      Dear ************,

      This is in response to your inquiry addressed to the Better Business Bureau. 

      The appropriate management has been notified of your concerns regarding the 

      tracking number 611346380076.  Our records indicate a proof of delivery on 

      November 7, 2022, at 3:06 p.m., and since it is approximately a month since

      delivery we would not have any additional information so the shipper should

      be contacted.  We call you on November 7, 2022, and left a voice message,

      however there appeared to be an issue with phone line.

      Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience you have encountered.

      We value the trust our customers place in us, and we look forward to serving you

      more satisfactorily in the future.  

      Respectfully,  
      FedEx

      I am rejecting this response because:
      You didnt call me or left a voice message on November 7, 2022. The package signature service was not requested. FedEx delivery guys never call without signature service.

      The shoes are limited quantity and reselling online for more than their retail price. **** was out of stock and can only refund, it is not fair. I don't want a refund, I just want my shoes. Please investigate the delivery guys and don't let this happen again.
      Sincerely,

      I have a package that was supposed to be delivered on Dec 1. They just keep lying stating weather delay, but there have been no weather events. Now they say package delivery date pending. And I have spoken to their "customer service" 3 times. They just keep promising it will be delivered the next day. State they escalated my case to a trace agent. That trace agent calls and just says she hopes my package will arrive by Dec 7th. This is my dogs prescription dog food for kidney issues. I can't just keep waiting for it. It can't be bought in any store, it has to be ordered. They have been absolutely no help. State the package isn't lost, but can't tell me where it is or when it will arrive.

      On nov 22, 2022, I placed a order from rockauto.com, and was emailed when it shipped via fedex #************, i was told it would be here on the 23rd of nov. I finnally received notification on nov 27, that my package was delivered. I was home the entire day, fedex, NEVER came to my home, nor delivered it to me. Upon looking at the tracking information and the photo that was taken, it was NOT delivered to my house, but somewhere else, the photo shows wooden steps with a handrail, I have concrete steps, with NO handrail. I spoke with customer service, and they stated, they would retrieve the incorrectly delivered package and have it to me in 2 business days. So I waited, the 2 days came and went, so I called again, and was told they would call me right back..so i waited quite a while, and finally a voicemail was left for me, saying they "received no response from the unit" and for me to contact rock auto (Which I have). So today is dec 4th, and I still have **NOT** received my package.SInce I was clearly told I would get my package, and the fact I have NOT ever received the package I ordered, I will need fedex to find my package, and get it to me ASAP (no later than tuesday dec 6, 2022), I feel this is fair since I was told 2 business days to get my package. So that gives fedex 2 business days as I was told.I will accept **NO** other response other than is what is stated above (my package being delivered to me by dec 6, 2022)The photo attached is the photo from fedex's tracking, this is NOT my house, nor my steps.

      Complaint: 18523091

      I am rejecting this response because:

       

      Why should I have to contact the shipper, when your company is the ones who delivered it to someone elses house. I was told CLEARLY when I called the first time, that my package would be retrieved from the incorrect delivery location, and brought to me within 2 business days, this never happened. I do NOT appreciate being lied to.

       

      I would also note, another shipment arrived today, and the driver attempted to deliver my package to ANOTHER address, before I asked him what address he was trying to find. He drove to my mailbox, which is CLEARLY labeled with my address, then drove further south to my neighbor and started to deliver MY package to their address, and again, the neighbors mailbox is CLEARLY labeled with the address.

      It is obvious that fedex does NOT deliver packages to the correct address as today yet again proved.

      I was told TWO BUSINESS days and you would retrieve my package and deliver it to me, but you have NOT done so, so I reject your respnse completely, since it's now been over a WEEK.

      How about your drivers reading the addresses marked on mailboxes, and do their job correctly.

      YOU WILL CONTACT THE "SHIPPER" AND GET MY PACKAGE DELIVERED TO ME AS YOU SAID YOU WOULD.

      On November 2, I purchased a Steam Deck game console from Valve's steam. The package was shipped by FedEx, but it was lost by FedEx on the way to the destination address. I haven't received the package yet. FedEx insisted that they sent the package to the correct address, rejected my claim, and claimed that valve company must cooperate with me to file a claim with them. But the fact is that my package has completely disappeared, and even the signee on the waybill is not my forwarding warehouse, how can FedEx say it was delivered to the correct address? My package is worth $399 and since valve refuses to cooperate with this, I would like direct compensation from FedEx.

      Hello, I made a purchase on amazon.com with a 3rd party seller for a powered ride in jeep. It was scheduled to be delivered Dec 1st through the sixth 2022 through FedEx. An attempt was made on sat Dec 3rd. I was home and according to the 2 blink cameras the driver did lightly knock on the door. They did not leave the package as I was not informed it required a signature. I called FedEx to see what the next step was. I was advised fedex did not deliver to my area on Sunday and he opened a case to have the package delivered on Monday Dec 6th between 6:30 pm and 8 pm since I work through the week and would not be available to sign. Sunday rolled around and I received a notification that the package would be delivered that day. I was confused as I was told they do not deliver to my area on Sunday. At 11am I received an e-mail saying they attempted delivery. I sat by the front door all morning so I check my cameras and no one attempted the delivery. I called fedex to try and find out what to do next. I was advised thatbthere in no way to reach a manager and they would open a case to reattpemt that same day. I attempted to call fedex when 5pm rolled around for an update. They advised me the case stated it would be delivered on Tuesday Dec 6th between 8am and 8pm. I asked to speak to a manager and I was advised there is absolutely no way to speak with a manager. I then asked for a corporate number. They advised me there is no corporate number. She advised I log in and pay for a scheduled delivery. I advised I have proof that their driver did not attempt the delivery they said they did so why should I pay? She advised they can hold the item for pick up. I advised I do not have a vehicle large enough which is why it was ordered to be shipped. The call went nowhere with no way to escalate any issue to a manager or anyone else. At this point the tracking number tells me delivery will be attempted tomorrow Monday Dec 5th which contradicts the information I was given by the rep.

      I have had a package stop tracking at a FedEx facility since 11/23 (It is now 12/4). I have wasted so many days with phone calls, getting told false information and passed around. One rep told me "they can still see the package is moving". Lies..as I was told the next day it is considered lost, so I need to file a claim. I was told because it was FedEx surepost that she would put a ticket in and they would call me back that day...no phone call. I have wasted so much time trying to track down this missing package with zero help. Tracking number ********************. I have now lost out on this sale because the buyer is not happy it has taken so long.

      Tracking #************ This will be the third time I have ordered wine and of course need to sign for the package to be of age. Each time I have been told "delivery attempt made, no one home". I have video cameras at my front door and evidence that no attempt was made. On one occasion the wine package was delivered while no one was home but was marked as delivered with a signature. This needs to be corrected.

      FedEx claims they attempted delivery of an item that requires a signature at 12:20 pm on December 2nd at my home. At that time, I was sitting 10 feet from my front door. No attempt was made. Tracking on their website tells me they will make another attempt on the next business day. That puts my package 3 actual days behind, assuming the next driver doesn't also fake the delivery. When I attempted to contact FedEx, I was given a voice prompt menu. I said 'complaint' and it gave me an automated message telling me to call back during regular hours and hung up. It didn't bother to tell me what those hours are. Clearly this system is designed to discourage people from making complaints or having issues resolved.

      I am rejecting this response because: it doesn't address the fact that there was no attempt to deliver made on December 2nd.

      Sincerely,

      Dear ******************,

      This is in response to your inquiry addressed to the Better Business Bureau. 

      The appropriate management has been notified of your concerns regarding the tracking

      number 391271628103.  We have confirmed with the courier's manager, who was on 

      the vehicle as well on December 2, 2022, that a delivery attempt was made at 12:20 p.m.,

      and this package did require a indirect signature.

      Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience you have encountered. We

      value the trust our customers place in us, and we look forward to serving you more

      satisfactorily in the future. 
       
      Respectfully,

      FedEx

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.
