      12/17/22 - We have been constantly receiving our packages delivered by FedEx that are left at the front of ********** as opposed to being put on the front porch. We have identified this issue to FedEx in the past and the packages are still being left at front of **********. ********** extends beyond our porch sight and subsequently our neighbors have being letting us know a package is in front of **********. If not for their honesty, the packages can be easily stolen and we would never know it was even delivered.

      Tracking # *************** Contents of this package were replacement parts for a previously received item that FedEx had damaged during transit (tracking # ************). On 12/16/22 - it's initial scheduled delivery date - tracking flagged this as delayed in ********, ** at 1:42 am, then on a truck out for delivery at 2:12 am. My address is in *********, ** an entire State, and seven-ish hour drive - away. My package remained out for delivery most of the day enduring God knows what kind of handling before being returned to the ******** facility. It arrived today absolutely destroyed. Even though there are no less than FOUR "Fragile ***************** stickers affixed, at some point it looks to have been folded nearly in half, there are numerous rips, tears and punctures/gouges throughout, it has been re-taped and is bowed. Needless to say, the contents are without question damaged. I have no idea if I will even be able to request from the retailer, a replacement to this replacement of merchandise previously damaged by FedEx. If I cannot, I am stuck with damaged goods and it would be entirely the fault of FedEx on BOTH occasions. As such, FedEx should cut me at least a $100.00 check for reimbursement and for punitive/exemplary damages based on the consistency of packages delivered damaged due to FedEx's negligent handling.The blatant unprofessionalism displayed by FedEx is unacceptable.

      I am rejecting this response because: I have contacted the shipper multiple times to obtain replacements to rectify the initial item damaged while in FedEx possession and each time one was sent, that replacement was delivered damaged - three times in total. The shipper is no longer willing to send replacements and reimbursement is no longer an option. Thanks to the gross incompetence and rank amateurism of FedEx as a whole, I am left with no ******** options to resolve this matter.

      FedEx as a corporation can collectively take their insincere, carbon copy apology and shove it.

      I had placed an order with ******* for a shipment that was supposed to be delivered to me around 12/12 originally. The package (tracking ID ************* got stuck in customs due to a paperwork issue and ended up being delayed by several days. No one contacted me about the issue from FedEx or Rakuten, so I have no idea if an attempt to contact ******* was made to expedite the process. I ended up having to fill out the paperwork myself and, by that point, the package was slated to arrive when I wouldnt be around to receive it. I couldnt sign up for the Delivery Manager to reroute it as the system doesnt recognize my shipping address even though its fully validated in the **** system. I asked FedEx to hold the package at a pickup center thinking that I could ask for an extension or redirect. Upon calling CS I was told that if I didnt pick it up in 5 days they would return to sender and there was nothing they could do stop it. They also told me that I could try the Delivery Manager but when I told them of the system issues they said that there wasnt anything they could do about it. ** really disappointed in FedEx. You market yourselves as providing service options to help make customers lives easier, but this whole debacle has shown me that your service doesnt deliver as promised. Im especially upset because in similar situations with your competitor **** promptly resolving these issues has never been a problem for me.Presently, my IT issue was escalated by CS to see if they can resolve the issue and Ive reached out to Rakuten for help (no reply yet) but I suspect that it will be too late to avoid my package being returned to sender or post forever. Aside from not getting my package, Im concerned that I wont be issued a refund on my orderif its returnedor the shipping.Had I known that FedEx would be so difficult and slow to work with, I wouldve selected regular post. If this is any indication of future service, I may avoid FedEx completely.

      I order priority for two day delivery with fedex in which took four days instead of two , i was contacted by fedex to schedule a delivery date and time for delivery. around afternoon time of the day of my delivery i was contacted again by a FedEx employee who stated that my delivery date has changed due to late truck and unable to unload the truck, and that she didnt know why someone had schedule a date with me i stated that I lost income from my place of employment to accommodate fedex delivery once. Further in the conversation I scheduled a pick up time of 6-8 pm. Which took me an hour drive to reach dock location. When I arrived ready to pick up a delivery freight, fedex employees told me I can only pay for shipment with a check. i explained no one told me about that policy , the next day i requested a price adjustment from fedex, inwhich i have been getting the run around from customer service , client relations and collections department. i have also have had calls from fedex freight location asking me when will i pick up my freigh which i explained i am disputing my invoice but they replied that they will not keep my freigh past dec 19, 7 days from my delievery day which came off to me as intimidation tactics. The level of no communication ,professionalism and empathy is unbelievable from a muli trillion dollar company. I will not pay $314.00 for this level of service. I need something done about this invoice.

      I paid approximately $600 to Saks Fifth Avenue on Dec 13 online. I purchased a pair of earrings. I received an email notification from Saks on Dec. 15 saying the package was delivered. I had submitted a request to FedEx on Dec. 14 requesting that the shipment be held at a nearby FedEx so that I could pick it up there. The package was also not supposed to be delivered without signature. When I called FedEx and Saks to ask them why I couldnt find the package at my residence or the requested pickup location, they couldnt track the package. They said the package had been signed for by HHKK, but I have no idea who that is. I have called Saks and FedEx multiple times, and keep getting the runaround. Saks just told me to wait until Monday to see if the package comes in. That is not sufficient.

      I had a very large package being delivered through FedEx. The company it was being shipped from had a set multiday-time frame that it would be delivered in, but was not able to assist with a scheduling a specific date. Once I received a tracking number with FedEx, I paid them a fee to have the package delivered on a specific date within a certain time frame. Once I paid for this, their tracking information never updated to reflect the new date online. Therefore, I called to confirm the correct delivery date.Then I had to call again every day after this due to the fact that regardless of their continued assurance that it would be delivered on the date I paid for, it never updated online.On the incorrect day that that the tracking information showed it would be delivered, I received a text saying it was out for delivery.Once again, I called FedEx and was assured they were getting in contact with the driver to make sure it would not be delivered that day. I was given a confirmation number as well.Even still, the package was delivered on that incorrect date.I called FedEx again to inform them and let them know that someone would need to go back and pick it up, as I was not even currently in the same state which is why I paid to have it delivered on a certain date. At first they put me on hold and then hung up on me. I had to call back again. Then they refused, and would not let me speak to a supervisor due to "peak season". Finally, they agreed to look into having someone go back to pick it up and hold it for delivery on the day that I paid for. They refused to provide me with any sort of written confirmation that this would be happening. I was given no way to track this pick up, or where my package would be going. Additionally, I was told no one would be contacting me after this to follow up on the issue, and if I wanted to receive an update I would have to once again call back myself.At this time I have received no further communication from FedEx.

      I ordered a play gym for my son from Lovevery.com. The order shipped out on 12/05 and arrived at this Fedex facility on 12/06. My order was to be delivered by Thursday 12/07. Everyday the package would leave the facility in the AM and be back at the facility by the evening. This is still going on, here is the tracking number, ************ . By Friday I became suspicious & started to investigate; the ****** reviews for this facility are horrible. They are intentionally losing and stealing packages at this location, and need to be investigated. I have never had this problem with Fedex so it is just this specific location. I physically drove to this location (which is only 20 mins from my house) to try and retrieve my package on 12/10. There is no reason why my package should not have been delivered already, and I am not the only person currently having this experience with this particular Fedex Ground location. To add insult to injury I have contacted Lovevery.com twice pertaining to this matter and received no response so I filed a dispute with my bank. Overall I just think this Fedex facility needs to be shut down and employees investigated and charged. Stealing and opening mail is a federal crime and they have beeb getting away with it for too long. Its holiday time and no one deserves to stress about packages they spent their hard earned money on.

      I am rejecting this response because: FedEx acknowledged they lost my package yet refuses to list on the tracking that they have lost the package and thus the shipper, my credit card company, and **** refuse to refund my money. FedEx is a terrible company and nobody should ever use them as they are very against the consumer and rarely deliver items to where they are meant to go.

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.
