      I was sent a package from Express Scripts. The package was sent to FedEx for one-day delivery. I was told the package had been lost but later was told by a representative of FedEx they had the package but nothing was in it. The travel history which I have a copy of is misleading and I believe it to be a coverup to avoid liability by FedEx.

      On December 29, 2022, Fedex Express claimed they delivered my package to my house. They also obtained a signature for the package. The problem being, they did not deliver the package to my address and the signature obtained wasn't anyone I know.This package was worth approximately $800. I have called 1-800-GOFEDEX three times since December 29. Each time I have called, I have been lied to. Each time I am told someone from Fedex will call me. I have yet to receive a call from anyone at Fedex. It is *************************************************************************************** my money for the missing package. The last time I called, I was told the claim had been escalated to the trace department and that someone from Fedex would call me no later than today January 16) with a resolution. No one has called. I want the reimbursement for the package as these were *********** clothing for my business and I have no use for them now. Attached you will see some screenshots of conversations with the shipper stating Fedex admitted to losing my package as well as me reporting the package missing one hour after said delivery time. The package was signed for by ****************. I do not know anyone by this name. All I want is my money back.

      TRACKING # ************ CASE#C96005234 This package which is medication for an 8 yr old was shipped out FedEx standard overnight due to the fact that express scripts screwed up and didnt send the medicaiton on time. It was purposly sent to be recieved on Monday 1/16/23 since that was the last day we had medication for. Tracking said that the package which was a signature required was delivered and it was not. The carrier delivered it to the wrong house and gave me someone elses pacakge that wasnt even on my block. I callled Fed Ex numerous times and emphasized this was not merchandise it was medication needed for an 8 yr old. I was told they were going to retrieve the package and redeliver it today 1/16/23 After numerous calls because no one has the decency to call I was told that they in fact had my package and it would be delivered the next day in which I told them that would be too late and the fact that no one would be home to sign for it. No other help or concern was used even though it was a huge negligence on their part. Had to drive out all the way to ********* with 2 small children to retrieve a package in the middle of the night. I get there and no one as usual knows what they are doing had another argument because they were telling me that my package wasn't there. Close to an hour later the package was handed to me. TOTAL lack of respect to the fact it was medication for an 8 year old. On top of all this I had not only to keep calling for a status but had to go out and get it myself

      FedEx tracking # ************ I made an order through ******************* on 12/27/22. The order was shipped through FedEx on 1/2/23. On 1/4/23, the package made it's way to the FedEx facility in West Chesterfield, **. On each and every business day since January 4th, FedEx has marked my package "Out for Delivery" in the morning, only for it to magically reappear at their facility in the evening. No delivery was attempted. I have spent countless minutes on the phone with FedEx customer service, who only reassure me that the package will be delivered. On 1/11, the rep I spoke to told me they opened a claim for me. A woman from the claims department called me to tell me my package was out for delivery. It was not delivered. She never followed back up. No one sent me a case number for my "claim".I've attached screenshots of ****** Reviews about the West Chesterfield, ** FedEx facility. These are just some of countless one star reviews for lost and mishandled packages.

      Im writing because of an issue with FedEx not taking accountability for a package one of its drivers mishandled in December.On December 11, 2022, FedEx delivered a package that was marked Direct Signature Required (1) without even ringing my doorbell, (2) without obtaining my signature, and (3) by leaving it on the sidewalk (not behind my gate) on a very busy street in *************. Naturally, the package was stolen. I registered a complaint with FedEx and provided them with proof, via Ring video. They suggested I file a claim with the shipper, which I immediately did.Today, the shipper has informed me that FedEx is denying the claim. The shipper will now turn the matter over to insurance and I suppose I will get refunded for the value of the package, but I cannot believe that FedEx wont take responsibility for the error, which is documented!So I am writing to you in the hope that you bring the matter to light and, at least, get FedEx to take responsibility for the action of its driver.

      My bank account was charged $75.95 for a transaction regarding FEDEX ******* **. I did not authorize the charge, was not notified of any charges by FedEx and there were no invoices in my FedEx delivery manager. So, I contacted my bank and initiated a dispute. As a result, my bank card had to be closed and a new card issued. Now, today (several days later), I have a paid invoice in FedEx delivery manager. This has been a huge inconvenience to me because this bank card that was reissued was used for many recurring transactions that I've had to revise. Furthermore, FedEx provides no telephone or email support for this type of complaint. I was informed by their representative that my only option was to write a letter and mail it to *******. This is terrible customer service that should be corrected.

      Dear *****************************:

      This is in response to your inquiry addressed to the Better Business Bureau regarding tracking number 770957777639.

      Any shipment that crosses an international border is subject to the assessment of Duty and Taxes as imposed by the destination country.  In some instances, FedEx pays duties/taxes on international shipments on behalf of a customer to speed up the customs clearance process. The Duty/Tax invoice is usually a separate invoice sent to customers to recover any duties or taxes paid to the destination country by FedEx on behalf of the customer.  However, as a gesture of goodwill, a one-time credit of $75.95 has been applied.  Any future shipments will be eligible for the assessment of duty and taxes.

      We value the trust our customers place in us, and we look forward to serving you more satisfactorily in the future.

      Respectfully,

      On 12/13/2022 I shipped a package to my son in ***********. I listed the value at $350.00 as I retained all teceipts for enclosed items. The tracking said it should arrive on 12/15/2022. It was alledged that it arrived on 12/16/2022 because of weather. I notified my son that the package had arrived and was placed inside a locker on premises. My son had told me when packages arrove at his apartment complex and items are placed into a locker, once closed a combination is sent to the resident. My son stated when he got off work he went to check on the package. There was no package and he never received a combination notice. He went back the next 3 days and he told me he never received the package. He also went to the other two apartment complexes next to his and there was no package there either? I filed a claim for the package on 8th of January with all item receipts attached with claim. On Jan. 11th I received a denial notice stating since I did not do a "signature required" with the package, Fed Ex denied and would not cover any value of the package. I was never told by the repersentative at the Fed Ex store located at **********************************. in my hometown. All I was asked was what was the "declared value" and was ground shipping okay, that was it. With items valued at $350.00 if told if you do not do "signature required" who would not pay to do that or authorize them to do this. Because "if" they said we assume zero responsibility if you don't do this they can deny the claim, which is what they did. When I received the email denying the claim they claim they dida through investigation, but neither the complex mananger, his staff or my son were contacted in the process. I spoke the manager and he stated there is a sign in the office directing the delivery people to try to deliver to the residents address first prior to dropping packages at the office. The bottom line is the driver said it was "in locker" but no combination was sent ever. I have email denial if needed?
