      On June 29th, I dropped off a package at a Fedex dropoff location *********** in *******, *************. The package. This package contained camera equipment worth almost ***** dollars and when it didn't make it to it's intended recipient, I reached out to Fedex and filed a missing package claim. Through the stated 14 days of resolution time, I called in half a dozen times to try to find the status of the claim to no avail. Upon calling today, the call agent informed me that the claim had been denied, with no explanation as to why. This is unacceptable, and now I am still out thousands of dollars in equipment waiting on this to be resolved. It's worth noting, that I did return to the ********* location to see if they still had the package, but they did not.

      On Multiple occasions I have waited at home for a package to be delivered. On the day of delivery Fedex places a failure to deliver package due to no one being home. These are fraudulent claims by Fedex because I have waited just feet from my door for hours and no Fedex delivery driver ever shows up to deliver the package. This causes a huge inconvenience to me. Fedex fails to deliver packages on the projected date and also blatantly lies about making an attempt to deliver the package and then lies and places blame on the package recipient. This has occurred multiple times with Fedex with different packages. The latest package for this to occur is with tracking number ************.

      On July 8th, 2022 we shipped a box to ****** via the FedEx International Economy.Tracking number of the shipment is **** **** 6939.The estimated shipping charge was ******, as shown on the attachment Then FedEx sent me an invoice for $813.00 for this shipment, and refuses to adjust the invoice to the amount that was quoted when the package was shipped.Dimensions of the package: 21" x 17" x 13"Weight of the package: we weighed it at 6.2 pounds, weight shown in Fedex invoice is **** pounds.Please Note:1. FedEx web system estimates shipping charges the same for both **** AND 6.2 pounds given the package dimensions. Today, when I log into our account, as I did on July 8th, the system estimates payment to be $789.70 for both 6.2 and 13. 2 pounds (see attachment)2. On July 8th, 2022, FedEx system gave me the price of shipment as ******. The package dimensions did not change, delivery method did not change, address did not change, and adjustment of weight by FedEx is (a) incorrect, (b) does not make any difference for the package price anyways. Correspondingly, I demand that invoice be adjusted to the price I was quoted and agreed to on July 8th, 2022

      Date: 08/17/2022

      Dear  *******************, 

      This is in response to your recent inquiry addressed to the Better Business Bureau. 

      The freight charges of $813.77 are valid charges based on the weight and dimensions for the shipment traveling on package tracking number ************. Oversize charges were assessed due to the dimensions of the shipment. Dimensional weight rating is a pricing procedure used to calculate rates based on package size, or volume, rather than on the actual weight. The concept of dimensional weight has been adopted by the transportation industry worldwide as a uniform means of establishing a minimum charge for the cubic space a shipment occupies. 

      As a goodwill gesture, an adjustment has been applied to the shipment to make the billed amount 294.90.  

      On behalf of FedEx, please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience you were caused. 

       

      Respectfully,

      Over the years I have called to report speeding drivers. I live in a street that is very narrow with a 15mph speed limit. But there drivers always speed going well over 15mph. I even stopped one of them and asked if they knew speed limit and they said 25mph so clearly they are not looking at the speed limit sign.This year I have called corporate almost every week giving them the license plate# and the drivers continue to speed when I can.My question is are they reprimanding the drivers?Who else do I contact?The police?

      Customer Answer

      Date: 08/01/2022

      Dear Better Business Bureau:
      This is not about a package.  This is about the drivers who deliver packages and drive 25mph and up on a 15mph narrow road.

      I have called the corporate office 3 times to complain over the last month and the drivers still speed.

      This is getting ridiculous but I can not work with this business. They say they can not do anything because they are a contractor. This is probably the 6th compliant on this business. My husband and I are disabled. My husband is on the heart transplant list in *********. Documents can be provided. We order alot because of going out is an issue. We have a 7 x 20 covered porch, but there is approx 14 steps to get from the road to our porch. We dont use them because we park in the driveway. This ONE driver will not get his lazy **** out of the truck. Fedex has placed on the label put on porch but as you will see it doesnt happen. I dont know what else to do. I have talked to the actually hub in charleston **. I even have ******** number to call the hub directly. He delivered it today sometime, on Sunday, so I can not reach anyone now. They have made him come back 2x before. I want this issue cleared up for good and I want to speak personally to this driver. On the phone or in person, I want him to know just how difficult it truly is on us. I also want someone from fedex, someone that has the power to do something with this worker, to call me.Also while im making the compliant. I work for the elderly as a case manager. One of my clients called me to tell me she got her medical supplies. "The green and white truck" came but he left them on my TOP step of the porch. She could not get them in the house. She said she is glad it didnt rain because it would have got wet. This is also close to me and im betting it is the same lazy driver. 1 more step and it could have been on her covered porch. She is 85!!!!! I can not possibly tell you by writing how disturbing this is from a multimillion dollar business. I am doing all i can to get businesses to stop using fedex. Sometimes cheaper isnt the answer especially if you care about you customers.

      This complaint is against Fedex. Our package was scheduled to be delivered on 7/30/22. That day was my birthday, so, we weren't home. I'll give Fedex that, but, when my husband spoke to a representative, he was told that the package would be delivered on 7/31/22 before 1 pm. It never arrived. He called again about the issue and he was told that it would arrive before 9 pm. We had a party to go to, but, we found out that they never came by because there was no evidence of it like a door tag. The tracking number for this package is ************. We don't like when companies promise something and they don't literally deliver. Hope you can help with this issue and buyers beware of who you trust with your packages. We're never going to trust ours to Fedex because we're fed up!

      I paid for overnight delivery, first overnight of a perishable item. The shipping cost is $179.13 plus declared value of $300, a total of $479.13 which is on the attached FedEx receipt. My package was not delivered overnight, but was delayed 5 days and the product was ruined and worthless. I filed a claim with FedEX and they denied my claim or any reimbursement of my shipping cost for overnight. I am seeking lost value of what was promised.

      Dear Valued Customer: On behalf of FedEx we apologize for any inconvenience in regards to our service and the delivery of your shipment. This claim request has been reviewed and the claim has now been processed for payment as the receipt shows the merchandise value of $255.00 & we have requested a freight credit. Please allow 5-7 business days upon receipt of this payment via mail. FedEx would only honor the claim based on the supporting receipt not for the value as declared of $300.00. We sincerely apologize and hope to serve you more favorable in the future.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      It doesn't even cover the lost of overnight shipping dollars. Now, I have to go back and buy the product materials again and pay again for overnight shipping. This also doesn't factor in the time and effort of my lost or the dissatisfied customer on the other end of this shipping.
