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

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

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with any details regarding this shipment, the tracking number provided (**********) is not a valid FedEx Tracking Number.
Because your financial arrangements are with the shipper, you should contact them for further
assistance regarding reimbursement or replacement. Please contact your shipper to advise them of the situation as they need to initiate a claim for this shipment.
Thank you for your patience in this matter and for shipping with FedEx.

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
