FedEx was paid extra for 'expedited' two day shipping. For their extra charge, they have 1) lost (apparently) the package shipped nearly two weeks ago, to be precise, shipped 13 days ago.2) After repeated calls, FedEx still had done nothing, apparently, to resolve their problem.3) have failed to do as they said; i.e,. to search for the package they misplaced and call back on the result of their searchBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: FedX is IRRESPONSIBLE. it is NOT the shipper who is out the money (over $100), it is I !It makes NO sense that the purchaser is not allowed by FeDX to file a claim, especially when (1) FEdX admits that they lost the package and (2) FedX lost the package at their 'distribution center which is only some 20 miles from our home. In other words, the package made it 500 miles, across interstate lines, and was lost by FeDx at their 'distribution' center.
In any event, I have tried to contact the sender, but have not been able to get a response from Kroger wireless. I have left phone messages, emails, online messages.
Fedx lost the package. If they insist that I, as the one who paid for the package, can not file a claim but only the shipper, THEN FEdX SHOULD CONTACT THE SHIPPER!!

I am rejecting this response because:"shipper must file all claims as per our contract agreement with them" I AM THE ONE who paid for the item shipped. I NEVER agreed to any such ludicrous 'contract agreement'. Even IF the contract so stipulates, the only RESPECTABLE thing fedEX could do is contact the shippper to inquire of them why the shipper is not willing to file a claim.
fedeX, by your incompetence in losing a package, AND BY YOUR TOTAL STUBBORNNESS and TOTAL lack of concern for the ultimate customer, you have gained yourself an extremely DIS-satisfied member of the public.
With an operation like yours, I'd never invest in your 'future'. Indeed, I am going to check with my mutual fund agent, and do my utmost to see that ZERO of my retirement funds are in feDeX financial instruments.

I placed an order via Amazon on Sept 8th for a park bench. The seller is a third party on Amazon and sent a package with a Fed Ex tracking number of ************ that was delivered somewhere in this town on Sept 13th. When I called FedEx to track the package that I didn't receive they indicated that tracking number did not include my name (*********************) or my address (623 E Courtland St) and was only 1 pound - a park bench weighs more than 1 pound. MY ONLY request of Fed Ex it to confirm in writing that the tracking number above was not in my name or my address. I am not asking who's name or address but there is a scam going on with this seller and I am working to get my dollars returned and to stop this scammer as they have done this to several people. I called Fed Ex and indicating I am not putting any fault on Fed EX all I need is confirmation in writing that package with the tracking number above did not have my address so I can work with Amazon and my credit card to get my money back. The rep verbally stated it was not this address but will not give me something in writing. The bank and Amazon are staying the package was delivered, which is true, but the seller is scamming people and sending a small package to not the person and pocketing the money. The seller will not respond to me or Amazon with repeated requests. The rep would not let me speak to a manager (which is my right to do) and disconnected the call as I stated I was going to hold until I spoke to a manager. This is my only way to get to Fed Ex and get this in writing. If the rep would have assisted me or let me speak to a mananger I wouldn't have to go this route.Business Response

Dear *********************:
This is in response to your request for information pertaining to a shipment with FedEx tracking number 277795240428.
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 277795240428. Because your financial arrangements are with the shipper, please contact them for further assistance regarding reimbursement or replacement.?
I hope this information is helpful.

I ordered a Steam Deck from Valve which ended up being shipped through FedEx. The package was shown on the tracker to be delivered early but looked like it was just going to arrive on time which was 09/28/2022. As soon as that date arrived, the package went into a state called "Operational Delay". I contacted FedEx everyday since then and kept getting promised that either the Station where my package was being handled would find and contact me back or the Case Representative would contact me back to further investigate. Everyday since then, I have contacted their support which provided false information and did not provide any callbacks for a supervisor or reach back out to the station for what the status was. Was told to get authorization to pick up my package multiple times which doesn't make sense as why I need to do that if FedEx had not found where my package was when they lost it. Customer Service has to transfer me to their *************** for the case I had opened for my lost package and the result was the same if I was speaking to an outsourced representative. Either they said false information such as the package will surely be delivered tomorrow or that the station or they would contact me after a day or so to see the status of the package. No one has ever contacted me from that department to check or providing any new detail. All of them have regurgitated the same information of the package being delayed on the 28th. I have lost this package twice now in the same location. My friend ordered this product for me months back and was lost in ************ and now I have ordered it being lost in the same location. I just want my package and this has been the worst experience. Every package that will go through FedEx will be lost if going through that location.Business Response

I recently purchased an iPhone 14 Pro *** for my Dad and sent it FedEx thinking they were a reputable shipping company. The package spent almost an entire 2 days in ***** ******** and I thought that was pretty strange. My mom received the box and all that was left was the protective wrapping that surround the iPhone that was taken along the route to my parents home in ********. They awarded me ****** no where near the value of what was stolen. When I shipped I was not asked what the declared value was I would have said the value not 100. I am so saddened that this was not damaged or broken but actually stolen I am emotionally impacted and feel violated as if someone came into my home and stole something. Ive been saving up for this phone for my Dad for over a year and for this to happen Is devastating. I really hope the full value of the phone can be issued otherwise it will be a total loss. FedEx has to be able to see where it was stolen the box was completely re-taped on the bottom of the box and no question the weight changed at the location of the theft. Really hoping this can be resolved more fairly.Business Response

Fedex lost my delivery worth over $****. It's been four months but so far I haven't received any compensation. I sent two packages to ****** on August 29, 2022, and paid a total of 156 euros for the courier. My tracking number is ************. One of the delivery boxes contained a worthless air fryer and the other box contained my lv bag and a lot of jewelry. However, only one package arrived the next day and the one with more than **** USD was missing. I waited for a month and contacted the ******* Fedex office staff, but their attitude was very cold and hung up on me. Then they told me that my package was lost by them. They asked me to fill out a complaint form and submit it. However, it's 2023 years later and I still haven't received any response. The package even had a lot of pictures of my dead grandfather in it and I wanted it back but I knew it was never going to come back again. I wrote a complaint about Fedex on bbb two months ago. a mediator from Fedex, *****, found me through bbb and promised to pay me the full amount. But after Christmas I couldn't contact him anymore, and I couldn't get through to his office number. My request is for Fedex: 1. find my lost courier (obviously this is impossible because it must have been stolen) 2. If my delivery was lost by Fedex, immediately compensate me for the loss On bbb this is the only way I can contact Fedex, I can't get through to any of the contact numbers shown on the Fedex page. Either an endless number of robots are talking to you, or the office staff will hang up on you with cold words after you have had a ten minute conversation with a robot. I hope Fedex can also improve this bad service attitude.Business Response
