The replacement that was sent out for the missing package in my last complaint was delivered to the wrong address. This delivery issue has not been solved. I am beyond frustrated that I am unable to have packages properly delivered to my home and that there is not another option companies can use to ship packages to customers. When I called, I was told to drive around the neighborhood and look for my package that was not delivered properly. This is not an acceptable request for a business to make, whose sole purpose is delivering packages. Drivers should be able to read maps efficiently. The local FedEx distribution office wrote out detailed instructions on how to find my house (which is clearly marked and not difficult to find) along with a house description to help the driver. The driver is still unable to deliver packages correctly. This has been an ongoing issue with FedEx in my area and in the 12 months I have lived at this address, I have not once gotten a package delivered correctly. This needs to change. I do not have this issue with ************ or **** deliveries.Business Response

I placed a large order from a store that originally had this package being transported through DHL. Somehow in the midst of the transportation, it was transferred to FedEx. Myself and the store only have the tracking number for DHL. I received a phone call from a man named ***** with FedEx stating that my package had an attempted delivery to an address in *************, **. I live in ********, **. He was calling to ask for my correct mailing address. In the middle of him leaving a voicemail with the tracking number, the call cut out. I only received the first 4 numbers. I called FedEx customer service to explain what happened in hopes that someone could help me and put my correct address into the system so that I could receive this package before Christmas as it is my sons Christmas gifts, $600 worth of items. The man that I spoke to was extremely rude and refused to assist me because I could not provide the full tracking number. I asked if I could be transferred to ***** who originally called me and he told me no. I asked to speak to his manager and he told me no and that no one could assist me. I am desperately needing that package and FedEx is refusing to help me in any way.Customer Answer

Hi, My package was originally being sent via ***. Somehow, FedEx intercepted my package and failed to notify me or provide me with a tracking number. I contacted the merchant who I purchased from and they stated that FedEx was never assigned the delivery and that it was assigned to *** and they do not understand how FedEx has the package in their possession. When I called FedEx, they will not even speak to me without the tracking number, but the problem is, I only have the *** tracking number as FedEx never issued one to me. The gentleman that left me a voicemail from FedEx today stated that I would need to call customer service to give them my correct address, but customer service will not even speak to me on the matter. At this point, they have stolen my package and are holding it hostage. No one is willing to take the time to use common sense or listen to my plea. This package is needed for Christmas for my son. It is very important. I have made sure that my address is correct on my FedEx profile, but they will not even assist me when I give them my profile information. Thank youCustomer Answer

Per our discussion,the shipping label used was billed to a 3rd party merchant. That payers account has restrictions limit who can authorize a change to the shipping information. The shipper only authorizes specific individuals at their company to make such changes. We regret any inconvenience you experienced as a result of this situation.

Our records indicate delivery at 1:34 p.m. on December 21, 2023. Thank you for your patience as we worked for a resolution at the destination.Respectfully,

On December 14, 2023 at approximately **** I received a deliver from FedEx Ground and simultaneously received notice from 2 separate witnesses indicating the FedEx driver struck and damaged our gate control post at the entrance of our driveway. i attempted to make contact with the driver but he was already departing our driveway. I immediate went to the end of the drive to assess the damage and capture photographs. I then contacted FedEx to file a claim but was ultimately denied based on a reported review of the ***** I then requested to review the footage and was denied such access. The lack of transparency with this piece of evidence has caused me to question its validity and pursue the matter further. Ultimately, the damage is minor, but I do believe in transparency and accountability. As such, I would like to request further dialogue with FedEx, and ideally be given the opportunity for myself or an unbiased party to review the footage, prior to pursuing the matter further. Audio recording of the witness account and photographs, with associated metadata, are available to confirm the timeline and damage association to the delivery time. Unfortunately, they could not be uploaded to the report due to size restrictions. FedEx case C-********* Ref-***** for tracking number ************ for reference.Business Response

Complaint: 21025657
I am rejecting this response because:no resolution has been met as of this response, and the latest claim status indicated denied based on a determination of no fault/no accident occurred.
This noted, the claim status is in direct contradiction to the FedEx account of their internal review. As Noted in the FedEx communication, the internal review resulted in a determination that the driver did sideswipe my gate control post, which was deemed a preventable accident. While this admission/confirmation of the **** footage is a positive step, the FedEx representative assigned to handle the claim has been unresponsive and has not retracted their claim denial.
As resolution, I would request FedEx retract the claim denial and process based on the information relayed during our phone call. Additionally, I would request FedEx review the reason for my claim denial and assess for misconduct/unethical behavior on the part of the adjudicator.

A company sent me a package via FedEX (this will be the last time). Apparently, it was delivered to a Fort ***, **********. Fort *** ********** is a big place. Every time I call I get an automated message that disconnects me (it is like FedEx doesn't want people to like them). I have attempted to resolve this on the phone and via chatbot. If FedEx doesn't care about doing its job, it should say that. i don't know the exact address a company from ***** entered in for delivery, but that shouldn't impede me from finding out where it is. That should also not impede me from talking to a human being. Please locate my package and don't tell me it was delivered somewhere on a large military base.

I purchased an "Angled Side Insert" and "Seat Insert" from LoveSac, and FedEx is the carrier. The offer a service called a vacation hold, where they won't deliver a package if you're not home. My order with tracking numbers ************ and ************ were scheduled for delivery while I was on vacation so I used the Vacation Manager feature on the app to schedule a hold from 12/9 to 12/17. To nobody's surprise, it didn't work and FedEx attempted to deliver my package three times while I was away. I had to fight with customer service to get them to apply the hold. When I got back home, I removed the hold. To nobody's surprise AGAIN, it didn't work. I called the morning of 12/18 to have them manually remove the hold. They confirmed that I'd get my package 12/19. I called in the afternoon to confirm this since all I got was a vague promise on the phone only to be told the package was lost. This is my last step before taking FedEx to small claims court for the full value of the package plus time wasted pulling teeth to get a package from a courier. Deliver the package IMMEDIATELY. This is the second of two times I've ordered from Lovesac that I've had to waste hours asking a delivery service to deliver a package. Gross.Business Response

The date is 12-4-23. FedEx said they delivered my order which was purchased from ***** I received a text which said it was delivered to my house and I immediately went to get it and it was not there. They sent a picture of the package but there was no picture **** my porch. I did not receive the package, it was not shipped to my address. I filed a complaint with **** and PayPal but they said it was delivered but it wasn't. I filed a complaint with FedEx and attached it for your examination and they also denied my claim. The amount is small $16.76, but it is the pathetic FedEx attitude that I am discussed up with.

I contacted the shipper, **** and they said "The package was delivered." I am not going to take this any further. FedEx did not deliver the package to my house. For me to go back to **** over $16 is ridiculous. It just shows you what FedEx is all about...they push their pathetic nonservice deliveries problem as far away from their responsibility as they can...back to the shipper, when I am the person who paid for the shipping. If you let them get away with this, your as irresponsible as they are. Go online and see how many non-deliveries they have made and the numerous complaints. They don't want to admit their incompetence.
