On December 23rd I had a very important card that I wanted to get to my fiance's niece by Christmas. The first place I went to was FedEx but they had really high rates. I have never sent mail overnight delivery before. Second I went to *** and their rates were even higher which was the reason ultimately why I went back to FedEx and paid the $80 to have this gift arrive by Christmas Eve. Now I realize that the holidays brings chaos for the mail delivery system I totally understand that but when you have an employee guarantee, I repeat guarantee that this specific piece of mail that weighs as much as a few ounces we'll make it by Christmas Eve that was enough for me to spend the $78 of the $98 I had to my name. So I dropped the cash this was 3 days before Christmas. The next day I decided to look up the tracking on the package ( or should I say envelope) only to find that it says that the package is on time and that it was processed at the point of me dropping it off and it made a trip somewhere didn't really describe where and was currently in ***** ****** now this is the next day and it's still in ***** ****** but it said on time so I didn't think anything of it I figured maybe the tracking system lagged the real time specific information but as the day progressed and I followed the tracking I noticed that there was a problem some point later in the day it there turned into an exclamation point that said that there was a problem. I figured it was a storm maybe I didn't really know but all I knew was that what was most important to me wasn't going to make it on time. So Saturday came and went Christmas Eve and Sunday came and went Christmas Day, and both those days the computer tracking system said the same thing. Logistics or whatever else it was my package didn't make it so it's destination point in the specified time I paid for. It finally made it on Thursday December 29th after traveling to ********* and wherever else. This is truly appalling, and distastefulBusiness Response

FEDEX company out of Whittsett,** had failed to deliver packages to our house twice in the last week. Tracking numbers shows that they delivered a package from Rock Auto and Chewy.com to our house but we have not received either package. Rock Auto cost was $50 for a replacement parking light for our car and the Chewy package cost was $150 for ferret food and bedding. We have tryed to call the FEDEX warehouse in both cases but without any success. FEDEX also didn't deliver a bed frame I had ordered from ******* about 6 months ago. They are delivering our packages somewhere else and we are out of close to $300 for all 3 shipments. They don't even try to find our house because we don't live right at the road but back in the ***** a bit.Business Response

FED-EX does not have any proof of tracking because they delete tracking numbers as soon as they say they deliver it. Only 1 person has actually called me about this problem about 1 month ago but has not been in touch since then. They just want me to drop it so it will go away. They need to be held responsible for not doing what we payed for. I want my money back for the things that didn't get delivered to my house like they should have almost 2 months ago. I will not let this just go away.Customer Answer

A Chewy package was shipped via FedEx on January 27. It is medicine for my pet. The tracking number is ************. The tracking information stated that delivery was attempted on January 29 but that is not true. The email I received stated that the delivery could not occur because no one was home. But I was indeed in my home. They then said that delivery was delayed. When I called FedEx to get an explanation for the delay I received no further explanation for the delay or any assistance. To date the package is still listed as delayed.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:FedEx needs to take responsibility for loosing packages.Instead they always shift blame to whoever you bought it from.I think that is unfair as they were not the one in possession of said package when it was lost.I also know rejecting this means absolutely nothing.

FedEx has been horrible for the last year and a half with deliveries. Losing packages, tossing items out of the back of their truck to my address and even tossing a cigarette **** out in my driveway and he was at the wrong house for delivery.

For awhile now fedex delivery drivers keep going down wrong driveway. According to the delivery drivers we do get to speak with, they tell us that is where their gps takes them. I have tried to fix this with the drivers with no luck. The problem is when we are not home we cant wave them down to get our package. Its rolls over to the next day. I have tried resolving this with fedex with no luck. Ive attached a map of my property to this in hopes BBB can help me resolve this with them. Red shows where they keep going, and the red X shows where their GPS takes them. The yellow line is our front gate to the property and the house marked in purple is my place **** L st. The house at the front of the gate is **** we share the same gate. That gate is where we receive our packages. This problem doesnt happen with any other delivery companies except fed ex. And ive exhausted all other means to fix this. Some cases we dont get our packages within 5 days from expect delivery date. I appreciate any help, and the time spent resolving this issue.

I had a time sensitive package scheduled for delivery [2/4/2023]. I received confirmation from FedEx that it left their location this morning and was on the way and would arrive by 2:50 PM. When it didn't arrive I checked online and their website says the package was delayed until tomorrow [Sunday]. I called their customer service to find out what was going on. The customer service rep tells me it was delayed until Monday. I asked how can it be when I was told by FedEx that it was already in transit this morning. He says he couldn't tell me then says the package will be delivered on Monday now. I repeatedly asked to speak with a supervisor and he repeatedly refused to transfer me to a supervisor until I informed him I was going to file with the BBB if he didn't. He finally agreed to do so. After waiting over 5 minutes i was finally connected. And the person he transferred me to was NOT a supervisor. I asked the new person to transfer me to a supervisor and he refused as well. I have never been treated so disrespectfully by a company as I was today. Instead of fixing the problem both people I spoke with were very argumentative and refused to transfer me to a supervisor.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Your excuse was completely false. True, my shipment was delayed but it had nothing to due with processing. My package was actually in transit and on it's way for delivery that morning, not held up in processing like you claim. Also, the biggest issue about the entire ordeal was the nasty and disrespectful customer service I received when I called about things.
