I ordered a camera lens from ***************, a store in *************, on May 25, 2022. The lens was to be sent to me via FedEx at my hotel in *********, *******. (The FedEx tracking number was: 580730170138.)A FedEx employee in **********, ******* phoned my ********* hotel on May 28 saying that the lens was being held in ********** pending my payment of ******** customs duties. But after sending that email, the FedEx employee incorrectly entered on the FedEx tracking record that the lens had thus already been delivered to me in ********* (and used the email correspondence as proof of delivery).I telephoned FedEx in ********** that day to settle the customs fee, but they told me they didnt accept either credit cards or cash as payment, and since those were the only options convenient to me, I asked *** to request return of the lens to their ******** store.*** has told me that on three occasions in June 2022 they filed a claim with FedEx for return of the lens, but that on each occasion FedEx told them (erroneously) that they had delivered the lens to me in *********.As a result of FedExs failure to return the lens to ***, after 45 days the lens ultimately ended up being confiscated by ******** customs in **********.During that 45-day period, I repeatedly telephoned FedEx. I asked FedEx to return the lens to the ******** store but they told me only the store could make such a request (see above). I also asked FedEx to correct the erroneous delivery entry on its tracking record, but they told me that once information was entered it could not be changed. Thus, the misunderstanding persisted, leaving me at a financial loss through no fault of my own.Thus, I am here requesting that FedEx pay me the full cost for the lens -- $1,048 (a **** FE ****** mm f 3.5/6.3 lens).

Dear Valued Customer: According to our records of this shipment it has been seized by customs. Unfortunately under FedEx's terms and conditions of carriage we assume no such liability of a claim. We again apologize and hope to serve you more favorable in the near future.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:Your (FedEx's) response is very perplexing. Are you saying that you bear NO liability WHATSOEVER for the mistakes that you yourself make and their consequences for a designated recipient? It is FedEx that entered incorrect tracking information and refused to correct it, ultimately resulting in the confiscation of my camera lens by Moroccan customs. Please send me relevant excerpts of FedEx's policy terms that state such a position. (I don't think that such terms -- under which a company would take no responsibility for its own mistakes -- could be legally defensible. We are not talking about "acts of God" here.
And the shipper/store ******************* insists that they sent FedEx claims for return of the lens on three occasions. (See my earlier statement that provided one of the claim numbers.). Did or did not FedEx deny B&H's requests?
Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because:The most recent FedEx response seemed to be simply an evasive form letter that replied to NONE of the questions I have asked them.
I would like a reply from FedEx on the questions I have asked. In plain terms, I want FedEx to read my earlier correspondence and REPLY WITH SPECIFICS: not least as to what responsibilities they assume when they contract to deliver an item and whether they ever responded to *******************'s requests for return of the lens.
If they continue to be non responsive on this matter I'll have no option other than to take them to court, and at that time I'll be seeking compensation not only for the full cost of the camera lens caused by their negligence, but also for all the time, affiliated costs and emotional distress I've suffered due to their negligence.

Tracking # ************ Greetings. I'm writing with a rather frustrating dilemma. My brother sent a package to me on 6/02/2023 from the ***************** (***) Utilizing Fedex. Unfortunately a ******** Fedex employee put a $1 value on the shipping Box. (Value of package, $4,899.) When the package arrived in ******** the **** customs authority put a $4,076. fine on the package. This is no fault of my own nor my brother. This is the fault of the fedex employee. I am humbly requesting that the fine be paid to the **** customs authority and the package released and delivered. I eagerly await your assistance and response. Thank you.

I sent an envelop via FedEx Priority, the tracking# is ************. Per FedEx the delivery date was 5/22/23. But it was not actually delivered until 5/26/23. FedEx told me that I can request a refund or adjustment of the bill by going to a FedEx website, but that website is non functional, despite my multiple tries on different devices at different time, all I got was this message "Sorry we are currently unable to process your request. Try again later". And FedEx live representatives keep telling me the only way for FedEx to look at the matter by me submitting a request on their website.

On 6/1/23 a 100 pound plus sofa was left at my mailbox on the road. The mailman helped my 70 year old husband load it in the truck. Case #C110337490 opened on 6/1/23. No follow up to date. This was not my first complaint. Case #C1120207863 opened today regarding 2 boxes left at my mailbox (noted as delivered to gated driveway.) Before they could be retrieved they were taken by someone. This is an ongoing issue with 390, 404, and *********************. I have been calling, responding to delivery surveys, and wrote a letter. Still no resolve.

Packages for home address have been misdelivered by the ************** hub and FedEx has not made any attempts to investigate or reimburse for costs associated for merchandise. Since package was received and delivered by FedEx the retailers refuse to open claims which leaves the consumer holding the bag to seek restitution. Attempts to get assistance are now useless since the automated system requires tracking information to redirect calls. But FedEx has purged tracking details from their systems without contacting us or reimbursing for loss.

*** lived in my apartment for 3 years and have NEVER received a FedEx package. Every other delivery service is able to deliver with no issue. FedEx does not ring the bell, knock on the door, or update their tracking app. Every customer service representative I spoke to gave a different answer. Just today I was told my package was ready for pickup, out for delivery AND destroyed all within 15 minutes. All of their information is inaccurate. I have lost a significant amount of money paying for fast shipping on packages never delivered. Fedex does not provide a phone number OR ADDRESS for the facility that holds peoples items. I have to spend more money to go all the way across town and HOPE that my package will be there. The process is extremely inconvenient and disrespectful. Their employees are NOT trained and are RUDE to customers. This has been going on for years with no resolution.

Products we have ordered have not arrived to our new address. We have used our new address with different vendors. The label on the boxes have our new address, but the FedEx drivers continue to deliver packages to our old address.On one particular delivery, they had a signature and they claimed it was my husband signature. He did not sign for that package. The package was delivered to our old address.In May of this year, a delivery of flowers went to my old address by mistake. The second Mothers Day gift was also delivered to my old address. It took me a week to go to my old address after FedEx had no idea where our package went. It wasnt until after the vendor sent a picture of the package delivered. Did I realize they had delivered it to the wrong address. I left work early today to receive two packages through FedEx because the vendor was requiring a signature. I saw the update online, but no one came to my door. I drove to my old address, and there was no sticker on the door. I have no idea where they tried to deliver the package. My husband filed a complaint through FedEx two weeks ago. I filed a case today. I attempted to have the package held at the location, but the customer service representative was unable to make that happen over the phone, and I was unable to do it online.My delivery for Mothers Day is were screwed up and now my deliveries for Fathers Day will also be screwed up. FedEx needs to fix this process so that I can receive my packages for the rest of the time that I live in this location.
