Sent a shipment on 12/8. I was quoted around $60 for the cost of shipping. I spoke with a local store worker who confirmed that was the cost and said they would choose the appropriate box to ship the item. Later, I noticed that my credit card was charged $491 for the shipment. Another larger box was used without my knowledge. I tried to find a way to dispute the charge initially but could not get any information on how to discuss with FedEx. After a few attempts without any response, I contacted my credit card company and completed a chargeback for $401. I realize that there are fluctuations in shipping costs but a nearly 400% increase in cost without any acknowledgement is ridiculous. FedEx DENIED the chargeback and so AmEx charged and sent the remaining $401 to FedEx by charging my card. Last month, I received a collections invoice from FedEx for $401 past due. I called and emailed FedEx to explain that this charge was completed and that I had paid the entirety of the invoice in full. They REFUSE to acknowledge that it was paid in full and have sent me round and round between two support groups that will not actually read the details I am putting in my email. There is no one I can contact directly either. Even after my attempts to settle the issue and help them understand (with screenshots too) that they collected the amount ($401), I received an actual collections notice from a collections agency. To make matters even worse, the amount they are requesting is a completely different amount than FedEx is saying I owed ($457). Its clear that the issue is on FedExs accounts receivable and invoicing system but they refuse to admit it. This company who has already collected my $491 for the shipment is now trying to collect an additional $457 on top of that. This is fraudulent and the corporate support I am trying to talk to has completely stopped responding to my attempts to work this out.Customer Answer

I ordered a package on July 6th that was sent through FedEx on July 8th. It was originally meant to arrive on July 11, but was delayed to the 26th. However, they didn't update the tracking at all ever since it left their *********, ** location on the 12th. Today (26th) was the delivery date, but not only did they fail to track it at all, they failed to deliver it too. I have no idea where my package is, when it might get here, or if I may ever get it at all. I honestly don't care how late it is, I just want what I ordered.Business Response

On July 20, 2024, I scheduled a pickup service via the FedEx website (confirmation number CPU731942020). The pickup included three brown cartons from *********** one large and two medium, all labeled and addressed to the same destination.On July 23, 2024, the FedEx courier collected all three boxes from my residence. However, only two packages had their logistics information updated to "We have your package." The third box remained in the "Label Created" state, indicating it was not scanned by the courier, despite being taken.On July 24, 2024, I called FedEx customer service twice. The first call was unproductive as the staff informed me they could not contact the courier during his lunch break. During the second call, a case number was created, and further communication was conducted via email. I provided detailed information about the incident, including pictures of the box, pickup confirmation, and courier details.FedEx's responses were unsatisfactory:The initial reply stated there was no tracking data and requested information about the product value, content, color, quantity, and pictures.Despite my detailed explanation and evidence in the second email, FedEx replied by asking what was inside the missing box, suggesting it might not have had a label.( it had, and i told them many times)In my third email, I reiterated the details and answered their questions. While my other two boxes were delivered, FedEx ignored my request to investigate with the courier, instead asking if the items were new or old.In their final response, FedEx claimed the box was lost and instructed me to file for compensation, closing my case.I am deeply dissatisfied with FedEx's handling of this matter. The missing package contains items of significant personal value, representing my experiences and memories in this country. I am seeking assistance from the Better Business Bureau to resolve this issue.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Business Response

I had a package that was supposed to be delivered on 7/20/24 and was not. It reached a fedex hub in ********* and thats where it sits today 7/26/24. I contacted the seller and was told they couldnt do any thing because the package is being scanned through fedex but the package is not moving. I filed a claim for this shipment. Package was scanned everyday for 6 days at the same location until 7/26/24 when they closed my claim with no explanation until I called their customer service to be told that they now have conveniently lost my package and to contact the shipper as if they dont care about the customer.Business Response

I made arrangements for a tow assembly to be shipped from my daughters location in ******* ******* to a FedEx location here in ****************** where I am temporarily. I provided the FedEx location for delivery I.e. in care of multiple times. It was initially provided for the cost estimate for shipment and for the actual shipment and self by my daughter and son-in-law. When it arrived here in ******************, it was refused at the delivery location. When I contacted FedEx, multiple times they said that it couldnt be delivered there because it was a express location and had to be delivered to location. The first ***** I talked to was almost completely not understandable due to a heavy accent and she told me that basically she could not confirm the ground location for pick up. I called immediately thereafter and talked to an age and I could understand who inform me that it could be picked up at the route 2000 address and I could pick it up either after 6 PM or after 8 AM the following morning. When I arrived at the pick up location I was told by FedEx that it was in shipment back to the shipping location. I subsequently had probably 5 to 6 phone calls with FedEx who basically completely blew me off with respect to the local pick up and suggested finally that my only recourse was to have it shipped again with no recovery of the original $180 of shipping costs. when I asked repeatedly why I was told that I could do local pick up and that wasnt done all I got was a bunch of BS from the FedEx **** who could barely speak English. I am extremely upset about this. In the past when I had delivery to a FedEx location that couldnt accept ground, FedEx always made arrangements for delivery at a local ground depot. Im on the road all the time and cant figure out what locations or cannot get ground DeliveryBusiness Response

I ordered a phone from ******* that was shipped 2 day FedEx on July 22 it is now July 26 and I still do not have the package. I have previously filed a complaint about the driver and believe she is holding my package on purpose and not delivering it. It is a delivery that must be signed for so I have had to take off work the last 3 days to sit and wait for delivery that never comes. When I call FedEx they give me the runaround promising that I will get my package the next day and I never get it.Business Response

Awful company and lets be real since no stars a can be awarded that rating should be sub 1. Fedex has a 5% successful delivery ratio to me without problems but this one takes the cake. I shipped out parts from a seller which needed to to be split into 3 orders due to inventory issues. 2 came with Canada Post and one with Fedex. First 2 packages came with no issue. Fedex fails to deliver because for some reason they think my address doesn't exist. I call them and their support agent immediately tried to dismiss me saying they cannot change the address and before they try to end the call I tell them what my address is and they go silent realizing they have correct address and that they're just incompetent. After verifying my address I am promised a next day delivery with their usual but awful time window. Lo and behold I load up the tracking information to learn once again my package has been delayed due to an address issue. So I call again and re verify my address again and I'm once again promised a next day delivery. Next day passes and once again my package doesn't even leave the warehouse. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited 24 hours and lo and behold once again their automated system states the address is incorrect. Once again I call and confirm again and get the same nonsense. I escalate to management who says their double guaranteed next day delivery from has been delayed and keeps getting flagged because they use an awful system for the incorrect address which doesn't seem right. This complaint isn't about the lateness, this is about the absolute incompetence and multiple failed attempts at customer service this company has provided. You would think if a customer calls and complains not once but twice about an error on your end you would attempt to remedy that problem in a timely manner. I hope I never have the displeasure of dealing with this company again.Customer Answer

A package was dropped off for delivery July 22, 2024 at 3:54 PM at the FedEx location with the address of *****************************************************************************************. I personally went back to the store on Wednesday 7/24, (a day after the scheduled delivery date) to speak with the manager about the location of the package. ******* was very helpful. She looked throughout the store before going into her office to review the security CCTV footage. She returned to the front desk and told me that she saw the package getting picked up by a FedEx driver during the usual pickup time, even though the FedEx tracking system does not reflect that. I was advised to call the main customer service line the following business day. When I followed up with FedEx customer service, I was informed that the package should be on its way to the **************, ** sorting facility in 2 5 business days, even though the drop off receipt had a scheduled delivery date of 7/23/24. Now here we are, at the end of the business week, with the same update in the system as the very first day I dropped the package off for delivery. Considering our recipient paid over $100 dollars to have the package arrive on 7/23, its highly unprofessional and quite absurd that the package is still unaccounted for at the end of the business week. Especially since its an intrastate shipment and a 50 pound, 34 x 22 x 16 box is extremely difficult to slip through the cracks of any truck or sorting facility. The worst part about this predicament is the nature of the shipment is time-sensitive, which adds to the insult of how FedEx has handled this shipment. I would be very understanding if there was a delivery exception, because we know there are situations in which the circumstances cannot be controlled. However, even with those situations, we would be notified about the exception in the tracking system.Business Response
