      FedEx completely and consistently misses delivery deadlines. they habitually change delivery dates and create delays for no explainable reason. I have been awaiting a delivery for over a week and they just constantly delay the delivery without attempting delivery.

      Date of occurrence (10/5/2022) Tracking Number: ************ Case Number: C-********. Website is not compatible to support personal property damage claims. I called & a rep said to file claim through "damaged packages" and was the only way. Claim was denied and the reason given was not relevant. The package was not damaged. A FedEx driver damaged my doorbell by placement of a package. Website only supports picture and word document. A picture was sent as an explanation of what occurred, but video supports the damage and PDF supports the vender response to no responsibility for repair. I am unable to upload these types of files through FedEx website for claims per error message "files are not supported". I sent an email to **************************************************************************************** approximately 5 days ago after claim was denied and have not received a response. I sent a second email with additional info. All the files that were not excepted by the website were successfully sent through email. This was not a "no reply email" and did not receive an error message when sending. I tried to go to the website to submit some of the files that were compatible, but website appears to be stuck to no avail. The same info that I submitted through email, I am resubmitting today through the BBB website.

      As we discussed, the appropriate management has been notified of your concerns regarding the tracking number 278675410856.

      Our records indicate a proof of delivery on October 5, 2022, at 11:09 a.m.  You advised of property damage and complaint case

      was opened on November 3, 2022, (**********) and the information was forwarded to the local Ground facility for review and

      follow-up by Management.  Per conversation on November 8, 2022, you advised that you received a call from ****** who 

      provided an email to send additional information and sent you communication to begin a property damage claim.  A message

      has been sent to ****** and the managers to follow-up with you.  Also, please use the email provided to communicate with them.


      Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience you have encountered. We value the trust our customers place in us,

      Complaint: 18342058

      I am rejecting this response because:  FedEx employee ****** is not in charge of my case anymore. A 3rd party, ARC representative for which I had no name or direct way to speak with them is processing my claims request. ****** is doing his best to assist me regardless but was running into the same issues. This is why I reached out to the BBB a second time. I finally got a response (11/18/2022 at 2:39PM): "Please allow a few days for it to be reviewed. If approved, a check will be sent to your address via **** in an envelope from ********** Management. On average,payments take ***** business days from the start of the review process to arrive. This is just an average, and some checks may arrive before or after that time frame. If you do not receive your check within 30 days of the date it was processed, please let us know." The response does not specifically mention any farther correspondence. It does not say if I will receive an approved or declined confirmation email or letter (hopefully within a few days).It says if I do not receive a check after 30 days, I should contact them. Not sure if an accepting response will close my case. At the most, I may be waiting an additional 30 days for a resolution. I hope my case will stay open for the duration. I am unsure why the claim has to go to management while in the hands of claims rep. Much appreciated for all your assistance as always.

      Thank you,

      I have a package being delivered by FedEx that originated in ******, *******. The tracking number is ************. I do not know where this package is. I have called FedEx twice and gave them my social security number, which they need for customs clearance, but still the tracking website says that they need more information. The operators at the call center do not speak clear English, so it has been hard to communcate with them. This is a valuable shipment, and I need to get it as soon as possible.

      On 10/10/22 I purchased a shipping label for $57.71 and dropped the package off the very next day. My package did not move again for 11 days! I filed a lost package claim and there was no follow up. My package was almost 2 weeks past the delivery date I was given when my label was purchased. Now on top of this they are charging me $159.19 for the package delivery. I demand a full refund on this. Customer service was of no help at all and if this is the way FedEx treats customers I will definitely never ship anymore of my business through your services!

      I purchased an edible arrangement for a friend that recently discharged from the hospital. The delivery was set for FED EX Express to deliver as the edible arrangement store say they are not responsible when the item leaves the store with FED EX. I was told the claim has to me be made through FEDEx Express (the carrier). I submitted a request to open the investigation with FEDEX and they completed the investigation. The lady I tried to sent arrangement to informed me that they contacted her and she said the item was never received. Now neither FEDEX or Edible Arrangements wan to pay back my money. This has been ongoing since June 2022 and I would like it resolved as soon as possible.My Edible arrangement order number is W1006877646-1 FEDEX Tracking Number is ************ The cost was ***** for the edible arrangements The shipping cost was ***** The grand total was *****

      I ordered an Apple Watch from best buy. Upon the package being delivered, I realized the package was empty. The bottom of the box had been cut open, contents removed & retaped. Upon filing a claim with fedex, my claim was denied. So I am left without reimbursement for $846.94. Id like to also note that the package was on my front porch for approximately 10 minutes before I brought it in living in a rural neighborhood, there is ZERO chance that it was stolen from my porch. Secondly, there is a fedex label overtop the clear packing tape that was used to reseal the bottom of the package. FedEx is without a doubt 100% responsible for the contents.

      The claimant has been notified that he needs to have the shipper file a claim on his behalf. The shipper has a contractual agreement with FedEx that states they are the only party allowed to file a claim on anything that they ship. The shipper wants all claims to come through them directly. As such, we are not allowed to handle any claims unless Best Buy files the claim. The claimant, ******************, will have to go through the shipper. Nothing further can be done until this happens.

      Dear *********************:

      This is in response to your recent inquiry addressed to the Better Business Bureau.

      The freight charges of $60 are valid charges based on the weight and dimensions for the shipment traveling on package tracking number ************. Dimensional weight rating is a pricing procedure used to calculate rates based on package size, or volume, rather than on the actual weight. The concept of dimensional weight has been adopted by the transportation industry worldwide as a uniform means of establishing a minimum charge for the cubic space a shipment occupies.

      Per our conversation, you will address the additional charges with eBay.

      On behalf of FedEx, please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience you were caused.

      I am emailing in regards to FEDEX. I have a package being delivered now for 3 days and have yet to receive my package. I put in a complaint and they wrongfully and negligently marked it as resolved as no one has contacted me in regards to my $800 package. Their driver pulled up to my home and never ring my bell. They act as if they are untouchable. I need my package and they will not allow me to speak to a manager that o have been requesting for 3 days now. My tracking number is ************. I have been desperately trying to file complaints and nothing is being done. Where is the care here? Please help. My package was supposed to be delivered today and has not been.

      According to our records, this tracking number was not addressed to you, and it was not delivered to your address.  Because you are not listed as the named shipper or recipient of this tracking number, I trust you understand I am unable to provide any additional information to you.  However, I trust this information is sufficient in confirming FedEx did not deliver a shipment to you that traveled on FedEx tracking number 279665955817.

      I hope this information is helpful.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. 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. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
