      I purchased an overnight delivery with an 8:30 AM delivery through the tracking number ************. At no time was I notified that weather may impact the delivery time/date. When the delivery didn't come as purchased, I checked the tracking information which informed me the delivery was still located in ****. I called and spoke with customer service and they told me it was weather related. As we have family in **** as well as ****** and the point of delivery, there wasn't any weather that would impact the delay. I was told by a ******************** at Fed Ex that the weather didn't come in to **** until after the package was to be picked up and weather shouldn't be the issue. I was also told when I called back at a later time that there was an investigation open to locate the package. It was never disclaimed nor did I ever receive a notification that weather may impact the deliver. If that had been the case, I would not have selected the delivery that was selected and paid the increased fees for next day first delivery. I have requested reimbursement and/or the difference due to negligent service and poor consumer protection. I was told that I wasn't able to speak with any supervisor and I was told that there was not a method to dispute. As such, I am reaching out to the BBB to assist in remedying this matter through equitable fair play with consumer advocacy.

      Item was shipped with insurance - on a pallet. Item was delivered on its side (not on pallet side - right side up) and damaged due to how it was delivered. Item had been wrapped inside with multiple layers of foam / cardboard / packing to ensure it would not get damaged. The table had a value of $4,000.00. On top of damage and denying the claim (I've contacted them 15+ times and they keep "reopening the claim" but when I call again there's no evidence of that) they also overcharged for this shipment by $1,100.00

      Business Response

      Date: 02/23/2023

      Good morning,

      Attempts have been made to resolve the claim through additional photos, as the ones provided do not show the damage to the table clearly. ***** with the shipper states that the packaging was not retained as required and that no other photos will be provided. I have explained the need for the photos as a means of establishing carrier liability for any damages. The shipper has stated that they are seeking legal action and so now the claim will remain closed until such time as our legal department directs us to do otherwise or photos detailing the damage to the table can be provided. 

      Sincerely,

      **************** | FedEx Services

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have informed Fedex multiple times - we cannot provide photos as this was delivered over a month ago and they do not have the box anymore.  I called fedex *****x from the time we put in a claim and realized it was damaged.  Not ONCE did they ever ask for additional photos.  This was a large box - how can they expect a client to keep something this size for months at a time?  Had someone properly FOLLOWED UP from FEDEX - we would have had all the photos taken.  For WEEKS I contacted fedex - they kept saying they'd follow up and never did.  This was a disgusting response from them.


      Sincerely,

      Gideon Back

      On 11/08/2022, I purchased a **** FX9 camera system from a seller on **** for $10,715.76. The parcel once shipped received tracking number ************. On 11/11/2022 at 9:20 A.M., a FedEx driver attempted to deliver this package, which required a signature from an adult at the residence, but he never rang my doorbell or knocked on my door. When I got home, there was no parcel waiting for me on my doorstep. I contacted the seller, who assured me the package was sent with full insurance against loss and theft, and that we would get to the bottom of it and I would be able to get a check from FedEx if the driver did not properly deliver the shipment. After some digging, I was able to find the security footage of the driver leaving the high-value package outside in the rain, making no attempt to contact anyone at the residence, and most troubling signing for it himself (as GGAV) and then leaving. Unfortunately, this footage, which only captures when it detects certain motion in certain parts of the frame, failed to capture what happened to the parcel after the driver left. But the package was not there when my cousin arrived home between 5 P.M. and 6 P.M. that evening. I uploaded the video to ******* of the driver signing for the package himself and filed a police report for theft/loss. I contacted FedEx, who almost immediately closed the case as it showed the package had been delivered and signed for. I contacted **** and they did the same. I am unable to come to a resolution. It is not fair or right that a courier can be allowed to sign for expensive merchandise themselves and leave it out in the rain with no one home and without even ringing the doorbell or knocking on the door, when they were specifically bound by contract to secure a direct signature from an adult present at the residence at the time of delivery! My next step if this is not resolved to my satisfaction will be to contact the attorney general of ***** and then begin arbitration if necessary.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have video proof that FedEx did not complete the delivery and failed to properly secure the parcel and ensure that an adult was present to receive the signature-required package. That is a huge part of the couriers job. You failed and seem not to be willing to take responsibility.

      On June 30th, 2021, we closed our business and retired. Our Fed Ex Account was deleted. The building is empty and there is no one there. I would never have known someone was using our Account Number to ship things, and getting away with it, if I hadn't started getting invoices the beginning of January, 2023. The only reason I even got these invoices is because we live in the same small town of only **** people, and our helpful Post office put these in with our personal mail. Otherwise, they would have been sent back to Fed Ex marked out of business, I presume. I called Fed Ex on January 5th, 2023 and talked to *****. She said she could see the account had been deleted and said she didn't know how that could have happened. I got a case #****** and was told to call the fraud department. I have called that number on 1/13, 1/23 and 2/9/23. I have yet to receive a return call. The invoice #'s are ***********, ***********, and ***********. Now I am getting Late Fee notices! I was trying to be helpful by reporting a fraudulent activity which is costing Fed Ex. I am very disappointed that I have not been acknowledged in 4 weeks. I would like to hear from Fed Ex that this matter has been taken care of. If not, I think it could continue and get worse for them.

      Fedex was supposed to deliver a package on Feb 11th, the day after they received the package, they added another 4 days, now it's the 14th. Can't get a hold of a representative and the only thing they say is that the new date. Nothing about taking our money and delivering when the h*** they want. Worst company and worst customer service, they fill their pockets with green and say f off to us. I want to know why they added 4 days onto my shipping? An answer from a real person would be nice.

      Fed Ex lost my package on 2/1/23 and no one has answers. They let their drivers steal and then leave you as a business out of luck and out of money. How does a $1000 printer get lost???? It was scanned on the truck then never delivered so it is theft. At this point this is the 2nd time it has happened and They DONT CARE all of the money I spend shipping I should be entitled to what your driver stole. Then they tell you wait 7 days to never look for a BIG PRINTER nor do anything to the driver which wasted my time before they say go online to file a claim just to get online and CAN NOT file a claim because the website wont let me!

      Yet again, another delivery gone wrong by FedEx. They have yet to do something right yet. It isn't enough that I've called, emailed, & filed a complaint on BBB everytime something goes wrong and what's the solution? Someone from FedEx calling me back, apologizing & telling me it will be corrected by next delivery. NOW, I laugh because it's just an invalid excuse and a joke at this point. Literally, THE WORST courier service in the world! Nothing has ever been resolved. I got 2/3 deliveries shipped to me, only the shipper put in a request to FedEx to update the address and I know FedEx recieved those requests because I got notifications and e-mails regarding those updates but did FedEx follow through? NOPE! Just ignored it & continued delivering to the wrong address. Even if they did get the delivery address correct, they STILL chose to ignore the delivery notes on my account & deliver packages to the WRONG door. Unbelievable. Please implement a training program & get rid of the crappy drivers that don't follow instructions. It's frustrating & annoying. Especially when they deliver packages that weigh 75 ********** can't physically move it!! That's why I leave specific delivery instructions to make my life easier & save my back. Next time, I'll just send you my medical bills.

      I had a package delivered but the driver damaged the package upon delivering it which I captured on my CCTV.I contacted the shipper and requested to return the package due to the damages, the shipper informed me that they would send me a return label in a few days.Before the shipper explained how they sent the shipping label I had the fedex driver which damaged my package stopped to pick up the package.I still did not receive the pick up label so the driver placed a call tag on the package and told me since her truck was full she could not take the package with her at this time.She said she would come back later or another driver would collect the package that she placed a call tag on.I called Fedex to make sure it would be picked up and I was given a local manager # and she told me she would come later that day to pick up that damaged package.Later that day the manager by the name of *************************, cell # ************ did stop by later to get the package.She explained the package was too heavy to carry and she could not get to her dolly due that it was buried behind packages and would need to stop over later so instead of waiting I volunteered to assist her and I helped her carry the package to her truck.I called that shipper and requested a refund now that the package was in the custody of Fedex but the shipper explained that their policy would not allow them to give me a refund until it was received back at their warehouse and I should have a refund within a few weeks to a month afterwards.Unfortunately I was in a motorcycle accident in which I broke my right femur on July 29 2022, afterwards everything else in my life was put on hold.Sometime in September I began to get back to my regular self and at this time I found out I didn't ever get my refund from the shipper from when ************************* recovered the damaged package on June 3 2022.Until this day I have attempted to get my refund from Fedex since they lost my package!

       I believe that the Manager/ driver from FedEx that collected my box would have the best DOT daily driver log to confirm that she picked up my box and then past that point it could point out what happened to my box since she scanned it prior to collecting it. The drivers information follows, *************************;contact personal or FedEx# ************, it was picked up on aprrox June 6 2022.

      Had a package shipped on 12/29/2022 to me. As of 2/9/2023 it's still driving around the US. It's reported a location (and the location has changed) pretty much every work day with a few exceptions. It's been to **** 5 times last I counted. (it's supposed to be delivered in ********). It just keeps moving around from place to place. Leaving in the morning and then either going back to the same place later in the day, or going to a different distribution hub. I tried contacting FedEx customer service and they told me that dealing with lost/limbo packages isn't their problem. They'd do nothing for me, since I wasn't the shipper. I contacted the shipper and the item is being replaced, but I find it asinine that my package, which hasn't been lost, is just going on a month+ tour of the Midwest. How can you run a company this way with such little regard for your customers? I fully expect to keep getting FedEx tracking texts on this package for months to come. I can understand a lost package, but this package is not lost based on the continual tracking update. I've attached the screenshot of the most up to date tracking info if you want a laugh, which has the tracking number on it.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********.  While I don't think there is anything else I "need" from FedEx, the fact that they have been able to recall the package after it spent the better part of 3 months going back and forth between facilities is mind boggling.  I can't imagine a scenario where this could have happened in any legit way.

      Sincerely,

      ******************************************************************************
