On multiple occasions now, packages coming to my business via FedEx are supposed to arrive on a specified date, only to be updated the day after it was supposed to arrive stating that FedEx received a request for a future delivery date for the shipment. I have never requested any package to have a future delivery date, nor has my distributor from which these shipments are coming from. When I called customer service, no one can tell me who requested the future delivery, nor can they tell me what date the future delivery was requested to be. I was told they were opening a case and I would receive a call back, which I did, and was told the shipment would be arriving today and to keep an eye on the tracking information and if anything changed they would reach back out to me. Its now after 5:30pm, the tracking information has not changed, the shipment has not arrived, nor have I received a follow up call. This lack of communication and outright dishonesty is causing issues for my business.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********. The morons at fedex failed to tell me that if a signature is required, the address can't be changed by me or the vendor. That is what the in-store attendant told me anyway. They should change their advertised claims as a pick up service. This is a pattern with them.

I received a message that delivery was attempted, but that was a lie. Not only was I home for the delivery, but I was waiting on the porch. I did observe a fed ex truck drive past my house at a speed faster than the posted speed limit. I have cameras that prove that a driver never came to my property. No note was left on the door that a driver would have left during an actual failed delivery attempt. I left work early to be home to sign for the package. I lost money waiting for a package that never came. I am unable to leave my job early again tomorrow. The merchant was unsuccessful at helping to set up a hold at a location, and fed ex does not permit me to set up a hold. I am now at the mercy of a company that is notorious for fabricating delivery attempts with no regard to the fact that people are going to great lengths to be available for the delivery. The very least the driver can do, is complete the job they are so well compensated for.Business Response

Item requiring a signature was sent for overnight delivery on Monday, June 12 to arrive 13. We were later informed via email (we have the FedEx app) that the shipment would arrive on 13 Jun between **** and ****. Nothing was delivered. We checked the app later and were informed that it was pushed back to 14 Jun between **** and ****. Still nothing was delivered. Later the app said it would be delivered on 15 Jun between **** and ****. Still nothing was delivered. My wife got on the phone and was told that the driver had driven up the gate and just left. We have been receiving deliveries from FedEx for nearly 12 years at this address, and the gate has always been there. Other drivers have been able to check the computer (or at least call the office) for the gate code. And we were told that the FedEx office would ask the driver if he/she is willing to try again, hopefully tomorrow. That will be four half days that we have been virtual prisoners in our home. We were also warned that we may have to drive down to the Phoenix area (1.5 hours each way) to pick up the package.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because it provides no information to explain why FedEx gave us false information for 3 full days, telling us the item was being delivered within a stated time interval, and then just falsely making the same claim for three straight days in which we were virtual prisoners in our house. WHY did it happen? What are the true specifics? What is being done to rectify this multi-day fiasco? Was it a rogue driver? A bad dispatcher? A computer system breakdown? Why couldn't someone give us the correct information?

Tracking data reflects that tracking number ************ was delivered at 12:27 p.m. local time on June 16, 2023 .
Our records indicate there was a delay at our Indy Hub on June 13, 2023, that caused the package to be delayed.
Attempts of deliveries by courier were noted on June 14, 2023, at 12:27 p.m., and June 15, 2023, at 12:23 p.m.,
however we understand the courier did not attempt to enter your gate so that information was forwarded to
management for review and follow-up with employee for if the gate code was the issue it should have been noted.
Also, the messages you received were automated and sent automatically since we make 3 delivery attempts on
Express packages.

I ordered a truck cover on Amazon. It was supposed to be delivered by FedEx on June 9th. The tracking number is ************. The item was never delivered to our condo. We tried to contact the seller who would only tell us we had to go through Fed Ex directly. I contacted Fed Ex on Monday, June 12th at about 8am and they created an investigation. I was called back a few moments later. The woman on the phone told me that the package was listed as delivered by the driver, but it was never delivered and was actually still in a warehouse. I tried to tell her that there was clearly someones mailroom photographed and she would only say it wasn't delivered. I asked if I could get the information in writing, my request was denied. I told her that the seller needed to know the package wasn't delivered. She very rudely told me that they would need to call Fed Ex themselves. I also asked when I would be able to see on the tracking page that it was in a warehouse, she said give it a day to update. When nothing changed, I tried to make a claim to get my money back. The claim was denied and the only reason given was that it was delivered to the correct address, which they know it was not. I tried to call again and was not allowed to get through to a person. We also have an email from our HOA who checked the camera footage for the day and time it says it was delivered in which no deliveries by any company were found to be made. And photos of our mailroom versus the mailroom in their photo.Business Response

I had ordered seven different packages off of **** four where shipped with *** and the rest with FedEx I received the ones from *** but the ones from FedEx two of them have been delayed each on the days they were to be delivered around the times they were to be delivered. When calling about them they give some lame excuse why its being delayed. And the only thing they could do about it is to have someone investigate why they were being delayed. They havent really updated the tracking information either and when I asked to know where the latest delayed package was they stated it was still in ********** where it originated from but the tracking information said it was in ********.Business Response

I ordered a product (Ricoh GR111 camera) from ***************. B&H shipped the package. FedEx made two delivery attemps as per emails I received, however no door tag was left on either attempt. On the third delivery I was on porch of the delivery address when the FedEx driver past the address, turned around at end of the block and passed the delievry address again. I then got an email that an attempt was made. I immediatly called the local FedEx Office and stated what had happened. The truck returned to the delivery address with the package. However the package was opened and retaped there was no contents, the camera was missing, there was just an empty camera box. PayPal contacted B&H, B&H obviously shipped the product. I can not file a cliam with FedEx as I'm not the shipper. I'm requesting an investigation and reimbursement from FedEx for the warehouse/driver theft.Business Response

Being a Federal Express Customer for well over 30 years, we have been treated unfairly, we received a refund check in the amount of ***** however, we had a balance due FedEx in the amount of ***** and our account was suspended. When calling to try a resolution in the matter, FedEx stayed firm and would not allow us to speak with management. This is unfair business practice and FedEx should be held accountable.

Since the item was stolen in their premises, fedex should refund the item or reach out the *************** for the claim. *************** will not entertain my calls anymore regarding the issue.
