      I had a package shipped 2nd day. The package has been stuck in ******* for 3 days. The package contains medication. There has been no update as to when the package will be delivered. It was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday 31 January 2023. All day the package on the website said it was on time. Never did the update say there was a delay until the next day. Today when I checked the status I was told to contact a customer service ********** I called I got no more information than what the website said. Then she informed me the package would at the earliest be delivered Monday as I did not have Saturday delivery. I paid for 2nd day service and now it will turn into well over 7 days. This medication required to be kept cool.

      We paid $360 dollars for overnight shipping for a package worth $1,800 dollars on 1/31/23. We were understanding at first when it was said to be a weather delay and would be delayed a day or two. After days of this now, our package is extremely late and the agents continue to lie and out our status and continue to put it in pending. As of 2/2/23, it was finally in our same state in *******. At 8:13am, it was in ************** which is 15 minutes from our house. Our package was scheduled to be here today now by 12pm. It is now 12:28 and the agents are now saying by end of day again and its due to a weather delay. At this point, it is not a weather delay. This was a very important package for a medical procedure. The agent continue to refuse to let us speak to someone higher and say we cant have our money reimbursed because its a weather delay issue and not a FedEx responsibility. As of yesterday, it was in atlanta and there is nothing but sun here. We want to be fully reimbursed for our product and shipping costs. The product is completely ruined because it was temperature regulated for only a short period of time. We have all of the phone recordings and screenshots of messages and updates for proof that we have been lied to and not helped in the least bit. All we want is our money back.

      Complaint: 19327793

      I am rejecting this response because: It did not solve my problem at all and the shipper has informed us that FedEx has told them to not file complaints for these issues until further notice. FedEx fails to take responsibility once again. What makes it even worse is the fact that not one representative from FedEx knew what was going on with this package the entire time. At one point, the FedEx rep on the phone was telling me that my package was still at the warehouse when the truck with it actually pulled into my driveway. I kept the lady on the phone and refused the package due to it being way out of time frame and it was a temperature regulated package. I am glad it was finally returned to the shipper but FedEx in no way is helping me at all for the money and medical procedure appointment they have caused me to lose. I do not accept this response. FedEx is a horrible company and I will never recommend anyone ship with them.  

      Sincerely,

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

      FedEx is refusing to deliver my packages. Their employee claims to have attempted to deliver my packages 3 days in a row (January 31, February 1 and February 2). After the second "attempted" delivery, I called FedEX customer service to let them know their employee in fact did not attempt to deliver my packages or leave a door tag. I let them know that there is a call box with a sign that says "Hello. Please use this call box for deliveries." I live in an apartment building and call boxes are very common. I also let them know I would file a complaint with the BBB if my packages were not delivered today. This is an ongoing issue. My husband has previously filed a complaint with the BBB regarding packages not being delivered.

      On 2/2/23 a Fedex driver delivering package with tracking # ************ drove over my lawn repeatedly tearing up the grass and causing ruts. There is ample space to turn around any length of straight/box trucks using simple 3 point turn on the far side of my retaining wall where the driveway splits in three directions. It was daytime and this was easily visible. Instead he chose to make a multiple point turn in a very tight area of my driveway requiring him to repeatedly pull onto my front lawn and turn the front tires across their full range of motion while the vehicle wasnt moving causing the damage. This is all caught on video surveillance.

      FedEx has been messing up with my packages and they have either miss delivered or not delivered my packages. Package with tracking number ************ was never delivered to me but their website states that it was delivered. Made several calls to customer care but no help at all and all the time false promises. They said they have opened a ticket and case manager will call me but no one has bothered to contact me.Travel history of the package says it was on truck for delivery at 4:51am and then it was updated to "At local FedEx facility. Package not delivered/Not attempted" at 10:12am and then all of sudden at 4:22pm status updated to delivered.My question is if it was back to facility at 10:12am, when did it get back to the truck again for delivery at 4:22pm and if that happened why this information was not updated on travel history?I have checked my outdoor video recordings and do not see any motion detection at the time FedEx is claiming as Delivered.They have zero customer support when you call them. Their website does not have anything for customer support. Need my package to be delivered as soon as possible.

      - FedEx was supposed to deliver a small business cargo to a client on 16 January. - The cargo never showed up on 16th. - I received a call from FedEx to reschedule on the 18th. Redelivery was scheduled for the 20th. - Yet again, no one showed up to deliver to our client on the 20th. - I called FedEx on 23rd to inquire. - I was told the cargo will not be delivered until I paid a redelivery fee of $160 but, Im my case the fee had increased to $380 without an explanation. - I called FedEx customer service multiple times without a single person helping - I finally spoke with **** who works in FedEx freight dispute resolution customer service - **** wouldnt or couldnt solve the extra fee issues and refused to allow me to escalate the issue with his supervisor. - I called the local service provider (**********) who cursed at me and hung up on me - I filled an email dispute with FedEx. I was told it takes 24 hours for a response, it has been 7 days. - As it stands, my cargo is determined by FedEx who refuses to deliver, refuse to explain the extra charges to me and customer representatives who have cursed at me, hung up the phone and called me names. - I am a small who depends on services from larger businesses. I have been a client of FedEx small business account for three years and this experience is my last. - I need my cargo delivered to my client.

      I ordered some posters online from FedEx (January 22) to be printed and delivered. The package was delivered on January 28th (Saturday), but the top of the package was sliced open and I was missing some of the posters. I had ordered card stock posters and posters on waterproof paper. The card stock posters were there, but the waterproof paper posters were missing. I waited a few days (until Wednesday 2/1) in hopes that they were just in another shipment, but nothing came. So I made a call to the customer service of FedEx and the woman on the other end of the phone told me she could not help with a damaged/missing situation and that I would need to file a claim on the website. I did so, but there is nowhere to type an explanation of what happened and what I found. There were only boxes to click and a photo to submit. I did all of this, but was denied. There was no explanation for the denial or email to reply to dispute this. I have tried every avenue that I can with FedEx to try to resolve this, but they are currently making me pay for a product that I have not recieved.

      Went to get photocopy at local FedEx Office before work Went to counter told to use self service. If I was helped it would be a **** fee just for a copy and **** surcharge to shrink document by 40%Extremely higher then month before?Other customers rang up were not charged that fee?I called customer service to try to resolve this issue. I tried emailing and it seems like I kept getting transferred from one place to another because it's mostly just a packaging company and there's no real place to complain about office part and photocopy place I want it resolved with refund or someone telling me that's the official rates 2023 Because over phone FedEx customer service said that's WRONG and employee must hv been mistaken. One lady said she is going to return the ***** but I go zero email confirmation or wasn't reflected on my credit card.. I called the number again after work and they said that I'll complaints are dealt with internally and that I wouldn't receive an email?It's sad reality if this company just fakes pity and is all hot air I want to know if that's truly the price for service I received? If so inflation is ridiculous

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.
