I paid an arm and a leg to have a package delivered to me using Fedex. The tracking number is ************. This package was not delivered to me. Absurdly, the Fedex delivery person came all the way to my apartment complex with the package, but rather than actually delivering it to me, he left me a note telling me to come and pick it up instead. If he is at my home, why in the world would he not *************** to me?! I then was forced to leave work early and go and pick up the package. Why on earth did I pay a fortune to Fedex, only to have to pick up this package myself? I asked the Fedex employee at the pickup location for an explanation. She was clueless. She told me she had no idea why Fedex did not deliver my package to me. I asked her if I could speak to the manager. She said that the manager wasn't there. She told me to call the Fedex general phone number. That phone number is not attended to by a human being. Instead, it uses AI to respond to customers who become so frustrated at being forced to "speak" to a computer, that they eventually hang up. I know that because I called it earlier in the evening and had that very experience. I paid Fedex $50 to have a package delivered directly to me, but I instead had to miss work and go out of my way to PICK IT UP MYSELF. I am demanding a full refund for this nightmare of an experience.Business Response

Case #: C-******** Fedex is refusing to deliver my package even after a long delay that was caused by their driver. They closed the case number above claiming the package was delivered on 11/8. They provided a picture that proved the package was delivered to another location! Please take a look at the difference between my condo tracking # ************ and where it was dropped off tracking # ************. It's clear Fedex driver left the package at the wrong location.Business Response

Expensive package has been stuck at the same FedEx location since 11/2. I've contacted them numerous times and I haven't gotten the same answer twice. https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/?trknbr=279695315810&trkqual=2459881000~279695315810~FX During the last call they've stated my "case" has been reassigned again with no further updates. This is not acceptable at all. They have not reached out to me via email/phone/sms or anything about any of this.I've recorded the last couple of phone calls for further evidence. They are the absolute worst carrier company you can work with. I've attempted every option available to me to resolve this, but FedEx is s*** Hence why I'm here.This package value is excess of $1,000. I'm expecting them to resolve this immediately.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Hey, the complaint is that when you'll do NOT have the staff to deliver the parcel you state that "the business is closed" which makes it look like you'll could NOT deliver because my business was not open. Yes FedEx did eventually deliver the parcel but you'll should just state "Delivery NOT attempted" instead of "the business is closed".While I appreciate the phone calls I DO NOT APPRECIATE HOW YOU'LL REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND MY COMPLAINT.

My employer, via a 3rd party company called ComputerCare, shipped me a new laptop to replace my damaged laptop on November 1, 2022. Because I would be out of town the rest of the week (until Monday, November 7th), on November 2nd (Wednesday) I used FedEx Delivery Manager to pay $33.50 and have the laptop delivered to my parents' home in ********, ****. On November 4th (Friday), I checked the tracking information online (FedEx tracking # ************) and realized it was on the delivery truck for delivery in ******** instead of ****. See receipt attached.At that point -- around Noon on Friday, November 4th -- I reached out to FedEx customer service on ******* to see why the package had not been redirected to ****. They said that the package was not being redirected and that I could request a refund. I confirmed with the customer service agent that they would attempt to deliver the laptop in ******** on Monday, November 7th (see screenshot attached) and received instructions for how I could request a refund for the $33.50 I paid to have it redirected to ****.While I was still in ****, FedEx attempted to deliver the laptop on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday they established that the delivery was the "final attempt." I reached out to customer service and explained how customer service had assured me they would deliver the laptop on Monday, and they requested another delivery attempt. No attempt was made on Tuesday, November 8th and so I reached out again. Customer service then indicated that the service center would not be able to attempt another delivery, despite my extenuating circumstances.They will return the package, at ComputerCare's cost, to ComputerCare because I am unable to retrieve the package from their service center.I would like FedEx to honor their word and:- Refund my $33.50 - Waive the return fee for ComputerCare - Expedite the return and re-delivery of the laptopBusiness Response

I recently sent my computer for data recovery as the disk on my iMac crashed. When the data recovery providers shipped the computer back on 3-Sep 2022 (tracking number ************ ), FedEx lost the package and after chasing them for over 2 months (Case c81366700), they finally gave a $125 refund, which doesnt even cover what I paid to ship my Mac back n forth. FedEx wont talk to me as Im not the shipper and the data recovery provider is hardly interested in chasing on my behalf. I have not only lost my computer but also my personal data on it which can have serious consequences.I have always rated FedEx over other courier services and used them over the years but after this experience I doubt Ill ever trust them with my packages.Business Response

re: tracking numbers **** **** **** and **** **** **** Yet again these two packages were left down at the entrance of our driveway with an OPEN gate. The driver infers that the gate was closed by calling it a "gated driveway", which is a lie.I have spoken to *********************** at FedEx about this problem and she promised me that it had been fixed. Obviously that is not true. Either the driver making these deliveries should be fired, or his/her supervisor needs to be fired. ****************** messages are not getting through to one or both of them.My wife is undergoing chemo treatments for cancer. I am still recovering from a heart attack a few months ago. Neither of us needs this sort of stress on top of everything else. FedEx needs to either fix this problem, or hand off the packages to **** which does not seem to have a problem delivering to our house. Don't call me. Just fix the darn problem, please.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.However, please note that any of your drivers complaining that the road and/or my driveway are too small for a FedEx truck to traverse without sustaining damage is being untruthful. Unless your trucks are substantially larger than *** trucks, which deliver here quite often, then your trucks will not have any issues. I guess that this is a convenient lie for lazy drivers. Also, please note that the gate at the end of my driveway is NEVER closed. Hasn't been for at least 20 years.

I have a package that is stuck with customs. It's been there for a few days. I have called over 20 times to customer service where they can provide no help. The best they can do is give me the contact number and extension number for a man named "*****" from Fedex Trade Networks Transport and Brokerage at the ******* location. He is apparently very busy because my calls are going unanswered repeatedly. I am trying to get information sent to them to process my package but everyone at this company is making this so difficult. I had two packages sent out at the same exact time, yet one of them arrived fine and the other is being held back for some reason. The company that sent it out to me is international and serves only as a proxy to forward my shipments and they will not answer any of my emails to ask them to reach out to Fedex either, and they wouldn't even if they did because they aren't directly responsible for the items. I'm so frustrated with being on hold and being told that there is nothing that can be done for me. I just want my package to be processed! I put a proper description for the items initially and I really just want my stuff :(I want them to reach out to me please and help me figure out how to get the items sent to me! Thats all I'm asking for.Business Response
