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.Business Response

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.Business Response

I am angry that FedEx delivers packages to me by leaving them by my outside gate at the street where anybody can pick them up and steal them, instead of walking the packages up onto my front wooden porch, or around the back under the carport, where they cannot be readily seen. I live in a high-crime neighborhood which just adds fuel to my fire. How can anybody with any intelligence at all not understand this? Today, I had a package delivered and the FedEx driver placed it just inside my gate. It has a tracking number of ************. I am attaching pictures of it to this complaint. The pictures are time and date stamped. They show the package delivered and vulnerable to being stolen.Business Response

I ordered a high priced monitor from ****.com. It was dropped at the ********** fedex facility on 1/30/23. It has never left the facility according to ship tracking logs provided by Fedex. I contacted Fedex and was told they are doing a trace. I contacted **** and they told me they cannot move forward with shipping me a replacement until Fedex says the package is lost. As you can see from this tracking link(***************************************************************************************) Its safe the say the package has been lost. Fedex will not **** this package as lost. I will have to wait till the 24th of February to receive another one anyway(which unfortunately will be sent via fedex again). This is not the first time I have lost a package via Fedex, it seems like a package sent via fedex, there's a 50/50 chance it will never reach me. Today, on 2/6/23, I contacted Fedex requesting to speak to their ***************** as previously instructed. At this time, the personnel told me that they are unable to contact any ***************** Unfortunately, this is a high priced item and will be difficult to replace. Please help to find a remedy for this situation as Fedex has not be able to locate the package, **** will not resend a monitor due to Fedex lacking in their service.

Tracking: ************ Delivery attempted Wed 2/1. We were not home. Tag was left. I called a few hours later to manage a redelivery. The agent said the shipment was blocked from this service, continually referred to our home as a business (this was consistent with every agent every day), and said that redelivery attempts would automatically happen every weekday between 9 am-12:30 am.This was a lie.We took two mornings off and sat and waited, and no redelivery attempts were made.I have called FedEx multiple times a day since the initial delivery attempt, and every single agent is the absolute worst and they all have different and conflicting information. I have even emailed a corporate email address, and they told me I must speak with the heavy freight department. Same story - every agent is the absolute worst and they all have different and conflicting information that is never correct.I have been told: redelivery would happen Feb 2 redelivery would happen Feb 3 I don't need to call to request redelivery I MUST call to request redelivery redelivery would happen Feb 6 (yet it's still as pending) --> An agent called ** spoke to a local agent called ***** who said this, but clearly this isn't happening)Why do you lie so much?How can a company be this inconsistent in it's customer service and still be considered remotely reliable?Will you do what you were actually paid to do and delivery our package?Business Response

I ordered something. I paid the company $17 shipping. Fed ex has had my package since January 27th. On February 2nd the status said it was on the truck for delivery. It never came. On the 3rd, it said it was out for delivery but never came. Now I get a message saying the package is delayed again. The automated service says our reps don't have any more information and hangs up on me. It's crazy how business can manipulate thing like this and it's legal.Business Response

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
