    The driver pulled his van into the driveway, handed me the package, and instead of turning around, he backed all the way out and ran over the mailbox. Thinking that I didn't see him, he quickly left. I called and filed a report with FedEx and they gave me a case number and said that someone would get back with me by the next day. That same evening, Harry ** came out and took pictures with his CELL PHONE and told me that he would call me back the next day with his decision. I also gave him pictures that I had taken. Next day rolled around and no call. When we called them, we found out that he had gone on vacation the day before.

    Today (Tuesday), after being given the runaround with several so-called representatives over a 4 or 5 day period, we were told that the tire tracks from the pictures of the mailbox didn't match the tires. They were not going to pay for the damages. I witnessed the driver running over the mailbox with my own eyes so FedEx is calling me a liar. Great way to treat the customer. It makes me wonder what would have happened if it had been something like another vehicle, a pet or a person. From the driver to the offices, they are totally unaccountable and they have lost my respect AND all of my future business!

    A large Federal Express truck with trailer pulled up behind me at a high rate of speed. And he commenced honking his horn at me. It was not safe to pull my car into the next lane, because drivers were merging on to the highway (I-405 Northbound in Portland, OR) right at the exit to go on Hwy 26.

    Sharon lied and indicated that the package had not arrived but FedEx tracking website indicated that package arrived at FedEx-Savannah, GA at 9:19 a.m. on 08-15-11. Same package returned last week by FedEx-Savannah indicating no such address. But package had correct address.

    Package was delivered to Savannah Fedex at 9:19 a.m. on 08-15-11, per FedEx tracking website. The apartment complex is small. Abercorn St. is the main street in Savannah GA.

    The delivery guy from FedEx claimed he attempted to deliver my package. I checked tracking ALL day to make sure it goes here. To my surprise, when I checked again, it said deliver attempted. Well, there was NO delivery attempted whatsoever. There was no doorbell, knock on the door, OR post-it stating an attempt of delivery was made. I called the customer service and they told me that they will attempt tomorrow. How am I supposed to trust you when you didn't even attempt today!

    The customer service contacted the station and the person there said they couldn't get a hold of the delivery person. How did that happened in 2011? Unless the driver is out in the boonies, there is no possible way he cannot be contacted. I am extremely upset at this situation and would never again trust FedEx.

    I am reaching this organization in the hope that someone can help me resolve the absurd issue that the FedEx office in Campinas, Brazil created for me as a customer.

    On July 20 my mother shipped a package from Curitiba, Brazil to Miami, it was a hand made porcelain picture for me. I started tracking the package and in the first three days the package got stuck at customs in Brazil. No one contacted me. I called the US FedEx office in Campinas, Brazil and they told me that my mother should have filled a form that states that the merchandise has no commercial value, which they should have instructed her to do at the point of dispatch. It took 5 days of communicating with someone with an email address of davi.bueno.osv@fedex.com who had absolutely no training to attend to customers and did not explain how to decipher any of the terms in the form.

    I logged a formal complaint which didn't produce any results. Finally I sent the form and I received an email from Davi saying “ok, received.”

    Assuming that all was okay, I called the next day and the person from customer service could not say where the package was. After 20 minutes on the phone and being charged of international call rates, they told me that the item was still stuck at customs and all was broken so they do not know what to do. I told them to send it to me anyway.

    My mother had been calling the store from where she sent the gift. She also went there and the person whom she was talking to was extremely rude and demonstrated absolutely no interest in resolving the problem.

    At this stage, I have spent a fortune in international calls, the item which have a personal value was broken, and FedEx cannot even send it back to my mother or to me here in the US. That's still not including the stress that my mother and I had been through because of the complete disregard of FedEx employees. This experience with FedEx had been the worst customer experience of my life. It had been a torture, an episode of black horror.

    Can anyone help me understand how I can be reimbursed for the cost of shipping, all the useless phone calls and the stress that we've been through?

    I am so upset! I took a full day off work to wait for my package to come. I lost wages and felt sick all day from lack of sleep over this, just to wait and wait, call and call customer service (which, by the way, all the calls went to some other country).

    I was told over and over that they have until 8:00PM to deliver. Then I was told they have until midnight to deliver! What a crock of **!

    Now it's 9:00PM and the driver is a no-show. So, waste of a full day of work for nothing. They need to do something about this.

    At approximately 1:00 PM, my doorbell rang. I did not want my dogs getting out therefore I went through the garage to the front door.

    The FedEx driver was at the door and he did not give me any greeting, only literally shoved the electronic machine at me, took his pen and scribbled on the signature box then handed me the pen.

    I removed the cap and was going to give my signature. He then took the pen, put the cap back on and again scribbled on the signature screen.

    All this happened with no conversation. I then said to him, “I don't know what you want.” His reply was, "I showed you the first time," and returned the pen to me. Again I told him I did not understand what he was trying to show me and he repeated that he had showed me and I didn't do it.

    Finally it dawned on me that I did not have to remove the cap on the pen. I signed over his scribbles and handed him back the pen. He then asked what my name was. I told him it was Archibald and he looked at me then walked away.

    I have had many FedEx deliveries and all the previous drivers have been friendly and courteous. I was so angry at this driver’s arrogance and rudeness it has taken me an hour to calm down.

    I shipped a package via FedEx (tracking #852150471916) on 12/19/09 to Hollywood, Florida, and it never reached its destination, was never scanned, nor ever found. In fact, any and all efforts to convince the company to find out what happened and to even try to find the package were met with an unprecedented level of rudeness and discourtesy, the likes of which I have never encountered from any company I have ever dealt with. That I had been a loyal customer of FedEx for nearly 10 years didn't seem to matter one iota to them.

    This has been a now nearly 18-month struggle. The above named person is one of the chief offenders in this drama. She resorted to an exceptional level of rudeness and nastiness, even going as far to resort to forcing me to deal with the head of FedEx Security in NYC, even though it isn't a security matter, slandering me throughout customer service, instructing everyone there to route any call I make there to either her or this FedEx Security thug in NY who has threatened to have me arrested if I ever call again. All for simply trying to get answers about my missing package, which I believe is somewhere in their system at one of their facilities, misplaced and unaccounted for. Even efforts by local consumers affairs agencies, attorneys and my local political representative on my behalf were rebuffed by these people.

    It has been two days and the FedEx package (Tracking Number: **) still has not been delivered as promised. I contacted 1-800-GOFEDEX(463-3339) and filed a case. FedEx stated that a delivery was attempted on 28 July 11 a 8:36 p.m., after office hours and no one was at business. We were here and we have a 24-hour video security but no FedEx driver ever made an attempt to deliver because no door tag was left.

    I still don't have the package as of 29 July 11 at 8:45 a.m. so, I filed a complaint with case number: **. I did follow it up for several times but all I get is excuses. I have experienced this same problem on three separate occasions: 14 April 2010; 10 December 2009; and 11 November 2009. Everything was recorded. FedEx' upper management needs to do something about the Albany, Georgia Office. I welcome the opportunity to provide any information needed to improve customer service--a business should honor its delivery promises.

    Before leaving Mexico I shipped a parcel to a relative in the States. Using the online tracking system I saw the parcel arrived to FedEx office in Virginia where my relative lives. Next thing I know I'm receiving a text from my relative saying the package was back en route to Mexico! Turns out the lazy bums NEVER - never - tried to deliver the parcel to the house address but, instead, relied on telephoning the house. Since the phone was never answered FedEx returned the item from whence it came and refused to send it back to Virginia because the company didn't want to pay for the cost.

    Back in Mexico I figure I could have a friend pick it up. No dice. Mexican Customs assigned a $117usd cost to it and unless I 1) paid the Customs fee and 2) paid another delivery fee the parcel is to remain in FedEx warehouse...barring no employee has stolen it already.

    DO NOT USE FEDEX FOR DELIVERING. If I could give zero stars I would. I shipped a 10 x 12 x 12, 4.3lb package via FedEx on Saturday. Was told by employee on the phone that as long as I got the package to FedEx by 3PM it would go out that afternoon. Found out later (after calling customer service @ corporate) that shipments using Ground don't go out on Saturday. Apparently the employee shipped it Express - which I DID NOT want. Asked for the package to be in Laguna Niguel, CA by Wednesday. Shipping = $53.82. Really? WHAT A RIP-OFF.

    Asked if she could see whether delivery on Thursday or Friday would be cheaper, and she said no (found out later that this is COMPLETELY UNTRUE, after calling customer service @ corporate). I had no choice but to ship the package, it had to go out. Called customer service @ corporate to talk to an incredibly RUDE rep, interrupting me and having major attitude with me. Found out that clearly the rep in the FedEx office had NO CLUE what she was doing, and my wallet suffers. NEVER EVER SHIPPING FEDEX AGAIN!!!!! GO TO USPS OR UPS!!!

    Hello, my name is Susan **. I represent NWSS at 2064 Kettner Blvd # 36, San Diego, Ca 92101. We shipped a package with FedEx on 9-10-10. The tracking number is 102342415431466. The package was delivered to the wrong address. FedEx was unable to retrieve the package, and advised me to file a claim. I filed a claim and after months of waiting, I received a letter stating I was not the shipper because their system listed FedEx’s main office as the shipper. Apparently, this is done when you make a onetime credit card payment, and don't have an account number with them. After showing FedEx the charge on my credit card statement, FedEx finally admitted NWSS was the shipper.

    After several more months, I received a letter on 1-14-11 stating that my proof of purchase could not be validated. The letter had no contact information. I was not able to provide additional proof that I purchased the lost item, and I was dismissed. This unit was insured for $15,000, and just vanished in FedEx’s custody. They spent the entire investigation trying to find ways to discredit me as the shipper, and discredit my ownership of this equipment. FedEx admits to losing the package, yet never credited my original shipping of $118.19. I was not treated fairly by FedEx.

    This is about the unacceptable attitude and behavior of the expat Pakistani employee working at the FedEx office, on Exit-5 King Abdulaziz Road. Not only was the information provided to me about the arrival of two shipments was inaccurate (which forced me to drive to the location more than three times), but on July 20th, 2011, he also refused my entry to the FedEx office at around 7:00 PM under the pretext of prayer time.

    The documents sent to me through FedEx were important for a court hearing. If it wasn't for another expat Nigerian FedEx employee who showed me in the FedEx office, handed my two shipments, and saved the day, I would have addressed the issue through the local courts. It is amazing how the attitude and behavior of a low-ranking employee can have such a negative impact on an organization.

    I made a order on the 07/07/2011, and I was supposed to get it on 07/12/2011. The package was supposed to be delivered by Fedex SmartPost, but I never received it. I checked the package status online and it said it was already delivered. I called Fedex, and they kept giving me numbers, that would only operate by machine or they would never answer. I decided to write an e-mail to the customer support, and they replied that I should check with my neighbors and also gave me a phone number that I spent the whole day calling, and nobody would answer.

    I checked with all my neighbors and nobody knows anything. It is Fedex responsability to give the package in hands or ask for a signature. The delivery guy probably just left the package outside, didn't even ring the bell (because I was home all day), and left. This is a very irresponsable thing to do since, anybody can get the package. I'll be filling a lawsuit if I don't get my package until the end of this week.

    Despite providing a home address, my packages are consistently dumped at the apartment office with no delivery attempt made to my home--not even a note on my door that any delivery attempt was made.

    I am tired of excuses that the regular delivery driver was out, etc., or even no excuse at all. It is my understanding that you must pay an additional fee for home delivery; however, no attempt was made at home delivery. Was that not theft of service? This has happened consistently over a span of years and I am tired of paying for a service that I am not receiving.

    I live in an apartment community of several hundred residents, I do not feel that I could possibly be the only person that Fedex does this to. I feel they turn a blind eye to this practice because they collect the funds, they can give greater amounts of packages to their drivers to deliver by dumping them at apartment offices so it's a win-win situation for them and there is no incentive to rectify this situation. I have called numerous times over the years and yet this behavior continues and I feel it will continue until it costs them money.

    I will never, ever use FedEx again. FedEx delivered my package late due to what they said was a mechanical difficulty in Indianapolis. I immediately requested a refund through their telephone response system. After waiting a couple of months for a credit to come through on my credit card, I called FedEx to find out what happened on my credit. To my amazement, they are now claiming that the delay was weather related and refused to issue a refund. To support their revised version of the truth, they told me that a national weather statement was issued on May 26 for all packages scheduled to be delivered on May 27.

    FedEx believes the statement absolves them of any responsibility to deliver packages on time on May 27. The problem with this story is that my package was supposed to be delivered on May 26. All of these storms that FedEx claims which delayed shipments occurred after my package were supposed to be delivered. I just got done arguing with a FedEx supervisor on their customer service line for over half an hour. I tried explaining to him that their timeline justification for denial of the refund doesn't make sense. All I got was arguing out of him. I honestly can't believe any company would treat a customer like this. FedEx has just lost a customer for life. Oh, by the way, the package that was late: it was a proposal for business worth up to $40 million.

Anyway, on May 29th of 2011, FedEx.com reported that the package was on a vehicle out for delivery. I had an errand and was on my way back to my apartment about 10 minutes away at a walking pace. When I arrived, I checked the apartment building office after reading on FedEx.com that the package had been delivered at 9:25 am on May 29th of 2011 and signed reportedly by a B **. I was at the office asking about the name and the package. When I spoke with the apartment manager, she stated that there was no one by that name within the office, a staff nor a resident.

    I contacted FedEx and was told that the courier stated he entered through the office and that the office staff member opened the door for him and led him to my apartment door where he knocked until somebody answered the door. I live alone in my apartment, so no one would have been available to answer the door. The apartment office staff procedure for accepting packages addressed to their residents is to sign for the package on the residents/recipient’s behalf and then inform the resident that the package had arrived. The office staff that I spoke with on the day of May 29th, 2011 stated that no FedEx packages were delivered that morning.

    The store that I placed the order to was Play-Asia.com, which is based in Hong Kong. I had ordered from them a few times before and their shipping delivery address was always correct and had been delivered to me prior to the package that this complaint is about. The package has not been received as of June 24th, 2011. FedEx, whom I called several times on the matter, told me to contact my shipper. They also told me that they could do nothing more for me. I paid via debit card: $169.00 for the PlayStation 2, $39.90 for the converter and $69.40 for the shipping.

    I had shipped my item to Nigeria in early December. Suddenly, in the middle of January, my item had been found lost by FedEx at the warehouse. After two weeks of argument with FedEx representatives, they had agreed to give me some invoice to cover my lost. In the phone conversation, the representative agreed to pay me RM 1,000 of the lost (my lost was RM 1,500) and also the shipment cost (RM 140.70). FedEx also had promised me to deliver the check before 9 of February 2011, yet they failed to do that. I just received the check on February 18, 2011.

    I got so frustrated when I saw that the total amount was only RM 1,000, not as promised. So I called Mr. ** and he said, "That already includes everything." I told him that as a first-time customer, I am so frustrated because I lost all my trust to a global company like FedEx. They have led people to wrongly believe in their brand's promise or mission. I don't believe that FedEx really cares about customer care and I don't think that their staff hold the integrity and trust that we, customers, need from them.

    This is the first and the last time that I will send a shipment using your company. With this bad experience, I will surely tell all my friends and relatives to avoid using FedEx because we cannot believe in your promises anymore.

    I ordered computer parts to get 2 different medical clinics back up and running. The shipment went out on Thursday as expected and was to be a Friday morning delivery. At noon on Friday, I called FedEx as I had not received the shipment. I was told it had just arrived at DFW and that it would be delivered that afternoon. At 5:00 pm Friday, I called again and asked when the truck would be by to deliver the package. There had been FedEx trucks making deliveries all day here in Irving. So, I see no reason an overnight package would not also be delivered. There was bad weather so I understand a delay of maybe a few hours, as I still had to support all my clients. It just took me longer to get there than I had wanted.

    I was told that on Friday night no one had unloaded the package, and that they would have it unloaded first thing on Saturday morning. Now, I just assume that when you are behind, you still will try and catch up. And being an overnight delivery, I expected it to be delivered on Saturday. The 800 number said they would have the Irving office call as soon as the package was unloaded and on its way. I called again at noon on Saturday to ask where the package was. I was told it would be delivered on Monday. I explained that was not acceptable and that was not next day service. I asked if I could drive directly to the FedEx distribution to pick it up. The agent put me on hold and called to verify I could. I was told they would have it at the counter when I arrived. I drove to the FedEx but they did not have the package ready.

    I called back the 800 number to find out how to get a refund since they did not deliver the package as agreed. I was told I had to call 800-622-1147 to get claims resolved. I called as I was told. They told me that all I needed to do was contact the supplier and have them call this number, and they would credit their account since the package was not delivered. At that point, there were no notations on the shipment status. And as I have stated, FedEx was delivering packages all day Friday in Irving. Now, when I pulled up that shipment status, it showed delayed due to weather. So, FedEx claims they are not responsible for the delay.

    The supplier called. I was told there would be no refund as the shipment was delayed due to weather. That is not what the billing department told me and agreed to do. In fact, I was told today by the billing department that the shipment was flagged as delayed since Thursday. Again, it was just another lie from FedEx staff. They had the package in Dallas on Friday. They were delivering packages on Friday. And the shipment was not flagged as delayed due to weather until Sunday when I tracked it again just to see what their system was doing. I was told by the billing supervisor that FedEx is not required to put notices of weather delays on the package tracking pages.

    Thursday to Monday is not overnight delivery. My information was on the package and I should have been notified at the first delay. The fact is I still have never received a call from any FedEx person to notify me of the delay or to tell me they had the package unloaded or that it was being delivered. A delay would have been to deliver the package Friday afternoon instead of Friday morning. 4 days for a shipment is not overnight shipping. They were operating and delivering packages in the days in question. The airport is only a few hundred yards from the distribution facility and they did have the container. So, the only acceptable delay is with the plane that was 4-5 hours behind. The tracking number is **. This is unacceptable performance for an overnight delivery. This is unacceptable support from any company.

    I ordered a laptop from Dell and paid for FedEx 2Day delivery. Dell shipped the item on 31 Jan to Indianapolis. and the package was due to arrive on 3 Feb in Colorado Springs, but did it not arrive. I figured an extra day was okay due to the weather. I called FedEx today and discovered my item was sitting in a container on the ramp at Denver International Airport at 3:30pm, 4 Feb. I informed the operator that I was deploying to Iraq on 6 Feb and needed the laptop. She placed an urgent flag on it but I doubt it will arrive until next week after I deploy. It appears the 2Day Express was bumped so they could expedite the overnight items. I have lost complete faith in FedEx and will be taking my business to UPS.

    My daughter sought to save money by ordering a textbook online, then having it shipped to our home by FedEx. But FedEx never delivered. After one week, we received a post card in the mail saying that because of snow, they could not come to the house. We called the number on the postcard. Our inquiry went to voice mail. We called other numbers, trying to get a person with whom we could speak to make arrangements for an alternate delivery. Four days later, we still have been unable to make contact with a live human being, other than the switchboard which passes whispers down the lane messages to the people we must speak with.

    Ironically, at the mall yesterday, I stopped a FedEx driver. Though we had been told FedEx drivers are not accessible by phone, he was able to make contact with the driver for our route. The driver did not have the package on the truck again! As the depot which is keeping the package is located in another state, we are giving up on trying to get our package and are forced to cancel the order. I cannot believe that a company such as FedEx does not have phone contact during business hours. UPS (United Parcel Service) is light years ahead and will be the delivery service we use from now on.

    The package was sent on January 18 and it was scheduled to arrive on January 21 from DC to NY for a cost of $20.00. However, on January 21, they advised on their tracking webpage that attempted delivery cannot be performed due to weather. The area was not impassable; it was a mild snow system that had passed and was over in early morning hours. Nevertheless, several calls were made to FedEx operators to assist in procuring the package. The only advice option per FedEx is to physically pick the package up from the FedEx facility, provided that the I.D. address is identical to the physical address, according to FedEx.

    We do not receive mails from where we live. We receive them at our town's post office box. According to FedEx, they will not release, even to the actual recipient, if the address on the package is not the same as the physical address--even with a picture. They advise that I must bring the deed to my home which has the actual physical address. The deed is in a safety deposit box and inaccessible. So now, I will have to wait until Monday, January 24, to receive the long-awaited package.

    Today is Monday and I still do not have the package. When I checked their website, I found out that they are holding it at the facility because they said that I would pick them up. Yes, I would have done so, but they told me that my I.D. was not acceptable. I called today to advise what transpired and FedEx customer service hung up on the call. I had to re-dial and speak to another customer service to ask them to deliver it tomorrow. This is a prime example of the level of service FedEx has. I will never use them again and I advise everyone to do the same.

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

    I have been using FedEx for all my business shipping for 15 years. I manufacture and ship high quality home audio speaker all over the country. Over the entire 15 years of using FedEx, every time they damage any of my products, they have consistently denied the claim and used the excuse that I packaged it wrong. Every speaker I ship is well packed in boxes with rubber foam caps and styrofoam panels surrounding the complete speaker. The cause of the damage is always related to either the delivery person or the hub terminal dropping the boxes from a critical height or having something dropped on them and smashing the box.

    Whatever the damage, it is always easy to determine that FedEx miss-handled the boxes and caused the obvious damage. I've written complaints over the Internet in the past and received hundreds of emails from customers all over the country who are experiencing the same problem of FedEx refusing to compensate for the damage they caused!

    The main problem is simple; the company that is shipping the packages is also the one charging for the supposed insurance (Declared Value) and also the one who decides whether to cover the claim or not - a clear conflict of interest. The fact is, they are not insuring the packages, thus, they call it "Declared Value". You declare the value of the merchandise and they decide whether they think it is worth it and if they should cover the claim. They know customers are helpless if their items are damaged and most can't afford to take them to court.

    Their Claims department is totally corrupt, and my conversations with them have proven it over and over. The last two speakers they damaged were clearly because of their fault and even the local ground manager tried to get them to compensate me but with no success. One of the speakers was indisputably damaged by them, but when it came to compensating me, they only sent $220 for a $1,600 loss. They used a technical excuse that I did not have a Declared Value on the shipping order. I did fill out a complete shipping order with a $1,600 declared value, but the local terminal manager made a mistake when the speaker mistakenly came back to my business rather than to the appointed customer, so he (the manager) instructed me (through the FedEx driver) to install a new tracking number on the box and assured me that I wouldn't be charged for redirecting the box with a new tracking number on it.

    Because of that new tracking number installed on the box without a new shipping order filled out, FedEx Claims department used the latter number and said that it didn't have a Declared Value assigned to it. When I explained to them that the local ground terminal manager had requested the new number be installed, they didn't care and were not going to cover the damage under any circumstances. The local manager also called and told them he was responsible for the mistake and wanted them (Claims) to bill the damage to his terminal, and they still would not compensate for the damage.

    This is the same kind of stories people from all over the country are complaining about. I estimate FedEx makes millions of extra dollars by charging customers for what they think is insurance, and they seldom compensate when the damage occurs. I'm sure they don't treat their big account customers this way, but the little guy doesn't have any recourse except to take them to court and most I have spoken with can't afford the time or money! I refused to use UPS at the beginning of my business because I heard they operate the same way and I had friends who advised me not to deal with them either.

    I have hoped and tried to find a large law firm that would represent the thousands of customers that have been taken by FedEx, but none seem to want to take on this corrupt giant.

    The new cell phone we ordered for my disabled sister should have arrived on 12/24/10. My husband's work closed early that day, so I get that. But then it should have been re-delivered on 12/27/10. It snowed, but only 7 inches on 12/25. Most folks were at work on 12/27/10 and the roads were safe after the sun came out and temps climbed.

    However, FedEx didn't even attempt to deliver any packages, but they also didn't contact folks to let them know to not expect a delivery. When the package still didn't arrive at my husband's work, he called and was told that their distribution center would be open until 8:00 PM. He drove in the dark of the evening, trying to avoid the black ice that wouldn't have been a problem earlier, and made it to their distribution center by 6:15 PM. He walked up to the door to see the 7 employees locking the doors, turning off the lights and leaving.

    He then had to make his way home. This added more than an hour to his evening commute at time when folks should not have been driving after the sunset (quite different from driving during the day). Now, my disabled sister is scheduled to return tomorrow and we don't have the new cell phone that she needs in order to improve her safety and communication. If we had been contacted by FedEx earlier in the day, I could have drive to the FedEx distribution center and picked up the package. Of course, then shouldn't I get paid for the delivery fee?

    FedEx said, they attempted to deliver my package. I have been waiting here all day on 12/27. There was absolutely no attempt made, as the whole family was home, waiting for this belated Christmas present to arrive. When I called, they said I would have to wait until the following day, until 7PM to attempt again. I asked to speak to a supervisor, and was given a person who was not a supervisor. When I finally reached a supervisor (Mike), he said there was nothing they could do. Although tomorrow, they could deliver until 7PM, they were not willing to come back at 5PM and deliver to me today, and his reason was because the driver was already back.

    This is the second issue I have had with FedEx. The last issue, I had to call because the driver actually did not knock on my door to deliver a package, but walked in. When I called that time, and explained how horrible it was to have a man just walk in my house, and nothing was done but an insincere apology. It seems there are no repercussions for poor inappropriate services.

    The consequences are frustration, and the fact that my husband now has to drive 13.4 miles at $3.50 a gallon, to pick up the package, as we cannot lose pay, just by sitting at home, waiting for them to make another fake delivery tomorrow. The cost of the delivery was included in the delivery, and we are out that as well, since we have to pick it up ourselves.

At 05:49 PM, Sharon called me back to let me know Robert would be calling me within the next 15 minutes to update me and if he did not call me back to call back and ask for her specifically (which I did later, but her office was closed), Oh, and Robert never called!

    No one ever called! And now it gets even better! When I called Sharon back to let her know after 2 hours I had not heard from Robert or anyone else, I was transferred to yet another CAT representative from some other state, I don't recall her name. After being on the phone with her for quite some time, she informed me my package had been retrieved and was now in the Irving Distribution facility. Are we getting somewhere now? I asked if I could pick it up Saturday morning, she put me on hold to check. The CAT representative came back on the line and connected me with the Branch Manager of the Irving location, I don't remember his name either as I was getting very fed up with FedEx!

    Anyway, the Irving Branch manager told me he had just gotten off the phone with the delivery driver, who made the mistake in the first place, and the driver did not know anything about a package being delivered to the wrong address! This was the first the Branch Manager had heard of this also. How is this possible? So the Branch Manager assured me the driver was going to pick the package up first thing Saturday morning and he would try to get the package delivered to me on Saturday, but could not promise, but I would get a phone call once the package had been retrieved.

    Saturday evening, 12/04 05:24 PM, once again, no contact from anyone at FedEx! So I called yet again. Maria, the representative was pretty much useless. I filed a complaint with Maria, complaint no. **. The package has still not been retrieved! My question is I want to hear the so-called recorded conversations FedEx claims to keep. There are too many Customer Service Representatives, CAT representatives, Branch Managers that do not know what is going on and/or just flat out do not care! I can understand one, maybe two representatives not following through, but for as many FedEx representatives at so many different levels to all be so uncaring is unacceptable.

    I paid $26 to have a document envelope overnight delivered from Charleston SC on the 23rd of November at 12:00 noon to Asheville, NC to arrive before noon on the 24th. This was time-sensitive material that required further processing before the close of work on the 24th. The document was not delivered until 3:15 on the 24th. I requested a refund and was told that because of severe weather, they would not honor their so-called “money-back-if-not-delivered” policy. The severe weather was to have happened in Memphis, TN on the 23rd. Checking weather for Memphis on that day showed rain but no severe weather report.

    As their own tracking showed that the envelope arrived in Asheville at 9:45 that morning, so there was still more than 2 hours to deliver the envelope on time.

    I was told by the local agent the delay was due to heavy overload of holiday shipping. Is that considered an "act of God"? Their claim of insured delivery or refund is simply fraud as they just say something beyond their control happen and so they are not responsible. How many other people have been taken by this scam and false advertising? They still refuse to issue any refund for shipping cost. The full extent of damage is not yet known.

    There is a FedEx truck that is frequently parked along our street just inside our entrance. I have twice witnessed cars narrowly avoiding accidents as they moved to the middle of the road to go around the truck and forced on-coming cars into the opposite shoulder of the road. The truck parks there from early afternoon to early evening several days a week for the past 2-3 months. A while back I called FedEx to request that they not park there and they said that they had no record of the truck when I provided the license plate number.

    Last month, after witnessing the 2nd of the near misses and generally becoming concerned about the proximity of the truck to the school and the fact that the truck usually appeared vacant, I called the Loudoun County Sheriffs dept and they sent a deputy out to talk to the driver and ask him not to park for long periods of time in our neighborhood. That didn't stop the driver from parking there however and when he was there for the better part of the afternoon today I called the Loudoun Cty Sheriff's office again. They asked me to get the license plate number and said they would send another deputy out.

    On my way back from getting the license plate number, I pulled over on the side of the road in front of my house to talk to a neighbor. The driver, apparently annoyed that we had written down his number, started the truck and swung it around and accelerated very fast down Crimson our street. He came intentionally very close to where I was stopped in the and my neighbor was standing and, when he got past us, slammed on his brakes, almost causing a car that was driving behind him to rear-end him.

    The driver then threw the truck into reverse and backed into our driveway and sped back up the street toward us. As he passed, we motioned to him to slow down and watch for my neighbor's children who were on their bicycles (there were other children were playing in driveways as well) and he leaned from the truck and made a rude gesture toward us. I found the driver's behavior very disturbing if not frightening and made yet another call to the Sheriff's department.

    The Sheriff's dept has been very helpful but said that since there are not any "no parking" signs along that part of the street that they can't issue a parking citation, but said they will continue to send a deputy out to talk to him anytime they get a call from us. They are also uneasy about the strange behavior and the proximity to the school across the road, not to mention the erratic behavior in our neighborhood today. They suggested that we also continue to report the driver to FedEx, and you can do that by calling 1-800-Go-Fedex and asking to speak to a customer service agent. The license plate for the truck is HA xx-xxx. Just wanted to alert people to this incident. Up until today, I was really just annoyed that there seems to always be a FedEx truck parked at our entrance and I was a bit concerned that he was going to cause an accident. After his behavior today, I think this person needs to stay out of our neighborhood.

    My medications are sent via FedEx Express. On the day I was waiting for them, they did not arrive. At 6:00 pm, I received a call telling me the driver took the package back to the station because he thought my address did not exist. In order to get my medications, I had to have a family member drive me from my home in Mexico, MO to the station in Columbia, MO (approx. 60 min. while in pain). Lisa, the FedEx rep, who initially called me and the same one who met with me at the station in Columbia, had me follow her into an office at the station to sign for the delivery. When asked why the driver didn't call the number on the address label to get directions, she replied that it was "a new driver".

    When I contacted FedEx with my complaint I received the following: "Thank you for contacting FedEx. We apologize for the problems you experienced with your shipment. Our primary goal is to handle each package in a professional and business-like manner. We assure you that your experience with this shipment was not typical, nor does it reflect the high standard of service we want to provide. However, according to our service guide, if a recipient's address on an airbill or a shipping label is found to be incomplete or incorrect, we may attempt to find the correct address and try to complete the delivery. But we assume no responsibility for our inability to complete delivery under such circumstances. Use of P.O. box numbers, P.O. box ZIP codes or incorrect ZIP codes, omission of suite numbers, apartment numbers, or the use of old street addresses for recipients who have relocated are examples of addresses requiring corrections.”

    “If the correct address cannot be determined and the recipient cannot be reached, we may attempt to contact the shipper for instructions on further handling, or to arrange the return of the shipment. We will not be liable for failing to meet our delivery commitment for any shipment with an incomplete or incorrect address. Our records also indicate that this shipment was delivered on August 10, at 7:12 pm and was signed for by D. ** at **. In the future, you can save time by accessing proof of delivery information via our online tracking page to request proof of delivery that includes a picture of the recipient's signature. Please use our online Request Signature Proof of Delivery Page. Again, please accept our apology. We appreciate your notifying us of this problem and will do our best to make sure your next encounter with FedEx is more satisfactory."

    The first problem is that there was no error in the address. It was complete and is identical to the one on the package from the previous month. I have these in my possession. The second problem is the statement that shows the package was then delivered to that same address at the very same time that I was picking it up at the station, approximately 50 miles away. There were three different calls to FedEx placed from the time I was notified of the failure to deliver my medications, to the time of delivery at the station. The last call informed me that they were calling the station to have them meet me outside (they closed to the public at 6:45). If their records show that the package was delivered to my door, then those records are falsified, and they will not be able to place a driver in my hometown at that time of day.

Not happy, but otherwise glad it was on it's way, I expected to receive the package in a further 2 days.

I'm disgusted with FedEx, as this has been my second bad experience (both similar), and I don't expect to pay good money to have a company decide 'when' to post my goods, and 'where' to send them.

    You can always tell the quality of service you receive from a business by the effort of their lowest paid employee. In this case, maybe not the lowest but the average paid delivery driver. These are the people that have been given the task of finding & delivering customer goods; like any job it has it's good and bad days. However, they are the only employee that gets to see the customers' reaction when they deliver what seems like a gift one might receive on a holiday or birthday. Normally it's a reaction filled with joy & happiness, that a complete stranger shows up to give you something you've been waiting for, like a kid that can't sleep the night before Christmas Morning.

    Let's focus on the importance of the basics for a second, like knocking on the door. It would seem that something so simple would be included in the remarkable effort made by so many to transport packages from the millions of shops & stores around the world to the people who ordered them in a timely manner. Now knocking on the door or ringing a door bell might seem pointless if it seems no one is home to accept the package. However, in this case not only was there someone home, they were in clear view of the door that the driver left the "Sorry We Missed you" tag.

    Let's assume the driver tried ringing a doorbell that didn't work and maybe even tried a short knock that went unheard. Does the driver's delivery responsibility end there? It was very clear that people were home and active (vs. asleep) and the package could be delivered. No, not in this case, It seemed to be a lot easier for the driver to leave a door tag and go on his merry way.

    People who don't care about what they do show others they don't care thru their actions. This is a point in fact by the lack of effort by the driver to gain attention of a member of the household.. (UPS must train their delivery drivers better, because they show more effort.)

    The door tag said "Sorry We Missed You", Fedex didn't miss me. I was there. In fact, I took a personal day from work to make sure I was there. The guy completely ignored the fact that I was home and decided I could wait on him again!

    Fedex works for the people that choose their services, so as a employer of Fedex, I've decided to change to someone who takes more pride in the service. My area has had nothing good to say about Fedex due to the door tag issues and how their agents fail horribly at delivering packages as good as 3rd rate choices like USPS. This is mainly because I can drive to the local Post Office and pick it up myself. Hunker, Pa isn't even close to local (Like why bother delivering to an area if you don't have the infrastructure to support the customer's needs?).

    It must be greed, biting off more work than you can handle in a timely & professional manner. It's really easy fix to such a no brainer. Train Fedex delivery drivers to treat these rural home deliveries with the importance of a Federal Agent. Train them to use their eyes, ears, and every ability they have to safely and legally deliver their packages and not to just leave a door tag unless it is absolutely the last option left. If this is how Fedex is already training their drivers, then they employ at least one that doesn't take his or her position seriously enough to represent their service's commitment to Fedex customers.

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

    My daughter sent me a package, Priority Overnight, tracking # **, from Charleston S.C. on Friday July 30,2010 to be delivered Monday, August 02, 2010. When she called me to see if I had received the package Monday night, I had not! It was very important that I receive it. It contained my key with the electronic door opener for my vehicle, the only set I have. She called FedEx and was told that they delivered the package at 9:30 A.M. Monday morning and it was received by the recipient. That was not true! I had waited all day for the package, did not even vacuum for fear I would not hear them. My daughter continued to call to try and locate the package and then was told it was left by the mailbox, which is a half mile to a mile away! Left on a street well traveled at a group of about 6 (six) mailboxes at the end of my driveway. My driveway is a dirt road that the driver didn't want to drive on. We drive in and out of it each day.

    The next day I walked to where the driver said he left the package. It was cloudy and raining and I slipped and fell and was not able to get up for a while. My driveway is a private drive with no other houses on it. I am 66 (sixty six) years old and a portion of my heart enlarged, also with other health problems. Not able to go that distance to get a package FedEx so carelessly left unattended. I will never use FedEx! It is not a company you can count on or trust to do the job they get paid to do. I was without keys to the only vehicle I had at my residence. I was stranded! Also walking the half mile - one mile to get the package I fell and had to lay in the dirt and rain until I could get back on my feet to make my way back to my house. It is uncomfortable to move.

    While traveling southbound on Illinois Tollway 294 (9:00 pm, 7/30/10), a FedEx ground truck tried to run me off the road. The truck was following me so closely that I could not see the front grill of the truck or the headlights. I tried to speed up to get away from him, but even at 70 mph, he stayed so close on my tail that I was sure he was touching my bumper! The lanes on either side of me were wide open, but he refused to go around me. As soon as I was able to speed up enough to get away from him and change lanes, he pulled up next to me swerving in and out of my lane and then flipped me off and was apparently yelling at me inside his truck. He then proceeded to do the same thing to several other drivers.

    His license plate no was (IN) **, truck no. **, cab no. **. I called the police but never saw anyone stop him. I called FedEx and reported him and the operator told me that they don't take complaints about drivers. I went to their website and they don't take complaints either! Although we escaped injury we came very close to a very serious accident. The driver was obviously impaired and had no regard for the safety of those around him.

Since they could not guaranty me the exact time, they said they would call the driver and took my phone number so they could call me. Then, I would have a window of approximate time for delivery so I could be sure to be home.

    I went to the post office at 11:00AM and when I returned, there was another notice of attempted delivery at 11:52AM. I missed the delivery person because they did not do what they told me they would do. Now they are offering to deliver at 3pm and I have wasted my whole day for a delivery. This is not unacceptable.

    My wife brought an accordion and went to Fed EX for packaging the day before to get an estimate for the price based on weight and approximate sans box size. It was about $30. When My wife brought the accordion in for packaging, they put it in the bottom of the largest box they had then filled it with paper for a total cost of $90 and change! What they did was to inflate the cost by irresponsibly packaging into a container that would cost more money based on size. The issue I have with this is that their website specifically states that they would customize their packaging for odd shaped packages. It is Fed Ex package ****.

    I called the main office to complain, they sent me directly to the store. I contacted them by phone and followed up with a 9 page document fully explaining the issue and photos of their packaging. Chandra said they would respond immediately. I followed up by email several times over the next three weeks but they never responded. So, I'm going to complain about their packaging business model online as well as their lack of customer response. If anyone is interested in seeing the full 9 pages outlining my complaint, email me. They overcharged me by about $50 and apparently they don’t care enough about customer service to even respond to complaints in writing or over the phone.

My cell number was available and no one called me, apparently their tracing department is unable to have the driver come by my address and show me who the person is who signed for the package. There was no urgency to deal with my problem and the attitude was, "Well, the driver said he delivered it to the correct address".

My son had sent it when he worked in the flooding in Fargo, ND. The driver became frustrated because he wanted to squeeze his truck through our double gate. He stepped out and shoved a gate back with such force that it bent the hinges. I witnessed this. He still had to walk up the driveway. He left the package without waiting for the required signature and noted that the release was authorized. The agent in Atlanta customer service refused to do anything. They did give me the name of the driver and I found him to live close by.

    This is a company that has drivers subcontracted so they can escape any liability and they have collusion within their ranks protecting their criminal employees. You cannot even find an address of anyone higher than their inept employees to complain to. Someone called me a few days after my complaint and asked if my account was personal or business.

The box was also in shambles. The box was clearly marked "Fragile" and "Do Not Bend" which was obviously ignored. My customer called his local FedEx who arranged for pickup and inspection of the package about 6-8-2010.

I called the number and the lady emailed me my claim form which had the wrong declared value listed--$1.62! Infuriated, I called the number back and spoke to Joseph who said it was a typo and that he could clearly see that the declared value was $162.00. I was told to just scratch it out and put the correct amount above it. I did so and mailed the claim form with a copy of my customer's receipt to Pittsburgh about 6-16-2010.

I called to explain that we work until 5 pm. The rep said that since it was FedEx Ground, we couldn't schedule a delivery time but we could have the package re-routed. I agreed and gave them my work address. After typing all of that into the ticket, the rep paused and then simply said that my address wouldn't work since my name wasn't the one on the package. My husband was the listed recipient. I asked if I could provide my driver's license to verify the same address but she said no. I had to call back with my husband's work address.

    The next day, April 21, we had another door tag on our house. I called and asked why the package wasn't re-routed to my husband and they said that a signature-required package couldn't be re-routed at all. I asked why I had spent 45 minutes on the phone the day before if it wasn't possible. I was then placed on hold. When the guy finally came back, he apologized that I was misinformed and said they'd stick to their word and re-route the package to my husband. My husband received the statue the next day, April 22, and dropped it off at his parent's house on his way home. When his parents opened it, the statue was missing part of its head and hand. They were shattered. I emailed the eBay seller and received the FedEx claim #852410010059410 and was told to call to schedule pickup.

    I called FedEx on April 26 to have the package picked up. The guy on the other end of the phone walked me through all the info they needed including my in-law's address and then asked me how we were going to pay for the pickup! I asked why we'd need to pay since the package was insured and they told the seller that they'd pick it up. He responded that all pickups required payment. I asked what our free option would be and he gave me an address close to my in-law's home.

    On April 27, my in-laws took the package to the address we were given and were told that the FedEx office could not take a FedEx Ground package. My mother in-law asked why the rep gave us this address and she responded that she didn't know. She then pointed to a phone on the wall and told my MIL to call and ask. After talking to another guy, my MIL was told that the package would have been picked up for free and asked why we didn't do that. She told them what I was told and they apologized and arranged a pick up time. The package was finally picked up on April 28. eBay refunded my $848.40 on May 18 after the seller refused for several weeks. He wanted to wait for his FedEx reimbursement.

FedEx reps "misinformed" me about package re-routing policy, the package pickup policy and even the address for the location they wanted us to go to instead.

A package was reported to have been delivered, but it was not. As luck would have it, at the time of the alleged delivery, I was at home. I tracked the package later that day, wondering it's status. At that time, I realized it had been claimed to be delivered. I immediately reported that it was not to FedEx. I received a call the next day, asking if I found the package, and then heard nothing further. The next week, I called FedEx and was told the driver said it was delivered: Case Closed. Details of the alleged delivery changed. The local supervisor determined I was lying. Unfortunately, I could not stop orders made also to be delivered FedEx after the fact. As a result, I had to stay home from work to constantly track and wait. I am supposed to trust that the driver, who did not leave a package, and who subsequently changed the delivery story, will in fact leave a package while at the same time, FedEx says that it can not trust that without a signature, on packages that don't require a signature, that I will acknowledge receipt. Golly, if they didn't have a problem not delivering when I was here, I don't see the problem in actually delivering when I am not here! They did it for years!

    There is apparently a single driver in my area. And she is not pleased: Last Friday, there was a delivery. The truck was seen in the immediate vicinity (we are rural, there is only 1 truck out here) early in the day. If she had delivered then, I could have gone back to work. Instead, she left, then came back late in the day for the delivery. Maybe hoping I would leave? The vendor whose package was lost was supposed to re-ship using USPS. Instead they shipped FedEx again. FedEx was apparently here today, but would not leave the package.

    We have received countless FedEx in the past and have never had a problem. When a problem did occur, rather than solve it, FedEx instead is going out of its way to make sure I understand that to report a problem is unacceptable. This is the short version here.

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

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

    I still have no package, still have no phone call from the Oahu facility manager. I am upset. This happens all the time in Hawaii. The service is terrible. The customer service is terrible.

    Don't use FedEx--very poor service. If you are out when FedEx try to deliver a parcel, don't feel confident that you will know about it. I live in a block of flats with a security exterior door - very common for central London. If the delivery person cannot get to your postbox, they will try two very unreliable methods to leave you the card:

    a) Push it under the outside door and hope that you will find it before someone moves it,

    b) Push it under the number plate of your flat, outside the building at the mercy of anyone walking past the flat, or the wind (!).

    You parcel will then be returned to the sender as you don't know it has arrived. Oh, they'll also crush items and damage them. Rubbish service. I am really angry. Crushed Nespresso capsules that won't fit into the machine!

    In February, I purchased a Ramsa mixer off eBay. It was shipped in a heavy duty case with foam packaging on all sides, and marked topside and fragile. Pictures were taken prior to handing it over to FedEx showing now damage. When it arrived, two corners were shattered and the steel arm rest bent. It had obviously been dropped on edge from many feet in the air.

    It took FedEx a month to get an inspector to look at it. They denied the claim. I appealed and it was sent "upstairs". Only after I contacted the BBB did I find out from the BBB that "upstairs" had again denied the claim. FedEx will not release the damage report and will not give any information out on who has denied the claim. Lesson learned. Don't use FedEx.

    I called FedEx after missing their second attempted delivery to schedule a pick up time last Friday. Knowing that now they would deliver on Saturday, I changed my mind quickly and the customer representative felt annoyed yet lied to me that she cancelled the pick up and would get the last attempt of delivery the day after. Alright, the package did not deliver on Saturday and I thought they did not really make any delivery on Saturday so I waited over the weekend patiently. Not until the coming Monday (today), I tracked my package online and the package is on hold at a local office! How dishonest of their customer representative.

    I had to call once again and another representative said that I had called to cancel the last delivery service and would pick up by myself. I asked her to check the complete record then. Though she found out it was their mistake, she kind of said that I had cancelled the order at first so what has happened is I deserved. I was so disappointed at how they bent the truth.

    From my past experiences, if I ever decided to pick up the package by yourself, I got to leave a phone number for them to call back regarding the available pick up time. Now, the package has been scheduled for pick-up with me not knowing about anything it. I remembered that last Friday I asked the customer representative five times to make sure that she put back my package to a normal scheduled delivery status and she guaranteed that it was back to normal.

    FedEx is an epic fail. This package is sent via ground service and had taken over six days to make the first attempt of delivery. UPS would have made the first one on the third if not the fourth day. If I got to choose, I will not send anything via FedEx; I will simply go to UPS because of their credibility and reputation that FedEx does not have. I am hoping that I won't have to call FedEx tomorrow.

Plus, that package didn't require signature at all!

    I called FedEx right away and when I finally spoke to a real person, I was told that the station was closed and they couldn't do anything and had no explanation. They could only try to get it re-delivered on Tuesday, 4/6/2010, which is three days later and they still cannot guarantee the delivery. Didn't we pay to get the package delivered?

The next day I started to track online and noticed no movement of the package.

    FedEx driver of Mass. registration H63-522 raced through my neighborhood at approximately 11:20AM this morning.

Vision was poor and the weather was nasty. Your driver said he didn't see the stop sign so I wonder why he didn't slow down. By the way, just past my house the speed limit slows to twenty mph in a school zone and he must have known he was entering a school. I have an 8-year old boy who doesn't pay attention to vehicles.

    I called customer service concerned that this may have been the driver with my package. The agent said not to worry, it should arrive shortly. I checked the tracking online multiple times and ended up seeing the driver said I was not home. So I called back. The customer service agent was polite and did everything she could. She ended up transferring me to the local office where I spoke with another woman who said she knows the driver and he is not that kind of a person. So I guess that makes me a liar. Apparently, the driver called in saying that he stopped and has a door tag number and cannot come back. A door tag number says nothing about the driver's activity, only that he scanned a piece of paper. So, basically, I paid FedEx to deliver a package to me, I lost an entire day's pay, approximately $150, (and wasted hours watching for him) and ended up just being frustrated and upset.

He also added that if I had not heard from FedEx in 5 days, I should file a claim!

    My conclusion on this situation is that the package was delivered to the wrong address. I checked the order confirmation I received from Amazon.com and the address is correct. The driver and FedEx are unwilling to take responsibility for an error on their part and are definitely stalling for time and dragging this out as long as they possibly can to avoid any financial outlay on their part. I have paid for a dresser, plus FedEx Express shipping charges for merchandise that was never delivered. In the meantime, I have paid for a dresser plus FedEx Express shipping charges for merchandise that was never delivered.

    I clicked the tracking link in my e-mail and it said that my package was delivered at 1:35 pm and was left at the front door. I was home all day and I would have heard the delivery truck in my yard and my dog would have barked. I filed a claim and supposedly the driver is going to call me about it. It is going on three days now and every time I call FedEx I am told that they are working on it.

    Obviously, the driver left the package at the wrong house. This goes to show you how *** and *** these drivers are. My address is clearly shown on my mailbox. I have a sign in the front yard with my address on it and I also left a note stating to deliver the package to the trailer in the back of the property. I'm sorry, but you do not deliver a package to a house if you aren't 100% sure it is the correct address. These drivers need to read more carefully (or read, period). Obviously, the house you left my package at was not a trailer! FedEx employees are so *** and very unreliable.

    On November 4, 2009, I sent photos/negatives of photos to my sister in the US. I sent it through FedEx. I received an Airway bill, and kept tracking the same online. On November 6, 2009, the package reached Alaska, and was held there. My sister inquired what happened to the package, and she was given a reason that the commercial invoice was unreadable, and cannot be released. We inquired on how the package will be released and FedEx Alaska required me certain forms. I have not filled out, nor signed here. These forms were supposedly supplied to me by the FedEx Tagaytay, when I made a contract with them to ship my goods. However, the same was not provided, nor was I informed the need to fill out the same.

    So, FedEx Alaska asked me to write them a request to release the package, and send it back to the Philippines. I did not. This letter will imply that I have waived whatever liability FedEx has. I contacted the call center of FedEx, and called them everyday, sometimes more than once a day. I incurred telephone expenses, and have not focused on my work. All they can offer is "sorry for the inconvenience" excuse. By the last week of December, I was extremely worried that my package has not yet returned to me. I kept calling the call center. They informed me that the package was already returned to FedEx Tagaytay, and at the disposal of one Solano. I inquired about it, but I was unsuccessful, and still they have not returned the package to me. I even sent messages to one Solano, who is manning the FedEx Tagaytay branch, but to no avail.

    It was December 30, 2009, when an officer of the "barangay" went to our house, with the mother of one Solano, bringing the package to my house. To my horror, it was the first time I faced with authorities. Why did it have to happen? Am I a criminal, and this mother of Solano needed escort from this official? Was this to scare me? I did not sign any receipt, because to me, FedEx did not only made a breach of contract, but rather committed a crime of negligence, and in our law, swindling is punishable. FedEx cannot explain to me what and why this happened. I have consulted and hired the services of lawyer to protect my rights. I feel violated, not only my property, but as a person. I deserve more than an explanation. FedEx has to pay for this. The photos and negatives have sentimental value to me and my sister. They made a breach of contract, and cause great irreparable damage to us.

    The consequences include the photos/ negatives, which were supposed to be used in a presentation for November 10 (in a birthday party) that were not delivered, also, the cost of shipment, long distance and mobile calls to the call center of FedEx. Not to mention the time I spent for updating and following up, my blood pressure and stress level went up, and almost had a seizure from my epilepsy, and the cost of lawyer's fees.,

    I sent my computer to a friend to do some repairs and we used FedEx ground. The trip there was uneventful. The return trip however has been ridiculous. It shipped early Monday, Jan. 11th and was to arrive Tuesday, Jan. 12th. According to the FedEx tracker, it arrived in the Burlington, WA hub (which is 1/2 hour away from where I live) at 6:39AM and supposedly went out for delivery at 9:25 on Tuesday Jan. 12th. It never arrived and I continually checked the tracker until about 11:30PM to see if there was any info, but found none. The next morning when I checked, somebody had made a note that at 8:27AM on Monday the 12th, "Customer not available or Business Closed" delivery exception. Three things wrong with that: I was home all day, the time noted was almost an hour before the package was put on the delivery truck and the package did not require a signature to be delivered.

    I called 1-800 GO FED EX three times over the course of the day. The first two times, they assured me it would arrive today (now Wed Jan. 13th). Well, 7:30PM rolled around and still, no computer. So when I called the third time, the person told me we need to do a trace on it because there were no notes made for that day that it was on the truck and so it may be lost. He also told me that when notes are posted, sometimes it may take 11 hours for them to update and show on the tracker. Now, it's after midnight. It's Jan. 14th and I checked the tracker once again. There is a note posted as Jan. 13th, 9:40PM for delivery exception saying "Unable to locate address-street number". What a joke. I live on a dead end street that has a whopping total of 5 houses. My house sits close to the street, I have numbers on my house and numbers on my mailbox which is right in front of the house.

    On the same day, this delivery was due to arrive (Jan. 12th) we received a package from UPS without incident. Over the Christmas holidays, we received numerous packages without incidence from UPS and USPS. Over the past couple years, I've received many, many packages without incidence. I even had a note on my front door all day today telling the driver I was here and where to leave the package. It's all very fishy and doesn't add up, I don't know what's going on but none of the tracker info is truthful. The notes they're making are completely bogus and this is the last time I will ever use FedEx. My fears revolve around what kind of condition my computer will arrive in.

    On Jan. 11, 2010, I shipped a package priority overnight from Spokane, WA to Carson City, NV and advised the receiver of the shipment. At 15:30 on the 12th of January, I was contacted by the receiver that the package had not yet been received. Tracking the package, I found that the package had been sent to the hub in Memphis, TN. I see no way that the package would ever arrive the next day due to circuitous route FedEx chose to send my package. It was a time-sensitive package which contained important documents which still at this time have not reached their destination. All this and a hefty rate to achieve a delivery time comparable to a USPS delivery. Time will tell if their claims office lives up to their promise to pledge of making restitution for not honoring their delivery promises.

    I was expecting a package delivery by FedEx that never made it to my home. I received only one final door tag notifying me that the delivery guy came and didn't find me. I am pretty sure that the delivery guy never came for the two past delivery attempts. I never found those door tags. More frustrating is when I checked online that FedEx will attempt that final delivery. I left my work early to make sure I get the package. I was at home between 3:30 pm and 7 pm and never heard any door bell ringing at any moment. Not even a knock on the door. When I left home in the evening I found the famous door tag stating that they came at 3:48pm. I was at home waiting for it at that time.

    Finally, I had to drive 25 miles to pick up the package myself. I did that on my personal time, loosing 1 hour and 30 minutes of my week-end driving instead of enjoying the company of my family. How on earth FedEx ground come to Boston (where I live), don't deliver the package (for some reason), and still end-up storing it 25 miles away from my residence? I am sure it makes some great economical sense for FedEx to do that, but this is absolutely ridiculous from a customer point of view. They own hundreds of FedEx centers closer to my home but they still make me drive 50 mile on a week end. I lost time that I could have spent with my family on a week end. Driving for 1 hour and 30 minutes in a snowy weather is never a pleasant moment.

    I paid extra for 3-day delivery. First day, door hanger left. I called and requested a late delivery (after 4) next day. I was told that was not a problem. The next day, attempted to deliver at 11AM. Another call requested a new location to apartment complex office. The office staff told me there were no attempts to deliver from FedEx all day. I called and I was told there were going to be no more attempts. I cannot justify paying a cab $40.00 to pickup a package that I have already paid $47.00 for expedited delivery for. FedEx was extremely rude and told me I could file a claim for the package.

    I ordered a package and it was to take 7 to 10 business days and this was in December. After 10 days, I haven't received it so I called the FedEx number and spoke to someone. I was told this package was sent to the wrong location and was to be back in my area a few days after that. I still as of Jan. 7, 2010 haven't received it yet. A complaint was filed and still nothing has been done. I recently checked the tracking on this package and it still shows my package is sitting in Indianapolis, IN. That date shows Dec. 13. Now, I just got off the phone with FedEx again and they told me that they will file another claim. I was also asked has anyone contacted me. I said no because they haven't. This is a nightmare and has caused a lot of problems for me. This is a Christmas gift and I haven't seen it nor has anyone tried to rectify the situation. I would appreciate if someone could call me and let me know what it is that I can do because I just can't see how this package has been missing. This was ordered the beginning of December and I haven't seen it yet.

    I ordered some clothing as gifts for friends. I was waiting at home on the estimated delivery date. The driver never showed up. I called customer service, and I was told they were going to redeliver the next day. And I am waiting whole day today. It's 7:40pm now. The driver still didn't show up.

    I called the customer service, and I asked to speak to the supervisor, because I know they will tell me same thing they told me yesterday. After about 30 minutes of waiting, they hung up on me. Don't use FedEx. They are very irresponsible!
