Ive been to the warehouse trying to get answers and still nothing.

      On 6/12/23 FedEx was supposed to have delivered a package to my house. The tracking stated at ****am that the package was delivered but their was no sign of the package. I tried to contact fedex but couldnt speak to a representative an automated response only stated it had been delivered. The package had been sent to the wrong address so later the they returned with the package took a picture of the box upside down but the package had bee open from the opposite side and these were good items. The delivery person did not have the decency to say anything but just dropped the package off like it was ok. So not only was the person who delivered package not honest the company does not provide an opportunity to speak with anyone to stay your complaint to. This is unacceptable.

      Dear *****************************: 
       
      We regret any problems you encountered while inquiring about the status of your FedEx Ground Economy shipment tracking number 399363290673. Per our conversation, the shipper reshipped this to you and the replacement has now been received. 

      Ground Economy specializes in the delivery of low-weight, less time-sensitive shipments. This is a cost-effective service and is not a time-definite delivery service. Most shipments are delivered within five to seven business days. Also, scans may not be recorded each day for this service since it is not a time-definite delivery service. 

      /We understand your concerns regarding the delay in transporting the shipment, and deeply regret the difficulties you encountered while calling our toll-free number. 

      The appropriate management has been notified of your delivery concerns for an internal review with the drivers responsible for serving your area. We certainly regret any inconvenience you have 
      encountered.  

      On behalf of FedEx, we extend our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you have encountered. Your business is very important to us, and we hope you will allow us other opportunities to serve you. 
       
      Respectfully,

      We are attempting to locate a package needed for a program next week. It is a hand woven art object valued at almost $20K. The package was marked out for delivery but was not delivered and FEDEX has not escalated our case, as promised. Additionally, I was suppose to receive multiple returned phone calls and this has not happened. It has put us at a terrible disadvantage after well over a year's worth of work.

      Reference ************, a package that was paid (*****) to be shipped from *******, ** for a 2 business day delivery, with the package being shipped after 3pm on May 26, 2023 to ************, **. The package was not shipped or received, yet FedEx staff managed to add a lie to the database on June 11th trying to say FedEx was so nice the shipped it priority overnight for a Saturday delivery at 1/3 the cost. Totally untrue. There is a rumor that FedEx is going out of business due to Pilot strikes. I'm beginning to believe it because they are treating customers as if they are desperate thieves. The site will not allow a claim to be entered and I demand my money back NOW! I am about to blow up social media with what's going on. FedEx is going to have other problems if an exec doesn't call me and get me money by the end of the week. I received a third-party message stating FedEx instructs to file a claim, but the have the website rigged to prevent that. I'm not walking away from my money. If FedEx wants a ***** lawsuit publicity to occur. I can make it happen. Heads need to role on the upper management level. The company's reputation is irreparably ruined.

I sent an estimate March 10th. *** said their insurance company would contact me but they never did. After I sent the estimate *** stopped replying to my emails & stopped answering my calls. I have spoken to a few people through ******** messenger. ******* Feb. 24th, **** March 29th, ************** 5th, ******************* 24th.

      Whoever the delivery drivers are operating out of the Fedex ******************* in ******, ** are either really stupid, or they do this on purpose. 4 or 5 times now they've done this to things I've ordered and were shipped via Fedex where they **** the package as delivered, yet are nowhere to be found anywhere on my apartment property. And the stupid photos they upload to the trackers DO NOT HELP. One of the most recent items I had delivered via Fedex, the idiot driver uploaded a picture of his THUMB. I have called Fedex customer support each time this has happened and I have yet to receive a resolution on ANY of the times I've had to contact them. A simple solution would be to contact the drivers directly so we can find out where exactly these idiots drop things, but apparently they don't carry cell phones on them. THAT SOUNDS LIKE COMPLETE ******** TO ME.

      I mailed a iphone back to Apple using the packaging that my replacement phone was mailed out to me in. Also on this package was an already paid for and attached return shipping label that Apple had affixed to this package for me. I received my new phone and like I was instructed placed the defective phone in the box peeled off the label that was addressed to be delivered to me and there was a premade label affixed and made deliverable to an address in ****** ****** - Tracking number is ************ it was dropped off on March 15 2023 and delivered to the address which was placed on the return label my Apple at 248 pm on March 17 2023 signed for by a person named ****************** . I will attach copy of this proof. So I have been going round and round with both of these companies, Apple and FEDEX and FEDEX is giving me some lame explanation that the shippers name is not my name therefore they will not give me any additional information. This. is outrageous. I did exactly what I was told to do and it clearly was delivered to the place it was going to. FEDEX told me today the 14th of June 2023 that after it made it to this location it was then mailed elsewhere.. HOW IS THIS MY FAULT. I WANT ANSWERS AND THESE TWO CREDIBLE OR SHOULD BE CREDIBLE CORPORATIONS TO GET ME A RESOLUTION BY COMMUNICATING BETWEEN ONE ANOTHER SO THAT I AM NOT CHARGED $600 FOR SOMETHING I RETURNED AND CLEARLY DELIVERED I FEEL LIKE NOBODY AT EITHER COMPANY IS HANDLING THIS IN A WAY IT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH AND I HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH. GET IT DEALT WITH . MANAGER FROM FEDEX CONTACT A MANAGER AT APPLE AND HAVE A RESOLUTION TIMELY BY NOT CHARGING ME $600 DOLLARS . ASAP

We were also advised this issue does not involve FedEx.

      On behalf of FedEx, we extend our sincere apologies to you.

      FedEx is lying about attempting delivery and is refusing to bring the package I have ordered. I have been home each day they claim to have attempted and have witnessed the driver leaving our street without even getting out of their vehicle. They have not even left any door tags and are falsely update their online tracking. I have called FedEx nearly 10 times now trying to resolve this and they refuse to accept any accountability and continuously lie to me in response claiming they have attempted this delivery. Each day, with each call I make, they claim they will attempt delivery and then falsely update tracking again. I have tried filing complaints multiple times with FedEx directly towards the driver and station manager with no luck seeing movement on this package. I do not have the ability to pickup myself, and it is fraud for FedEx to take payment for services and misrepresent and lie about what they then provide in turn. This package is worth nearly $1000 so it requires a signature and the driver is just being lazy and refusing to carry the package up the 5-6 stairs leading to our building and knock on my door, then lying about it to offset FedEx's own obligation to deliver this package to me, the consumer. It is not right and needs addressed, and I wonder if the driver is refusing to deliver my package due to my race as an Asian-********. I will continue to escalate via every available avenue until this delivery is completed appropriately by FedEx. Tracking#*************.

      Customer Answer

       I have continued calling FedEx on this, and they continue lying to me and claiming they attempted delivery even though we have video evidence that is false.  Their customer service has lied to me at least 5 times now claiming the package delivery will be attempted again and it never happens, tracking is lying saying they are awaiting more information from me the recipient, but that is also not true.  I have been in contact with them daily and they have any/all information required.  This fraud.
