FedEx was scheduled to deliver a package to me. I didn't expect any issues, because my regular driver does an excellent job, and I haven't had any problems with them, since he has been on my route. Well this day, I did not have my regular driver. The tracking marked the package as delivered, and a photo of the package was on the tracking. The driver said the package was delivered to my front door, but the photo does not show my front door. It appears the package was place in a pile of trash! I will attach it. I called FedEx to complain, and let them know I did not get the package, and that pic was not my property. I suggested they look at pics from my regular driver to see what my porch looks like. I am a senior, disabled woman, and all of my packages are to be placed on my front porch. They started a case on the package to attempt to find it, and I heard back from them, today. They claim the package could not be delivered, because my house was surrounded with garbage, and they suggested I arrange to pick up the package from FedEx. All lies! My house is NOT surrounded by trash. There is NO TRASH, and that package cannot be picked up, because it was left in what looks like trash. FedEx does not have it! I am not concerned about that package at this point. I contacted *******, and they refunded my money. ******* can deal with them. What I AM concerned about is future deliveries from FedEx! I have been through this with them before, many times, before I got ******* as my regular driver. I don't know if he is just on vacation, I hope that is the case, but I want to be sure if I do not get him back, that I do get a good, honest driver who always follows instructions! I included 2 pics. The one from this complaint, in garbage, and one taken by *******, my regular driver, after he properly delivered a package. You can see there is no trash surrounding my house.Business Response

Transaction Date was Monday, June 30th 2025 Amount of Transaction was $296.47 I placed an order for a pair of Headphones via **** The package noted it was delivered on July 3rd, 2025 The package was stolen as Fedex delivered it to an unsecured location in my apartment building. I followed all procedures to file a claim with them. They then admitted that they sent the wrong driver on this day who doesn't have access to my building. They then closed my claim case and told me to contact the Shipper to have them file a claim. The shipper wont do that because they have never had success filing claims with Fedex. Ive tried working with Fedex many times to get this solved and they just wont help at all. I also contacted my credit card company to do a charge dispute but they told me they cant do that in this situation. This is my last resort to place it into your hands. This is $300 I worked hard for and I am just absolutely impressed with how unaccountable a company like Fedex is being on this.Business Response

I ordered through a company that uses fedex as their delivery service and paid $179 for shipping, the item was supposed to be here July 10th, a driver came but did not have the item on his truck, I waited till the next day (July 11th), a driver pulled up to my mailbox, was there for a minute and then drove away without trying to deliver my package, even though I had a family member on the porch waiting for them to pull in by the gate. I called minutes later the main phone number for fedex and they said sorry, you'll have to wait till the 14th now. On June 14th I was on my porch and the driver sped past my house. I called a few minutes later and they said it should be there by 8pm. On June 15th he never came through at all. I called again and they said we'll see what's going on and make sure it's delivered tonight. Today(July 16th) it doesn't say it's coming anymore, just says we'll update you when it moves. When I had mentioned about a partial refund for the shipping considering the driver is purposely doing this now, they said I'd have to get it from the company I ordered from even though they are the ones who got the money for shipping. I now would like a full refund for shipping along with my package.Customer Answer

I placed an order for a pet medication on ************ and had to pay for 2 Day Express shipping with FedEx which Hardy Paw charged me $37 for. ***** Paw said that it would hopefully arrive on Saturday 7/12, but at the very latest, on Monday. It did not arrive on Saturday or Monday. On Monday, FedEx said that the order was delayed and would arrive on Tuesday between 5 and 8 PM, and then on Tuesday, they said the order was delayed and would arrive on Wednesday between 5 and 8 PM, which it did 7/16, but that is not 2 Day Express shipping. This was for my dogs medication that if he doesnt have can cause deafness, and it must be refrigerated or on ice at all times, but once it arrived so many days late, the ice packs were at room temperature which was 71, and the expensive medication had to be thrown out. Now Ill have to buy a second time, this time from my vet and bypass the nightmare that FedEx is. When I called their customer service the first time, somebody picked up right away and asked for my first and last name, and then it just went silent, and I kept saying, Are you still there? I cant hear you at all. This went on for over 3 minutes. Eventually I said, Im gonna hang up and call you back, but also heres my phone number, so please call me back if I cant get a hold of you. I hung up and immediately dialed back and was on hold for 32 minutes before I gave up.Then to make the experience even richer, I went online to file a claim, and FedEx requires you to create an account, which for some reason you need to enter your credit card information just to create the account even if youre not paying for any service, and then when I clicked to file a claimmultiple timesthe page just read System Error. Complete lies about their shipping times and nonexistent customer service. They are crooks who could care less that their highly delayed shipping times could cause irreversible and permanent damage in my dog.Customer Answer

I made a purchase of a bed from ******* ( which uses FedEx). After 2 weeks of repeated texts by FedEx that the bed was coming, but would never show up. So when I called to cancel the order, ******* said they couldnt because I had a delivery date. Each day the tracking said it was out for delivery and Tazar was my driver. 13 consecutive days no bed. Finally I got a refund because nobody could tell me where my merchandise even was. And of course after I canceled the order, then instead of routing it back to the company like FedEx was supposed to, they tried to deliver it to my residence. ( January 2025). I recently purchased a swing from **********, who uses FedEx. Same thing happened. Each day I would get an update text that it was coming, only followed by another that it was now coming the next day. After the 6th day a FedEx truck showed up to deliver, except there was no swing even on his truck. So once again I called and got a refund. The order was cancelled and supposed to return to sender. But FedEx delivered it to my house anyway. Nobody will contact me as to when it will be picked up. So I have this enormous box taking up space in my garage. In my opinion, FedEx uses underhanded business tactics with their customers. The *********, Ohio terminal is who is responsible. I wanted to report this to make the BBB and consumers aware.Business Response

A FedEx package was shipped on 7/11/25 with tracking number ************. It was shipped 2-day delivery, so the expected delivery date was 7/15/25.On 7/15/25, I received a tracking update that the package was out for delivery and estimated to be delivered between 10:30am and 2:30pm. I was able to click a link that showed a delivery map that said that the FedEx Driver ******** (I think was the name) was on his way. I kept refreshing the map all day, watching him drive around my area and right past my area. Then at almost 3pm, I received a tracking update that was a delivery exception that said that the package had attempted to be delivered but that "Customer not available or business closed". This was a complete lie. The driver took a picture of a doortag (attached) that wasn't even left behind - it was something that he took from his van on his seat. He never attempted to deliver the package. The building was open, the elevator was operational, and we had employees in the office the whole time, including myself. I called FedEx support immediately and asked that they attempt to redeliver the package as it was a lie that the driver had tried to deliver it. They said they would contact the station dispatch manager to reach out to the driver and I should expect an email or call back. Then at 3:26pm, I get another tracking update saying that the package was delivered. The insane thing though was that it said it was delivered on 7/10/25 at 4:30pm. Mind you, the package was shipped on 7/11/25 and was out for delivery on 7/15/25. I called FedEx support back again and ultimately they said the driver mis-scanned the package or it was a glitch and that it would be attempted to be redelivered the next day 7/16/******** is now 7/16/25 and I have called FedEx support, I have chatted with FedEx Support on X, and no one can tell me where my package is or how can I get my hands on ***** is an important letter (in FedEx Letter envelope) and all I want is to get it deliveredCustomer Answer
