I am writing to bring to your attention a recent incident involving the delivery of packages that were incorrectly delivered to an address different from the one provided. I am deeply disappointed by this mistake and would like an immediate assistance in resolving this matter. I have filed numerous claims and have not gotten a call back from anyone. The only correspondence I have received is an email asking me questions regarding the delivery address. I emailed the information and sent a photo of my son's residence and I still have not received a call back or response. The claim I filed had a 48-hour turnaround and now that's expired. I still haven't heard back from Fedex call or email unless I call them, and they give me the same excuse "they are working on it'.On August 15th I filed a claim for two packages delivered to the wrong address. Inquiry Tracking # ************ and Inquiry Tracking # ************ These packages were delivered to a different address entirely, which does not belong to me or anyone I know.My son's personal belongings are in those packages, it's crucial to rectify this situation promptly. I think we have been extremely patient with Fedex. The wait and lack of communication has taken a toll on me and my son.I would like an explanation as to how this error occurred and what measures are being implemented to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. I would appreciate a call regarding the progress of the investigation and steps that are being taken to retrieve my son's packages. Respectfully, ***********************Customer Answer

What steps are being taken to retrieve my son's packages? Clearly, Fedex dropped them off at the wrong address according to the picture you sent. Has anyone called the Durham location to speak with a manager? Has the driver been questioned to where he left the packages. Why is it so hard to go back to the location he left them and pick them up? This entire process has been frustrating!
As for filling out a claim, I want my son's personal items returned! Money can't replace his personal belongings. My son has over ****** followers on TikTok he should let all his followers know how horrendous this experience has been. There seems to be no accountability, and no one seems to care about my son's missing packages!
I would like a more thorough explanation on the investigation before I fill out any claims!

May 11, 2023 being charged $1436.00 on Discover charge card for kitchen chairs that were purchased from Caster Chair *********************** #**********, FedEx claims they were delivered but no delivery was received. FedEx replied with a tracking delivery #************ that was allegedly signed by me using ************ Those are not my initials and I did not sign for the delivery.

I purchased a replacement phone on Wednesday 8/16/2016 that was guaranteed shipping through FEDEX. I received a tracking number that stated I would receive the phone the following day 8/17/2023 between 9:20AM- 1:20PM, then it changed to delayed, before 5PM, then it changed again to before 8PM. Then at 5:55PM the driver marked as "attempted to delivery" which was absolutely false. Fast forward to day 8/18/2023, tracking information updates and shows out for delivery again delivery timeframe 9:20-1:20PM, gets delayed again, so I can the customer service line and they state it should show up no later than 3PM. That time comes and goes. I called back then they state I should now get it before 8PM. At 7:30M it's marked as "attempted to deliver again" but shows back at the FEDEX facility at 7:42. This is completely ridiculous! I have been purposely home bound for the past 2 days so that I don't miss this package and the delivery drivers keep lying! There is not even a signature required so that even further more shows there was no attempt, plus no note on the door they're supposed to leave. I have been home. Now it shows they'll make another attempt on Monday 8/21/2023 between 9:20-1:20. This is a cell phone, that has been is sitting in over 100 degree weather for the past 2 days and now will sit over the weekend because you delivery drivers have dropped the ball. I am requesting a refund of $139 i paid. Tracking Number: ************Business Response

I ordered a pair of W Bondi SR shoes from Hoka that was shipped to my apartment in ******. FedEx is the ones who were delivering my package. The address was missing my apartment number however they delivered it to a random door anyways. Since there was no unit number provided they should have left it at the office or not deliver it at all and contact the shipper (me) for the full address. I have contacted them multiple times in hopes of locating where the FedEx driver dropped off my package but they will not help me at all and have not provided kind customer experience including one time where they talked over me and then hung up while I was still talking. These shoes are $200 that I bought for the start of my nursing program, I am not sure where they dropped off my package because the picture of proof of delivery shows a doormat that is not owned by me, my complex is has multiple units so I have no clue where my shoes could be.Customer Answer

good morning ******************,
Your claim has been escalated to the ******************** Office for review. Our records show that you are the recipinet of this package. As a result of contractual agreements between FedEx and the shipper, you will need to reach out to the shipper and request a waiver releasing their rights to file the claim to you. While anyone can file a claim, we either need the release giving you their rights to the claim or the shipper will need to file the claim, because we can only handle a claim with the party that paid the shipping costs. Please reach out to them and return the waiver to us.
Thank you,

I placed an order for dog food through Chewy.com. it was shipped out via FedEx with a delivery date of August 16th, tracking number ************. I received notification from FedEx at 6:37 am on Aug 16 that my order was "out for delivery" and would arrive that day. It never arrived. I called, and after a major hassle getting ahold of a human, I was lied to multiple times. So I called chewy. They could tell via their system that FedEx lost it. When I called FedEx I was GUARANTEED a follow up call, and that the order would arrive the next day. It has not arrived. It is still lost. They are doing absolutely nothing to find it, nor have they provided me with any updates. This has happened to me multiple times with FedEx. They are an unreliable, disgrace of a company that feels no obligation to live up to the contract I formed with them for delivery, nor do they make it right, nor do they follow up like they say they will. All they do is lie and get away with it. I want a follow up from FedEx, I want my delivery to be found and delivered immediately, and I want an apology for the lies and for the amount of my time they have wasted since Aug 16th. They frankly should have a class action lawsuit filed against them for breach of contract, as I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to.Business Response

FedEx package deliveries never show on time. Packages show out for delivery for days. FedEx drivers leaving packages in the yard away from the home at 10pm. You can not get a human on the phone for any reason. The fact that shipping is so expensive and this happens almost every time fedex is bringing a package. A lot of times the packages never even make it to you. They constantly deliver to wrong addresss. Impossible to get help with FedEx issues.Business Response

Aug 11th 2023 I ordered a package of triple bunk beds for ****** off of Walmart.com. FedEx is the delivery service it was shipped with. Aug- 16th it was marked delivered with a proof of photo. Not only was there no package in the proof of photo, but it was delivered to a house after my instructions with them stated I lived in an apartment dwelling. That same day, not even five minute later, I called FedEx and informed them it was not delivered to me but to a home I have never seen. They put in a ticket and said theyd get back to me. They did not. I called again that evening to check in. Was given the same answer. No one called back. I called the next morning to receive the same answer. No one called again. Than that afternoon. So Aug, 17th 2023, I still had heard nothing. I called back. A woman assured me she personally took over my ticket and would personally see it was resolved and call me with every update. I never heard back. So that evening Aug 17th 2023 around 545pm I called FedEx again. To be informed there was no info on someone taking over and that there was a ticket and it was being looked into and Id get a call back with an update. At which that point I gave an attitude and ended up hanging up. It is now august 18th 2:10pm and I have had zero updates on my package unless I called and asked for one. I just want them to either get the package to me, or get me the money I spent on the beds that I wasted.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: the issue may have been resolved on their end, however not one time was I updated about any of this unless I contacted them first. When each and every person stated I would hear back within 48 hours. And they decided that wasnt necessary. The customer service guidelines apparently arent made to be followed which caused issues on this end. Regardless of the place of delivery being correct the delivery on my end stated it was in fact delivered in ******* **. when I stated that to the FedEx employee upon their call today, August 24th 2023 (the first time they have contacted me since the ordeal on the 16th) I was told I was incorrect seeing as they dont list addresses. I informed her she was incorrect. She stated that ******* mustve been where I received my information of delivery from. Again I informed her it was their website. Again I was told that wasnt possible. She looked into it and stated finally that o was in fact correct. And that it was considered corrected upon their end.
