      On 09/10/2022 at 1:52pm I was notified a package with tracking number: ************ had been delivered. At 2:10pm I checked my front porch and no package was there. I looked around and contacted my neighbors and still no package. I checked my cameras and there was no activity for that period thus the package had never ACTUALLY been delivered at my address. I immediately opened a lost package claim, number is: c81219724.On 09/13/2022, I received a response for that claim that the package was delivered and they closed the case. I attempted to contact Fedex twice to get more information, both times I was told the person who handled the case would call me back. I have yet to receive a single call. This will cause me to be out $142, because Fedex will not communicate with me.Supposedly Fedex can track the trucks and take pictures of delivered packages, finding out where package was delivered would help a lot.

      I went to FedEx on 8/25/22 and paid for overnight shipping for time sensitive objects to arrived the next day no later than 8:00PM. Tracking number: ************ After days of not receiving it the recipient reached out and fedex claimed there was an issue with the address but upon checking it was the exact address I gave and the address being delivered. There was no issue the package was sitting in a distribution center. It did not arrive until 8/30/22. I called for a refund on 8/31/22 and was told I did not yet have an invoice number and I had to wait 3-5 business days after the package arrived (late) to request. I called back today and was told by ***** that he was not authorized to refund me and suggested I send someone and email and wait. This information conflicts with what I was told on 8/31/22. I just want my money back since they did not provide the service I paid for.

      Complaint: 18035500

      I am rejecting this response because:

      It was an address issue in their system, so I still do not know if I will continue having these issues in the future. I had specifically asked them to make sure the issue would be permanently fixed so I know if I can continue ordering from certain vendors that only use FedEx. Additionally, they did not read my complaint in its entirety and did not try to work with me on an alternative resolution as I had specifically requested. I told them I would not be at that address anymore by the time they figured out how to get it to me (I wasn't expecting it to take 28 extra days for delivery) and had asked for alternative options. I am no longer at the address that they delivered the package to. I've given up and received a refund from the vendor as I will never, ever receive this package before it either rots or gets destroyed by wildlife. 

      Sincerely,

      ***********************

      I have now spent hours of my life requesting a refund that is due to me. This is gross incompetence on FedExs part. As you will see in the attached screenshots, I paid FedEx $33.50 on August 30th (billed August 31st on my credit card statement) to change my delivery address for tracking number: ************. Even though I paid money to change my address, it was still delivered to the incorrect address, refused because no signature was able to be provided, and returned to the sender. I then had to reorder the package from the sender. I have called FedEx TWICE now to get this refund. The first time I called was last Tuesday the 6th. At that time the customer service agent said she needed to wait until there was an invoice, and that I should call back the 13th. When I called back, the agent said she was unable to see this charge. I dont know how that is humanly possible. How does FedEx not keep track of the money its making wrongfully off of its clients? Ive now emailed them and they say that they cannot see the $33.50 line item, so cannot give me a refund.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I appreciate the acknowledgment of the egregious issues with this delivery (although downplayed because it does not mention that the item went from CA to DE and back, arrived during a day of excessive heat.. I have contacted the shipper because the shipment included 2 bottles of high quality wine. This product was subjected to excessive heat.  The items were initially sent when the weather was cool and it was safe to travel. The delay caused the wine to be traveling in excessive heat.  I will accept the response once the shipper has been successfully reimbursed so that I can receive replacement bottles. 

      Sincerely,

      *******************

      This is completely unacceptable. I was told by their resolution manager that this is the normal process. It has he never worked like this before and is not what I am paying for.

      Complaint: 18033108

      I am rejecting this response because I had to take an unpaid day off of work to accept delivery of the package that should have been delivered the previous day.  I have footage from my own camera as well as two (2) neighbors which clearly show the delivery person just leaving the door tag on my mailbox without ever attempting to enter my fence and come to my house.  if this was the first time I experienced this issue, I'd be lying.  This situation has happened over half a dozen times in the past.  Each time, after talking with FedEx support, and receiving the same response of "We're sorry for your inconvenience" and "We've talked to your local station", I had no recourse but to file a complaint with BBB.  FedEx is obviously not interested in ensuring their customer service improves, not do they take responsibility to make any amends for what is obviously a poor customer service track record which appears to be endemic within their organization.
