FedEx
Reviews and Complaints

My home is 300 feet from the road. My problem is with a new young driver who drops my items out at the roadway and they are stolen in an hour or two. Driver claims I have a gated driveway. There is no gate, never has been. For decades, I've had all orders dropped at my home. Never any issues. I have called customer service and the dialect is a struggle to swim through. They don't really care about my situation.

After my latest complaint was verified, I received a text telling me that my item was delivered and that I need to contact the merchant for a refund for stolen items.
Well, the only reason it was stolen is because the Fedex Driver left it out at the roadway... what do you think is gonna happen when this driver shortcut is applied? Also, if its raining, he never uses a plastic bag to protect my items. The thieves are getting rain damaged goods.

I'm sure this will not be corrected. Nobody seems to care at Fedex anymore.

We just got our address a year ago and live 1.5mi off the main HWY and we temidly placed an order of which was supposed to be delivered to us, but was delivered at the HWY. When we reported it wasnt delivered to us FedEx did re-emburse us but it was a custom order and we were still out our items and wanted them more than the re-embursment! The driver asked us if we could meet her at the HWY... Well isnt it customary to have a packedge delivered to your address? and when you pay for it? On our 2nd order we looked more carfully... it was put under a tree, again at the HWY and not at our address and wasn't even txt this time it was even delivered. Is the female driver on my route lazy? I'm only 1.5mi off the HWY! Now FedEx overnight and UPS seem to have no problem driving the 1.5mi to my door. How can we get this female driver to accuatly deliver to us?

I have a package arriving tonight. I absolutely need it or my truck will not run and and emergency came up and no one will be home. I cannot get ahold of any damn customer service to let them know to leave the house hung on my doorstep. I have a neighbor who will grab it after and hold it for me. This is absolutely needed. I will go elsewhere if u must

Driver with Sprinter Van, PA license ZVT-2562 within 5 minutes exhibited tailgating, Speeding (at least 15 mph over limit), Using right turn lane to get ahead of traffic (at Butler Pike) and proceed straight, and to top it off a left turn on RED (at Pennlyn-BlueBell Pike)! All on Morris road Montgomery county PA near Ambler on 1/13/23 at 3:45 PM. What more do you need to hear. This driver is a decision away from causing an accident. Should not represent a company with logo on vehicle. Terrain or release.

Tracking # [protected] 15
This package was supposedly delivered to my home at 114 Hamilton Tavern Rd on 1/9/23 at 11:45AM according to tracking info online. On 1/10/23, late afternoon, I received a phone call from Carrie Blake, who lives on Lake Hill Rd saying that she had found a package on the side of Lake Hill Rd, not even near a driveway. She picked it up, saw my name and phone number and called me to say I could retrive it from her. So, thanks to a woman that lives almost a mile from me, on a different road, I do have my package.

On two other occasions, Fed Ex has dumped my package in the snowbank at the end of my driveway, which is not visible from my house. No door tag, alerting me to the delivery. One item was large and heavy, a Teeter Inverter machine, valued at $500. The other package was $200 worth of steaks from Omaha Steaks, which we discovered several hours after it had been dumped.
What in the world is going on with your employees? Parker used to be our delivery guy and he was great, but these guys are doing no service to your customers or your company.

Hello

I’ve been doing business with FedX for many many many years and I will now part ways, discontinue use, cease shopping at companies that use them, due to the incompetence and laziness of a driver or drivers on my route. It is the worst service I’ve ever received in my life. They leave my packages everywhere and anywhere resulting in broken items, smashed or soaked boxes or never received items, boxes thrown into bushes damaging not only the box & contents but killing the bush they’re thrown into, if they ever get to me at all! The unfortunate persons who end up with my boxes at their door have thrust upon them the sudden job of dragging my sometimes heavy, awkward shaped boxes to my home in all sorts of weather without the benefit of being paid for their services. It is embarrassing to me (I am handicapped) and unfair to them. UPS and USPS have no problems or trouble finding my home. And there is GPS. I’ve spent precious phone time and this has attributed to undo stress with no results. I refuse to have FedX causing my neighbors further inconveniences and stress with x results. I refuse to have FedX causing my neighbors further inconveniences and stress.

Thank you for your time
Thank you and goodbye.

My products were supposedly delivered on December 30th, they evidently were delivered to the wrong home, because I do not have them. Chewy did an investigation, and could not find my packages, and I have been unsuccessful in getting any help whatsoever from FedEx. I need my packages, I have filed a formal complaint against FedEx in the past. I am disabled, I need my packages delivered to my house. Just cannot understand how stuff gets dropped off at the wrong house. It's unacceptable.

We purchased art at an art auction in November and was looking forward to having it delivered today (January 8, 2023). We received an email stating it was delivered this morning at 9:29AM. It was not at the front door as the email stated. Further, a photo showing "proof" was attached. The photo was blurry and showed concrete with a small object on the corner...not sure what it was, but not our package. The driver clearly was lazy. I immediately contacted Fedex to get them to message the driver, but they refused...saying they're not allowed to contract the driver. I completed the report and will contact the Art Dealer Monday. We live in Land O' Lakes, Florida. Fedex clearly does not care. They used to be a really great company, but no more! I have attached a photo "proof".

According to FedEx tracking, my order [protected] was scheduled for delivery on Friday 12/30.

I took that day off so I could be there to receive the package — it is no longer safe to leave packages unattended in any neighborhood.

My order went on a truck for delivery on Friday 12/30 early in the morning — I waited all day and no delivery attempt was made.

I started calling and complaining on Saturday and continued to call throughout the next week.

At first I was told that an attempt was made on Friday that was unsuccessful — this was not true, I was there all day.

Then the story shifted — the package was simply delayed and sitting back at the hub. This was a lie to get me off the phone, tracking still showed that it had never been scanned off the truck. This lie was repeated throughout the next two or three customer service calls.

Around this time, I was told that a case was being opened and that I would be contacted that afternoon by a case handler that would assist in finding my package — I never got a call back. I got an two emails two days later saying my case had been opened and closed. No one contacted me and I still had no idea what the outcome was with my package.

On 1/5/23, I finally reached a customer service rep that admitted the package was lost — she apologized for all the confusion and promised that a supervisor would be looking into the chain of bad customer service and would be contacting me to resolve the issue and show that those who had been responsible were being held accountable. It is 1/7/23 and I have yet to hear back. It seems it was another strategy to get an unhappy customer off the phone.

Now, Adidas is making me wait until Tuesday the 10th to initiate any refund from FedEx, because FedEx tracking still shows the product on a truck instead of stating that it is lost.

Both FedEx and Adidas refused to contact each other to clear up the issue and expedite the refund — they have both decided that this is my job to make all the phone calls and that my time does not matter to them

Is there any body at either of these businesses with the power and know how to break out of this cycle of terrible customer service. I just want my time and money back. I didn't pay 250 dollars for two pairs of shoes so that I could lose thousands of dollars worth of my work time waiting for deliveries and making complaint phone calls.

A real resolution would be great

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am disappointed with custom duty handling charge by FedEx unilateral decision.

Note; I refuse to accept the item until the matter resolved.

If tax incurred, FedEx should advise me to own handle custom clearance and collect at custom or FedEx does on behalf as usual.

Note; I have paid for delivery, and will pay the tax only if incurred.

Regards,

Te

I received a text message on my phone yesterday that I would receive this Fed Ex envelope by noon today from Canada. This envelope contained a new Canadian passport so it was an important delivery for me. This delivery was going to be happening at my home address in Miami...Unfortunately, I was in central florida (3 hours away) on a job and no one was going to be home to receive this package when the delivery took place. So, I called Fed Ex to investigate into the options I had available to resolve this issue. First, let me start by saying that getting a live agent on the phone took me 5 attempts. Each time, the automated computer system kept telling me, regardless of what option I chose, that NO CHANGES were possible where this delivery was concerned and that no live agents were going to be able to assist me. I had to trick the automated answering system into getting me a live agent. When I finally reached an agent, I was told that: 1) no change of address was allowed in this shipment, I was also not allowed to request to pick up my envelope at a Federal Express location, nor was I even allowed to request a delivery on a different day or time. I ended up driving 3 hours to try and be there for the delivery only to then receive a text message that the delivery would now be taking place in the afternoon of that same day. Then, hours later, after several more phone calls were made in an attempt to to speak to a live agent and get more information, I was told that the tracking information on their website is very generic/incomplete and, in fact, the shipment would not be delivered that day due to a flight delay of some sort. Here we are at the end of the day, and I still have no package...nor do I know if it will be delivered tomorrow...Mind you I drove 3 hours to make it on time to receive this envelope. (tracking#: [protected]). No one seems to care in this company.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to pick up this envelope at a Fed Ex location with my identification in hand. That way, i don't have to sit at home as a prisoner waiting indefinitely for a package that has no specific delivery date as of today.

I now have to go to Cleveland Clinic once a year. Last May Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland OH, gave me a box with a return label so I could send them a stool sample. I went to my local Fed-Ex, Wellington Oh, that is in the Dollar Store to return my sample. They told me they could not accept the return label Cleveland Clinic had given me.

I'm getting ready for my trip this spring and this morning I phoned Fed-Ex customer service to ask for a location close to me that would accept the return label. Well, let me tell you! That was the worst experience I've had in a very long time!

I was unable to be connected to a 'person' and was ask each time why I was calling. I tried and tried and then Fed-Ex ended my call!

Dear Sir

I had booked one packet through Global India and in turn the packet was sent to FedEx on 08.12.0222 and since then it is lying with "FedEx New Delhi, DL, India at local FedEx facility" I am writing repeated mails, but no satisfactory reply received from Fedex nor Global India.

You are requested to look into the matter and arrange to get it ship to US OR arrange to send it back to sender please.

I Faxed some very important pages from this facility on 1/4/23. I called the recipient to make sure they received the documents since they were very important. They informed me that the pages only had partial information and many points of high importance were not scanned. I then called the FEDEX Office 4525 S. Florida Ave Suite 2-5, Lakeland, Fl. 33813.

I spoke to Eric the manager as I was told. He thought it was good enough to refund just a part of the cost. I am NOT satisfied that the total amount was not refunded. I checked and to this point even the partial refund was never entered into my account. Not only did I waste my time with inferior equipment, but I then had to find another location to send my important fax.

BADDD Customer Service.

BADDD Equipment.

Lose your money and your time!

The drivers consistently deliver my packages to the wrong address. I have talked with them, filed a formal complaint and to no avail. The receivers swear they did not receive my packages, so they keep them. I need this RESOLVED! By the grace of God today I was off work and able to run around the corner to request my package and she had no choice. Next time I will file with the local police department and FedEX. The papers today are critical and contained my SS number! I've grown weary of this problem!

I even state clearly under delivery instructions: Deliver to street and not place! This is insane!

Was supposed to receive a package that required signature by January 04, 2022.

December 30, 2022

Received a message that the package would be delivered today. We stayed home to sign for the package. The package never arrived. Received a message that the delivery was attempted but failed due to no one home.

Here is the exact message.

"Customer not available or Business Closed. Recommended action: Delivery will be re-attempted the next business day."

Another attempt would be made the next day, 12/31.

December 31, 2022

The package never arrived. Received a message that the delivery was attempted but failed due to no one home. We called customer service and they said that another attempt would be made 01/02. They also noted that a door tag wasn't left at the residence, which we knew already, and they would make note of this and look into it.

January 02, 2022

The package never arrived. Received a message that the delivery was attempted but failed due to no one home. We called customer service and they said that another attempt would be made 01/03.

This time the representative explained that the package had arrived earlier than expected, however a delivery had not been attempted yet due to the excessive holiday volume.

I would like to know, if the delivery had not been attempted, why we are receiving messages that it will be attempted and why we also receive messages that that it Was attempted but we were not available.

This is extremely frustrating for obvious reasons.

There is obviously something wrong with the automated messaging system and FedEx.

Shipment #[protected]

1) Picked up at origin in the U.S. 12/20/2022

2) Arrived in Cologne, Germany 12/22/2022 within 36hrs

3) Stayed in Cologne station until 12/27 with nothing happening whatsoever

4) 12/28: customs delay. Fedex forgot to put this item on the customs list (wtf?!)

5) 12/29: customs clearance finished. Good job.

6) 12/30: local fedex truck out for delivery.

Driver claims to have tried delivery with nobody here - which is a lie.

4 Persons were here all day and we have cameras on our premises and can prove no Fedex delivery took place

7) Shipment now postponed til after New Year, more than 2 weeks after it was picked up.

-> instead of 2day internal service, we get something like 2weeks service from Fedex.

Service not helpful, only chatbots and an unmotivated "Mehdi".

Horrible experience.

Will most certainly never use this service again.

My name is April Rogers and I have been receiving calls from a FedEx Employee who claims to be holding a package from a lotto winner from Facebook and keep calling me from a 916 number stating that if I pay him the money he'll release my packages even went as far as sending me a picture of himself along with pictures of where I live and I'm reporting this incident to your office and also crime stopper and the police because this is very scary that this person knows where I reside and continuously calls me and send text messages. I have no idea who this person is but it needs to stop he claims his name is David Jones he also states that the only way I can get this package is to pay him.

A surprise gift, from a friend, was delivered on Tuesday December 27, at 3:16pm. The driver was too lazy to bring it up to my front door and ring the door bell...because he was too lazy to walk up my long driveway.

I didn't see the package until 2 days later (!) when I went out to run an errand which was at 3:15pm on Thursday. The perishable box sat at the end of my driveway for 2 days!

This is the second time in a month that I got a piss-poor lazy delivery from I'm guessing the same driver. A few weeks ago s/he left an expensive book by my mailbox. I didn't see it until the next day and anyone driving up/down my street could have stolen it. (All USPS and UPS drivers put my packages at either the front door or by my garage doors.)

I was notified that the shipment was held up in customs. They notified me that there was a clearance delay. They never told me what I needed to do to clear it. When I finally figured it out, they said it was too late and the shipment was being sent back. Both the shipper and I reached out to Fed Ex not to ship it back, to no avail. I am SO disappointed in Fed Ex. Really poor communication on what I needed to do to get the shipment cleared. Now I am out of over $2000 worth of goods, not to mention the business lost by not having the goods. I am hesitant to use Fed Ex ever again.
