      I shipped a package with FedEx on August 21, 2023. The box contained items that valued about $1,900 total. FedEx was supposed to ship my package from ******, ***** to ******, ******* and it was sent to a different address in Columbia and FedEx claimed my package as lost. It is clear that FedEx committed an error in sending the package to another distinct location. All the packages that arrive at that destination are normally packages directed to be sent to Columbia. I made a claim directly with FedEx and they only refunded me $218 and aside from that, they are charging me $40 for the shipping that never arrived to its final destination. The business in Columbia that received the package is now charging me $384 and they also want to charge me $400 to send it to ********* which is the anticipated destination. Tracking number is ************. Case number is C-*********.

      Your BBB Case #******** has been escalated to ******************** for review.

      Based off our records the payment of $218.47 was the correct payment on your claim due to their not being a higher value placed on the shipment at the time it was tendered to FedEx for shipping.  Our Terms and Conditions state if a shipment does not have a Declared Value at the time of shipping FedEx's liability payment will be limited to $100 plus the base freight.  FedEx is not liable for any additional fees that *** have been incurred with the shipment that were not billed/charged by FedEx. 

      On behalf of FedEx Management, I apologize for and assure you that this matter was taken seriously.  If you still have concerns, please contact me directly via my email address *************************************************.

      Thank you

      I've gotten the complete run around with FedEx. After multiple phone calls these past few weeks every representative that I spoke with said something completely different and acted as if they didn't want to at least do their job. There is a package tracking number ************. It shows a refusal on 9/11/23. Then again on 9/12/23, My door cam doesn't show a delivery attempt on that day. I was notified by the shipper about this shipment. I contacted fedex and was told that the shipment was returned to sender. I contacted the shipper, I reach back out to fedex to be told the package is currently sitting in undeliverable and has not returned to the shipper. that the shipper would have to reach out for redelivery. I made the shipper aware. I reach out again another day and was told they spoke with the shipper and they have the package being redelivered. I waited and no package. I contact fedex again to be told that I needed a account and to pick a delivery date. I provided all the info to get the package redelivered and offered to pickup the package. I was told I'll get a email with the new tracking in 48hrs never got it. I was told I couldn't pick it up from one person and that I could from another. When I called again to talk to a rep I was told the usual the package was returned, then put on hold. After explaining everything and getting no where i asked to speak to a supervisor. Supervisor tells me the package was returned to sender. I ask for the new tracking number to confirm it was returned he gives me this tracking ************ that has absolutely nothing to do with the package. This tracking that he gave me is someone else's tracking information that was delivered in ***********. My package was a international package. I've completely gotten nowhere. If the shipper called for redelivery I don't understand why is there a issue especially when I offer to pick it up.

      FedEx continues to deliver packages in the dirt at a sign leading to my house. I have complained to the local office in **********, ** who claimed to spoken to the drivers. It happened again, I filed a complaint with the BBB (#********). I was contacted by FedEx headquarter who assured me the drivers had been made aware that packages should be delivered to our house, not in the dirt.This is at least the 6th time this has happened. I would like the BBB to help me get an explanation from FedEx why they cannot instill in their drivers that packages should be delivered to the address, not the dirt. I would like the manager of the Burlington, ** FedEx to come to my house and explain what about my property makes it difficult for the drivers to continue up a driveway.

      FedEx delivered my package to a WRONG address. On 10-6-23, I checked tracking # ************, seeing that it showed as both delivered and signed for (by "CCUSTOMER"). But the package was NEITHER delivered to my house NOR signed for by anybody at my address. (Nobody at my address as ever signed for a package with "CCUSTOMER"). After clicking on "Missing Package," I entered my address. But FedEx showed "The address you entered does not match our records." I attempted to resolve this issue by phone. But, since my address did NOT match the delivery address, a FedEx recording told me "nothing could be done" before hanging up on me. Note that I did NOT request package forwarding. The package was NOT even supposed to be sent, since an **** seller told me the item (a 1.1 cu. ft. microwave) was "out of stock." He attempted to cancel the order. But cancellation failed. Also note that shipment facts shows that the mis-delivered package shows a weight of 5.1 pounds. But a 1.1 cu ft. microwave weighs around thirty (30) pounds. See attachment, including my receipt, which shows that I canceled my extended warranty after being told the microwave was "out of stock."

      Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with any details regarding this shipment because your name and address are not listed as either the shipper or the recipient on the shipping label.  If the shipping party provided you with this tracking number, you will need to contact them and advise them that this shipment does not belong to you.

      FedEx lied about attempted delivery. The truck was in the street in front of my home but the driver did not get out of the truck. I watched the truck pull away while standing at the front door and FedEx recorded it as attempted delivery. They lied.

      The package was ultimately delivered.   I stood in front of my home and made sure that the Fed Ex driver saw me the second time that they came so he actually stopped and delivered the package.  This does not remediate the issue where I wasted the previous day waiting for the delivery and I watched  the drive stopped in front of our home, he did not get out of the truck, and then the driver recorded a record to the delivery history that he attempted to deliver  package but I was not available.  This is a lie.  I was there. He did not attempt the delivery and I wasted the entire day waiting for him to deliver it.  He Lied.

      My son has worked for FedEx ground in Columbia and ********* ** for around a month without pay. His job is supposed to be weekly pay. Every week they give him a different excuse. System is down, direct deposit is not working. Latest they told him to go into Lexington office today to get a paper check. Once there, they said the check was in Columbia location. After a 30 minute drive, no one at the Columbia office knew what he was talking about. He and I have called the FedEx HR and payroll lines and they say they cant do anything and that he has to deal with the Lexington or Columbia offices and in circles he goes. This is totally unacceptable from a major corporation like FedEx. But corporate payroll doesnt seem to care nor do the locations where he worked. Please - at least get FedEx to pay my son what he has worked 4 weeks for. The job is an hour from his house and hes making this drive and wasting gas money to not get paid.

      On 2 Oct 2023 I ordered some cosmetics for my wife from ****** ****** and they were shipped via FedEx. I received email notifications on Oct 4th and 5th that my package was out for delivery but I did not receive it. Then on the 6th of Oct I received a delivery confirmation notice stating it was delivered to the front porch. When I checked the photo "confirmation" it was clearly not my porch. As the package was obviously delivered to the wrong house, I attempted to contact FedEx. Their automated assistant would not transfer me to a live person regardless of what information I provided. I tried online chat which instructed that I would have to call Customer service (which goes to the auto assistant). I tried contacting a local store which transferred me to the central customer service (again auto assistant). I then searched their website for how to report a lost package. It provided an article with instructions that you cannot follow because the options are not available from the tracking page as the article states. FedEx goes out of their way to not address customer complaints and the fact that they have any decent BBB rating is disturbing. They cannot accurately provide tracking, fail to deliver to the correct address and refuse to provide any semblance of customer service.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. 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. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation.
