      My package has now been updated to delayed but no reason as to why it is delayed when the package has been in transit for 4 days. I stay 5 hours away from *******, **. I paid for express shipping for this package and never had this problem before when my packages come through **** There is no way to contact anyone to help with the situation.

      On Monday 1/30/23 I purchased an overnight delivery request from a Fed Ex store for $57.86 and was promised delivery on Tuesday 1/31/23 by 4:30pm(Tracking number ************). I found out the overnight delivery never arrived so I called Fed Ex on Wednesday 2/1/23 at 4:32pm EST. The representative told me there was some type of delay and that it may be weather related and wasn't sure if/when it would get there. I let her know that I didn't hear of any delays of issues that could possibly affect the shipment not arriving on time otherwise i would have gotten standard shipping and not paid the premium(or went elsewhere). She apologized for inconvenience told me I would be refunded, however they can't officially enter refunds until 24 hours after it arrives. The delivery arrived Thursday. I noticed today, 2/6/23 that my refund still hadn't arrived. So I called back 2/6/23 at 5:21pm. This representative tells me that they don't offer refunds if its delayed due to weather due to "uncontrollable circumstances". I explained to him like I did the first representative that wasn't made aware of knew of any weather issues that could effect delivery otherwise I wouldn't have gotten overnight. He then practically repeats that "we don't offer money back for delays due weather" I told him that the first representative offered a full refund and emphasized that this was an overnight service that i wouldn't have gotten if there was any possibility you couldn't deliver. I asked to speak with a manager and he told me that i'm not eligible for money back and then disconnected the line. If they had offered to credit me the difference between standard and overnight shipping i would have accepted, but the fact that i was lied to by first representative(if they really don't offer refunds) and hung up on by second representative when i asked to speak with manager. I'm requesting to be compensated back in full for this.

      Paid for expedited shipping on a package that was supposed to be delivered on 32Jan23. Here we are on 06Feb and nothing. Everyday the delivery driver says attempted delivery but I was not home to sign. I haven't left and took all that time off for it. Door tag left he said. None. Everyday I call and promises are made but of course nothing still. I did however get accused of lying about being home and stressed that I need to be there. Of course I was. This company is trash. The staff doesn't care. They don't need my money so I don't matter. Even emailed the *** to no avail.

      On several occasions I have ordered wine to be delivered, which requires a delivery to my house for me to sign that I am 21. Every time (this has happened 4-5 times) Fedex tells me to be at home at a certain time, and I wait for them, and every time, I get a message from Fedex at the end of the day that I was not at home and they can't deliver. They do not even try to come to the house, they routinely lie and claim that I am not at home. Either this is an explicit company policy, or the lack of control of rogue employees. I am currently experiencing this with shipment number *************** . I would like to speak to someone directly responsible for Fedex Ground to my location, and then I want them to deliver the load to my house as they have contracted to do.

      Good afternoon ******************,

      Your claims have been escalated to the ******************** Office for review and response. After a review here is what has been determined:

      393641106117: We will need photos showing how this was packaged inside of the carton to continue the review. This was returned to you by another carrier before we were able to issue a call tag for an inspection. 

      393298724978: The photos provided indicate that there is something wrapped in bubble wrap inside of the package. We scheduled a call tag to pick up and inspect the package, however it was not provided to us when the driver showed up. We made three attempts before closing the claim. It was declined based on the failure to provide the package for inspection.

      393777110477: The agent assigned requested additional photos showing how the guitar was packed inside of the box.  This is crucial when determining the liability for damages. Please provide the photos requested in order to continue a review of the claim.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      393777110477

      This tracking number had the updated pictures uploaded and there has been no additional response from FedEx. I added the picture on here so the company can have an extra copy.

      393641106117

      This package had to be returned because **** terms and conditions require it. The label was bought on **** to ship it to the customer. There was no additional damage from the other shipping carrier that returned the package. It is clear from the picture that the only damage was done by Fed ex's negligence.

        393298724978

      The packaging is being shipped to me to take to the local fedex office to have them inspect it. It is neglectful you would deliver an empty package and not scan it damaged when it clearly was.

      Good morning,

      The value placed on these packages is not insurance, it is declared value. All that declared value does is let us know what the items in the package are worth and sets our maximum liability amount should something occur. This is in no way a guarantee of payment.  We have tried to establish whether we are liable for the damages, but we need the following information in order to do so: 

      393641106117: We will need photos showing how this was packaged inside of the carton to continue the review. This was returned to you by another carrier before we were able to issue a call tag for an inspection. 

      393641106117: We will need photos showing how this was packaged inside of the carton to continue the review. This was returned to you by another carrier before we were able to issue a call tag for an inspection. 

      The other package, 393298724978, was declined because we scheduled a pick-up to weigh and inspect the package, but the recipient did not provide that to us. It is in our FedEx Ground Rules Tariff, that we reserve the right to inspect any package and request whatever documentation that is required in order to resolve a claim. Please provide the requested information so that we may continue to work towards a resolution.

The legal department has been reviewing my claims for over a month now with no resolution. One was passed the legal department on 8th and the other on the 9th.

      Your report to the Better Business Bureau regarding tracking number 394065982232 was received. 
       
      Our records indicate that your shipment was delayed due to inclement weather conditions that impacted our operation during the time in which your shipment was transported. Tracking data reflects that the shipment was delivered at  Feb 7, 2023 at 10:20 a.m. local time. 

      Per our terms and conditions we will not be liable for, nor will any adjustment, refund or credit of any kind be given as a result of, any loss, damage, delay, mis delivery, nondelivered, misinformation or failure to provide information on a weather delay.  

      As a goodwill gesture, a credit of $35.55 has been applied to the shipment.
       
      We are certainly aware that our customers expect only the best possible service, and we are concerned that we failed to meet your expectations. On behalf of FedEx, I offer our sincerest regrets to you and all involved parties for any consequences caused by this incident. We hope that we will have future opportunities to serve you more favorably.

      This is the second time a valuable package has been delivered across the road (where my house is clearly visible with no other residence), in a snow bank. FedEx has not resolved this issue, does not take it seriously and continues to hire lazy workers that cant seem to deliver to a legal address. My driveway is a semi-circular ************** for a vehicle to go through without needed to backup or turnaround. Theres absolutely no excuse.

      I was the receiver for a Fedex package ************ scheduled for delivery 2/6/23. On the 3rd I requested a schedule change for 2/9/23 which I was billed $5.55 to my personal card. My card was charged on the 3rd as expected and the deilivery was made on the 6th as originally scheduled while I was away on vacation. I called Fedex customer service and they refused to provide a refund despite the services not being redered. It's completely unacceptable for a company to charge people for something that's not provided and then not even bother to refund customers for the service that was never given. This is an outrageous and predatory business practice. To add insult to injury, the customer support rep was completely rude and disrespectful.
