Fedex charges more for 2 day delivery but does not advertise that the 2 day delivery does not count weekends.Standard delivery would be cheaper and faster because of this. If you pay for 2 day delivery you expect the package within 2 days. It's false advertising saying it's 2 day delivery and have nowhere that says that this exclude the weekends. Standard delivery delivers on the weekend and packages would arrive at the same time as 2 day delivery if it has to travel over the weekend. Customers are literally paying more for nothing.Business Response

While delivering a package, the fed ex driver drove on my lawn that was recently seeded and cost me $500. It was also raining which caused the truck to cause worse damage to my lawn. The driver clearly knew they were on my driveway given the size of the truck and the manner they were driving. This was all captured on video. Unfortunately, I can only upload pictures and not videos to this site.Business Response

Dates of Issues: Email me for tracking numbers as I do not want the tracking numbers to be publicly displayed (which contain my address).09/18/2022 AND on 09/27/2022 Both packages were delivered to my front porch (finally not in the driveway) - HOWEVER, is there any reason your drivers cannot be educated on what is common sense not leave it in the middle of the porch (visible to the street porch pirates) instead of behind the porch posts (or chair)? What they are stating by putting the packages where they leave them is I AM NOT HOME - STEAL MY PACKAGE AND BREAK INTO MY HOME.Business Response

I ordered the new iPhone 14 pro from a ******* authorized retailer in *********** on 09/26 to be shipped to my house since they currently arent in stock in stores due to demand. It was free 2 day shipping and ******* chose Fedex to do the delivery. An indirect signature was required and on 09/28, I received a notification my package was delivered. I was at work at the time of the delivery and no one else was at my home and when I got home from work there was no package. The receipt I received from FedEx that had a pdf form of proof of delivery, had my signature forged for the indirect signature. I have contacted fedex in regards to the issue and I have been told they are looking into it but I have not had the issue resolved. My assumption especially since my signature was forged and there wasnt a package when I arrived is that the delivery person could have stolen the package because the package would have said it was from *******. The cost of the phone is $1099.99.Business Response

FedX reports they delivered my package to the "garage". Package never arrived. I asked for information. There is no phone number to contact anyone. No phone, email, chat. I followed the resolution procedure and was told only the shipper could request information. I just want to find out where the driver placed my package? It was not delivered to my garage? FedX regularly delivers packages to my residence and I need to know what happened.Business Response

I was shipping 4 boxes to my mother, 3 of which have been delivered, and one being delayed, as all of them were shipped at the same time. One box included a glass spouted pitcher and cookware/bakeware set. When delivered, my mother called to say that the pieces had been broken during the deliver route. I told her to take pictures, and I filed a claim with fed ex, as I had been told to do so. This is the 2nd time they have destroyed my items shipped. I sent the pictures to them, and they said after "their investigation", they denied the claim. I am uphauled at the fact that items were purchased, and trusted to be delivered with care. Only to have them broken during the shipment and then told I've been denied. So I lose my money for shipment and my mother loses her items purchased. Service with this company has been going down tremendously and I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and try again. I will no longer use their services and waste my money or productsBusiness Response

On 9/29/2022 I received notification that my package was delivered by FedEx. It was a package from Bye Bye Baby that contained a baby bottle and toddler formula. As one may know toddler formula or baby formula can be somewhat challenging to get. So, when I found it I ordered two cans. The door that was photographed and sent as proof of delivery was not my door. So, where is my packages. Who were they delivered to? Sometimes it's not the price of the items that hold value, but the contents inside. I need a resolution, not we took a picture of a door with a package.

I paid for a shipping label with Fedex $19.35 on August 24, 2022 - the date the label was generated. Package was scheduled to be tendered on 8/29 but it did not hapen until 9/2. The package was delivered on 9/7, 2022. The tracking number of this package is 777755952821.The person who was dropping the package was ensured by the FEDEX clerk that the pre-paid amount of $19.35 is sufficient for the shipment. I was OK with an additional charge of $38.24 for extra packing. In my oppinion, the extra packing was superfluous, as I was just sending a light wooden bird cage. But it was decided to agree on any packing the staff found reasonable, under the condition that the shipping label will be sufficient for the shipment. I, as the creator of the shipment label, approved the transaction amounting $19.35 and then turned off my credit card. I also reimbursed the $38.24 for the extra packaging to the person who dropped off the package. On September 12, FIVE DAYS after the package was delivered, the credit card company alerted me there was an attempt for likely fraudulent transaction from FEDEX requesting $127.06. I confirmed that I never authorised this amount, following which the bank canceled my card. That was a huge inconvenience as I was traveling internationally just then. Upon my return home, I checked the statements and saw that the original pre-approved charge of $19.35 was never charged by FEDEX. I consider myself to be owing this amout to Fedex. Istead, I received a bill in the mail for $127.06!If FEDEX told me at the time of shipping that charges were to be $107.71 more, I would have flown to pick the birdcage myself or made different arrangements, namely refuse the superfluous packaging! I find this way of treating a customer very unfair.Business Response

Dear ****************,
This is in response to your recent inquiry addressed to the Better Business Bureau. FedEx regrets your disappointment and would like to address your concerns regarding the shipping label you prepared using your credit card at FedEx.com.
The freight charges of $127.06 are valid charges for the shipment invoiced with tracking number ***********. The charges were higher than the initial courtesy quote due to additional weight at time of tender and subsequent added dimensions for the box used for the shipment. 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. Your concerns regarding verification of the quote process have been escalated to the appropriate level of management, where the shipment was tendered.
As a goodwill gesture, a partial credit of $74.13 has been applied to the FedEx invoice 788343767. You will only be responsible for the additional actual weight at time of tender, and not the dimensional sizing. Per our discussion the balance due of the invoice is $52.93.On behalf of FedEx, we extend our sincere apologies for any inconveniences you have encountered. Your business is very important to us, and we hope you will allow us other opportunities to serve you.
Respectfully,
Fedex

I ordered a package through a retailer for overnight delivery. The package was supposed to be delivered Wednesday morning. Instead, their driver did not attempt delivery but marked that he did. Fedex then decided to delay delivery of my package for two days until Friday as if a premium rate was not paid for priority overnight delivery. After I called to complain, they then told me that I could come pick the package up as if they couldn't deliver it today (Thursday) like I paid for them to do. The customer service representative at the ***** number was not helpful and hung up on me. The local rep at the building was not the nicest and did not want to hear my complaints. They offer no avenue to lodge a legitimate complaint. Just make excuses for why they can't deliver packages accordingly.I want a refund of the overnight delivery charge. Delivery should be free at this point.Business Response
