      On Friday, June 28, 2024 I sent a package with Fed Ex via Priority Overnight. Guaranteed delivery was Monday, July 1 by 5:00pm. At approximately4:30 pm July 1, I called Fed Ex to ask about the delivery as theirtracking showed the package still in *******. Speaking with a Fed Exrepresentative, I was told that the package would be delayed and not arrive for another few days. I was also told by the Fed Ex representative that since it was a Priority Overnight package, it would be an AUTOMATIC FULL REFUND. I said I wanted the refund. I was given NO other instructions on how toproceed with the refund. I patiently waited (NEVER AGAIN). Finally on July 16 I called to inquire about the status of my refund. I was told that I never requested/submitted for a refund. I was also told that since 15 days had elapsed that any refund request would be denied! I explained what I was told via phone conversation with Fed Ex on July 1, to noavail. I then said that July 16 was 15 days from the scheduled delivery date and I was still within the window. I was told the timing begins from when the package was sent. I asked how was I supposed to know that the package would be late on June 28? No answer. Getting nowhere, I asked to speak to a supervisor/manager. I was placed on a brief hold. The Fed Ex representative returned and told me that a manager wouldn't be able to do anything differently and HUNG UP! Not sure what I am more upset about: 1) being told on the phone that Priority Overnight is an AUTOMATIC full refund, 2) request for a refund from Fed Exis hidden and buried deeply within their website, 3) there is NO mention, that I could find, of a ************************************* 4) being ********************* up on by Fed Ex. I feel that I was flat out LIED to by Fed Ex.

      FedEx was suppose to deliver my package on 7/11/2024. 2 packages were suppose to be delivered, which were True Religion and Lacoste. I paid for these items with 2 different cards. I spent almost $173 on the True Religion Package and almost $42 on the Lacoste package. FedEx said they would investigate, but I do not believe they did. I have yet to get my money returned for the true religion package. Also, the driver provided a picture, but that was not my door. I have a burgundy door, the driver took a picture of a green door. I have attached photos.

      I ordered a package with ***** on June 29 2024. ***** used FedEx as the shipping company. Fedex sent out an email stating that the package was successfully delivered but FedEx actually delivered the package to a different address. I submitted a claim for my package not being delivering the correct address. They submitted an investigation stating that the driver tried to retrieve the package but they were not able to find it, But they never changed the status of the delivery. The status on the website still states package successfully delivered. ***** will not refund me since FedEx websites still states that the package was successfully delivered. The two companies keep telling me to contact the other company instead of them contacting each other. I am just one person trying to go back and forth between 2 large corporations. I feel like I exhausted all my options and there is not much else that I can do.

      Complaint: 22007375

      I am rejecting this response because:

      this does not resolve the problem at hand. FedEx did an internal investigation and admitted that the deliverer dropped the package off at the wrong house and was unable to retrieve the package. On the official website, it still says the package has been delivered successful even though it has not been. I contacted the original shipper (*****) who is telling me that they cannot send a refund because fedex website says that the package was delivered and ***** is telling me to contact FedEx. There is nothing I can do as a customer of both parties since they keep telling me to go back to the other party. I would like FedEx to change the status of the delivery to correctly reflect the package as undelivered or delivered to the wrong address

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I already contacted the shipper and they said that because your website is saying that the package was successfully delivered they will not send a refund. You were also in business with the company ***** and you as a company are lying with the claim that the package was successfully delivered to my address when after investigation said it was not and that the delivery driver was unable to retrieve the package. Why wasnt the status changed to reflect the truth? Both businesses know what youre doing. You guys are sending me back and forth when you can directly contact them or change the status on your site to correctly reflect the truth so I can get a refund.

      Sincerely,

      The first time I decided to use **** as my platform to sell and I quickly sold a vintage cameo ring with filagree that flips to reveal an onyx. It was from 1930/40's and worth anywhere from ********* bucks and maybe more. Well FedEx lost my package. It was picked up on June 24th at 618 pm and arrived in *******, ********* at the hub on 6/25 at 722am. I filed a claim for 1210$ case #c-154167005. They have only contacted me to advise me my claim is delayed. When I was able to get someone in the claims department, he was condescending and when I asked him politely not to do that, he said not to disrespect him (by asking him not to speak to me on that manner), I the requested him to escalate my call to which he declined then I asked for his name and he hung up on me. Now I've had to refund the buyer on **** so I'm in the negative 80 after the fees **** charged and the shipping. My reputation is tarnished as a reliable seller and my integrity is in question. And I either want my ring back or the money it's worth.

      Complaint: 22007073

      I am rejecting this response because: as a multimillion dollar business, the forced settlement of $300 for an heirloom with a value 6x more than that is offensive. Leaning on the "declared value" policy when 1- it was my first shipment with fedex,  2- I wasn't properly informed Abt it through ANY parties involved with the shipment and 3 - the loss of the package and subsequent slow speed of the "investigation" led to my insurance lapsing then the suspension of my license and registration which will cost me nearly $600 to rectify and that's not including the time I've spent having to contact FedEx (and was even hung up on by a member of FedEx claims) to correct the situation. And to top it all off, I had to still pay shipping fees out of the payout received. Horrible business ethics, claims process and customer service. To say Ive cried over the actions from FedEx is an understatement. I am NOT satisfied with fedex and I share my experience DAILY in hopes of tarnishing the reputation as is deserved.

      Sincerely,

      ******* *******

      Dear Valued Customer,

      On behalf of FedEx, please accept my apology for your experience.  Our record indicate when this shipment was tender to FedEx there was not a declared value.  Declared value is coverage for loss or damages.  Under the terms and conditions governing this shipment FedEx liability on any shipment is limited to $100 if declared value is not requested and paid for that the time of shipment regardless of value.  The shipper did not request or pay for coverage, therefore our liability is limited to $100. 

      A claim was paid on 06/03/2024 for $100 and second payment the amount of $300 was issued gesture of goodwill on 07/30/2024.  Both checks has cleared our bank.  This makes a total settlement of $400.  This settlement was an exception to our terms of carriage for declared value.  Although, we understand your desire for additional compensation the request is denied. FedEx will not consider any additional compensation.  We hope you understand our position in this matter.

      Sincerely,

      FedEx

      This Fedex Station has a history of not delivering large or heavy packages. This is the third time in as many years that I've had a large package go to this station and then dissappear for 2 or 3 weeks before I'm able to raise enough of a fuss to force delivery. This time I literally caught the driver at the end of my driver and he told me he "didn't want to unload my package because it was too much work"
