fuel surcharge" and "tax charge"??? ALL UNDISCLOSED. And of course they bill your card after the fact and you have no recourse. I will never use FedEx again. Highly disappointed!! Horrible consumer ethics.

We are a company that does a lot of shipping to customer and to and from our suppliers. FedEx offered us a decent rate to go with them. They have gotten worse and worse with their shipping. The final straw was two weeks ago (Nov. 6) when we shipped to a customer. One of the three packages - a wooden crate of 20x20x18 - was opened, apparently gone through and then when they could not completely close the crate correctly, they packed the entire thing in a cardboard box and taped it up.
When the customer opened the box we found out what had happened and he called us. We immediately called FedEx and after talking with three people I was told that based on their information the crate had not been repacked. They gave me a case number and promised to look in to the problem and would contact me in 24 to 48 hours. I did not hear from them so I called again. After being shuffled around I finally talked with someone who said the same thing again, they would check the locations the crate had changed hands and call back in 24-48 hours. That was a week ago and no work from them at all.
I have now put in a claim to get money for the equipment that has been lost. We would rather have the lost equipment since it is manufactured by our supplier in Denmark and takes a while to get the new equipment, plus having to pay shipping, duty and taxes again from Denmark into the U.S. The customer needs the equipment to do the installation on his boat. We are having to send him a temporary part from our demo unit until we can get a new part from Denmark. As a small company, we cannot afford to have a shipping company lose, break or deliver late or to the wrong address any of our equipment. FedEx is not friendly to small business at all. They have drivers who are not careful with packages, who are lazy and who aren't smart enough to figure out where an address is. We have had enough of this and are going to take our shipping needs elsewhere.

We were waiting for our delivery Saturday. The driver placed an attempt to deliver on our door and didn't knock! I have dogs, they didn't bark because he never knocked! I saw the note on my door when I was going outside with my dogs around 10:35 a.m. I called customer service and ask the representative to help me to get my package by picking it up instead and he said that the origination FedEx receiving in my city was closed (at 11:00 a.m) and that it would be delivered a Tuesday! I asked if I could do something else and he said I could transfer the package to be deliver to a closer station so I could pick it up the same Saturday. Well, I waited the whole day to later be told by FedEx customer service that the original service station has been open that day until 6. That they don't know why the representative told me that and that when I request a transfer package it takes around 24 hrs to be done, so that I would still get my package on Tuesday.
To make things worst I have to say that the 1st representative that I spoke with didn't speak English. My husband was trying to seek to him, and he just couldn't communicate effectively. I took the call because I'm bilingual and not even I could understand him, I asked him to speak Spanish to me and then we could finally had a conversation that made sense. HOWEVER this person, even after I spoke and explain things in SPANISH, I don't think that he had a knowledge of his work or operations, he was the one that told me to send the package to another location when I could just had pick it up that day and he said I couldn't because it was closed. (That station was not closed; he gave me wrong information) and because of him I couldn't get my package on time.
So int his intense 2 employees at FedEx messed up a denier; First the Driver for not doing his work, and second the CUSTOMER SERVICE representative that did not gave me accurate information and made things worst. Oh, and when I called back to make a formal complaint, the 2nd CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE was another hispanic that didn't speak good English! I am bilingual, I expect a customer service person to speak proper English if she is working in The USA. Has FedEx taken their service call Department to Mexico or other out of country location? Don't use FedEx! Use UPS!! Or even USPS; they have great service.

FedEx hung my package on our rural fence where dogs could reach the package, rather than use the provided, legal package delivery container. Dogs destroyed my package and product of course, so I filed a claim with FedEx. Which was promptly denied. I have now filed with the BBB against FedEx and I have been doing some reading up. FedEx has an ABYSMAL delivery record and I am told they rarely pay a claim. When you order something online, make absolutely sure the business you order from is NOT using FedEx. If they are... order your item elsewhere!!

Following the shipping notification for my purchases, I saw that the items were being shipped separately in two packages. Luckily they were scheduled to be delivered on the same day and it so happened I was home that day... all day. I live in an apartment building which is on an busy city street lined with apartment buildings. My building is secure with an entry way and a lobby both of which a guest must be buzzed through. The door bell system is also tied into my smart phone so when the door bell rings it registers as an incoming call. By 4 pm when my bell still had not rung, I looked at the tracking info. Imagine my surprise when it said both packages had been delivered at 10:47 am and left at the front door. Now I had already been down to collect my mail around noon and did notice several packages for other residence but none for me so seeing that I went back down to the lobby, the entry way and the front of the building... nothing.
I called FedEx, they told me to look in the yard and ask my neighbors... I live in a city apartment building, what yard, city - neighbors, did they want me to knock on every door in the building? After two calls they agreed to track the packages by speaking with the driver. After two days, they called back to tell me that the driver said he left both packages at the mailboxes of a brick apartment building. All the buildings on the street are brick! And the mailboxes are in the second lobby not at the front door as it said on the shipping information. Also, who buzzed him in, it was not me. The CS rep suggested that I must have missed the door bell despite the fact that I told her the door bell rings my cell phone and there was no missed call. Then she said that was all they could do and I should contact the retailer.
When I asked why I should contact the retailer when it was FedEx who is responsible for delivering, she told me that speaking with the driver is all they do and to pursue any further action I would need to put in a claim for reimbursement. First of all, it was like speaking to a recording, it didn't matter what I told her she repeated the same thing, "The driver said he left the packages by the mailboxes." Secondly, she continued to imply that it wasn't really FedEx's problem because as far as they were concerned the packages were delivered. The whole experience was a frustrating exercise... from the beginning I could tell they weren't going to find the packages or take responsibility for them.
Amazingly, the retailer will reimburse me and since these were gifts for an upcoming shower they will send the merchandise to my nearest store so I can get them on time and more importantly won't have to contend with FedEx. It is unfortunately that this retailer uses FedEx because it means that I will no longer shop online with them or any other retailer who uses FedEx to deliver. What a horrible company and what terrible terrible customer service... an example of a business too big to think that it matters if they are bad at what they do!

I recently ordered a tablet computer from Amazon which was delivered via FedEx Ground. FedEx Ground damaged the computer by crushing the package as was clearly evident by markings and distortion of the package. Upon this realization, I contacted the seller and was given a Return Merchandise Authorization. I then SAT and waited for several days without hearing anything further. I then contacted the seller who ask me if I had been contacted by FedEx.
The following week I found a crumpled and weathered door tag on the driveway. I had no idea of whether it was even related to me or my address or was simply a blown scrap piece of paper. Since it contain no information relative to me and it was essentially blank, I discarded it. 2 days later I saw another door tag this time in a flower bed. At this time I concluded that it must be related to me in some way. But it contained no information or directions. I immediately emailed FedEx to inquire about the door tag number. I received a non-reply email from FedEx indicating that it pertained to the RMA including its tracking number and the RMA number.
With this information, I called FedEx to ask if I could simply drop the package off at a local FedEx facility and thereby quickly resolve the issue. The FedEx representative told me that I could drop off the package at the Holly hall facility here in Houston. Thrilled, drove to that location and presented the package to the lady at the counter. She indicated that she could not accept the package and she mentioned something about it being an Express. At that point I was thoroughly confused because she did not consult the computer or look up any information regarding the tracking number. She told me that I would have to take it to a shipping or drop off location.
I returned home and eventually I found a drop off location in a strip mall. I called that facility to ask if I could drop the package off there and I told them the circumstances. The representative sarcastically told me that that was their reason for being in business and that of course I could drop it off there. This time, less thrilled I drove to that location and the 8300 block of Main Street only to be told that I would have to buy a box and pay the shipping charges back to the seller. Again there seem to be no understanding of what the RMA authorization meant. I knew that the information that the employee gave me was incorrect.
So I determined to seek further information from the seller and FedEx. FedEx left two door tags. But I have no idea what to do. Multiple calls to FedEx gave me multiple directions of what to do. I was told that the driver would have to pick up the baggage and print a mailing label. Only the driver could print the mailing label. The people at the FedEx locations that I've visited could not print the mail slip. After a week, the situation continues unresolved.

I have tried begging the FedEx drivers here in Ga. to please put the packages they bring to leave them on the floor inside my house. They refuse. In fact one gave me the finger. In Florida they are very courteous and they were more than willing to put the packages inside. I use a cane, cannot bend, and I am unable to lift. I feel that Those Drivers should respect people more. I think that FedEx should not be allowed to deliver packages. UPS and the USPS put packages inside for me. It is just the Rude FedEx People That are as nice as the Plague.

I work for a local architect firm. We had a driver arrive, grab and scan a VERY important overnight envelope meant for UPS. I called FedEx customer service 4 times and each rep assured me that the driver would be back to drop off the package he grabbed by mistake. After 2 hours of waiting after hours on a Friday night, the driver never came. No one could explain to me why each rep gave false information and each one passing the blame to another. I drove 40 minutes to get the package from the FedEx hub without 1 apology. I find this to be beyond, "Very dissatisfied with the experience." I will do everything in my power to NEVER use them again if I can help it, as well as share my experience with others.

I am very frustrated with FedEx and the delivery of my order. The East St. Louis facility called me last Friday night (Oct. 30) to tell me the address on my order was incorrect and the driver couldn't find my home (in reality the address is correct). They then said the item would be delivered on Saturday, Oct. 31. It was not delivered. I then contacted Fed Ex chat on Monday, Nov. 1, giving them explicit directions to my home and was told someone would call me about the delivery in 2 hours - I did not receive any call. The delivery was then rescheduled for yesterday, and it never came. FedEx has my phone number and if the driver can't find my home, he could easily call me for directions. I've lived here approximately 30 years; UPS can find my home, as can the mail carrier. I don't want to order online from retailers using FedEx because I don't want the headache of their incompetency. I'm now waiting to see if the package will be delivered today.

Here is my problem and I'm sure no one will do anything about it but I feel I must send this anyway. I set up a pick up yesterday at our warehouse location like I do any other day, whether the customer requests UPS or FedEx. And scheduled my pick up as I always do, then took my package to its normal pick up location, as I always do so that it could wait to be picked up. But when I arrived this morning, the package was still in the same location and had not been picked up. Now this has happened on numerous occasions and no one ever does anything about it, and well quite frankly I am sick and tired of this happening.
I am using an express service because I need what I am shipping to arrive where I've sent it in a faster time. And I feel as an express service you should want to make sure this happens for the customers as we are paying a much higher rate for this service instead of sending the shipment ground! This was a 2 day shipment that will now take 3 unless as I was told by the customer service operator on the phone this morning, who also didn't give a care in the world about my now destined to be late package, I could change to an overnight service. Seriously, now my company has to pay the extra high price of overnight because one of your carrier decided not to pick my package up?! What kind of logic is that??
I already have to give the customer some kind of discount to help repair the fact that they are not going to receive the materials they ordered in time for the medical research project they are working on. And you're going to say that they called here... They did not, we checked the caller IDs on all the phones in our building and there are no calls from FedEx... Also when you call our system it gives you an option for shipping and they would be my phone and I didn't not receive any calls from FedEx about this pick up! It's pretty ridiculous that this continues to happen. This is the reason we are very limited in our use of your "Services" as we have found them to be so unreliable.

This is the return item letter I sent out from an item I ordered from Amazon. Pretty much sums it up. Unbelievable. "FedEx is returning this item to you today. The delivery was stated for 5-7 business days, which I would be back in town for and the driver attempted delivery the next day. I requested that it be sent to a specific location by me to be picked up, the driver said that would be fine. It was then delivered back to their major warehouse for me to pickup. I called this morning to verify that it was ready and they were open and they said 9 am to 9 pm.
Surprised they were open on a Sunday, I called again to verify and was given the same information. I drove an hour to that location to pick it up to have all of the gates locked. When I called again they said I was given the wrong information and they are closed on Sundays. I told them to return the package to you because I am traveling for the next month and could not come back to pick it up again and that I would never deal with their incompetent company again. I am still interested in this item as it is a gift but unless it can be shipped another way, I will have to get a refund and purchase from another seller. I would strongly consider using another service for your deliveries. What I experienced today was completely unacceptable. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. Thank you."

We ordered some expensive equipment via Amazon Prime (10/28), which was supposed to be delivered in 2 days (10/30). Amazon Prime was spot on having it shipped. However, they mistakingly chose FedEx ground for the carrier. Package was put on local FEDEX truck at 8:11 am, all the while status stating "out for delivery". At 7:01 pm (actually didn't received notice until 7:20 pm) a "delivery exception" was put on the package. Because this has happened numerous times, I have the phone # to the FEDEX local hub. Line just kept ringing busy. Called 1-800 FEDEX and they told me they couldn't get through either and that the hub would not read their messages until Tuesday.
Now our package states that it won't be delivered until Tuesday (11/3) by the end of the day. We had some bad rain in Austin on Friday, however, UPS was delivering packages in our neighborhood ALL DAY. There was no flooding where we live. Oh no, not FEDEX. If the weather in Alaska is bad, they post a message saying there are weather delays. If Amazon Prime continues to use FEDEX, we will close our Amazon Prime account.

Fedex is THE MOST annoying to deal with! If I purchase an item from a seller who deals with Fedex again, I will cancel my order and go elsewhere. These people need to obtain better communication and learn about how their company IS RUN! PITIFUL!!! The drivers half-follow instructions... simple instructions. Incompetency is a great thing in the U.S. When you follow your tracking and then call Fedex customer service number, the tracking may show and state two different information about when the package is to arrive. The driver that delivered my package about 1 month ago and which was on a Friday, tried to be slick by stating that the "customer is not available".

I purchased an item of fly fishing tackle from John Norris of Penrith, a large on-line seller in the UK. I was charged 33.00 GBP for shipping to Canada. I was contacted by an employee of FedEx who asked for prepayment of taxes and fees of $80.98 Canadian. I told her that I would be glad to pay these charges when the item was successfully delivered, and that I would not prepay them. I was told that delivery could be withheld if I did not prepay. I was told that if my home was outside the delivery area for FedEx, then the item would be passed to a secondary courier and delivery would be withheld if I did not prepay.
I objected to this extortion. I contacted the seller in the UK and related my experience and asked for their assistance with FedEx. I received an e-mail from FedEx warning me that I could be subject to an administration fee of 53.00 GBP plus VAT if FedEx explored my complaint. I contacted the seller again and forwarded to them the threat of the administration fee. John Norris is approaching this matter as illegal behavior on the part of FedEx. Extortion and threats are unacceptable business practices in any country.

Don't know what is wrong with FedEx. I used to admire this company because of its name and brand but I used them twice and both the time got bad experience. This time I sent documents to India with their Guaranteed delivery date and paid 83$ because these were important documents and need to reach home ASAP but still they missed them in the way. It took them 4 days to even find the whereabouts of the document and found out that they sent the documents to Ireland instead of India. It seems for them all countries are same as long as name starts with "I". Don't know how their logistics work. They charge extra just to fool people. Still waiting to get my documents but I swore not to use them again. They consistently keep 100% track record of giving me hard time.

I ordered a large amount of coffee from Keurig. It was scheduled to be delivered on Saturday 10/24/15 to my work address - which happens to be a hotel, obviously open 24/7. However, when I was going in on Sunday to pick up my order, I checked the tracking and found the following message: "Customer Not Available or Business Closed" and time of delivery 10:48 a.m. YEP... Apparently we are the only hotel in the world that is closed on a Saturday morning! We have both valet service and our front desk staff, again, all are 24/7. Obviously the lazy driver decided it was too much hassle to both dropping off the box. I called FedEx and some woman tried to blame it on Keurig saying they use "home delivery". And although I had a business address, it cannot now be delivered until Tuesday as "home delivery" isn't available on Monday. YAY for FedEx. Find some other shipper if you really want to get your package on time!

Terrible customer service. Never again.
P.S. No matter how many different ways you try to tell me, there's no way you can convince me that leaving a package in front of the door of a apartment complex is the same as leaving it at my front door. Something I paid money for shouldn't be left outside for someone to potentially take or be damaged. Again terrible customer service down to the call center and management! At least in Connecticut.

I am still at a loss as to why anyone uses FedEx or how they stay in business for that matter. I am sitting at home waiting for delivery for a package which requires my signature. I received a recording saying the package would be out today. I called the center and received another message that says it will be out today. I waited to speak to a human who says there's no guarantee it will be out today and that scheduled delivery is actually tomorrow. He further states this package cannot be delivered to one of their facilities where I can go pick it up. I understand that as a recipient of a package I am an insignificant and unwilling bystander but this does not appear to be an ethical or professional way to conduct business.
I am writing this review/complaint in hopes that retailers will consider options other than FedEx for shipping. I try to verify which carrier a given retailer uses and I avoid patronizing retailers that use FedEx. In this case the value outweighed the inconvenience. At least with all this time on my hands I was able to do something constructive and write this review. I guess I will go wash my dogs and change the oil on my cars.

We are suppose to get one consignment vide airway bill no. ** booked from eBay on 18 October. We were provided one link to track the shipment. On 21 it was showing on transit and by evening it was showing delivery except, future delivery requested. Next day it was a holiday (Dussehra). My wife contacted their customer care center and was told that the shipment will be delivered by the same day (23 Oct). After constantly tracking the shipment, in the evening I received a message - Customer not Available or Business Closed. The fact is that my wife and kids were at home throughout the day and there was no attempt made or phone call received the same day.
The status seems to be updated as per the convenience of their staff. It does not show the actual reasons.

I fail to understand that you give to FedEx two bags in Dothan, Alabama to ship to Chicago. Both bags are scanned. Three days later one bag shows up and the other has not. In calling FedEx they state: Well the bags was scanned in Dothan but we do not know anything else. What color is it, does it have a name on it..... and all relative information. But my point is the consumer now pays more in insurance than the actual cost of shipping a bag. If you give someone a box - and it does not arrive via all the scans the consumer literally loses thousands since a piece of luggage is $500 itself, and then add the clothes..... I might as well leave a bag on the side of the road and ask for someone to deliver it to me.

FedEx delivered a package from Italy and only made one attempt to deliver it. They had the wrong phone number from the shipper, so I did not receive any calls, and they subsequently sent it to a holding facility 10 minutes from my house. I tracked down the package and was told that it would cost $36 for them to ship from the holding facility to my house. The 19lb package was delivered the next day, although I never was told that it would be overnighted, just that it would cost $36. I looked at my bank statement and noticed they charged me $227. When I called a representative, she said they had nothing mentioned about the $36 fee and that because it was overnighted, it was my responsibility to pay $227. Why ever would i agree to $227 when I could have picked it up myself. They are complete thieves. This is more than it cost to ship from Italy. I am beyond livid and will never use FedEx again.

I recently ordered a bicycle online, and tracked it through FedEx. The day it was supposed to arrive my husband was home all day. At the end of the day the tracker updated and said the bike had been delivered and dropped off at door, only we never received it. We contacted FedEx who told us they would have to do a 48hr investigation and that they would contact us at the end of the second day. We didn't hear from them so we called the next morning only to have them tell us that they would call by the end of the day, which they did to tell us that they are no longer looking into the situation and closing the investigation as a lost package, that we would have to get with the company who sold us the bike and have them send a complaint to FedEx.
We tracked that bike all the way to FedEx, aren't they then responsible from there with merchandise? The holidays are coming and if this is how they are running things at their company, then we need to worry about all the kids "lost" toys. Am I right in thinking that FedEx has a responsibility to reimburse the customer for the lost item? Any thoughts you have would really be appreciated. If anything, I just don't want this to happen to anyone else especially during the holidays. Thank you.

The representative told me that it is at a ground warehouse and I can't pick it up there. I did not know that it takes three attempts until the package is held at a FedEx location. He didn't tell me that until later in the conversation. If I would had known earlier, it would had avoided the dissatisfaction of the call. He also said that I couldn't be heard in the phone.

Their investigation confirmed that it had indeed been delivered to my address. Guess what? It had been delivered by mistake to my neighbor's house, a neighbor who never really uses his front door. So I called FedEx to report this, and they insist that it was delivered to my (the correct) address. I told them they were wrong. They kept insisting it was delivered to the right address.

Today I postponed doing a major medical procedure that could kill me if I don't get it done. I opened my gate and locked up my dog. When it got to be 5:30 and no package, I called them which in itself is very difficult because of their impossible automated answering services. They first lied and said I had no packages to be delivered. When I insisted, they said on, "The packages were left in your garage between 2 and 3". That was not what they agreed to do. They said they would deliver it to my door. So they said they would be here in an hour to bring the packages from my garage to my front door. I waited more than an hour and went through the same upsetting process again. This time I was lied to again and the packages didn't come and the driver did not come back.
So again I called and went through the same annoying process and another agent lied to me and said there was no delivery. I asked to talk to a supervisor and someone named "Billy" (no last names give, but he did give me a location ID of SALRC. Refused to email me a confirmation of our conversation or his promise to have my packages delivered to my door tomorrow. I really don't think they will do it.

Today I was expecting a package to be delivered. I was home ALL DAY waiting for the package. No one knocked on my door, no slip was left on my door, yet according to tracking info FedEx claims this package was delivered to my front door. I was anxious (and in desperate need) for the arrival of the package. I constantly opened my front door all day to just check to see if my package was here. I have looked outside both doors so many times today my neighbor probably think I'm insane.
I contacted FedEx. They gave me a Case ID number. They said someone should call me by the next business day (tomorrow). That is all well and good except that I am a chronic pain patient due to spinal disease. The item I ordered was to assist in relieving some pain & help me sleep. NO, IT IS NOT MEDICATION.
This has been a CONSISTENT problem with FedEx for over a year now. Every time I order something and FedEx is the delivery company (something I have no control over) items either NEVER arrive or the tracking info says the item was delivered on this day when in fact the item will take several more days to arrive. The last time this happened and I made a complaint the tracking info said "item was delivered on the dock". I live nowhere near any area that we would have a "dock". I live in a single story home on a normal residential street.
I have had it with FedEx in every single way. This is very unprofessional. Companies are certainly receiving constant complaints about packages not being delivered by FedEx. Services are NOT being rendered. Packages just go missing randomly? Packages are delivered, yet mysteriously are invisible or there is a mistake consistently in delivery/tracking information?
If this was an isolated incident I would be understanding. However, the fact that as a chronic pain patient it is easier for me to order items to be delivered to my home due to difficulty walking and never receiving a single item shipped by FedEx on time or sometimes not at all is beyond a minor problem. This is a MAJOR ISSUE with this company. My street sign is clearly visible. My house number is clearly visible on my mailbox and on my house by the front door.
When I receive a package delivered by UPS if they say it has been delivered, then it has been delivered! I can set my clock to UPS delivery times. If the USPS says an item has been delivered then it has been delivered! I wish every company would just stop using FedEx for their parcel deliveries and let the professionals at UPS handle it.

In fact the management showed up around 12:40ish to check them. During their visit my door was left wide open. The vents were clean.
So I waited some more. Ordered pizza. The pizza delivery guy shows up and while paying him I notice a notice on my door. No. you have got to be kidding me? The driver had left his number on the note (one for their office in Woodbridge) and I called him. I could not understand a word he was saying at first and, to my shame, I did demand he speak English. He was speaking English, but at a high-rate, like a machine gun, which does not work well when both parties have cell phones. He said he had knocked and that he was no longer in the area. But was willing to meet me somewhere to deliver the package to me. I asked if he would deliver the package and he said he could try again on the weekend. I wasn't going to be here on the weekend and called the 800 number. It seems, as I waited for a live operator, that the computer alerted me to the fact that the driver had tried to deliver the package at 12:44... Really?
I finally got somebody real but she could not help me. She could send the deliver a request to redeliver but not get a reply - the drivers were contractors and there was no system set up for two-way communication. I called again just now, around 5:20 and another operator said, no, he had not heard any reply yet but that the driver had till 9:30 PM to deliver the package. So here I wait. I assume if it is not delivered before nightfall I should just tell them to forget and tell the seller that FedEx refused to deliver the package. NOT couldn't, but wouldn't.

Moving along, I bring it in the house and proceed to open it, as I remove the blankets and bubble wrap I used to pack it, I noticed the screen was hanging forward and broken. It looked like someone beat it with a bat and drove over it with the truck.
The box stated "flat panel tv kit, fragile" in huge bold letters on the outsides of the box. The tv was also protected with 8 point protection foam and plastic wrap. I contacted FedEx and opened a claim because I had insured my tv. The claims representative requested pictures of my tv and the box and what I used to package it, so per her request, I provided them. I had made it clear in my photo attachments that I had thrown away the bubble wrap because I cut it off the tv and wasn't expecting to see what I had saw.
After a month, I didn't hear anything and contacted them to find out the status of my claim and I was told they were continuing with the claim. A week later I received a letter stating they denied my claim because I didn't package it properly. Yes I did! My package wasn't handled properly, otherwise the box too would not have been damaged the way it was. Also, the driver lied and said that he had multiple delivery attempts which was not true and apparently they get paid more every time they have to re deliver things.
And so they charged me about 3 times what I was quoted. So not only was my tv completely damaged by a neglectful delivery team, I was also targeted and a victim of fraud. Good thing I paid attention to the tracking and was able to dispute the charges but that still doesn't take care of what they did to my tv or my experience. I find it breath taking that such a well known company can treat customers this way and get away with it.

I pre-ordered an Apple iPhone a week or more ago after a year of really wanting the new iPhone 6 plus. Well, my current phone decided that it wanted to stop functioning and I ran out of storage. So finally I broke down and decided to splurge on myself for my birthday. I bought the Iphone6S plus (Just an FYI I was beyond excited and still am.) This is the most expensive thing I've bought in about 2 years. But now the problem comes with the delivery, which is by no means Apple's fault. UPS is kind enough to deliver when people are home (surprise, surprise, I have a day job like the majority of people) and they know I can't get out of work just to sit at home and wait on a package. This is why I LOVE UPS. Well unfortunately, this isn't the company used to deliver my much-anticipated phone.
FedEx is the company they used. FedEx came at 12:45 while I was at work. When I got home I immediately called the FedEx helpline, because they left a note on my door. On the first call a foreign man whose English could use some improvement answered and I hung up on him after repeatedly trying to understand him and communicate what I needed. Now the man was nice and from what I could make out he really was trying to help but the communication barrier was too much for either of us. I called a second time and after an arduous argument with an automated system I FINALLY got someone with competent English (and by this time I was crying, I will admit that). The lady was very nice and sincere in her apology and by her level of competence in calming down a distraught and upset customer she's had to do it a lot.
I really felt bad for crying on her, but the level of disappointment and the amount of obstacles I went through to find someone to talk to had me frazzled. But I begged her to find out if the FedEx driver was still in town, I would willingly meet him on his route just to get my phone, but alas he had already left with my phone and the only way I could get it is if I drove 1 hour on my birthday to go pick it up from the FedEx holding cell where they had it or, because they don't deliver on weekends, wait until Monday AND use up some vacation time so I could be there to sign for it. Yeah, happy birthday to me because they don't deliver on the weekends and now I have to take time off from my job to wait at my house wasting my vacation hours just to meet the man at the door at whatever ungodly hour he decides to deliver it. I plan to be awake and at the end of my driveway to meet him. I don't even want his truck to be seen in my yard that is how upset I am.
And I'm a very nice person, I work in customer service and I'm extremely flexible but the hoops and annoyance I went through has made me very bitter about the experience. I'm sorry to be one of "those people" but after this nonsense is over on Monday, I will in all honesty not give any other business to FedEx and I plan to hold to that. I can't afford to sit at home and wait on a delivery because they want to come to my house at 12:45. No. I will let my beloved UPS man handle my needs, at least their delivery route lets me be home to greet him and I always get a competent English speaker on the first call. And I realize that they won't leave a phone sitting on someone's doorstep, but if you know it's one of those packages why would you go at 12:45? Why not 3 or 4 or 5 when normal people are home?
And I'm not angry at Apple or the driver or the man whose English makes my head hurt or the really nice lady who helped me stop squalling on the phone, but at the fact that FedEx doesn't plan better. You have a package, containing something very important to someone, that needs to be signed for because it's expensive and delicate and very much anticipated and you choose to deliver it at a time when most people are at work. On a Friday no less. You know that person is unlikely to be home and you know you don't deliver on weekends and that your nearest storage facility is an hour away. Planning makes a difference. Common sense plays a role too. And breaking someone's heart a day before their birthday loses you business and the business of anyone that she has influence over.
And believe me, I cried talking to my mom, my best friend, and a cousin. All of whom had similar bad experiences with FedEx and all vowed they'd never again trust them with their packages because of it. And yes a phone is a stupid thing to be upset over but it was my one thing that I had wanted, I saved for it and planned for it and was looking forward to meeting the package delivery guy at the door to get it. And yes even the UPS delivery man heard me crying because he delivered two packages to me that day and asked why my eyes were red. That is how upset I was. I will, on my life, never allow a package to be shipped to me via FedEx. I will pay penalty fee's, extra shipping or I'll just go without.

On Arrival the driver said these papers are incorrect. They were not. He rejected by throwing them on the floor. He left. Tried again the next day. Same papers no difference. He took the parcels after some altercation.

Next thing I heard, was that I was BANNED from FEDEX forever. Saves me time and explanations as I was NEVER going to use them EVER AGAIN anyway.

So I was in search of a new laptop for my daughter. I found one on eBay from a top seller and a great price. So, I paid for it and they shipped it out promptly, using FedEx. A few nights go by, and my daughter (who is only 4) was asking about her new laptop, which she was so excited to get, I told her it was going to be here in the morning, as I knew it had to of been here by then. So, just to be sure, I got onto my eBay account and checked the tracking of the laptop. "Delivered" it said, "left at front door" at around noon, earlier that day.
I panicked for a second, knowing that I was home all day, I had gotten the mail around 11 am and UPS brought packages between 1&2 pm. (I work from home, so I receive many packages.) So I immediately went outside my front door and looked everywhere, the bushes, down the steps, inside my front door, the back door, and nothing, no package. This laptop was a 15.6" laptop, it could not have been missed. So I did what most mothers would do in this situation... I cried! I was so upset for my daughter, she had been looking forward to getting her new laptop, and I was afraid I'd have to tell her that it was not coming now.
So I get onto the FedEx website and file a claim, and I let the eBay seller know, he also did the same. I had my husband call FedEx the next morning and they said they would get to the bottom of it. Later that day, the driver came to my door, claiming he had left the package there. I get packages to my house all day everyday! I live in a nice area with nice neighbors, never had an issue before EVER, now I order a laptop and it's just GONE?? BS!
The shipping label had the name of the pawnshop on it called "Cash Inn" so I'm sure "SOMEONE" saw the label and decided to keep it for themselves. I was home that day, I work in my kitchen which is only a few feet from my front door, I got packages at 2 other times that day, before and after the laptop had said it was delivered, and yet it just disappeared, right? The ground suddenly opened up and swallowed the package, yeah ok. So after a few days of them saying they'd figure it out, I get a notice saying the investigation was closed, and well I was out $150 and my daughter was out a laptop. Never heard from them again and never saw the laptop. I will never use FedEx again if I can help it, bunch of crooks!

I had a 21 package business consignment shipped from abroad, paid with insurance cover by the express service. Several days later, 2 arrive late and one is lost. I reported this, however they made me a run around for about 6 weeks, never calling me back or even emailing me as promised. In the end, nearly 6 or 7 weeks later without telling me anything. It arrived repackaged by them with the box clearly labelled by them as "damaged in handling by FedEx". The original box was also in the packaging so I could see what had happened. Clearly the original box was badly torn from bad handling (it was an official USPS strong parcels box). The item inside was severely damaged in a way that could only have been done with very bad handling. As the metal chassis was actual distorted so badly I could not even get it back in place by force.
At first they told me they would grant a claim, but then made me wait even more weeks, and eventually came back and said another department denied the claim and they can’t help. When queried they said they tried to fob me off by saying packaging was inadequate, even though even a simple minded person can see clearly that this nature of damage has nothing to do with packaging, as it was so badly damaged. It’s so obvious the FedEx team had tried hide the item, as it had been so badly damaged, and so it was lost initially, but after my chasing it up and complaining, they mysteriously found and delivered it, and then within the company tried to cover it up under an agreed story of bad packaging.
I always thought FedEx was meant to be one of the best, professional and trusted global couriers. Believe me, you do not want to risk having to deal with them in the event of an issue or problem. To further underline this, they are refusing to even provide me with the customs invoice, that I need to claim back the tax from the government on it. Even the customs government department could not believe how badly FedEx was behaving.

FedEx never delivered a Christmas present (a hand knitted blanket) for my son and his family last year. Your FedEx ground delivery person admitted that he did not recognize their home as the address he delivered the package. My daughter-in-law said when he made that statement his supervisor could be heard yelling at him over the phone. After that visit FedEx changed their story saying that the box WAS delivered to the correct address as promised. We all know the blanket was never delivered. My son’s wife stays at home all day caring for her three children. They have two dogs that bark if anyone approaches. She is sure that no package was delivered. The blanket cannot be reordered because every stitch was hand knitted to become a king size comforter (8.5 x 8). It took me four months knitting every day for me to complete. My arthritis keeps me from making another. It was to be a keepsake for my son's family.
I realize FedEx is trying to cut corners but to not bother delivering packages to the proper address is really hitting bottom. Your company reiterated “reorder the item” like that has become the standard slogan for the way FedEx now does things. But, as in my case, what if you cannot reorder. Consumers should be warned not to trust FedEx with their irreplaceable items. I thought about taking this matter up with the small claims court but just don’t have the energy. FedEx should know, however, that their business practices do cause harm.

I ordered a new phone. The company I have my phone thru used to use ups. So I thought no worries, WRONG! They changed companies to FedEx. They stopped at my house this morning, put a "sorry we missed you" tag on my front door (nice of them to knock. I have dogs, they would have let someone know. My son was home). As I was coming up to my driveway I seen them drive away so I called. They say no problem, they will be back around 4. Big surprise, NOPE!
So after 8 tonight I call to get hung up on by some little jerk that assured me they would deliver before 8 tomorrow. I told him no! I will go and pick it up at the warehouse tomorrow morning. He laughed at me and says ok right before he hangs up on me. When I tell him I'm a little mad that they didn't even bother to call he says, "Well I'm putting it on the truck for delivery so sometime before 8 tomorrow or the next day!" Freaking little jerk. I will make dang sure that I mess with his job as much as possible!! So irritated and will be getting a hold of the phone company and telling them to never send me anything FedEx again!!

FedEx states they have made several delivery attempts. I have stayed home so my package could be delivered. I even left a note on my door telling them to leave my package since it did not require a signature. They say they came but I have no package or no door tag to prove it.

I will never use FedEx again. Not necessarily for the staff working there, but for the shoddy online system they have to ship a package. I thought it would be easy to ship one 18x18x16 box full of my things home after moving across the country. I made an account online and started the shipping process of creating a shipment online. Right from the get go the system was horrible. If I filled out something wrong on the shipping page, it highlighted in red and I had to attend to it. The only problem was it set all the other sections of the shipping page (time for pick up, box size, box weight) to the default, and for some reason took the city and province away from my shipping address. Not a problem, filled everything in and double checked before hitting submit so I wouldn't be left with any red areas. I then got a shipping sheet to attach to my package.
The only problem was I did not have a printer attached to the computer I was on so I would have to print it later on a different computer. When I called customer service they told me I could not email or save the shipping sheet in any way. After clicking around the website for a while they also told me that I had to be on the shipping sheet page to have access to my receipt, and once I left the page the receipt was gone. They had told me to leave the page BEFORE letting me know I would lose my receipt. What a horrible system. Why can't I e-mail myself the shipping sheet and receipt? Sketchy. After that I was unable to find an area of the website that told me when my pickup would be. When I called back customer service I was told that my account "wasn't available" so they could not see my information. They also worried me because since they couldn't see my account they believed I didn't have one.
Keep in mind I needed my package picked up the next day because I was leaving the province a few hours after pickup, forever. I asked them what to do. I supposedly didn't have an account, and I couldn't create a package shipping page the day of pickup. I got the answer "I’m sorry, there's nothing we can do." I repeatedly got the response "I’m sorry." Do you know how vulnerable I felt when the supposed experts on the phone just gave up? I went to bed angry and very stressed out. The following day (the day of supposed pickup) I called customer service again, hopefully to get someone else that did not leave feeling so horrible. I received better service in the morning, but again, the woman on the line could not access my account, and therefore could not verify all the information (shipping time, shipping sheet, etc.) that I was seeing on my end of the screen.
She also told me that FedEx pickup drivers could not call the individual (me) upon arrival. Um... that is the only way I could let the driver into my building. That is the only way ANYONE could get into my building. The driver was set to pick up between 9 am-12 pm. I was not waiting in my lobby for 3 hours for him. I was then told that my pickup time was changed to 9 am-6 pm (Though they could not see my account? How does that make sense?). But at the time I just wanted my package out of my hands, and I was not going to wait in my lobby that whole time. I decided at this point to call up a friend and get her to bring my package into a FedEx store. I wasn't going to risk it. But I also inconvenienced her for something that should have been so simple. Once in the store, there were 3 people in line and one person working.
I waited 20 minutes before literally handing her my package and sheet, getting an ok it's good to go with the shipping sheet and walking out. What a waste of my time. I asked the person working at the store about my "nonexistent" account, and she rudely replied that she had no idea. She just takes the package and the shipping page and that's it. It was my responsibility to make sure the package was legit. Not the company that was shipping it. Hmmm. If you don't read the long winded rant/vent above, please read this last section.
All I wanted when I called in the first time for help was someone to walk me through the process, possibly helping me create a new account and entering the details in the shipping page for me. What I got was individuals who didn't care, and basically had no answers for my "nonexistent account" and information, and left it at that. Something so simple, took me 6 phone calls and 2 days to figure out. What a shoddy online system, and literally at the worst time possible where I was already stressed enough with the move. I will not be using them again.

I wrote a similar review on UPS, sad to say FedEx is no better. I always ask for notifications and add instructions since I am disabled. They ignore them and since I reported it they now claim I am not home when I am. This has happened 3 times recently. My bells work, they either don't bother or are ringing the wrong bell - my apartment number and floor are written on all packages and they have it too.
I called again today and all I get is "I am sorry and this will be corrected." Well it hasn't. I have to wait until tomorrow to get my delivery, and I was home for today waiting. Each time I speak to a supervisor, they take my info, but nothing seems to be corrected. I may be disabled of body but not mind. If this is happening to me how many others are going through the same thing? I used to write, please ring bell, give me time to answer and hand me the package adding a thank you. Now I write, I am disabled please ring my bell, give me time etc, etc. All I am asking is for them to do the job they are paid to do, nothing more. Customer service no longer exists.

Based on the tracking number, I was expected to receive a Friday delivery of office equipment (for my new job on Monday) by 10:30 a.m. I stayed home waiting. I was outside, cleaning up my yard around 9:15-9:20 am and happened to find a door tag that a delivery was "attempted" at 9:25 am. Really? I didn't hear the door bell at any time nor did I hear a knock on the door. I do not believe any sort of attempt was made and at best, poor effort.
I called Fed Ex customer service around 9:40 a.m. to see if they could get the driver to turn around. She (Customer Service rep) stated that she called the local branch to have the driver paged. She advised that the branch will call me back when they can confirm whether or not the driver could come back. I asked when I can expect a call and from who. The response: "Just let them call you back. Otherwise you can pick it up there after 4 pm". Nice Customer Service. Thank you Fed Ex for sucking!

Why send Federal Express when for half the $$ you can send through the US Postal Service with the two day delivery?

Why would it sit in one hub for 3 days? Your guess is as good as mine but Federal Express is useless and if I could ask companies not to use it, if I had a choice between Federal Express in the United States Postal Service, I would take USPS any day.

I ordered a pool cleaner through Amazon on Sunday 8/9 with 2-day shipping, and should have received my package on Tuesday 8/11. Sure enough around 1:30 I get an email stating that my package was delivered and left on my front porch. Very excited to check out my new 'toy', I got home from work around 5:30 to find that - surprise! - there's no package. I checked with family members, who had been home all day, and confirmed there was no delivery. I thought maybe it was left on a neighbor's porch instead, so I went and looked on porches in the area and knocked on a few doors. No one around had received the package. I called FedEx customer support shortly thereafter to report the missing item, and was told that a case was opened and that I would receive a call back the next day (Wednesday).
Of course this call never came so I called again Wednesday evening after getting home from work. This CSR told me that the previous CSR had opened the wrong kind of case and he was correcting it - and again I would be called the next day. Thursday came and went and nothing. Called again Thursday night, and then was told that they needed to contact dispatch, and that dispatch would call within 2 hours. Dispatch actually did call within the 2 hours - the only promise that was kept - and told me that they were investigating with the driver, to allow 48 hours, and that I would receive a follow-up call on Saturday. I doubted they would call on a Saturday but figured maybe it was possible. The weekend came and went and no call.
I then received a follow-up call on Monday around 1:30 stating that the driver had just delivered the package and to contact the shipper if I had any further issues. Unfortunately I couldn't take the call at the time and this was left on a voice mail. Somehow, supposedly, the driver had magically found and delivered the missing package. Upon getting home Monday night there was, of course, no package to be found. I again called FedEx support and told them that I still had not received anything. The CSR went through the same initial set of questions that I had been asked a week prior and promised a 2-hour follow-up call from dispatch. Another call that never came.
After getting home on Tuesday I called them yet again and was told that the investigation case was closed since the driver had delivered the package, and that I would need to contact Amazon from there on. No one ever offered any explanation as to what happened to the package, how it was suddenly found on Monday - almost a week later - or any suggestion as to how they would fix this issue. All I got from this experience with FedEx was a lot of promises not kept, ineptitude, and an overall attitude that I was basically bothering them with this investigation.
After this I did contact Amazon and the issue was resolved in about 15 minutes time. The Amazon CSR listened to my complaint, apologized profusely for FedEx's lack of response, and promptly reordered the item for me at no charge. She also stressed that I should call them (Amazon) directly any time I had an issue with a package not being delivered. This was, for me, the first time I had to deal with this and I was none the wiser as to what to do. If there is a next time I will certainly go straight to Amazon. Kudos to them and their efficient and painless resolution.
I'm sure Amazon has insurance that will pay for these kinds of mistakes, but it seems a shame that they need to replace items due to the utter lack of quality control and accountability from FedEx. What irks me most of all is that, in FedEx's system, there is no way to reach the dispatch team directly, and they and the drivers hide behind this fact. I suspect the driver that supposedly delivered my package has already listed the pool cleaner on eBay. Hopefully this is a lesson learned for the next person that is subjected to dealing with FedEx customer service. And hopefully UPS is delivering the replacement package that is en route!

I was home the morning of 08/15, expecting the delivery of a package shipped overnight. I receive a text alert saying a delivery attempt was made. No one rung my bell, knocked on my door, or left a door tag. They lied. I called The FedEx phone number to get an explanation of what happened. The representative had to answer, but said they would send a message contacting the driver to get him to come back. I provided my cell and home phone numbers, as well as confirmed that the bell downstairs was working. I get a call from someone at the Bronx facility and he said the driver will be back before the end of the day. I explain that it is VERY important that the package gets delivered on that day by 2 pm. About 45 minutes later, I get another alert of an attempted delivery. Once again, no contact in any form was made.
I call FedEx again to clarify what could have happened this time. The representative told me that the delivery person said one elevator was working and the other would not move. I still don't understand why I wasn't contacted to come downstairs. I could have figured out how to get the package back up, or declined. But, it ultimately would have been my choice. Once I explain this to the representative (who clearly is operating from a call center overseas), he replies that the delivery person came twice... and I can pick up my package from the facility (in the Bronx) after 3 pm. I live in Harlem. So after much frustration and thought, I put in a request to have the package sent to my local FedEx store, so I could rush out and pick it up. My request was never confirmed. Fast forward to Monday, and all of a sudden I get an alert saying the package is headed to the store. Why? It makes no sense now.
I call FedEx AGAIN and ask them to have the package sent to my apartment. I explain the reason for me wanting it sent to the store, on Saturday, for me to run out and get it. The customer advocate department representative I spoke with kindly place me on hold and contacted the Bronx facility. She said it should be delivered at home. She also jotted down my ordeal and put in a complaint/investigation for me. I keep tracking the progress on the package, and suddenly I see that it was delivered to the store. How and why? Have you not tortured me enough with poor customer service and idiotic decision making? So I now have to rush home after work to pick up this package.
I am appalled, disappointed, and surprised by the way this situation unfolded. Due to the laziness and inability to think critically as a representative of FedEx. I am the one paying for this person's decision to not do their job. If someone cannot or will not complete a simple task as making valid attempts to get in touch with a customer so they can get their package they SHOULD NOT be employed in a position it with it is their responsibility to do so.

Situation: Contacted FedEx about a misdelivery. I used the FedEx Delivery Manager to make sure the package was authorized to be left at my front door. I live in an apartment building so I would not know if the delivery person is there to request I pick up the package. The package was not delivered. This has happened multiple times and results in my package arriving way later or myself going to pick up the package. I pay for shipping and I just want my package to be delivered in a timely manner. I contacted customer service and asked to be reimbursed for the shipping costs because their drivers cannot deliver packages properly.
I may be reimbursed for the shipping costs, but I highly doubt it. I followed up to see if the package could be delivered on Monday, 17 August 2015 and I was informed that FedEx only delivers to residences or homes Tuesday-Saturday. This is not true as in the past I have received FedEx packages on a Monday and I see FedEx vehicles in my area on Mondays. The representative I spoke to did not seem to understand why I was asking why they were closed on Monday.
FedEx is a delivery company and they should be delivering on Mondays to homes. Poor excuse for a shipping and logistics company. I wonder what happened to them.

Never knew that people like this could be such a ruin to their image and why pay for shipping to your door if the courier himself will just not care one bit and take the effort to go up the elevator to hand it to me, does it really require so much to go up and deliver what we pay for?

They made a mistake in billing and didn't want to give a refund. They were rude and tried to shut me down. I talked to a rude, Hispanic woman in the customer advocacy line and an even ruder black guy in the billing department. I've never seen worse customer service. On top of that, my stuff got damaged in the boxes I shipped. FedEx might send their call centers to the Philippines like everyone else. Their customer service in America is terrible. The staff is rude and can't handle anything.

Was asked for KYC documents for the sample imported from another country. Provided them with all the documents, they needed for more address proof and I provided them second time also. But still no progress and no help with it. I keep following with them everyday, but all they are ready to discuss but no solution. Really a bad experience. FedEx had been quite decent so far with domestic services but this is the first time for an international courier and it disappointed me badly. Was thinking to create an import-export account with it but now I won't and will not suggest anyone else to.

My luggage was picked up on 22nd July and was expected to be delivered in 7 days. However after 16 days still it has not been delivered and every time I contact FedEx they come with an unacceptable excuses. I'm really fed up with the inefficiency of this company. They can not understand how much pain and damage they cause by such an inefficient service and lack of feeling responsible to their customers. At the moment I really do not know how I can have my luggage delivered to its destination.

I had someone purchase a triplet stroller and 3 toddler seats from me. I had no idea how to ship these items due to their size and awkward shape. So I decided to bring it to a Fedex shipping center. The manager of the store took measurements and then called an employee on his cell phone to bring him a different size box. He explained that the toddler seats would have to ship in their own box and that the stroller would have it's own box. The manager proceeded to box the seats and the employee still had not shown up with the other box. They took measurements several times. He said to make sure everything would fit.
After a significant amount of time the box still had not arrived so the manager decided to check me out. He said he would box and ship everything once the other box arrived. I was not in a hurry, it was his decision to check me out. He gave me a price (nearly $200). I swiped my debit card and left the store feeling like the transaction was complete. I was obviously wrong. The following week an additional $110 was charged to my card. When I called asking about the charge the manager told me the stroller didn't fit in the box that he anticipated so he had to use a bigger box, thus increasing the shipping cost. I never authorized my card to be charged an additional time and I disagree with the way this business was done. I am very disappointed with my Fedex experience and will likely not use their services again.

World Music Supply shipped an expensive limited edition Fender guitar by FedEx Ground. I received an update on my tracking search that it had been delivered 30-45 minutes earlier and left on our porch. After searching everywhere it could have been left and checking with all nearby neighbors, we concluded that the driver never delivered the package but drove by to cover his theft with GPS positioning tracking. His supervisor says it is the driver's word against ours and they won't even send an investigator to our house. This would easily disprove the driver's lies. FedEx driver's can get away with anything they want to steal and the company won't do anything about it! We can prove that we were home and we can prove that the driver didn't even enter our property. FedEx's solution was to send the driver out to lie to our faces but refused to send an investigator to confirm their driver's theft and subsequent lies.
Updated on 08/13/2015: FedEx Ground security called today to let me know that they had completed their investigation of my claim. Their conclusion, without interviewing me or visiting my house to see how preposterous the driver's lies were, was that they didn't know where my package was but their driver says he delivered it. Claim denied. End of story. Conclusion: If you ship with FedEx Ground without a required signature on delivery, your valuable package will disappear with no accountability for the driver. All he has to do is drive by your residence and his GPS tracking device will "prove" that he made the delivery. You could be sitting on your front porch waiting for your package to be delivered and that is not enough for FedEx if the driver says he delivered it and it is missing. Boycott these thieves!

Too many bugs in the system: I was expecting a delivery from a different department. Tracking info showed it was going from Dallas to Tucson, but did not show the full address. After it was sitting in Tempe for a long time, I called and found out the ZIP code was incorrect. How am I supposed to realize that if you don't show the shipping address? How come the tracking info realized that the package was going to Tucson, but instead they sent it to Tempe? Then the office in Tempe was sitting on it without taking any action? Too many bugs/mistakes:
They need to show address info in tracking system, at least Zip code/city. If they send the package to one city it should show the same city on the tracking info. Don't track to Tucson and send to Tempe! Hire a real programmer and cross check the addresses automatically. If no match, immediately take action. When I went to contact them via their email form, it did not appear to send it. Hitting the send button did not do anything. No error message either. I tried IE, Firefox and Chrome and double checked all fields were filled out. They need to have their web page fixed.

I purchased a TV through Amazon, paid for next day air. Package arrived at Memphis and then disappeared. This is the second time I've had a package mysteriously go missing once it hit Memphis. I called the day it was late and instantly knew the package was gone forever because I heard the same line as when I called about the other package. Here is a summary of what I've been told in the 5 days of following up: Plane was rerouted due to weather causing the delay (not true), package sent to Phoenix by mistake (not true), package is in Memphis still, a team of people are looking for your package, the package will be sent to our lost and found to be claimed, and, we have no updates since arriving in Memphis.
I've been told on three different occasions someone would call me back and it has never happened. The fourth time they told me someone would call I laughed. After explaining why I found that humorous, I was transferred to a "Customer Advocate" that didn't know anything but was willing to hear me complain. The suggestion I was given, just like last time, was to call Amazon and have them ship it again. It's a good thing Amazon is so great with these kinds of things. I know they will make it right, but my problem is that FedEx gets away without consequence again. They take no responsibility in losing/stealing packages because the shipper will make it right.

We shipped a package of dirty laundry on July 13th from Montreal Canada to our home address. It was last scanned in Ellenwood Ga on July 21st, and tracking says pending. We have called everyday almost regarding the package and cannot get anyone to help us locate the package. Each time we have to speak to a different clerk so there is no follow through. Our package is easily identifiable with our description if it is opened. It also has a luggage tag with our information on it. I am an attorney and I have called myself along with my wife trying to locate the package. Can you please get us help? We had attended the AAJ Attorneys' conference in Montreal and my conference material are also in the lost bag.

I needed specific medications sent from a pharmacy that required strict temperature regulation. The pharmacy sent the mess overnight, which, ready for this, I know it is shocking, but FedEx offers a service they absolutely cannot do - deliver in their said time frame. So due to their complete lack of regard for their customer, humanity, or even upholding the service they promise, you just get a headache, ton of hassle, and then a customer service rep who basically says, "sorry, who care, I guess you can pick it up at a facility tomorrow."
I have never had such an amazingly horrific experience with such a large company, one which could care less that these were medications I needed, not ten days for now, but overnight, which is why we paid over 100.00 to have them sent that way. Terrible company that I wish would go out of business, or maybe at least have their top execs suffer some medical mishap due to their inability to do what they say they can do, even when deemed a medical emergency. Thanks Fed Ex.

In June 2015 I reused an Amazon box and sent an international package priority mail to my husband in Saba. FedEx last scanned it in Memphis TN but it seemed to disappear after that, I contacted FedEx several times in which they said they would investigate where the package could be. After about 2 weeks FedEx tells me they lost the package and are only liable to give me $100 even though I provided proof the contents were well over $1000. A short time after I filed the claim I see that FedEx had not lost my package as they told me they had but sent it to Amazon (which just happens to be where I purchased the items from). Amazon gave me a refund for all the items (proving they received the box) expect for the most expensive item, the $981 Microsoft Surface Pro 3.
Even though FedEx clearly hadn't lost the package but sent it to the wrong address they refuse to take responsibility and say they do not know how our package got to the Amazon warehouse. Packages just don't deliver themselves yet FedEx doesn't have any tracking for our box getting sent anywhere even though they supposedly conducted "a thorough investigation" and thinks it's acceptable for us to be out $981 while somebody else has our Surface Pro.

Yesterday I had an awful experience with a FedEx driver. A FedEx driver delivered an air conditioner I ordered from Amazon. As I asked him to help me upstairs with it he scanned the package. He told me he would help me if I help him up. After a couple of seconds of attempting to help him, he put the package down and told me to open up the box and then it will be lighter. He then ran out the door. As I was attempting to get it up myself, a piece snapped off. I first called FedEx about this and they advised me to call Amazon. Amazon is of course replacing the item but now I am stuck in today waiting for UPS to pick the item up to return to Amazon. I will also have to wait in tomorrow for the replacement AC worrying about starting this all over again.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Avoid if possible!!! I ordered an incredibly important book for my masters degree a week before class started and now, a month later, I still don't have it. When the package didn't arrive when I expected it to, I tracked it online only to find that it was already here in Edmonton but that FedEx couldn't find my address. I found this strange as I had also ordered several other books from many different sources and they had all easily found my place on time... if not early. My address is VERY straightforward. I call customer service so I can pick it up. I'm refused.
The customer service rep was incredibly rude and abrupt. I'm told that I can only fill out a claim form. I explain that I don't care about that and that I don't want to complain. All I want is to pick up the book. Again, I'm refused. I fill out the claim report and their grand resolution was to SEND THE BOOK BACK! I call AGAIN to find out what on earth happened and why I was made to fill out a claim only to be ignored. I'm assured that a manager will call me in 24 hours.
Several days later NO ONE has called me so I call yet AGAIN. The customer service rep was INCREDIBLY RUDE. I told the story again and explained that I just needed answers as I was charged for the package a month ago and needed to get this settled. The rep asked me not to think of her as a liar. I started laughing and tried to explain that of course I didn't think that and that I wasn't blaming her or anything like that. I simply wanted to get this resolved. Before I could finish she actually moved the phone a bit away and then screamed "UGHHHH CAN YOU JUST LET ME TALK! JESUS!!!" I was so shocked that I didn't know what to do. After a few moments I managed to pick my jaw off the floor and hang up. First time EVER that I've hung up on a rep. Incompetent delivery, complete lack of organization and hands down, the worst customer service I've ever received.

On two separate occasions FedEx has failed to deliver packages. The first was a birthday present for my daughter. I checked the delivery progress daily and was excited when I saw that it was on its way to my local post office. A week later I still had not received the package so I called my post office. They said that they had not received the package and that I would have to call FedEx. I was never able to get through to anyone and the package never came. Four months later I ordered a backpack and some clothes for my daughter with the same results! Tracking says that the package is on the way to the post office. Two weeks later and the post office still has not received the package! There are separate tracking numbers for the items recently ordered.

I was traveling and was informed by my shipper that a delivery was being made through FedEx, I quickly went online and registered for a vacation hold, thinking that their system really works and someone would really check to see if there is a vacation hold. But I was wrong and after 3 failed attempts to deliver they returned the shipment to the shipper. The original shipment was originated in Shanghai, so I hope they really have got the item back there.
Anyhow, when I contacted them to find out why this has happened, instead of admitting that someone has screwed up they just kept telling me "contact your shipper"; well I do not need an incompetent FedEx agent to tell me that, I know that I should contact the shipper and request that they arrange redelivery hopefully through another company. So if anyone else thinks that the Vacation Hold of the FedEx website works, do not count on it and make some other arrangement to receive your shipment when you are away for more than 3 days.

No one came to pick up my package after the online scheduler didn't work using the return tracking number provided by APPLE and I had to call in and set it up. I called back to see why they didn't show or call, there was a typo on the phone number. Instead of fixing it and rescheduling it they started from the beginning with the man hearing every single thing wrong (no language barrier) - name phone agency address...17 minutes later they finally were able to confirm a second pick up scheduled for today. POOR.

FedEx tracking informed me via email that my package had been delivered. Tracking was updated to reflect package was left at my door. I was home, anxiously and obsessively awaiting delivery and never heard anyone come to the door. I offer a suggestion: make an attempt to communicate to persons inside the house that someone on the outside of the house has traveled here for any number of potential but certainly not delivery-related reasons.
Regardless of the lesson I've learned regarding your practices, maybe some good can come of losing any potential business from me or any merchant who cannot offer alternative shipping options. I don't believe the FedEx assertion that my package was delivered. It will always be my word against FedEx and for whatever reasons, I'll lose. Here's a story from this week where the exact same assertion was made but in this case, camera evidence irrefutably disproved that: **. The tracking scan process is clearly not definitive and it leads me to believe not only is it possible to have inconsistent (FALSE) standards, but could easily be common practice. Like many facets of modern life, technology is shedding light on the mysteries that are otherwise just tall tales and fantasy.
Time for surveillance equipment because a simple search reveals a pattern of disregard and zero liability for driver error, once they've marked your package delivered they are free of any responsibility. How can you deliver to the wrong address and refuse to correct the error as others have experienced, as a business practice? Because of this, I think you should at the very least leave a note to physically prove you were there. I believe it would be strong evidence for the driver that delivery was made and theft was instead to blame. I doubt drivers would have time to leave a printed note as a cursory internet search seems to suggest FedEx is a horrible employer with questionable working conditions and the very bare minimum for non-corporate "customers".
