      Package was delivered to my son's apartment complex, but per the picture taken by the FedEx delivery driver at time of delivery, the package was NOT PLACED in the locked, secure mailroom. It was left in an unsecure, public area and it was stolen. The package contained over $300 worth of Christmas gifts and clothing, and it cost almost $30 to ship it. Two FedEx employees told me this is a problem that needs to be addressed and I was directed to file a lost package claim, however, the claim was denied. The box should have been left in the locked, secure mailroom. I was told by a FedEx employee that delivery drivers have keys to the locked mailrooms on their regular routes.FedEx needs to make this right and refund the amount of the items in the box as well as shipping costs. The FedEx tracking number is ************.

      I ordered an item from ******** Unfortunately, they used FedEx as the carrier. I left delivery instructions AND called multiple times that the item is to be delivered DIRECTLYto the unit, and NOT left at the front desk. Not only did the delivery boy choose to ignore the instructions, I was informed by the front desk that he argued and refused to take the package to the ELEVATOR and upstairs. He said that he doesn't move more than 70 lbs...But then why are you doing this job? Also, why bring the 79 lbs package part way only to not complete the delivery? I called FedEx to report the incident and they said they would get back to me in 48 hours or so...It doesn't take that long to tell that guy to come back and finish the job. The packageis STILL downstairs OUTSIDE of the front desk, exposed for anyone to steal.The tracking is:621809756896 Fire that lazy boy and send someone to complete the job.

      Tracking showed that my package was on the truck for delivery this morning, January 17. At 12:30 I heard a vehicle pull into my driveway. I looked out the window and saw a large white van sitting in the driveway. I waited just inside the front door but no-one ever came up on the porch. Then I heard the vehicle drive away. I went out on the porch and walked out to the driveway to see if my package had been left, but found nothing. I went back inside and looked at tracking and saw there was a delivery exception. The alerts said the customer was not home and that delivery would be reattempted the next day. Am I supposed to go out to the driveway and meet the driver? This same thing happened the last time I had a package delivered by FEDEX. This is typical of the kind of service provided by the drivers at the *********, ** facility. I've had a package left out by the street, packages shown in tracking as being delivered that don't show up till two days later, packages that are on the truck for two or three days before they get delivered, and once I had a package delivered by a guy that lives about four miles from here who found my package in his driveway along with two other packages all with different addresses. The tracking id for this package is ************.

      On January 11,2023 I ordered an iPhone 14 plus and an apple watch 7 series. The items were shipped via FedEx 2day shipping. My item was last scanned on the 12th leaving ***********, ** at 2:42 am and has still not arrived anywhere or been scanned in anywhere! The 2 items combined have a total value of around $1,500. It is now almost a week past when they were suppose to be here and yet not a single person I've spoken with at FedEx can tell me why I have not received it or tell me when I will. This is completely unacceptable!!!

      Hello,FedEx negligently delivered a package and it was stolen. FedEx delivered a package to me on December 4 and within a short period of time before I could retrieve the package it was stolen and missing from my building. I had the building superintendent. Help me look around to find the package in the building and it was nowhere to be found. A FedEx left my package where it was visible from the street, and anyone from the general public had access to it. This is not the method in which I wanted my package delivered, I wanted it to be placed inside the condominium building however, it was placed beside the enter phone of my condominium building, and not physically inside the building in the mail room or left at my door or sent you a location for pick up.I took the following steps to try to get a refund for my package. I phoned and filed a case over the phone, I filed a complaint on their website, I emailed a customer service representative in charge of these types of complaints, and I made several more calls to the call center, FedEx said it was my responsibility to try to attain a refund from the shipper and they closed my case. They said it was my responsibility to attain a refund from the shipper, when it was their negligent delivery that caused my package to be stolen.I was not able to get a hold of the shipper as they were call centre was closed and I spent many days trying to resolve this issue. I am looking for a refund from FedEx.The following his information about my package;Tracking number: ************ Case number: c-******** FedEx states on their website that they deliver packages with reliability. I am very disappointed with the lack of support from FedEx for trying to help me resolve this matter they also close my case automatically even though I stated the matter was not resolved.Thank you very much for your support in this matter and helping me to attain a refund.

      Fed ex delivered my package to the wrong address. They admitted the driver delivered it to **********************. They said there was No delivery signature required. (Which was not a choice I could make because this was an order from AliExpress.) I paid over $350 for this order and Fedex told me the shipper told them the value of my package was no more than $100. I have the receipts of what I paid for the order. FedEx had no interest in verifying the information from me. So, they sent me a check for $100. I am still out of over $250. I have **** to managers and supervisors who do not care to correctly take care of this case. I do not believe this is fair.

      FedEx values your business.  Our records show that we received and processed your claim request for FedEx's maximum limit of liability. The claim was paid in accordance with our contract of carriage. Under our contact of carriage declared value represents FedEx's maximum liability in connection with this shipment. The shipper declared a value for customs and carriage in the amount of $100.00.  The claim was paid for that amount.  FedEx will not consider any additional compensation.  We must respectfully refer you to your shipper for additional information.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I spoke to the shipper BEFORE filing a complaint to FedEx. The shipper offered me a refund, and scammed me by requiring me to post a five star review, then sent me fake refund receipts to my email, which I never received. I reported this to my bank, who then redirected me to FedEx.

      I had multiple packages being delivered on 8/16/22. The driver delivered the packages and hit my car while turning out. I saw him, and heard the collision from the inside of my house. I ran out and he sped away. I reported it to FedEx and they told me that someone will be in contact. The delivery company acknowledged that they have damage on their car but its not at the same level as mine. I asked how would they know if nobody ever measured where my damage is. They told me the case was passed onto corporate. I have called corporate multiple times and nobody is able to help me and keep telling me to wait until someone reaches out to me. This happened in August.

      I had a package shipped via FedEx shipping company to my home in ******* ******* on January 6. I received updates that the package was in route to my home. However, the package never arrived and FedEx says they delivered it to the client that would be me. this is not true. I have a gate at my property. They cannot get past the gate without calling me to open the gate. I have my phone number in my name printed on the gate that says please call me on arrival, I will come open the gate and receive the package. I also have a security system that shows no alerts of any package arriving during the entire day for January 6. I contacted FedEx explain this to them at 3:30 on the day of the package was supposed to have arrived. They told me to file a claim and wait three days after waiting three days I filed another claim because nothing has been done by FedEx. They didnt even search for the package or contact anyone the invoice for the products that were shipped to me or $3301.00 the company that shipped me the products is asking for payment on a box I never received. This is grand larceny Fed Ex either lost the box or stole the box. Either way they did not deliver the box. I would like the original company that shipped me the products to be compensated for the box that Fed Ex lost or stole. I had filed a police report in ******* *******. I have contacted Fed Ex over a dozen times regarding this and nothing has been done. They sent me back a email that said the claim was denied. How can you cant deny a claim when you lost or stolen package this is criminal. Please help me resolve this with this company. I need to $3300 credit back to the company ***** for wellness that shipped me the products because federal express lost the box. Thanks very much

      We are distributor of ** manufactured product in *****. We have been waiting for our shipment ************ (picked up on Jan 5) There is no update of status for over 7 days now. Apparently, 2 out of 10 packages have are in ***** but the remaining 8 are last logged in *******. Both ** team and ***** teams have failed to commit to any delivery timelines. This hurts our business tremendously. FedEx should guarantee a timeline for delivery given they charge a premium fee. We want the material to be delivered ASAP. We also demand compensation for the loss this delay is causing to our business.Similar situation has happened with n the past as well. BBB should investigate the questionable operation of FedEx.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
