      I generated a shipping label with fed ex. The label did not generate, I called them they told me to make another one and that I can file for a refund in a weeks time. I make another label for overnight express. I need the package fast. They make a delivery attempt, the driver does not ring the door bell or leave a door tag. I call them to see what I can do to get another attempted delivery. I give door code, phone number ect. They reattempt to re deliver. Do not use door code, phone number or the note i left of the door with my phone number. I call to get the package sent to a fed ex location. They assure me it will arrive by Saturday. It is now Monday, and the package is still being attempted to deliver at my home address. With no door tag being left. I call and they tell me it will be at the location I selected tomorrow, but it will also be attempted to deliver at my house. I now do not know where this package is. I'm not confident they know where it is. I have now paid to send two packages and havent received it. It is a urgent package for my wedding. As the consumer I did everything I could, and they have failed me. This is most stressful part of my wedding now!

      I have had multiple items which have passed through the *********, ** FedEx facility that have not been delivered, however the FedEx delivery person is marking the items as being delivered. I have attempted to work with FedEx to resolve the issue, however they have taken no action to resolve the underlying issue. I am concerned that the same management/employee practices which lead to the incident where a FedEx delivery person was dumping packages in a ravine in ** is at work in the *********, ** facility. Link to story: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/12/10/*******-man-allegedly-dumped-fedex-packages-ravine/**********/I have opened cases with FedEx concerning these incidents.FedEx case number : C-******** Shipping Vendor : Vevor Date: 9/10/2022 FedEx Tracking Number : ************ Case was opened at the time, I do not have the case number now.Shipping Vendor : Amazon Date of shipment: 7/26/2022 FedEx Tracking Number : ************ I would like for FedEx to investigate this facility to ensure that they do not have a driver(s) which are dumping packages. They should be able to track to the individual who was in charge of the package when it was allegedly delivered.

      While I was at my home in ***** for vacation, I shipped my Santa **** guitar to my home here in *****************. I've had this guitar for over 10 years. It's precious to me. The guitar arrived in *******, ** on August 5, 2022. I inquired with FedEx about the status on August 8, 2022, and was told it was with customs. I called each day after to inquire about it. Each time, I was told it was with customs. On August 21, my wife called customs in *******, ** and spoke to Officer ***********************. He told my wife that it had not been brought to customs. Though, he advised us to send a Form **** to FedEx, and said that he would have his officers remove the need to inspect the item.Each day, I continued following-up with FedEx. They had a person from the Trades Department (********) that was to be assigned to tracking down the item. I was told she would call me. No one had called me from FedEx.On September 2nd, I was told that the package had cleared customs and was on its way. On September 6, I was informed that the package could not be located in the warehouse in *******. On the same day, I inquired with Officer *********************** again to see if the package was cleared through customs on Friday, as I was told it was. He told me that customs had not received it, and that there has been no further scans on the package since August 5. My guitar was in the possession of FedEx. This guitar is worth thousands of dollars. This guitar has sentimental value, and they lost it.Was it stolen? I don't know this.

      - Important package purportedly had delivery attempted Friday 9/2 - Inexplicably claimed the package was "refused" (The intended recipient, and apartment management both deny this ever happened)- Spoke with 5 different customer service representatives via phone, and was told 4 times that delivery would be reattempted, only to find out by the 5th phone call that delivery CANNOT BE REATTEMPTED TO THE SAME ADDRESS IF DELIVERY WAS "REFUSED"- Instead have to have the package sent to a FedEx Office location downtown where the recipient will now have to spend her gas, time and pay for parking to retrieve the package herself - Entire situation seems an awful lot like FedEx never even attempted to deliver the package, and are cutting corners in the hopes that their customers incur expenses for them

      I sold an item on **** and purchased FedEx shipping from their site as a part of the transaction. The kitten was valued at $270 plus a $35 seller fee. The item was delivered by the buyer completely destroyed even though it was packaged with plenty of packing material. Fedex only refunded $100 even though all the invoices and proof were submitted. I am have spent over a month trying to resolve this and neither **** or FedEx will fix it.

      Per Ground Executive Claims team: value not declared on shipment. **** allows declared value added under

      I am rejecting this response because:

      When I purchased three shipping through ebays selling process I was not given the option to add the value of the contents, presumably because it is stated in the listing/invoice.

      I have submitted all documents and evidence including the **** invoice.... **** refuses to do any thing to rectify the situation. Both point the finger at the other... With  no further progress.

      I have had to pay over $300 for my distroyed goods, fees, and shipping.. minus the $100 credit I received from FedEx. Unacceptable.

      I did receive the supervisors message and have tried calling back repeatedly to no avail.

      **** and fedex work together.... To sell services.... But not to rectify a problem? 

      I will be attempting to contact them again as well and look forward to this being resolved.

      My tracking number is ************ and my claim number is C-********. I placed an order from ******************, and I was told it was shipped on 5/30/22 and delivered on 6/6/22. The package has no signature required and it is showing delivered. However, I never received my package that I purchased in the amount of $654.31. I have contacted ********************* multiple times along with FedEx to re-open the claim because I still to this day despite what the previous claim stated delivered. I do not have my package. After speaking with FedEx, I was told that they could not re-opened it unless the shipper re-opens the claim on my behalf. I immediately contacted ****************** and they stated because the first claim decision stated the items were delivered, they are having a hard time re-opening the claim again. I was told by a supervisor at ****************** that for me to be fully refunded the $654.31. FedEx would have to re-open and approve the claim then payment will be sent to me. This is totally unacceptable! This has been going on for months now and I have been extremely patience, but I still do not have my refund for a package that I did not receive. ****************** stated that no signature is required for the package, but when I went to track the package looks like it was signed by someone named ********. I have never heard of this person in my life because I am in a building and no one signs my packages on my behalf. Can you please have this claim opened again and approved so that I can receive my $654.31? I am livid that I have escalate this situation to the BBB to get resolved.

      we have garbage trucks, delivery drivers from **** etc. as well as various work trucks that come into our neighborhood to do work, to deliver packages, etc. however FedEx refuses to deliver on several occasions not just my packages but my neighbors to the front door of Our homes. Instead they have tossed the packages on a street side that isnt even our address. Leading to confusion, complaints, and destruction of property. We have tried to resolve this with FedEx driver and have yet to see a solution.

I am told today priority over night will not be there Monday the 12th they are selling overnight shipping with no intent of delivering on a weekend no additional cost was mentioned no extra fees or wait time priority over night is false advertising and needs to be addressed. I now have lost valuable assets due to this. I have paid 75 dollars for 4 papers to be shipped overnight not 3 days later. There must be some accountability for false advertising and living and stealing money. This is outrageous and egreous 50 dollars they stole over normal 3 day shipping like they are treating it
