I booked consignment from Shenzhen to India. First of all they took 11 days to deliver the consignment. After providing documents, FedEx customer support did not get the documents. N number of persons keep calling without checking their email, whether they got the documents are not. Then the second issue I encountered was they do not provide the original duty receipts and freight bills to customers. They force customers to work with their xerox only.

Citicorp was sending me a new card overnight (Sat delivery) as the card was hacked. Tracking the package, it was shown delivered at noon. No package here. I called within 10 minutes after supposed delivery. Assured by a FedEx by a call that they will send the driver back, get the package and deliver it to me. 5 hours later, no delivery, no call. When I called the supervisor said, "Too bad, we're sorry, the depot is closed and can't fix the situation until next week." FYI, the house it was delivered to was 5 minutes from my house, I drove over, got the package and back in 5 minutes. Called FedEx re my solution. Barely an apology and would not reprimand the FedEx person that did not do his job (not calling me back nor actually getting the package delivered).

I am totally disgusted and fed up with FedEx. I was supposed to receive a package on 3/20/15 which I specifically detailed to pick up at the FedEx office. I left work early to make it to the FedEx office but my package never arrived. Why? Why? I don't understand why you would not notify me earlier via phone call, email or text so that I would know not to take the trip all the way to that specific office. But no, I never received any information but what was on the tracking information that the package was being delivered. No information was conveyed to me at all until I read on the tracking information at 6 am that the package will not be delivered until Monday 3/23 but know it states 3/24/15.
Earlier today, I called the FedEx representative and he told me that he didn't know what to tell me and didn't know when the package would be delivered as he kept stating, "We do apologize for the inconvenience". Furthermore, it's totally irresponsible to indicate on the tracking information that customer was not available because I was available to pick up the package at the FedEx station/office. Totally 100% disappointed customer.

My son mailed a package to me in Roswell, Georgia from Sacramento California on March 18. This package contains/contained a brand-new iPad Air, and it was supposed to have gotten here by 4:30 p.m yesterday. I had to sign for it, and, therefore, had to wait around all day to accept delivery. From the time it was mailed to the time it arrived in Atlanta via Memphis, Tennessee I tracked it and everything seemed ok.
After it was not delivered by 4:30 p.m, I got on the phone to make inquiries. Eventually, I got someone to inform me that 'it missed the morning sort' and would be sorted in the afternoon for delivery by Saturday. Saturday morning I continued to track it, and noticed the tracking information was change. The 4:30 delivery time was removed along with the 2-day delivery mode of shipment. These were replaced by 'not available.' Around 3:00 p.m today, my son called FedEx to get some information, and was told that they would find where it is and effect delivery within 2 hours. It's now after 7, and we have not heard from FedEx. The impression I get is that they will not accept accountability, and will shroud the truth with hardly believable excuses. If I don't receive delivery within a few days, I may require the services of an attorney.

Fedex tried to make a delivery at 11:03 am and no one was there to sign. I received notice at 15:13 pm. I called fedex and asked for them to redeliver the box. They told me it was too late, that the driver was on his way back to the station and it would be impossible to go back. It's only 5 miles from the station. So I called the station and explained myself that this was a business tool for tomorrow 8 am meeting. They could care less and hung up on me.

Dec. 19th I sent a package to my Daughter from Colorado Springs, CO. to Germantown, TN. The package was not signed for and sent back to the "holding" center in Memphis, 10 miles from Germantown. After 4 phone calls to customer service, first to track the package and receive notice that it would be sent back to me, second to find out that I needed to create an account with Fed Ex, third to discover that they had sent the returned the package to me, fourth to find out that they required a CC for payment (why when I already paid $22.25 for the shipping). Finally, 2.5 months later, the package gets to my Daughter. To my astonishment, I receive a bill for $41.36 to cover the shipping charges from Memphis to Germantown.
I had actually expected an apology from Fed Ex concerning this matter. Not to mention I paid $22 to ship from CO Springs (14 hours away), and they want to charge me another $41 to ship from 10 miles away. I refuse to make this payment, will NEVER use Fed Ex again, and will ensure that my Company will not use their service, nor my associates. For being a worldwide corporation, Fed Ex is a horrible service. I will use, and promote UPS!!

I place an online order the company shipped the package through FedEx. I had a delivery date/day for Thursday March 19th, which I took a day off due to I am the only home - my husband is away in the hospital. I live in an apartment building which I would prefer to get my own package. Well FedEx never show up. I never received a curiosity call or nothing, just waiting all day to find that I will get my package the following day which now I have to stay home again. I think FedEx has provided me with poor customer service. I call customer support this morning, March 20th. The young lady I spoke to act did not provide me any service besides "it will be there today". How do I know if it's coming today? I am sitting here waiting for a package. Please tell me something.

I got the delivery confirmation that my package was delivered. My dad was home all day. I was tracking the package on my phone since it departed. The driver said it was dropped on front door @ 3pm. There's only about 7 house on my street and you have to walk up a pathway to my house so it's not likely someone took it. I called fedex and they said they get back to me. They called a day later and said the driver confirm my address and he left it on the front door. And that was it, the seller I got it from did not offer ins so I didn't have that option but I NEVER had this problem with ups. Fedex sucks.

I contacted Federal Express and gave them my apartment gate code when I found out a package was on its way for delivery on Friday, March 13, 2015. I spoke to a customer service rep via the "chat" option and also called their 1-800-GO-FEDEX number and supplied them with the gate code as well. Friday afternoon I received a call saying my package was not delivered because the business was "closed." I called FedEx again and was told the driver couldn't get in to the complex because he needed a gate code. I explained I had called early in the morning to supply FedEx with the gate code and I insisted on speaking to someone from our local FedEx office. The local individual said he would make sure it wouldn't happen again on Monday and that I would received my package on Monday.
It is Wednesday now and I have received the same exception notice saying my package was undeliverable. I was home all day yesterday due to illness, someone was home all day on Monday, someone was home all day on Friday as well. This is ridiculous and I am so disgusted. The last customer service representative said I would have to go pick up the package myself from the local FedEx facility. I told her I refused to do so because I know proper delivery attempts have not been made. I refuse to pick up FedEx's slack. I will NOT go and pick up a package that should have been delivered to me to begin with. DO YOUR JOB, FEDEX!! This is not the first time you have failed when attempting to deliver something for me. I have been frustrated and disgusted while being both the recipient and the sender. I will NEVER MAKE FEDEX MY CHOICE AGAIN!!!

My name is ** and my shipment that was sent through your company was mistreated resulting in the death of the animal that was being shipped. I ordered an Asian Water Monitor for the amount of 149.90 including shipping costs from the Florida Herps pet and supplies company. I paid for 24 hour live animal shipping and the shipment was promised on your website to arrive by 10 am on 03-04-2015. The shipment was late so I called your company they said it would be just an hour late.
Then that hour passed and I called again they said that a truck the a couple days before with other packages not mine was late so they were delivering those. I was disgusted with that answer because your company should prioritize live animals to go out. I would not have been worried if it was makeup I ordered. Also I paid for the priority shipping so I had to remind them of that and with that they promised within the next hour and they would contact the driver.
After waiting that hour I of course called another time and then again had to remind another representative it was a live animal when there legally should be a notice of that already when they did not see one. Again promised a different time when the shipment arrived 5 hours late. Now a lizard is shipped with a heat pack to keep them warm for the journey and besides the fact that it is a live animal the 24 hour shipping is meant for that heat pack. My of course could not withstand the circumstances of being pushed aside for 5 extra hours and not prioritizing a live animal or marking the box correctly. Well as you can tell I opened my package to a dead animal which was a terrible experience in itself.
So I called your claims department to make one and had multiple representatives promise the claim would be accepted on a recorded line (feel free to pull the calls). They said all I would have to do is call the shipper and have them finish the claim as it was clearly FedEx at fault and not the shipper or me. So I contacted the shipper who proceeded to let me know that he has a contract with your company stating that he is not allowed to file a claim. Now I understand that company having a contract but FedEx had already promised acceptance of fault when they should be able to see that information. So legally FedEx would just have to approve a one time claim for that company so he is not breaking his contract.
So I called FedEx again attempting to get someone knowledgeable and explained the situation once again to many people who once again admitted fault until I got to someone that said he would email and call the company letting them know to do the claim but he said he did not see a contract. So once again that was not helpful because your employees could not seem to understand what a contract is so a random telecommunications employee can not just tell the company they can finish the claim. Also I contacted the company again and they never received anything this rep promised and he never contacted me again as promised.
In conclusion I have been a previous happy customer of FedEx but now I feel as though this company does not care about how the animals they ship are handled and in turn do not care about compensating their customers for mistakes. In my opinion if this was a mistake instead of carelessness the company would be working harder to help fix it and reimburse my purchase or fulfill my claim for a new reptile. I have spoke to and dealt with many people that do not keep promises or seem to know what they are doing so I hope and pray that you can help rectify the situation so I do not have to continue on this path to someone else. I would love to be finished with this but I will also not just put up with a company not caring that much. Thank you for looking over my situation and I look forward to your response and resolution.

Recently, my dog was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I ordered some bladder support supplements he desperately needs and requested one day shipping. It went out for delivery on the scheduled date, great - awesome (Saturday, March 14). Then, around 3pm I went to check the status of the tracking and it was listed as held by carrier. There was no further information, then on Monday morning there was a message that said that my address could not be found and I needed to contact the carrier. Also, the held by carrier timestamp was updated to 7 instead of the original 3pm.
I called FedEx (Monday, March 16) and they said they don't deliver on Monday's and that the driver could not find the address. I find this absurd. We've never had a problem before, the street and house are clearly marked. The customer service representative kept asking for "directions" and I curtly replied "directions from where?" and she just said the name of the city. I'm sorry but, how can I give directions from a 'city' to a residential address? Where in the city?? "You tell me where you are, I'll tell you where you need to go" but at this point I was frustrated and exasperated. How do the drivers not have GPS?
Today (March 17), I logged the tracking to make sure that the package was en route, because - it is important! Nope, not in route, it simply says that it re-arrived at the same facility where it was being held. So, I called customer service. Talked to a very nice woman who said she would contact the facility and she did. She took some information from me and said that the woman at my local facility would check it out and call back within in an hour.
It's now been 4 hours and I haven't heard a word. The package has not gone out and my dog is still without the supplements he needs. I re-ordered because I don't know if or when I will ever see this package. I chose two day shipping so I am hoping it goes UPS or USPS. I will never willingly ship with FedEx again. It has been a very disappointing few days to add on to an already stressful situation.

Very disappointed with how I was personally treated when trying to get a claim status and how it was handled. I received a damaged insured item and filed a damage claim and waited to hear when someone would come out to inspect the package. After 3 days not hearing back I called to get a status of claim and talked with ** who curtly told me they had 5-7 days to look at it. I felt like I was being brushed off. The following day I attempted to call her twice and was told the second time she would not be available at all that day and she was the only one that could help with this claim. In the meantime we delayed a planned trip in order to be around for them to come by.
On the 7th day I called and again and was told she was not available but this time anther person in claims did give me the information that the claim had been denied. I received a letter that same afternoon denying the claim and it was dated on the 5th of March which was the day before I was brushed off and not given any information. This info would have saved me delaying MY vacation trip and making my decision to return the item if they could have just kindly told me on the phone earlier instead of putting me off. Also the letter claimed they were denying it after inspecting the package, but this is not true because they DID NOT come to look at it. The letter I received also does not include a personal contact or phone number and not signed by anyone. This to me is poor consumer relations. I would have much rather talked to someone about this than writing a complaint.

I have a small consulting business that depends on doing what I say I will do for my clients. I shipped a very important package of customized retreat reports (for a CEO and his team) at noon on Thursday, March 5th to the headquarters of a well-known company in Los Gatos, California. I purchased overnight delivery by 10:30 am the next morning. I'm now told it will be delivered Monday, March 16th. 13 days after I shipped it "overnight.” The package sat in Memphis for days "because of the weather.” The online tracking was ambiguous and every time I called to check on the status I got a different story (after much waiting on hold.) Sometimes I was told it was in flight to CA. Other times that it was on a plane about to take off in an hour. Once I was told it was already in CA and would be delivered Monday morning the 9th by 10:30 at the latest. All this time, I now know it was still sitting in a container in Memphis.
On Monday afternoon March 9th I asked to have the package of reports sent directly to the Amangiri Resort in Utah where the CEO's retreat was being held since it was now too late to be reviewed on the phone with me and hand carried to the retreat from company headquarters in Los Gatos as planned. I was promised unequivocally that the package would arrive at the retreat location in Utah at 8 am on Wednesday, March 11th in advance of the 9 am meeting. It then continued to sit in Memphis beyond the window for making that happen. When that promise failed, I asked to please revert to the original company headquarters address in Los Gatos since the retreat was now over. It was incorrectly addressed twice and is now in the process of being recovered from the wrong state.
All along the way I have sat on hold for countless hours, been promised call-backs from a "station manager" 4 times that never happened, been transferred from person-to-person to explain the situation over and over. I've been a FedEx customer for years, using FedEx for international conference materials. I had a bad experience with two personal packages being delivered late for Christmas in Dec 2014 - one to the UK and the other to Germany. I was told bad weather in Kentucky messed them up. Ok, it was the holidays, so I cut some slack.
This most recent ineptitude is inexcusable - 13 days to deliver a small priority overnight parcel - and wasted hours and stress trying to make it happen on the phone with a company where the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand is doing. I could have driven it there from South Carolina by now. FedEx has made me look very bad to a very important client. My trust in FedEx is broken. Though I've been a FedEx customer since 1998, I think it's time to explore other options.

Our small business server went down because one of the hard drives failed. I called Dell and they sent a new one to be installed by one of their service techs. The next day the hard drive was on the local truck ready to be delivered at 8:20 AM. The representative at FedEx said that it was had an "on time" delivery of before 3:00 PM. At 3:45 I called FedEx. The representative said it was because of the weather. What weather? It was six-five degrees and clear! So, at 5:00 PM when the package had not arrived I sat by the door because our normal office hours are until 5:00. The door is made of glass so there is absolutely no way that anyone could have approached it without me seeing them.
At 6:00 PM I go back to my office to check the tracking and find that the driver said that he attempted to deliver it but no one was here. The door was even unlocked. So, even if I had been abducted by aliens and given a false memory, there is no reason that the package couldn't be delivered. In fact, we had people at the business for over twenty-four hours and received a UPS package after 7:00 PM. I am FED UP with FEDEX. I would complain about their customer service but they have none. However, I am thinking about sending in my tax payments with FedEx. I don't really want those to get there on time.

I understand a delivery date is estimated and can change because of a number of reasons. But an arrival date should never change. I have a package that since Sat., March 7th, 2015 tracking said it was in Martinsburg WV. I forget what it said the arrival time was, that it arrived Sat. there. I believe that is the change over hub to USPS. Expected Delivery was today, the 10th of March 2015.
Today I recheck tracking and delivery date is now March 12th. No big deal. But I wanted the exact time it has been sitting in WV and the WV arrival date. Now says It arrived in WV 12 hours ago at 3:59 am on March 10th. Why did that number change? I can only come up with two possible reasons: 1 -- They changed it to cover butt for how long it has sat in one location. 2 -- Original date was when they (FedEx) dropped it there, and new date is the date USPS was notified it is there and old date deleted during change-over. Very confusing system for people or a really bad dishonest service.
This is my second package I have seen this happen to now. I have also noticed these changes always occur on the expected delivery date. So that makes me think FEDEX is actually telling us the drop-off to USPS date as the expected date, knowing full well it will take days after for item to arrive. Seems like a Bait and Switch to me but with time instead of money. Based on how my local shipping has worked in the past, Always add 3-4 business days onto expected date. I now know my package has no chance to arrive by the weekend for when it was planned to be used with my children.

On Wednesday, March 4, 2015, I shipped via two-day FedEx Ground (for almost $20) a $900 Canon camera from my home in Sacramento, CA to Costa Mesa, CA to a Canon Service Center for repair. On Friday, I checked the FedEx website to track the package, and the status had not been updated since it shipped. I sent a message via the email form on the FedEx website, and heard nothing except the automated response ("We hope to be back with you shortly").
On Saturday, I called FedEx to find out what was going on and was on hold for 20 minutes before I was disconnected. By 10am Monday I had still heard nothing. I called FedEx at 10:15 and was told I would receive a call from a tracing agent in two hours. At 10:39, I received an email informing me that they received my email (the one from Saturday) and that "We sent a message to the delivery terminal and advised them of your concern." By 2pm I had still heard nothing, and the package's status on the website was unchanged. I called back and found out that FedEx had the wrong phone number. I was put through to the assigned tracing agent, who took details from me about the camera. When I asked if they had lost my package she said that she didn't know, and that sometimes the tags come off of packages and they don't know what to do with them.
Now I'm being told, nearly 24 hours later, that it will take another 24 hours for them to look for the package. I sent this email: "I would like to speak with someone higher up the food chain. When I speak with the barely-civil representatives on the phone, they give me vague or no information. I can't understand why a company whose entire business is tracking and delivering packages did not realize themselves that they had a 2-day shipment that had not been delivered. If I hadn't been tracking this, would you ever realized, let alone done anything about this lost package? I really need to communicate with someone who can answer these and other questions, rather than give me non-answers. Please provide me with the contact information for such individuals."

I ordered a package from FedEx last Saturday. It was scheduled to arrive on this past Thursday. Unfortunately I wasn't home. They left a note saying they would try again on Friday. I knew I wouldn't be home so I called them and requested that it would be held at the local FedEx office. They confirmed it would be delivered at the office. On Saturday I called ahead to make sure it was there and they said that it wasn't. They next said it was out for delivery again. Even though that was not I requested I was home anyway.
Throughout Saturday I kept waiting, I knew that I had to sign for it and that was perfect because I was home. Next it has a been several hours and I was starting to wonder where it was. I went outside to see if they put it there guessing they didn't need my signature anymore. That was not the case, I went outside only to find a note that said customer not present. I was furious, I had been waiting all that time at my house and they didn't ring the door bell or knock on the door. Additionally both of my 2 cars were there which would hopefully indicate that someone is home.
I was very disappointed so I called Fedex and they said they can't call or track delivery men. I can understand that but it shouldn't of come to this point at all. I asked for it again to be held at a local office so the problem wouldn't arise for a second time. They said it wouldn't be available today. They next told me it would be available this upcoming Tuesday, THIS TUESDAY! I will never be using Fedex Delivery Services again. I wouldn't recommend Fedex to anyone who has ordered something and wants it without any conflicts.

FedEx did this with TWO separate packages within a couple of weeks. I have a long driveway that is snowed in. I thought FedEx might choose not to attempt to reach the door, and was ready to either arrange a meeting, or go to their station to pick up the package. It contained a LAPTOP COMPUTER. Instead, the driver did not even attempt delivery, and marked the package as "delivered" anyway. I have security camera videos that prove that the driver was nowhere near my front door that day. Then they did the same thing with another package a couple of weeks later.
This confirms what is the only logical conclusion: It is unwritten policy at FedEx Ground to STEAL or THROW AWAY your package if they are unable to reach your door on a delivery attempt. For the first package, I am going through an extremely inconvenient claims process with FedEx now, with the aid of the seller. For the second, the seller is shipping a replacement. I made CERTAIN they did NOT use FedEx this time. I will also make CERTAIN I never buy from anyone again unless they are able to ship with someone OTHER THAN FedEx.

My business uses FedEx on a daily basis. We use the express t send documents so I can't say anything negative about that service as we rarely have any issues. I purchased some framed western art prints and sold them on EBay. I chose to use FedEx to ship them because I already have an account established. I packaged two of the prints together with styrofoam. plastic shrink wrap and boxes and when our regular FedEx guy came for his daily pick up he said he could not take them so I went online and scheduled a pickup for ground. The ground guy never showed up and at this point I was out of town and the guy who bought the prints wanted to know where his package was. My wife who is 8 months pregnant had to drag the package to our FedEx store and when she got there they told her they had to repackage the items so she spent $42 on new boxes and off they went.
A few days later I received an email from my customer explaining that the contents were damaged and he was not going to open it because there was obviously shattered glass. I contacted FedEx and filed a claim. They came and picked up the boxes and after 3 days I had to call in to find out what was going on. The lady I spoke to was incredibly rude and when I asked to speak to a supervisor she hung up, my mistake for not getting her name. I then called back and spoke to another person who was very hesitant to help me but I got her name so I finally made it to a supervisor who told me they were going to send me a check for $100. NO WAY the prints are worth 600, so I had to wait for another manager to review and get back to me within 24 hours.
3 days later I took the box which they had sent back to me - shattered glass and all - into the FedEx store where we sent them out and to no surprise they could not help either but I made her call the claims department. Guess where I got in the process?? Yup NOWHERE! Here I am 2 days later still waiting on a call. I canceled my business account and we are now using a different service.

What is even the point for paying for the 1-day delivery? I ordered a sound card for my computer, a pricey one and I paid for 1 day because my sound card went out. It says "shipment exception" so I call them to find out what does that mean, so they told me there is weather in the area so we couldn't get it out. I told them, "alright so what about my charge for 1 day?" She tells me, "sorry, because of weather you cannot receive it". She then tells me it still says estimated date is for today so they might get it out. I call back 2 hours later (3:45 pm): "so what about my package?"; "there has been a 2 hours delay but it should get there today". Alright so I hang up. I call back a third time (5:30) I ask, "alright can I go pick it up since I can see on the tracker that it has not left the facility?" He tells me, "I will call". He calls, gets back to me - they say it's in a container, their system is down and there is a snow storm so it will be delivered tomorrow.
I tell him I have a sick grandma and this is a piece that can get damaged by the cold. She cannot go out to get it, I took off today (I know how sneaky they can be with their deliveries from the past) for it and now have lost wages for the day. Yes, it did snow today but I drove in it just fine and was almost run off the road by a FedEx delivery truck speeding as they tend to do, so clearly they can handle the weather; the roads were cleaned off by noon. I do not recommend FedEx to anyone, they have terrible customer service and cannot keep a schedule to save their life.

I placed an order that was being shipped from California to Pennsylvania. I watched the tracking status very closely because I hate to miss a delivery. I stayed home all day Saturday waiting for the package. It began to get late so I checked the tracking and it stated the package had been delivered left outside my door. I live in an apartment complex so there are 3 front doors, "so which one" I asked. I looked outside all around the building no package. Called Fedex. They said they would contact the driver and I still haven't heard anything. I usually use DHL or UPS so I'm not sure what I should do at this point.

When my item was first shipped, the estimated delivery was on a Friday. In a day's time, it changed to Saturday. Original pickup was 2/23/15, scheduled for Saturday, 2/28/15. FedEx truck shows up to my door - I'm outside waiting (as I'm eagerly awaiting my delivery) - the driver has a confused look on his face; says to me, "I don't have your package. It shows here on my paper, 'zeroed out'." "What does that mean?", I ask. "It must still be at the sorting facility." "That's weird", I say, "Why did you drive here then?" He shrugs. Well before this point, he shouldn't have even come to my house; these drivers have manifests that they are responsible for carrying out, with the packages that they coordinate with their warehouse personnel whom are responsible for the dispersal of actual packages from shipping containers, through the actual warehouse, to the delivery trucks - which are what us CUSTOMERS see trundling down our streets.
Long story short - the internal operational support for the drivers is terribly lacking and poorly executed. The fact that the driver himself didn't actually verify that a package was or wasn't there just added insult to injury. Incompetence complemented by complacency. It's dumbfounding. The driver says, "it probably won't be here 'til Monday." See, the sorting facilities take Sundays AND Mondays off; with no way to find out where your PAID-FOR belongings are - not to mention the fact that you actually paid for a shipping service that advertises very specific shipping dates. They get around this by stating 'expected delivery date' on the website. This takes any real liability from their plate. They just throw their hands in the air and say '** You' customer.
So, I call the 800 number on their site (notice no real operational or resource department, big surprise there). The person on the other end was helpful enough and doesn't cop attitude - at least there's that. He proceeds to inform me that my said property is locked in a container (that's what his computer told him) with no way to find out why it wasn't sent out. It arrived at 5:50 am...it's now 4:15 pm!!! Why the hell was my order not sent out or even unpacked?! It's now been nearly a week for a 4-day trip! So, he proceeds to let me know that the sorting facility that is now holding my parcel hostage closes at 4:30 pm (it's 4:15 pm, mind you) and he asks to put me on hold while he contacts the facility. I reply, "yes, that would be great..." hoping that there's some semblance of a halfway redeeming answer on the other end of this. Wrong.
The folks who are in charge of making sure people's PAID-FOR PARCELS won't pick up the damn phone fifteen minutes before they punch the clock for the day, for fear of having to do their damn job. SHAME ON YOU, YOU LAZY PEOPLE! It's beside the point that my shipment will now take an extra two days to reach me, it's that I have no definitive answer as to why or even where MY package is. The numbers keep changing and there is no real accountability for this. It's ** and I am really disappointed in this company, especially for the lazy jerk that refused to pick up the phone at the sorting facility. You hear that?! You are a lazy JERK. Yes, I said it, there it is. Sorry to have to resort to calling names, but you suck. Signed, Unhappy and Disgruntled. (PS: I wouldn't be surprised if after this it takes even longer to get to me, get to me damaged, or not even arrive at all. Go ahead, surprise me.)

Unbelievable customer service. Customer service is only an oxymoron when you are speaking about Fedex. I recently had surgery and ordered medical supplies being shipped via fedex. I paid extra so I would have them. I had noticed that for whatever reason Fedex was not delivering to my address and instead delivering to a separate address at the leasing office. So, I called fedex because I do not presently have access to my leasing office. I asked what I needed to do to make certain delivery came to my door. I spoke with a guy that told me to register on the Fedex site and fill out a preference form, which I did. He told me he sent an email to the manager and it was taken care of.
Regardless they delivered my package to the leasing office. When I tried to remedy this, I was lectured about policy and procedure. They can't drop anything off at your residence if it is an apartment. They don't care if you are ill - there are policies and procedures. When I called the executive office, the woman I spoke with told me if I sent an email to Fred Smith the President of Fedex, she would get it and there was nothing else that could be done. Well, there is one thing to be done. ORDER FROM UPS FROM NOW UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

When I went to the FedEx office to ask how long will it take for the package get to its destination, they offered me 2 options: the first one, "the following Monday" and the second one "the following Wednesday", in other words 8 days or 10 days. Anyway, I didn't hesitate to choose the first option, even though it was ridiculously expensive because I really needed that package to be there as soon as possible. There is a big chaos going on in my country right now and it's almost impossible to find even the most basic stuff you can think of such as food, medicines, you name it.
With that in mind I went to the FedEx office, thinking that because supposedly they have a "good service" and they charge you an arm and a leg for it, my package would be delivered without any problems. The reality is 5 days after the "estimate delivery time" my package is still stuck somewhere in Puerto Rico and every time I call to FedEx to get some answers, I just get lied at time and time again. It's impossible to get to talk to a supervisor because according to the customer reps they are too busy.
Bottom line, I was dead wrong with FedEx. I feel deceived, frustrated and ripped off, paying for a service that I didn't get. The reason I'm posting this is because I don't want anybody else to go through this nightmare anymore. I hope this can help somebody. Please DON'T use FedEx ever.

I paid $73 to have a package delivered overnight. I don't think anyone would want to pay $73 for overnight delivery just for the fun of it, not unless they need it by the next day. I received no email stating doing to whether FedEx was not operating. To remind you UPS was running US Postal Service was running and our garbage man was running, oh no not Fedex. And to tell you, the weather was not that bad.
I then called FedEx and the customer representative told me that the package was at the Raleigh location which was 20 minutes from my home. I did not get an email with any option to go pick up my package. To remind you I overnight it for a reason. The faculty where the package was at closed at 5 PM, by the time I found out where it was, it was too late they already closed, and my package was supposed to be delivered by 10:30 am. Don't you think I should have received an email with the option of picking the package up?
So the representative told me that the package will be delivered by 10:30 am the next day. I told The representative if my package was not going to be deliver by 10:30 AM I would rather go pick it up myself, then she assured me my package will arrive by 10:30 AM. I called at 9 AM the next day customer service told me the package will arrive by 12 noon. I told her that was not what the representative told me yesterday.
She said the representative could not have told me it would be there by 10:30 AM because they were not allowed to do that. And yet the customer service representative told me the reason they cannot put a definite time on the tracking website was because they were behind on deliveries since six weeks ago. So you still charge $73 for overnight shipping received by 10:30 AM but knowing that the package was not going to be delivered by 10:30 AM the next day. Not trustworthy company, not dependable. Next time I will definitely use US Postal Service or UPS.

I noticed that the apartment number was missing so at 7:30 am I left a notice downstairs by the front door for FedEx to ring my bell or my neighbor's bell for the package. I called Customer Service to try and have the apartment number added on. The rep told me it could still be delivered without it. I waited all day and...nothing. So at 5:30 pm I called FedEx again the rep told me delivery men are usually out making deliveries up until 8 pm. She "attached the apartment number to the package and also called the station so that the station can notify the driver of the apartment." This was at 5:40 pm. I tracked the package at 7 pm and it stated that the package was unable to be delivered due to missing apartment number.
Once again I'm on the phone with FedEx and at this point I need to speak to a supervisor. I clearly explained all of my efforts and even brought to her attention that I had posted a note, so if the driver would have even made the attempt to deliver the package he would have seen it and rung my bell. I told her this package was urgent and I needed it by Friday. She said the truck was back at the station already (which clearly meant the driver wanted to go home early on Friday). Supervisor says the best she can do is have it out for re-delivery on Saturday. I say, "Ok." Let me also add I stayed home from work Friday for this package and now I'm staying home from work Saturday as well. Saturday came and went and there was no package. Once again I stay home from work yet another day.
I contact FedEx Monday morning to see what was going on, The rep stated the package was placed on a truck Friday for delivery for Monday, not for delivery Saturday...if I didn't received my package by end of day, to call back and file a complaint. My package was delivered Monday early evening and the driver tells me he did not get the notice for the apartment until Monday. No longer ordering from companies that ship with FedEx!

Tracking ** Claim ** - Today I received a letter from this department saying the claim above was denied and asking for more pictures if I wanted to reopen the case. First of all, is not a matter of reopen the case, is a matter of FEDEX doing its job properly. I filled the claim form with the address where the broken item is, the name and phone of the person who is holding the item in order to allow FEDEX to verify "in loco" the damaged it caused and FEDEX did not.
The item in question is a 1840 table made in SOLID WOOD that was shipped very well packed inside a U-HAUL moving box with "fragile" stickers all over and arrows showing the correct position to transport it. Everything were ignored by FEDEX. The only way this table could be broken it was if FEDEX didn't follow the signs and transported it horizontally and putting heavy packages over it (that is clear in the photos sent). So, instead of doing the proper transportation and after breaking the item take responsibility for it is easier to blame the customer for "poor packaging".
In the end I lost the item, the client, the money I spent in shipping and insurance. FEDEX just lost for now my personal and business account and gains all the negative referral that I can give to my friends and customers. In fact I don't know if is a general incompetence of all personnel involved in the process or is an intentional "incompetence" in order not to pay the claim.

My wife's Valentine gift was shipped via FedEx.

When I discovered this problem, I phoned FedEx and asked them to divert the gift to my nearby home address (FedEx has delivered many packages there so I knew that they were able to find the location). I spoke to FIVE different FedEx agents during the day in Salvador, Dominican Republic, El Paso TX, Georgia, and finally a member of their "consumer advocate team" in Bristol VA. named "Kim".
Two of the agents PROMISED to divert the gift to my home where my wife was waiting for the package (I am on travel away from home), however, despite FIVE phone calls, the package was never delivered and is now at the local FedEx office which is closed until Monday. FedEx (Kim) REFUSED to provide me with the phone at the local office!!! A friendly FedEx agent phoned my wife in the afternoon and told her the package would be delivered to our home. Nothing arrived. Kim's "best" excuse was that the FedEx computer system that showed the address change was not compatible with the computer at the local station. She had to read the address from her screen to the person at the local station (who was about to leave for the weekend). What kind of company can't sync or coordinate its computer system.
In addition, I was kept on hold during one of the calls for almost an hour while being exposed to some of the worst hold music ever. Some years ago, I used to depend on a then reliable FedEx to deliver my product. Their service and esp. the customer service have declined a great deal.

I don't think FedEx cares; they just don't like to admit their fault, and could care less about the consumer. Indirectly they are admitting, I am NOT being honest, but driver is, despite camera explanation. From this website, it looks like there are several other people having the same issues with FexEx. I have contacted Zale to investigate. Zale said they will investigate, and will refund me if FedEx cannot deliver the package to me.

I spoke to the driver the night before delivery. I placed a 16"x16" sign out front along the road for the driver to see. He knowingly delivered my package to an address he knew was not right. The package was coming from Pep Boys with my starter in it. My truck is at a towing and storage yard in which I have to pay daily storage at $50.00 per day. My package is now 6 days late, a whopping $300.00 so far.

I have delivered packages for FedEx for 16 years. It was great when I started, but it has gone down the toilet. Management doesn't care, all they care about is that the package has left the terminal and it's not their problem anymore. They only care about their numbers and their bonus. There is no teamwork between them and the drivers. I like what I do, delivering to customers and try to take care of my customers, but management has made the job harder than what it is and tell you that you are doing the job wrong when they themselves have never gotten behind the wheel and delivered 100 plus stops, I can barely have a conversation with customers.
It's sad to see so many unhappy customers and it all falls back on POOR management. The only way to get anywhere with them is to say you're going to contact the Wall Street Journal and the stockholders. Prime example, my mom shipped a painting from Kentucky to Florida. FEDEX Office said they would package it properly and it was in good hands. She unfortunately didn't get with me first, I would have told not to ship FedEx. The painting was destroyed and FedEx was only going to give her $100 dollars for the painting. I told her to call them back and raise hell and say that she was going to contact Wall Street Journal and the stockholders. FedEx changed their tune and gave her $500.
FedEx is so inconsistent, they make up rules and follow them for a few weeks, then it changes. You ask management a question, you get three different answers from three different people. Wake up FedEx, it's not all about your numbers and bonuses. Without your customers, there is NO FedEx. CUSTOMERS are our number one priority, they pay our checks. As long as our customers are satisfied, that's all that matters. I hope one day FedEx will return to the great company it once was, but I doubt it.

I am so livid! I ordered a pair of boots on sale 60% off from Neiman Marcus. I received an order number from NM as well as a delivery date of 11 Feb 2015. That was great. I was going out of town for a few days from Feb 4th and would be back on the 8th February, well in time to stay home for my package to arrive. I got home on Sunday night, checked emails and there was a FedEx delivery notification in my email advising the package was delivered 6 days early on the 5th February. No package. I looked all around the yard, asked neighbors, nothing. My husband was home that day and said nothing was delivered and he would have heard the doorbell or knock at the door, but FedEx did NOT deliver anything. I called Neiman Marcus immediately and told them. They said FedEx would contact me the next day. I was told a claim would be filed and someone would contact me.
Yesterday the FedEx manager for the area came to the door. He said it was odd because the delivery was not in his handheld scanner and he did not recall my house, but also said he delivers over 100 deliveries per day so maybe he 'forgot' what my house looks like. I cannot get another pair of those boots, they were the very last pair. My credit card was charged $530 and FedEx are not helpful,. It's like they don't care and shrugged it off as 'maybe lost'. I just want my boots.
This is a good neighborhood and in 10 years NOTHING I have ordered was ever stolen. Luckily I have the order confirmation with approximate delivery date of 11 Feb from NM as well as my air ticket and airport parking receipt proving I was out of town. I'm also shocked that Neiman Marcus did not ship with a signature delivery request for an item so expensive. Lousy, LOUSY service.

Ordered a pair of shoes from Bradford Exchange on 12/12/14, FedEx took possession of the package on 12/14/14. Package made it to Idaho on 12/17/14 then on 12/31/14 FedEx finally contacted USPS but THEY NEVER DID DELIVER THE PACKAGE TO USPS. I have contacted Bradford Exchange and the earliest that they can ship replacement is 6/15/15 which means they could arrive sometime before July if sent by any other carrier or never if shipped via FedEx. Tracking number still shows FedEx has custody of the package (in transit) and USPS confirms it was never delivered to them.
FedEx has not been helpful at all, they even sent a form letter saying "your package was handed off to USPS on {Insert Date} and delivered to you on {Insert Date and Time}". They also told me that the tracking number was a USPS tracking number and that they showed it was delivered even though it is a FedEx tracking number and their system still shows they have custody of it on 2/9/15. They have not offered an apology and have not offered any form of compensation. These shoes have been paid for 2 months ago but I have to wait at least another 4 months for them to arrive. FedEx will not even let you file a claim for a package that is lost even when their own computer proves the case. FedEx does not even have an automated tracking kickback system in their computer to notify them that they lost a package, the only way you will find out is if you look for it and I got concerned after 6 weeks and found it out myself.
FedEx should have contacted either the shipper or the receiver long before that and been pro active but they were not. They only had one job to do (deliver the package) and they failed miserably. If someone tries to ship you a "surprise" package through FedEx you might not ever know because if they lose it they will never contact you, even if they did they would not apologize or offer you any compensation for your loss. On a scale of 1 through 10, I rate FedEx a 0.

Now I have to take time from my day to pick it up. My brother could have just drove it to me and it would've been worth it so we wouldn't have to deal with FedEx.

Sent a package to my daughter's house. I have sent numerous packages via UPS, FedEx Ground and USPS, but sent this last one FedEx Ground. We have never had any problems, until this last time. She has a covered porch with a wall that blocks any hint of a package being delivered. Package was stated to be delivered but no package was ever delivered. Filled out the tedious claim form and it was immediately denied due that no signature was required. Basically, the driver has no responsibility when there is no signature, even though your package has a default amount of $100 value. We were told to fill out another claim form to see if they would reconsider. This is a huge company that does not stand behind its product.

I tracked a package I was expecting delivery on 22 Jan 2015 and it was supposedly delivered at 11:36 am that morning. I never got it. I called FedEx and being the first time I've had to deal with FedEx, the first agent was very helpful as was the second agent that called me later that evening. They said they would contact the driver and I should receive a call from him the next morning; 23 Jan 2015. That call never came. Later that morning, I called FedEx and explained my situation and gave the agent my case #. She assured me that she would notify the driver (who was responsible for delivering my package) and have him call me. I gave her my telephone number and it is now 3:15 PST and I'm still waiting for the driver to call me.
If my package was mis-delivered, The FedEx driver will probably never admit to it nor does FedEx have a clue where my delivery ended up. I'm going to chalk this mishap up to ignorance, dishonesty and very poor management. Plus I live in a large senior apartment complex so if my package was mis-delivered to the wrong apartment; shame on you for not being honest enough to return it to me. I'm out 60 bucks. Enjoy my new bed sheets!

Medicine from Texcare pharmacy is shipped thru Fedex. Fedex driver tossed package over fence to dogs. Dogs destroyed medicine and package. After repeated calls to Texcare and Fedex, it took over a month to get medicine. Fedex has tossed packages over the fence to the dogs at least 3 different times. First time was a bunch of AAA size flashlight batteries. I found them dog chewed and scattered. Lucky dogs didn't sicken or die. Another time, I caught a foreigner who didn't even speak decent English in marked Fedex truck in the act of throwing a package over the fence while dogs are near fence barking. When I griped them out about the medicine, they put my delivery on super slow, then left two notices on beware of dog sign. Both notices were backdated 2-3 days. Drivers make no effort to ring bell or make any noise, just quietly run up, stick notice up and run off. I ended up getting medicine delivered to doctor's office over a month late.

If there is rain in the vicinity or the FEDEX driver has a "hang nail", I guarantee they will not deliver! Yesterday... our UPS driver made a delivery to our home, our mail was delivered, and our trash was picked up. Oh no, not FEDEX! Our package was on the truck for delivery (watched tracking) and instead we get an e-mail in the LATE AFTERNOON saying there was a "delivery exception" due to weather. Oh my, it rained all day yesterday... are you kidding me!
Instead of being delivered, the package was taken back to the FEDEX hub! Called this morning to find out where the heck my package was and was told it would be delivered today, however the CS person could not tell me what time because the "driver" had never delivered to our area. So now I will bet that my package will be sitting SOMEWHERE on my property (in the rain), getting destroyed! FEDEX ground RARELY EVER delivers to our door... instead it's like hunting for Easter eggs when a package is delivered.

This is an ongoing problem with the Sewickley PA FedEx. They knock lightly once on my urban apt. building which has no doorbell and no door tag is left. They have my phone number but never call. Many people have complained but FedEx doesn't care. Last year the driver claimed he left 2 door tags, which of course he didn't. I checked those numbers for the Sept. 2014 delivery. They were expired tag numbers from April and July at a time when I was out of the state from April to August and didn't place any orders!!!
Now this week I placed an order with Macy's and unfortunately they chose FedEx and this time it originated from the Leetsdale PA office, which is just as horrible. They knocked lightly (if at all) and left no door tag and never called me even though my number was in the delivery instructions. When they do show up they park on my side of the building and I can't see the truck with the off-street parking.
I emailed customer service over a dozen times and even got on live chat. They of course gave phony apologies and excuses, then said they'd call that office's dispatcher and make sure all drivers knew to call me and knock loudly on the building so at least people downstairs would hear. I have to stand by my front window since 8:30 a.m. and attempt to see the truck every few minutes for hours, like I have nothing to do. Today, the third day in a row of this nonsense (Jan. 21st), the same thing happened again!!! The driver put a door tag on the tracking page but there was none left outside. And no one heard any knock. It makes me wonder if he even showed up and just put a tag number online to make it look good so he could go elsewhere.
Live chat was no help, just full of excuses as always. I canceled a doctor's appt so I could be home for this delivery, and now they're "attempting" delivery a fourth day in a row when I rescheduled my appt and will not cancel this time for nothing! They said I could pick it up somewhere else. The only way I can do that is take the bus downtown then walk 15 minutes back to the bus stop with my package, assuming it isn't too big for me. I'm not doing that in 30-degree weather and cold snow and shouldn't have to. I refused, then they said I could schedule a date and time when I'll be home. Hello, is this ON??? What good would that do when the horrible drivers don't knock so anyone can hear and won't call my number to say they're out front - if they show up at all???
This unacceptable service and worthless customer service is what we get!!! This is why I try to avoid online retailers who ship by FedEx, but wasn't aware that Macy's would be doing this to me when their website states they also ship by UPS - a reliable, professional carrier. But they didn't give me a choice. I'll be contacting them and telling them I want a refund and will never order from them again. FedEx's Facebook page is an even bigger joke.

He has charged me BCD (Basic Customs Duty) [10%]+ CVD (Countervailing Duty/Additional Duty of Customs) [12%]+ EDU.CESS (Education Cess) [3%] + SAD (Special Additional Duty) [4%] = 28.85%. Here above: the funny thing, I could not understand how these fellows have added EDU.CESS, where my product does not belong to any educational department.

I was told I can issue my own invoice, so I did it in triplicate as I was told, and then took the book and the invoices to Parcel Plus, an authorized FedEx location in Alexandria, Virginia on Thursday, January 8, 2015 to be shipped by FedEx International Ground and was assured it will reach my friend by Wednesday, January 14th. I asked them specifically if I needed anything else and was told no, it was all fine.
On Saturday, January 10, 2015 I went online on my FedEx account to track the package and saw a FedEx "Exception" notice, stating that the paperwork was incomplete and/or recipient address was incorrect! I knew that the latter was not the case because I know that address by heart. So I called FedEx and asked for help. I was told the data was not on their system yet and I should call later to check, which I did and then they asked me again for the tracking number which I gave them, but they told me it was an incorrect number and I should give them the right number! I told them that was the FedEx-generated reference number and I didn't have any other one. Like a broken record, the girl repeated several times it was not the right number and I should give her the correct number! Federal Express could not find their own tracking number!
Then I was transferred to their "Web Support" division and a woman with an African-American accent tried to help me generate the shipping documents all over again but she did not know the difference between an "Exporter" and an "Importer" so the communication broke down again. I called FedEx again later on and still they could not find the tracking number or my package, so they told me I should go to the drop-off location (where they simply accepted the package to be passed on to FedEx!) and asked them for clarification; well, by then that location was closed.
So I called back on Sunday the 11th. This time, a man with an Indian accent answered the phone, took down the tracking number and said he was going to put me on hold for 2-3 minutes to research and come back. 45 minutes later I was still holding before he came to tell me he was still searching and put me on hold for another 12-14 minutes, but only to come back and tell me that he could not find the tracking number and any trace of my shipment! I told him that I can see the tracking number and shipment on their website, but I was told they can't see it and I should call the next day.
So I called again on Monday the 12th and at first I was told that they could not find the number or the shipment, but then she said she located it and the person in charge of the international shipments won't be in until 2 pm and that I will receive a call from her. That person, Aylsa ** called me and said I need to generate specific commercial invoices and I should go on FedEx.com and do that, and then print and e-mail them to her. She said she couldn't guide me step-by-step and I should call FedEx and ask for help. So I did, and I was transferred to their support division.
Once again I got a female with an African-American accent who started telling me how to fill out a form but she, too, was uncertain about some entries and gave me incorrect instructions, so she winged it. But then there was no commercial invoice there to print and as it turned out, she had guided me through generating a return label instead of a commercial invoice! At that point, I asked her if I could go to the location where the package is and just pick it up and ship it otherwise... she said she had no idea what I was asking her! I had to repeat and rephrase my question three times until she grasped what I was asking and then said she supposed I could, she didn't know. So I called Aylsa and asked her to set the package aside so I could go there and pick it up the next day.
This package was supposed to be in Canada on Wednesday January 14th, but it is still sitting in FedEx facilities in Lorton, Virginia at this very moment! Federal Express has wasted my time and frustrated me to no end with their ludicrous system and a whole caboodle of genuinely unskilled staff members who don't seem to know their left hand from their right. I am so disgusted and outraged by this total squalid and totally unacceptable performance and service.

I will NOT ever use Fedex again for any shipping for personal or business use. I was extremely let down with the customer service of Fedex. I would also NEVER recommend them to anyone. I was met with several rude customer service reps right off the bat when trying to schedule a pick up at our location for an international shipment.
First off I scheduled a pick up and he showed up late the first time and I was in a meeting, didn't show up AT ALL the second time and the third time he was late AGAIN when I was in a meeting. Now the FOURTH time I am waiting AGAIN for the late driver now several hours late. I do not have time to sit around and wait for him to take his time.
Customer Service cannot do anything for you if you don't have a tracking number. Although their delivery driver picked our package up and took it with him, with no one on premise and left no tracking #. They did not have proper information to ship the international shipment so instead of returning to us right away, they waited a week until I had to call customer service to try and find the package. I find out it has been sitting in the station, and was told our number is disconnected which it is not. Either way our address is the same so why was it not automatically returned to us? Instead it was thrown on a shelf and forgotten about.
When I call customer service I am met with a lot of dead ends, for myself and the person on the other end of the phone. First they tell me it is impossible for the driver to take a package without anyone on site without a label (yet he did) and then they are unable to track any package that does not have a tracking # (Yet he did not leave information for us).
The professional level of this driver is slim to none and the company itself is doing nothing to cure the disappointed I have for Fedex. Our customer is in need of this package and now we are weeks behind because FEDEX cannot get it together. I ask for compensation to our customer (who is paying for the shipping) for the EXTREME delay on receiving the package they have already purchased, I am met with the "we can not do anything to help you." This will be the last time I use fedex for any of our shipping needs. We need a carrier that will get our package to the customer on time, that actually own a watch and can show up for a scheduled pick up on time.

My dad died just before Thanksgiving (my mom passed about 3 years ago), and one of the items in their house that I wanted to have is a beautifully and intrinsically hand-carved wooden swan that they had purchased when they lived in Hong Kong. It was about 15 pounds, and about 2 feet in length. I took the swan and a few other small items to Pak Mail in Seneca SC to have them shipped to me at home, and I emphasized to Andrew at Pak Mail how fragile this swan was in particular. The wood itself was not fragile but the long swan neck could be broken if it was abused. Andrew assured me that they would pack the shipment with the utmost care and ensure its safe delivery. The shipping alone was about $185. I insured the shipment for $200, thinking that even if the swan arrived slightly damaged, it should be able to be repaired by a good woodworker for about that amount.
The box arrived more than a week later, a HUGE box, about 4 feet by 3 feet by 2 feet, and upon opening the box, which was very full of Styrofoam peanuts and bubble wrap, the wooden swan's neck had been broken. It was a clean break. I called Pak Mail, who asked me to go get an estimate from a local woodworker. I did so and sent him the estimate (under $200), where his instructions were that I should wait to hear from him and he would file a claim with FedEx. I sent him pictures of the broken swan, as well as pictures of the box which showed no external visible damage.
Several days later, a FedEx truck came to my house, and the driver asked to pick up the broken swan. What? I did not know he was coming. Nobody had said anything to me about this. I told the FedEx driver that I did not have the box anymore, and questioned him about whether or not the swan could be transported safely. He thought for a moment, then said that FedEx "does this all the time" and that he would ensure its safety. Although not offered, I would not let him take the swan without a receipt, so he (grudgingly) gave me a receipt with a claim number.
I called Pak Mail and told them about this. Andrew was upset since he said he had specifically told FedEx “NOT” to pick up the swan, but he said since I did not know any better nor had been told anything differently, it would be ok. Not having heard anything from FedEx a week later, I called FedEx to inquire about the status of the swan, since I wanted to go ahead and get it repaired at the woodworker who had given me the estimate. After being transferred several times, I was told that the swan "had been damaged beyond recognition, and FedEx had DISPOSED of it". What?? DISPOSED OF IT? That was NOT their call and what about the driver who said he could transport it safely?? The FedEx supervisor took my statement to file a complaint against the driver but I knew in my heart that that would go nowhere.
Talking and emailing with Linda ** of FedEx (who apparently is the FedEx contact for Pak Mail), she finally told me after several more weeks that FedEx would take no responsibility for this, and that since the insurance claim for $200 had been paid (and Pak Mail also felt bad enough about this to refund the $185 paid for shipping), that they would close this case. I told her repeatedly that even if one were to ignore the tremendous sentimental value of a very special item owned by my recently deceased parents, several Google searches showed that purchasing a replacement equivalent piece would be $500-$1000.
FedEx has demonstrated their willful destruction of personal property, their negligence in handling it properly, their unwarranted decision to DISPOSE OF IT (their exact words), and their unwillingness to do anything about it. Is that the kind of company YOU want to use to ship items that have ANY value to you at all? For me in the future, no way.

I’m an eBay seller for over a year now. Ship antique lamps out of the country using USPS, no problem. Ship within the states using FedEx and the lamps and shades in two separate boxes completely destroyed. The boxes arrived damaged on top which were wet and torn per the receiver. The porcelain lamps broken and the lampshades torn and bent. Boxes marked fragile, packed with peanuts after carefully wrapping lamps and shades protected using moving blankets. Company customer service and management says they can't be responsible for damaged items received. Furious that they are a shipping company that won't take responsibility for fragile items received in condition they were in and the boxes shipped in looking like they'd been through the mill. WARNING: do not ship your fragile items with this shipper. I won't use them for anything. They have poor customer service and all they care about is getting items there, not the condition which they arrive in. Absolutely horrible!!!

A signature is not required for a small shipment from Macy's, but the driver will not leave the package on my covered front porch. First attempt I was surprised that the package was not left since no sig. required. Second ALLEGED attempt was on New Year's Eve, where I waited all morning for the package, only to track the package and see that he CLAIMS he was here while I was still home. He lied, as he was not here. I called and told them that it is OK to leave the package on the porch, and also informed them that the driver falsely logged a delivery attempt (for which they seemed entirely indifferent). Third attempt was early in the morning, but knowing that I left instructions to leave the package, I didn't bother to drop what I was doing and answer the door. Guess what? No package. I called again and asked why he didn't follow my instructions. CS rep. says "It is up to the driver's discretion to leave the package." I asked what criteria drivers use, and she said, "At his discretion." I don't even know what that means. In 15 years at this home, NO carriers has EVER refused to leave a package, including Fed Ex! What is Fed Ex up to? They are intentionally failing deliveries in order to get sender's to pay for a re-ship?? Something is not right here. I had to call Macy's and ask for a re-ship.

Package NOT delivered...tracking states delivery by 12/24 8 pm. Package loaded 8:57 am for delivery RETURNED TO FACILITY at 5:51 PM... NO delivery attempt as I was home all day waiting for arrival! Called customer service about 7:30 and got 5 or 6 unacceptable responses ie: driver must have had an emergency, truck problems, he was too busy to finish (2 hours early, that was a head scratcher), etc, etc...THEN about 30 minutes later I see on the tracking site that not one but TWO delivery exceptions appear for the same time 5:00. That was obviously after I called customer service to ask why it was returned to the facility. Funny, I sure as heck didn't request a different delivery. Maybe the practice of hiring independent contractors as delivery drivers as to not pay benefits, they should realize that you get what you pay for. Or maybe it's standard operating procedure to misrepresent customers by fabricating requests to save face.

I ordered a package delivered overnight. They attempted to deliver yesterday (12/23/14), but no one was home. They voided the signature section, so I would have to be home for delivery. I called to change that and they would not. I also asked that they give me a deliver time for 12/24. They told me it would be after 4pm, likely. They came at 1:30 when, again, I was not here and would not leave the package. I then called and asked for a 2nd attempt. They said the driver would likely make it back and they would call w/in two hours. I called them after 3 hours and was informed I would have to drive to their office to pick up the package.
As I am leaving town tomorrow, this is incredibly inconvenient and defeats the purpose of overnight delivery. Their customer "advocate" simply said, "Sorry. Nothing we can do." No attempts to fix, offers to deliver in the morning or offers to eat the cost of the delivery. I was even told they cannot follow up with second attempts and apologized for prior person's promise.

I am the person who would rather write about a job well done than what I'm going to share. It starts out that I sold something to a customer for his 10 year old son in Florida for Christmas. I use usps or on occasion UPS but the customer wanted to overnight the package and be billed to his FedEx account. I agreed to give it a go only because it was Dec 22 and I wanted the boy to have his package in time for Christmas.
I anticipated there to be some time involved because I didn't have an established account but what I went through was ridiculous. I'm going to condense this because it will just get my blood to boil all over again. I spoke to seven different customer service representatives, was told seven different things and disconnected three times. After over 2 1/2 hours of absolute ridiculousness I had a new account and had the request all filled out with a tech support person online throughout to ensure that there were no errors in billing, pick up or delivery. The package was to be picked up before 6 pm that day.
6 pm came and went. The customer contacts me asking why package is not showing up in tracking. I call FedEx and the guy tells me, “oh it will be picked up tomorrow after 12 but before 6.” I calmly tell him the story and I'm looking at my computer and it says scheduled pick up 12-22...what can I do at this point? OK it's busy and I guess the fact that the customer is paying FedEx $56 to get his package overnighted didn't matter to them so let's see if they can get it tomorrow.
Now this is where I lose it. Customer notifies me around 5 pm that the package wasn't picked up yet and made a call in which he was informed a pickup was not ever scheduled. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! I call FedEx and still haven't screamed or yelled but informed the lady I was really, really unhappy. I am driving and do not have info on me but she does some research on her computer and tells me the same thing that there is not a pickup time scheduled, I am beginning to lose any patience left and I had her recheck...ironically the driver had been there at 5:11 pm and there WAS NO PACKAGE! Now I am really mad. It is around 5:30 and I tell the rep to call the truck and make her drive back because we have tripped over that package for 2 days. There is no way it could have been missed unless the driver never went.
You can draw your own conclusion on the next part...within 5 minutes time the representative tells me she dispatched truck and has wonderful news. The driver has my package! That it's in the possession of the driver and will be on the plane to Florida tonight! I will find out today if it gets to Florida and the drama is over but I'm really baffled on how the driver notated there wasn't a package to pick up and was able to turn around and get it (in a very rural area) when a good 15 minutes had passed since leaving the pickup destination.
Today is the 24th and we will find out if it made it and if the billing is done correctly. I hope so because this has been a horrible experience. It is unacceptable in every way on what transpired and I am completely disappointed in FedEx. I have nothing good to say after this experience. At the very least I would expect FedEx to refund the $56 charge for this to my customer.

This complaint is about the theft of my US passport while in the custody of FEDEX and FEDEX's negligence towards my security and unwillingness to refund me for expenses incurred while obtaining a new passport and visa. I filed a complaint with Fedex (FEDEX CLAIM NUMBER **).
On March 2, 2014 I FedExed my passport to VisaHQ of San Francisco in order to obtain a visa to travel overseas on April 13, 2014. VisaHQ obtained my visa and FedExed my passport back to me on Friday March 14, 2014 (tracking number **). On Monday March 17, 2014 FedEx delivery man Mr. Armando ** delivered an envelope from VisaHQ. Upon feeling that the envelope was very light, I opened it (with some difficulty as it had been scotch taped) in front of Mr. **: the envelope was empty: there was NO passport or anything else in the envelope. On inspection it was obvious the envelope had been tampered with. I immediately reported this to the sheriff’s office who came to my house to take down the particulars. I have also reported the theft of my passport to the U.S. State Department. My passport was immediately nullified. I have to replace it. The application process is as if I had never had a passport.
I wish to comment on the disappearance of my passport while in the custody of FEDEX. I have no way of knowing how the contents of the FEDEX envelope went missing or how the opening of the FEDEX envelope came to be scotch taped. What I do know is that my passport disappeared on your watch. It travelled in different FedEx locations for 3 days. The passport was very likely taken by FEDEX employees. As you well know, the theft of a U.S. passport is a very serious offense.
FEDEX indicates that the claim was settled with the shipper (VISAHQ). It is true that FEDEX sent $100 to VISAHQ and called it a settlement. The shipper did not steal my passport. My passport was stolen while being transported back to me by FEDEX. It is incredible that FEDEX abrogates all responsibility for the theft of my passport placing the responsibility on the shipper. Both the shipper, VisaHQ, and I placed our trust on FEDEX to deliver the passport to me safely. This was not done. The theft of a US passport is a class D felony. FEDEX is a large multinational company that takes the illogical and reckless position that it is not responsible for its employees opening envelopes and stealing their contents.
I have two concerns. The first one has to do with security and the second with money owed to me by FEDEX: 1) The theft of a US passport should be taken as a very serious matter, particularly in these days of heightened national security concerns. 2) FEDEX sent $100 to VisaHQ as if VisaHQ had sustained the loss. It is I who sustained the loss, not VisaHQ. And it was on FEDEX's watch, not VisaHQ's, that my passport was stolen. I ask that I be reimbursed $766 ($866 minus the $100 that VisaHQ has sent me). I have all the documentation of my expenses to replace my passport and visa and can send it to you upon request.
I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and with the AZ Attorney General. FEDEX has responded by saying that the claim was settled by sending $100 to the shipper (VISAHQ). FEDEX has indicated that their policy is I am not their client, and that the shipper (VISAHQ) is the client, a ridiculous policy since I am the damaged party. It would seem that nobody can do anything about FEDEX stealing a passport. Indeed, the BBB has stated that FEDEX's policy is what it is. I continue to pursue the complaint with that AZ Attorney General, although their first response has been that FEDEX considers the complaint "satisfactorily resolved". I would be most grateful if you could investigate this situation. I cannot believe that nothing can be done to protect a consumer such as myself against such gross negligence. I would like to have FEDEX admission of negligence and a refund for the expenses I incurred when I had to have a new passport and visa rushed to me ($766). By the way, FEDEX made a lot of money out of this as I used their rush delivery for both the new passport and the new visa.

I'll start with the first one. A few months back I ordered online and the packages were to be delivered through fed ex. Received the tracking number and expected delivery date. Well the day came and went. No package. Checked the tracking number and said item was delivered. Hmm. So I called fed ex. All I got was that it was delivered and I would gave to file a claim. Long story short. Two days later my neighbor who I barely knew at the time said they had a package for me. Fed ex stated that because I wasn't home they delivered it to my neighbor and they even signed for it. Wow!!! That was a 200$ item.
On to the 2nd strike! I ordered 350$ in perishable items from a company and it was shipped through fed ex. I thought ok they will just leave it at my door and I'll be able to pick it up when I get off work. No signature was required. So tracking number was provided and notified by the company when the items were shipped. Shipped on a Saturday and thought for sure I would receive by Tuesday at the latest. Tuesday came and went, nothing!! Wednesday, Thursday still nothing. By this time I was getting concerned because of being perishable items. Friday came and still nothing so I thought ok I need to check the tracking number and find out what's going on. I have ordered from this company many times and never has it taken this long. Checked the tracking number and said items were delivered on Wednesday!! What?? Wait a minute. No they were not. And so I scroll down the page to see that the items were handed off to the usps. NOT GOOD!!! I rarely check my mailbox but maybe once a week now that mostly everything I do is online. I also live in an apartment complex so all mail is delivered to a central location.
I ran to check my mail and sure enough there was my perishable items shoved in two separate large package bins that had been there for 3 days in the Florida heat. No notice from either party!! My question is as a consumer how if I am paying for one delivery method can they justify handing it off to a third party and not notifying me!! This is really poor business practices and I will be sure to call the company that I ordered from to please never ever ever ship anything through fed ex again unless I specify on my order form. Fed ex has already gotten an earful from me and was basically told that that is how they do business but I'm sure they could care less what I say or think. To them I am nothing but a delivery destination that they obviously cannot fulfill. So I have learned my lesson on this one and there will NOT be a 3rd time!!!

Two days in a row I have waited on a package. Each day the FedEx site says "Deliver Exception". When I called to complain they told me the driver would have left a Notice. Both days I was here and on the second day I was in the front yard when the Website said the delivery was attempted. There was never a Notice left. A delivery truck did not come by and did not stop. I have been here for over 13 years and UPS has never done this but FedEx has this problem frequently. They need more trustworthy drivers.

Fedex thought my house was the neighbor's. The neighbor signed and realized was the wrong address. Since she signed it was considered delivered but the fedex guy took my package back to fedex location that is not very close to my house. Now I cannot schedule another delivery or a rerouting of my package because it is considered "delivered." I tried to go to the Fedex location to get it but couldn't find the location and they said there is nothing they can do to reroute the package because it is considered delivered. Great Fedex! When I asked the Fedex guy to come after my work hours he said he could not schedule a delivery but at the same time he required a signature, which means I have to stay the whole day at home waiting for a package or they will wrongly deliver to a neighbor and consider it delivered! Fedex, I am hating you right now! I am going to remember not to use Fedex again.

FedEx was to deliver a package to my home. Contacted customer service four times and requested they contact the local dispatch for information on delivery. On four occasions I was told the package would be delivered before 3. I had to leave the home for 10 minutes at 3:05 PM, I made this very clear to each individual I spoke with, they communicated this with the driver. I left my home at 3:07 pm and arrived back at 3:15 pm. The driver magically came at 3:12 pm, the exact time frame he was communicated that I would not be available. For a 12-hour window I have made myself available in the home to wait for this package, explaining that just under 10 minutes I would not be available. This very short time frame was communicated directly with the driver and he magically arrived during that exact time frame. There was a detailed note on the door requesting the next door neighbor received the package, this was verified as an option with customer service. I personally feel this was done on purpose and do not understand how a company expects individuals to wait for their entire day and will not leave the item as requested and communicated directly with them. I will never use FedEx for anything again and now fully understand why so many people are so dissatisfied with their service. This is beyond poor customer service.

The package damaged was sent to me by a reliable Ebay & was clearly damaged by Fedex. Fedex failed to even pick up shipment- made me (recipient) photo damage & claimed box was not sufficiently damage to have damaged the item. The box was extremely heavy cardboard & you could see where something had been dropped on it that bent the INSIDE of the box. The box around the item was also damaged. I've used Fedex for 35 years and lately they seem to just routinely deny all claims even when they are valid.
Updated 2/14/2015:
The worst - they use these scanned delivery confirmations as "proof" that they have delivered the package correctly. My brother's Christmas gift sent January 2 went astray not doubt to a neighbor who enjoyed the nuts and chocolates and kept the presents. My brother was home when it was supposed to have been delivered to their porch, though their 4 dogs make a ruckus when you get within 20 feet of their front door.
It appears to me that you would have to sue them in Shelby County, Tennessee. I'm looking into and will call their legal department on Monday. Since I go to Memphis occasionally with my business, I intend to get my $100 insurance on this package worth twice that.
I'm really fed up with Fedex getting away with this--their insurance is worthless. They damaged a brand new car sent thru their motor vehicle delivery division back in 2008 and denied the claim though the Fedex driver freely admitted that he had damaged it by slamming on the brakes trying to pull it into my driveway. I let it go and just sprayed the damage to the underside of the bumper with Rustoleum.
The guy who denied was totally snotty and claimed that the claim was not made by their deadline (though I sent the claim by registered mail return receipt) and told me to "sue me". I've been in business for 30 years and at one time I used Fedex almost exclusively but since 2008 I rarely use them. Big mistake to give them another chance.

I am an eBay seller and I have been using Federal Express Ground for about 80% of my sales. I shipped an item via Federal Express Ground to San Francisco and I had given the buyer in SF the tracking number. The buyer called FE and paid $10.00 to have the deliver date changed to two days later because he would not be home (FE Ground delivers a package whether the person is at home or not, regardless of insurance value). Federal Express delivered the package anyway disregarding the call to change the date. The customer never received the package. I have been trying for two months to get the money back via a claim.
First, FE denied the claim because a signature was not requested (which is extra by the way and I assumed a $200.00 item would not be left at someone's door!!!). I told them the buyer had called FE and paid $10.00 to change the delivery date, yet FE delivered the package anyway. FE said they had no knowledge or documentation of the $10.00 paid. So the buyer sent me his receipt for the $10.00 he paid to change the date (BTW, the shipper has to file the claim and the receiver can do nothing.) I call FE and they seemed stunned I had the receipt and that I had been working with the buyer to get a refund.
Finally, I talk to a manager and he said they did not need a copy of the receipt and I would get a refund. 30 days later no refund in the mail. I call FE and they say they sent a refund!?!?! Now they are saying they are going to send a voucher. Stay tuned on this one!!! And for some background information: Federal Express Ground delivery people are contracted and are not employees of Federal Express, yet Federal Express make the contracted employees follow all the Federal Express rules, plus the contracted employees have to buy their own uniforms, trucks, materials, etc. These contracted employees also have filed a class action suit against Federal Express and Federal Express is fighting it tooth and nail. From what I have been reading, even if you buy insurance with FE Ground, you will never get a refund for lost or damaged goods. It truly is shocking that an American company of this stature conducts business in such a manner, it's truly a disgrace.

They informed me that my package was delivered this past Monday. WTF. What is the point to call to have my package held if you're still going to deliver it? It made no sense when I tracked the package it clearly states hold package upon customer request. They told me that they were going to investigate and that they would contact me within two hours. They called me within an hour, but stated they have to look into it and will contact the driver and that it may take up to 24/48 hours.
The driver told them that he left my package behind the gate. What gate? I requested that this driver show me the mysterious gate he left my package behind. They informed me that the driver is out in the area and that he would contact me with the number I provided. He did not come out, nor did he give me a call. A rep called this morning and stated that the driver could not retrieve my package. No **. She went on to state that I call to reorder my items. I couldn't bear I was going to say things I shouldn't say so I hung up the phone. The lack of common sense, why deliver a package that clearly states hold for customer to pickup? This is unacceptable and ridiculous. Should I call every minute to make sure my package is going where it needs to be? This never happens. So frustrated.

My daughter's father shipped her a gift from overseas and was told by the fedex agent when shipping not to select anything regarding who to bill the duties/taxes/fees that would be assessed when sending to the US (where we are) and they could not let him prepay the charge (because they hadn't assessed it until it entered the US). Normally the shipper selects who should be billed those charges, but since he was directed by the fedex agent not to, he didn't. A bill came in our daughter's name (she is 8) because she was the recipient (fedex has no way of knowing how old the recipient is or even if they are a real person, so this seems pretty stupid to be a default. Would think default would be the shipper who is at least verifiable & would be aware there could be charges).
Additionally, fedex just left the package, no signature & no confirmation of acceptance on behalf of the recipient for any charges to be billed, was received by fedex when leaving the package. Her father was supposed to pay the bill, but it didn't go to him. It came to our daughter but he tried to pay online anyway & it wouldn't go through for some reason and he ran out of options on his end (he is overseas) to pay the bill, so a second bill came and I called fedex to have the bill reverted to his name so that he could pay it. I was transferred to "revenue services" & they said they can't reverse it to the shipper unless they checked it off on the air bill, which I explained he hadn't (because he was told not to) and they she said she can just put a note that customer refused the bill, but I do not want this sitting on our daughter's name or messing up her credit in any way in the future (still not sure how putting in a kid's name is legal). I was then transferred to a "supervisor" mailbox & left a voice mail & requested a call back and resolution, but to date no call has been received (a week later).
I also told the representative & stated in the voicemail that Fedex has all contact information to call, email or mail to her father and resolve the issue (his address, email & phone # were all provided when he shipped it, it's even included with the copy of the bill as well), but has failed to do so. Several email complaints were submitted to fedex online and all email replies only kept telling me to call the revenue services department (which each time I explained that they were not helpful & never returned my call either). It has been a week of dealing with fedex by both myself and her father & this remains in our daughter's name as a past due bill & is unresolved. The only resolution is to remove this bill from our daughter's name immediately. How can we accomplish this when it has been repeatedly requested & fedex has done nothing?

FedEx didn't send it out on delivery to the retail business on Black Friday because they "assumed the business would be closed." A) That is a very poor assumption that any business is closed on Black Friday; B) Checking the internet would have told them in less than 5 minutes that the business was in fact open on Black Friday and always closed on Mondays (the day they had "assumed" it would be open). It took 5 different representatives before I finally got tired of seeing the buck passed and ask who I talk to about getting an outright refund.

The bottom line is this driver didn't feel like delivering these 2 packages so they claim nobody is here. Well just inside the door is the office which is staffed until 6PM, and my wife gets home from work at noon daily. I took today off to make sure there were no delivery problems.

From Shipper to Houston seemed to be flawless. Tracking was very easy. However, somewhere between the delivery truck and the next 12 hours disaster. I was available at the delivery address all day, I even made up a sign for FedEx with the address so it could not be missed. After waiting all day, I checked tracking again. It showed a delivery cropped at a door. I immediately attempted to notify FedEx, response from WEB-master which duplicated the tracking report. I notified the shipper. Same story they (FedEx) claim it was delivered. I physically went to a live FedEx facility. The employees were most kind, sympathetic and helpful. They notified FedEx that I was in the building looking for my package. I have heard nothing since. The shipper got his money---Fed Ex got their money the person paying for all this got diddly. Attitude seems to be tough **. To anybody using that particular service I can only say "Buyer Beware." Apparently the ground rates to the shipper are favorable. I assume I will eventually get my money back, but in the meantime the package that I purchased was something I needed to insure the safety of my vehicle. I will still have to purchase it and the time wasted chasing things down will in essence double the cost to me.
