On 8/19/2023, two packages were delivered to my home address, for a person that does NOT and has not lived here. Both packages had "original" labels that showed the recipient's name with the address starting "440 NE", BUT there was ANOTHER label over this that had address starting with "440 NW". The outer label actually had the word "RELABEL" across the top of it. I contacted FEDEX about these wrongful deliveries on 8/19 and was told that they would not be able pick up until Monday. I called back on Monday, 8/21, and provided Case # C-*********, and was told a driver would pick up the packages, but they didn't. So I called again on Tuesday, 8/22, and provided case # and again was told the packages would be picked up, but they couldn't say when. THIS IS HORRIBLE SERVICE FROM FEDEX! This lady's packages have been sitting in front of my house since 8/19, and only way she would know they were delivered would be if she checked the tracking #'s online, which show delivery and photo at my house. I have been unable to get Fedex to come get these packages, AND after talking to six Customer Service reps between 8/19 and 8/22/2023, I'm giving up. Tomorrow, I will take them to a Fedex shipping location and leave them. I HOPE FEDEX will take this to heart and make this process Better!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:After speaking to seven Customer Service Reps over several days, FedEx could not achieve getting a Driver to stop and pickup the packages. Finally, after them sitting in front of my home from 10 days, I took them to a FedEx shipping office on ************** in ***************, and they agreed to return the packages to the sender. NEVER EVER should a customer have to repeatedly call and receive zero action from FedEx on such an easy request (pickup wrongly delivered packages). The response from FedEx is unacceptable.

FedEx couldn't locate my package (tracking # ************) for a week. The package is for a bed, and I have been living without a bed for the last week. Status says out for delivery on 8/16. I have been asking for support to no resolution (case number C-*********). However, today (8/22) it suddenly updated the status to delivery on 16th, a whole week later. I've never got the package, and the station manager told me that it was misplaced but they couldn't find the package. They refuse to even update the status to missing or in transit.Business Response

Tracking number: ************ I need a refund or partial credit back I paid for an overnight shipping and my package was delivered 4 days later.I dropped off the package on Thursday August 17 at 3PM and it was delivered on Monday August 21 when it's supposed to be delivered Friday August 18 before 5pm.I called customer service and was told that standard overnight shipping is 3 days, it is not true because there is no notice of this information on FedEx website when I created the label. I would not pay overnight shipping $75.30 for 3 days shipping. It clearly shows on the tracking details that the package was delayed. Worst thing is there is no way for customers like me to file claim with Fedex since we have to do it on the website and there are no options to file claims for late delivery.If you charge your customers for something that is not true such as overnight shipping, I can said your business is scamming your customers.Business Response

I went into a Fedex shipping facility and paid to ship a guaranteed overnight package from ***** to *******. Fedex guarantees their packages or your money back supposedly. The package was shipped on 8/10 and was supposed to arrive on 8/11. The package did not make it to its destination until 8/14. I requested a refund through Fedex since they guarantee their shipping, but was told that due to inclement weather they did not have to guarantee the shipment. A momentary thunderstorm in ******* ********* does not delay a package by several days. Husband is a Marine F/A-18 pilot with thousands of hours and is also an airline pilot, and his perspective offers that Fedex's suggestion that a brief weather system is the ******* of a 5-day delay is devoid of rational logistical logic and reason, especially when the Fedex fleet has 0/0 auto-land capability. Fully aware of trickle-down effects and prioritization in the logistical train with cancellations and weather delays, but 5 days start to finish due to weather for an overnight delivery is a laughable copout. Fedex is greatly benefitting from a false guarantee that they never intend to honor, as their easy-out for services paid for, yet not rendered - regardless of the magnitude of the delay - is "weather".Business Response

Dear *****************

Tracking#************, Case number: C-*********. First when the client received the package the guitar was destroyed. The client was informed that the seller needed to file a claim and the seller needed to send pictures. The neck of the guitar was snapped in half . The guitar was packaged in a hard shell case inside of a carton. There was glass inside of the of the carton after the client opened the package. I had fragile written on the front, side, bottom and the back of the package. I have been shipping packages since **** and I have never had a problem. This has been a nightmare. The total cost of the project was $491.40. I purchased insurance through Fedex and they are denying the claim. I would like to recover the monies that I insured the guitar for.Business Response

Good morning,
I am terrible sorry to hear about the damage to the guitar. Your claim has been escalated to the ******************** Office for review. As part of the review, I see that we are missing the copy of the **** transaction showing what you sold the guitar for. If you could provide that with a photo of the guitar from the **** listing. it would greatly speed up the review process. Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

On 7/31/23 FedEx delivered my 96lb dresser to the bottom stairs of my apartment complex, but I live on the 3rd floor and it was supposed to be delivered to my door. My apartments maintenance team moved the package to maintenance storage to prevent it from being stolen or damaged and I contacted fedex to have someone bring it to my door on 7/31, 8/7, and 8/16. Each time they have said they would send someone out and havent. After the first call, they claimed someone came and didnt find the package, which is when I told them maintenance moved it and they would need to go to the leasing office next time. The next time I called, the representative told me the case was filed under the wrong type of claim and that no one had ever actually went out to look for it. Each time I call, theyve said that they case is marked as closed but there has been no resolution after my multiple attempts.Business Response

We went to ************ on 8/5 for a fishing trip. My husband caught 35lbs of fresh tuna. We took a portion home, a portion was supposed to be shipped to CA and another portion was supposed to be shipped to family in **. The packaged fish was shipped out of *************** in ******** on 8/15 for an overnight shipment to be received on 8/16, it was about 10lbs of fresh caught albacore tuna. Due to the nature of the shipment, it HAD to be received the next day or the fish will spoil. The package for ******* was received 2 days later. The fish was barely cold and therefore deemed inedible. I filed a money back guarantee with FedEx and they denied my claim stating that the package was on dry ice (it wasnt). Then I contacted FedEx billing and this time, they claimed it was a thunderstorm. It feels like FedEx is finding a way or another not to honor their money back guarantee. Im looking to get back shipping cost as well as tuna cost back. Im attaching the picture of the tuna received, the initial denial from FedEx for dry ice and the second denial due to a thunderstorm. Im also attaching an email from the owner of *************** who shipped on our behalf showing the cost of shipping, what materials were used and the cost of fresh caught tuna. Im looking for a refund of about $292.83 which is the cost of the tuna plus shipping and materialsBusiness Response

A shipment has been sent to my house and the packaged arrived at the FedEx ******, ** facility on August 15. The package has been sitting at such facility for a week now. I have called FedEx customer service several times and I have not been able to communicate with a human being. The bot tells me I do not meet the criteria to be connected with a human being.

I purchased **************** Softener from target on 8/13/2023 and when the package was delivered by FED EX the employee slammed my purchase on my porch/steps and busted the liquids inside the box. This employee has several complaints on him already for destroying customers packages and nothing is being done about it. the only thing that it seems they are doing is giving him a new route to deliver which is not solving the problem just making it an issue for other customers.I also have video of the Incident when the FED EX Employee delivered the package slamming it on my porch/steps. It seems as if ***** wants my video evidence of the incident they only want pictures which dont show the actual damage being done.Customer Answer

The local FedEx keeps marking packages as "Delivered" when they have not been. I've had to open a case for four different deliveries that I have not received and only two were recovered. The most recent case, the carrier marked my package as delivered after I called in to see where it was. The package was never delivered and the only proof they provided was a photo of a stack of boxes in their warehouse, not in front of my house where it should have been. I've already filed a complaint with FedEx since this seems to be a regular occurrence but they seem to be completely unhelpful.Business Response
