I scheduled a shipment through my company's FedEx account that was picked up by FedEx on May 25, 2023. The declared value entered in the shipping information is $2800.00. The package was lost and I contacted FedEx via phone on June 5, 2023. They were unable to locate the package as the last know location was a FedEx facility in ********, **, and advised that I file a claim, which was done over the phone on that date. Since then I have contacted FedEx 11 times via phone and email in an attempt to resolve this matter and recover the loss to our company. FedEx issued a check for $100 on July 13, 2023 stating there was no declared value on the shipment. I have uploaded and shared the following via email per FedEx's policy: A screen shot from the FedEx website of the shipment information that clearly states the weight and declared value of the box, supporting invoices for the value of the lost contents, and a hard-copy of the claim submission. I've continued to contact **************************************** as instructed to seek a resolution to this matter to which the only reply I've received is, "This claim is under active investigation", without any additional information. It has now been 11 weeks since the claim was filed and I've yet to receive any indication that FedEx will honor their agreement. I've asked repeatedly to speak to someone directly without success.Business Response

On 7/21/23, I received a shipment via FedEx. The driver threw my package down on the sidewalk. My shipping instructions were "leave the package on my doorstep and ring the doorbell."This driver has continued to do this on every shipment I have received since 7/21. On 7/22, 7/31, 8/8, and 8/9/23 I received deliveries via FedEx. Every time, the driver threw my packages down on the sidewalk. In 2 cases, throwing them on the sidewalk damaged the contents within my package.I contacted FedEx 3 times (7/28/23, 7/31/23 and 8/8/23) to complain about the driver's negligence. On 7/31, I provided them with 3 tracking numbers for the packages I had received that day; provided with a complaint number: C-*********. I was assured the driver's behavior would be corrected. Yet, on August 3rd, I got a voicemail from a man using the fake name "***" whose accent was so atrociously thick, I could only understand a few words of what he said. All I could understand was, "Give track number so we help." I already gave them the tracking numbers! It's not my fault FedEx hires foreign Representatives who can't understand English! (During the call on July 31st, I had to repeat one of the tracking numbers at least three times, because the rep kept getting it wrong.)Obviously nothing was done. Because on August 8th, I heard a "splat" outside and saw the driver walking away from my yard and saw yet another one of my packages had been thrown down on the sidewalk. So I called FedEx again, gave them the same complaint about the driver throwing my packages on the sidewalk and refusing to put them on the porch. Gave them the tracking numbers. They didn't give me a complaint number. I gave them the complaint number from my last phone call. Once again I was assured that they would say something to the driver. But the next day, August 9th, guess what? My package was dumped on the sidewalk again.Tracking Numbers:7/31/23 683748679990 652195157866 582523942352 8/8/23 ************Business Response

I have been contacted by representatives from FedEx. I have been told that the supervisor of the driver will be contacted, but so far I haven't heard anything about a resolution, or whether the driver's behavior will be corrected. I'm waiting to hear from them again with more details. In the meantime, I've been given contact information and told to contact them directly should the driver do this again in the future. So the situation is in "wait and see" limbo.Customer Answer

We shipped a cell phone from ******* ** to Rimrock ** a distance of 1.5 hours. When speaking with the FedEx Rep they assured us that due to the very close proximity it would be delivered in one to two days. We considered a next day delivery but was assured it was not necessary. It now appears that the item which is now overdue will not arrive for several more days. We called the FedEx Complaint line and reached a call center in ***** who could provide no help. After repeated requests for a U.S. based call center we were told that option was not available. Tracing number 7827-6601-5211.Business Response

I ordered from the Merchant Allbirds and was given a tracking # of ******************** (FedEx's portion of the orders tracking was under ************) - this is a **** tracking number and FedEx handles the final leg of delivery. When the package was delivered I received a package with someone elses information, which was an entirely different item from an entirely different merchant. On the box FedEx simply covered their info with a sticker and slapped a label on it with my orders information. I contacted FedEx's customer service and was told to talk to the merchant as they could solve the problem, which is crazy as the merchant has absolutely nothing to do with it outside of sending the package and providing a tracking number which they did. I told them that the merchant wouldnt be able to help me as if they went to investigate they would find that **** took the order and handed it off to FedEx, FedEx printed a label and marked it delivered but didn't actually do that. The customer service agent basically said 'sorry you're ***' to which I asked to be connected with a supervisor, the agent refused multiple times and then hung up on me. When I attempted to contact them again the call would drop immediately as soon as I finally got through their ridiculously bad, slow, and long IVR system. I tried multiple times and got the same result so I have been blocked by the delivery service that has taken my property, refused to help me fix the issue, and then blocked me. Not to mention that I have someone elses package that I have no resolution on how to ensure reaches its intended recipient. This has been a failure on multiple fronts on their part and despite my efforts to discuss it with them they are refusing to communicate with me or help me resolve the issue. I expect contact from FedEx for resolution on how to go about getting this package out to the proper owner and how to locate my property that they have lost/taken.Business Response

On August 19th, H3**63436323833363535H sent me a notification that I had a package delivered to my home. When I got home, nothing was there. When I went to go look for the proof of delivery photo, I quickly realized that the package was delivered to the wrong home. The package was delivered to a townhome with RED BRICK. My home has TAN BRICK. Also in the proof of delivery photo the home had no doormat. I have a doormat that says "WELCOME". The driver also didnt take a photo showing the address of the home the package was delivered to, which they normally do. I have attached a photo of my home, which is unit #**. It has TAN BRICK. The unit next to mine, unit #**, is an example of the RED BRICK units. I attached a photo of the proof of delivery from H3**63436323833363535H. It was clearly dropped off at a RED BRICK apartment, and the unit had no doormat. The package was my childs shoes for this school year. Whomever the package was delivered too, never returned it to me. I would like a refund for this erroneous mistake by H3**63436323833363535H.Business Response

I previously filed a complaint with BBB earlier this year about this same issue. Additionally, I contacted my local hold facility as well as the regional plant. Packages from all FedEx operations including FedEx Home, FedEx Ground, and FedEx International do not arrive to my specified location at my unit door inside my apartment building. As a result, many have been late, some are hard to locate, and others go missing. Earlier this year I spoke with ****** at ?********************? about this issue. After some effort on her part, packages started to show up at my door as requested. She gave me her contact information in case this issue occurs again, which it has. However, now when I call this extension, it says it is invalid. I am writing today to report the most recent incident on Sunday, August 20, 2023, tracking number ************. This item was not delivered to my unit as requested, and despite the photo was difficult to locate. Please contact me to discuss options moving forward.Business Response
