************ is the tracking. I have had a problem with fedex for 3 years now. Only once did they deliver correctly and the other times I have begged the manager to please have their driver get the misdelivered package. Now the driver has misdelivered the package again. My dear wife who cant see very well was trying to look for it but could not find it. I now have to drive from a different city, to go look for it. I wrote the directions to our home very descriptive. I am disappointed in the driver who does not care to even follow the directions. What is the point of fedex manager if the driver does not care to read it? I would like the manager to explain why I have three years of misdelivered packages. At this point I would be willing to pick up any and ever package from the fedex pickup site for now on since that is the only place they seem to get right. I am disappointed. We are work hard or atleast I would like to think that we all work hard. I cant help but feel my name is specifically the reason why the package keeps getting delivered elsewhere.

Package sent, FedEx carrier did not leave package based upon an hotel employee unable to verify. Nothing left at front desk to track package! Called customer service to ask, what is the (hub) office where packages are sent back....FedEx Rep kept saying we need a tracking number. Asked to speak to a Supervisor told there is no supervisors! 1. How can FedEx only have one way to track packages? 2. FedEx ****** didn't leave proper door notice (just in case the guest was expecting the package) 3. No supervisors 4. Doing business but the customer can hardly understand what is being said...customers and FedEx Customers Service Rep need to be able to properly communicate 5. Difficulty speaking to a live agent 6. Employees not following proper protocol/procedure delayed my package (wait until I contact the sender for a tracking number or the package was sent back).Business Response

FedEx is not customer centered nor friendly. They are circumventing around consumer complaints with an one sided tracking system, which kill a complaint at step one, not being able to be heard! FedEx fail to empathize with consumers, even when they fail to leave a door tag! No one should be allowed to reject a package that is not addressed to them! As a consumer I do not like when business make up things as they go! FedEx is defrauding consumers! FedEx refuse to re-delivery package after stating a second attempt would be made which never happened! Then I was told the package would be returned to sender, even after I contacted FedEx numerous times!Customer Answer

Dear *************************,
This is in response to your inquiry addressed to the Better Business Bureau.
Your concerns regarding issues with Customer Service have been brought to the attention of management of the representatives you spoke with. Door tags can not be left with front desk attendants at hotels for security reasons.
On behalf of FedEx, we extend our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you have encountered. Your business is very important to us, and we hope you will allow us other opportunities to serve you.

I am rejecting this response because:1. The package was rejected by a third party, not the intended recipient! So, how is the consumer to track a refused package when a door tag can not he left due to safety concerns? This is a way to kill consumers complaints! Then there should be an alternative way to search for a package!
2. Even after numerous calls the package was delayed then sent back to sender (not immediately but days past). No second delivery attempt!
3. FedEx should find an alternative way to hear consumer complaints!
Sincerely,

On 9/7/22 I used my FedEx account # ********* to generate an ********************** service shipping label and ordered a pick-up of my daughter's forgotten wallet (indicating an estimated value of $100) at ********************************, ******, ** (the Lodge). I emailed the label and pick-up information to **************** at the Lodge so that he could put the wallet in an envelope to give to the FedEx pick-up agent. Fed-ex tracking # ************ shows the item was picked up, reported as damaged at Bloutville, TN, and still "IN TRANSIT" one month later on 10/8/22. One month later I still don't have the package. I filed claim # C-******** with FedEx and have called numerous times to request the shipping charges be refunded and that I be reimbursed the stated value of the wallet ($100), which would cover part of the cost and inconvenience of replacing the contents of the wallet. FedEx representatives have told me at least 4 times that they'll have to forward the issue to someone else and will get back to me but they don't follow through. This is absurd! I'm thoroughly unsatisfied with FedEx and want FedEx to contact me and resolve this matter without further delay.Business Response

Well I ordered a product that was shipped out Thursday October 6th. It was shipped standard overnight with an expected delivery date of the 7th before 8 pm. At around 6pm the order was delayed keep in mind this is the second or third time that this company has done this. So it's very disingenuous that the people who shipped the item paid for overnight and aren't getting it and me as the consumer aren't getting the item in time frame from the emails. I deserve an explanation on why to many packages isn't a good enough excuse. In fact it's a lousy one fedex continuously does this package delay c*** at the cost of the shipper and receiver. It needs to stopBusiness Response

Fedex Tracking ************. Made online purchase of a sewing machine (`$400), necessitating an adult signature for delivery. On 10/6/2022 I received an email from the retailer that the Fedex delivery would be on 10/7/2022. I confirmed this by tracking the package on the Fedex website. I re-arranged my schedule to be home all day to sign for the package. At approximately 3:00pm, I tracked the package again and the Fedex website indicated that they had attempted delivery at 12:03pm but no one was home. We were not only home but my Ring camera shows that I was on my front porch at 12:03pm, decorating for Halloween, I have a link to the video that I can share if necessary. NO ONE ATTEMPTED DELIVERY, I was home all day. I made 3 phone calls to Fedex customer service. They told me that their website did not say that the package was to be delivered on 10/7 and that they could not see an attempted delivery. When I complained that I saw otherwise, they either referred me to another number (one call) or hung up on me (twice). I have uploaded a Word document showing the tracking information I can see. This has been a very unsatisfactory experience.Business Response

FedEx said they delivered my package and they didnt. At the time they said they delivered the package I was sitting on the porch. No one never attempted a delivery.
