      Package was never delivered to Ruby ** 99768-01105. Contacted FedEx multiple times only to have them say it was delivered and signed for. Driver left it in ********* **. Finally spoke with a supervisor who promised that package would be shipped to Ruby and he would email me with confirmation. That never happened.

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


      Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with any details regarding this shipment, because your name and address are not listed as either the shipper or the recipient on the shipping label. If the shipping party provided you with this tracking number, you will need to contact them and advise them that this shipment does not belong to you and to provide you with the correct tracking number.


      I hope that this information is helpful.

      FedEx uses deceptive practices. We stayed home for the duration of our delivery window. Our package never arrived. We remained home through the evening, sitting in our living room by our front door. We also have a camera. FedEx was never here to attempt delivery, but they falsely claimed they were at 8:09pm. Both my husband and I will attest to be home and in the living room.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and I accept their proposed resolution.

      I hope they truly escalate this concern because in addition to fraudulent claims of delivery attempts, their proof of delivery (attached) is not our home AND does not even show the packages. As a business, they need to do better.

      FedEx delivered my package to the wrong address. Not only my was the picture proof of delivery absolutely horrendous, but my shoes were stolen to boot. I ended up finding out where they had left my package with the very crappy picture I was sent and when I confronted the housing unit, only one person answered. She said she had put the packages in the mud room of the unit and when I arrived later, they were gone. So one of the units was lying and I even had the police come to investigate. Nothing came of it and my kicks were long gone. I filed 2 claims and no one got back to me over the course of 48 hours, so I decided to call FedEx directly. When I did, they ultimately said there was nothing that I could do but file a shipping claim with the shipper. So they made their problem **** and my problem. They did absolutely nothing for me but fudge up my shipment and blame it on everyone else when I tried holding them accountable. Theyre an absolutely horrendous company that doesnt give a s*** about the people who make them possible. I will NEVER use FedEx as a carrier ever again. I suggest you all do the same.

      I have had 5 packages that were supposed to be delivered by Fedex. On all 5 occasions I have heard the excuse of "the location does not exist" or they delivered to the wrong address. Even after my numerous calls to FedEx explaining to not use ****** maps and look with their eyes to see a huge apartment building. They have lost a package worth $200 and have yet to return my call. Today I got another package that they still delivered to the wrong address. Let me be clear when I say it is only FedEx that does this, ********** and amazon have no problem delivering my packages. Now with my $200 package missing I'm livid. Nobody calls back. I demand to have a solution. I've told this company 5 different times that the huge apartment building is the correct address and they have purposely avoided the building and misplacing my packages

      FedEx tracking ************. Terrible black male driver ignores driveway and uses my grass just 3 feet from the driveway. Driver arrived and chose to walk on grass instead of driveway... *********** was corner of grass and driveway. This is an intentional and conscious choice to use my lawn instead of the provided driveway. Shipment was a fragile business model. Driver so lazy would not even bend over to drop package. Left it blocking porch instead of hidden from street. Opened my door and asked him several times to "please don't walk in my grass" video and audio recorded for use later. ****** backed toward driveway but when he saw me turn he just continued in my grass to his truck instead of listening to my request. But that's not all. Five minutes later, after leaving my home, driver returns to agitate me. Comes back to my house; uses my driveway to turn his delivery truck around; backs up to the front of my lawn; gets out of truck and uses the frontage of my grass to walk to the back of his truck where he stops for about 10 seconds; then returns to his truck, again using the frontage of my grass and walking on my dying grass as a result of behavior just like this; and then drives south into the community, leaving a few minutes later. I literally have two culdesacs directly across my my home that he could use to turn around in easily. Why did he choose to pull his entire truck into my driveway when there are huge turnarounds just north of me and just south of me not ************************************************************************************ MY LAWN TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE HE LEFT.

      FedEx again refuses to respond to the complaint.  Many details were listed in the complaint.  If you read their response they don't acknowledge any of the details and they do nothing to curb the driver behavior on our private property.

      Was expecting an important document from a new job. I tried to add delivery instructions via online and phone but the system was down, and support said they don't do that.The call support has little control over what they can help or actually do and will make up protocol and policies that management will then say don't exist.

      FedEx Delivery Driver continues to refuse to delivery packages to the Tenant's Door. I have filed numerous complaints and created multiple Case numbers. (I attached in a screen shot) . This started when this new driver acquired this route back in Early 2024. We have always had FedEx deliver to our doors in the past as do thew rest of the courier services ***** Amazon) They all deliver to the tenants door but in early 2024 this driver for FedEx started leaving packages in the leasing Building in a non designated location that was never set up for packages to be left. I'm disabled with a bad knee and live on the 3rd fl of my apartment building (2 flights of stairs) and cannot "lug" packages up the stairs when the delivery driver is suppose to do that as part of his job. I have a contact with the Station Manager in *******, ** and have complained numerous time as well as filed complaints but the driver isn't getting the message. The contact I have at the *********** in *******, ** is ***** (Operation's Mgr) ************. I have a number of deliveries that are very heavy and I cannot carry them up two flights of stairs. This is the job of the driver from FedEx. My delivery instructions explicitly state to NOT deliver to leasing office but to deliver to my front door in my building. It's also on the label of the package from the online retailer. The only way I am able to fix this is to open a case number before the package gets delivered so that the driver is told about it but this shouldn't have to be the case every time I order from an online vendor who uses FedEx as their point of delivery service. I have watched the driver when he comes to our complex and watch him bring all the packages into a building that was never designed to leave packages except for Amazon as there are amazon lockers for their packages only. This practice needs to stop as this gives me anxiety every time I order items from places that use FedEx.

      The Fedex driver for my area continuously misdelivers my packages and Fedex refuses to assist me or hold the driver accountable. The first agent I spoke with today mocked me and refused to allow me to speak to a Supervisor. I am in another state dealing with the death of my Step Father and have no way of tracking my package down. I have filed complaints with Fedex previously and nothing happens as a result of it. Yesterday, my daughters back to school clothes were misdelivered.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    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.
