      I ordered a product that was being shipped through FedEx. It was shipped out on 10/3/22 and it was expected to be delivered by 10/6/22. My package was stuck in one city until 10/9/22 with no update or answers as to what happened. Finally on 10/9/22 my package was updated saying it arrived to my city and was put out for delivery at 7:49am. At 8:37pm, I still had no update or package so I called. I was told that my package is still on the truck for delivery and they will send an alert to the driver to speed up the delivery. I waited an hour and still had no package. (Mind you I work early hours and didnt want this expensive package sitting overnight so I stayed up). I called again around 9:30 and this time was told that my package never actually made it onto the truck and it was never actually going to be delivered today. I asked why I was told that it was still on the truck an hour ago. I was told that their system was clearly updated at 5:30 that it wasnt on the truck. I let them know that according to my tracking number information and the website, it still says out for delivery and as Im writing this complaint at 9:50 PM it still says out for delivery. The person I talk to you on the phone was rude and couldnt answer any of my questions and did not understand why I was upset I was not yelling or being rude myself I just wanted my package. The person on the phone then started saying that I could be reimbursed for my services and when I asked questions he wouldnt really give me an answer because I was very confused as to what he was talking about. I asked him if there was anyway we can make sure my package gets delivered tomorrow. He rudely told me that it will be delivered because they have schedules and thats how they work. I said my package was also scheduled today but here I am with no package and Ive been told many things. Im upset because my package was lost for days and now I waited for a package I was never gonna get today with rude customer service.

      On many occasions now I have purchased products from different companies and utilized Fed Ex as the shipper of purchased items. Many months ago items of value were left in my driveway (alley behind my home). The driver noted the delivery was the front door (which is covered by balconies and protected from the elements unlike the rear of my home garage/driveway area. I went to speak with the ground shipping manager then in ***************. He stated he would talk to the driver about the work.About two weeks ago another order of two items was shipped to my home and unlike recent mid week Fed Ex deliveries arrived on a Sunday and again was noted for front door delivery. The picture sent by the driver was that of my rear alley driveway pavers (not the packages) where I found the two packages in the elements. I called Fed Ex customer service and attempted to seek some resolution to the issue and the foreign operator gave me a Case number C-********. No call or contact was made to me from Fed Ex about that case.On this date (10-09-22) I was advised that another package (tracking #************) was delivered and noted to my front door. Again, this front door highly visible with other residences is covered by two balconies and regularly found by both FedEx, **** and the ***** However, this package (which the driver included a photo of the interior floor of his delivery truck to the delivery - not the packages) was found outside in the back alley by my garage door in the rain.This Sunday delivery driver his pictures do not include the actual packages, the drivers notation of the front door is incorrect or or an outright lie. The work of these deliveries mentioned has me perplexed from norm of better service and delivery from Fed Ex. I am beyond frustrated at the layers of offshore customer service while merely trying to speak to a local manager & resolve their continued service deficiency.

      My package was set to arrive today - I live in an apartment. I made sure to be home. There was no attempt to deliver at all, yet I got a delivery exception update that the business is closed or person not available. The office is closed but packages should come directly to the recipient not an office. The building is unlocked and then you buzz the unit number. This has happened more than once that they do t even attempt fo deliver it, instead just say they were unable to. When waiting on an item its frustrating when this happens. Is there a way that drivers can at least try delivering to the person. I use delivery services often so I know its a possibility. ******************** Is my tracking number. Thank you.

      I called FedEx a total of 11 times trying to find someone who could tell us what the **** where our perishable package was. It was a futile attempt. I even when to a supervisor which promised we would get a call back with in an hour, that was Friday the 7th of October 2022, no phone call was returned. We were lied to multiple times, and even refused to talk to a supervisor on two other occasions. THE ***** THAT WERE SHIPPED ARE PERISHABLE. The items were packaged in a cooler with dry ice and can only last 3 to 4 days. I have talked to the vendor and they promised me a new shipment, I told them of my dilemma and tried to get them to use a different shipper, but was told they have a contract with them. I asked them to try and use a different route as the Cocoa distribution center obviously needs knew management. I say this because Each time I called FedEx customer support I asked them to ask the distribution center to call me so I could go and see if I could retrieve package myself. They never called, Conclusion: FedEx needs to clean up their act, I have never had these types of issues with other shippers. When I order again I will go and pick the items up my self. Their customer support needs to be retrained to state the facts not their BS. When I called my vendor they checked and said they had a photo of my item sitting in front of a garage door and it showed an address of ****, my address is 521, there is not a **** on ***** Drive. The need to replace the item and pay inconvenience penalty. If I don't get satisfaction this will end up in court.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Your tracking information said on Friday October &, 2022 the item was delivered, to the wrong address, customer service said the item was retrieved and was would be delivered on the 8th, never happened, than your tracking info said it would be delivered on the 9th , never happened, Customer service said on the evening of the 9th that the item would be delivered tomorrow the 10th, never happened. The item was delivered on the 11th Tuesday, it came with the top crushed in, and it had been opened and items were missing out of the box. Your driver came as I was disposing of what was left of the item, he stated that he was the one who delivered the item..I asked him if he noticed the condition of the item and he said yes, and that his supervisor told him to make sure that it was delivered today,(Tuesday). He also told me he saw the item sitting in the warehouse for severe days. This item is clearly marked perishable. Very poor service, very inconstant statements and misinformation from fedEx

      Fedex repeatedly states " customer not available ro business closed" ". This is just simply a lie. We've dealt with this repeatedly. They can't find us becuase this is a fairly new subdivision, but this house/address has been present for 18 months now. The only option I have is to drive an hour away and pick it up? Why would I do that when they were paid to deliver these items. Neighbors have same issue. It absulutely dumbfounds me that a global delivery service does not have up to date GPS. At least own it if you can't find an address rather than blame the customer. This particular tracking number is #************

      FedEx scans the back of my Drivers License to deliver wine. I am over 70 and would gladly share the front but am very concerned with security issues scanning the bar code on the back of my license. I have been a victim of identity theft and obviously look over 21. Friends in other states are not subject to this rule.
