“FedEx Delivery: Swift Service with Some Shortcomings”

guillermo m.
5/1/24

My encounters with FedEx delivery have been a mixed bag. On the plus side, FedEx offers fast and efficient delivery services, often delivering packages ahead of schedule. Additionally, their tracking system provides detailed updates, allowing customers to stay informed about their shipments' whereabouts. However, there are areas for improvement. FedEx's delivery reliability can be inconsistent, with some packages experiencing delays without clear explanations. Furthermore, customer service responsiveness can vary, with some representatives providing helpful assistance while others offer less-than-satisfactory support. Overall, while FedEx excels in speed, improvements in reliability and customer service would further enhance the delivery experience.

“3 of 6 misdelivered”

Marion S.
9/9/24

Their deliveries are hopeless. I have no choice in using Fedex, Chewy ships with them. Not only do they misdeliver 50% of the time, but the times it does get here they left the package on the street in the weather and bait for porch pirates. Getting satisfaction, provided you have fooled the computer into letting you talk to a real person, with customer service is non-existent. We will let you know in 48 hrs they say. NOT. File a claim for restitution with the sender who will contact us they say, only takes six weeks. I have to do all the work, in short. Hopeless!

I sent a package via fed ex to another state it was to be delivered on Saturday. It was confirmed delivered however it went to street we believed it was ct not Lane. Called FedEx gave all info including where we thought package was. Day 2 man came to delivery address left note. I called FedEx gave his name and number. He did not return my call but told my niece he was not delivery person. Then refused to give his address or info. Day 3 I get a call from FedEx they are working on it. I said I gave you his name and number I was told it was a procedure they had to follow. Day 4 I call because no one called me all day. I found out they closed my case. I talked to agent and was furious. I tried to file claim they rejected. I called non emergency police line. My niece had to contact them which she did. The police got our packages in less then an hour what fed ex could not do in 4 days. I will never use them again. One item was broken but at this point I will replace. Do better fed ex you lost 3 loyal customers.

Fedex charges you almost 3 times with a promise to deliver your package next day, but it is not able to fulfill on it's promise. I feel one should not pay extra money to fedex for their lies. They can't able to track your package or say what's going on. Fedex don't guarantee anything, and they don't have any customer care to reach out. If you are lucky enough to pass their phone trap, you will still get automated answer from representative in a repetitive mode.

I have used FedEx exclusively for the last 4 years. I send boxes up north every few months. I have noticed that the clerks in the shipping stores like inside your local Walmart are great about giving out coupons for your NEXT visit. Problem is they do NOT give them to you when you go to ship. I had this happen with "Charlie" at a local store here. And it's happened more than just a few times. This time I sent a complaint into their corporate office and never heard a word. So, I will be changing to UPS. Not that much further away and I have had coupons in the past with them and they did honor them.

I ordered a package Saturday specifically because it was free 3 day shipping and I needed it ASAP. Was supposed to be delivered today. It's been out for delivery for the last 16 hours and now it's delayed. I called customer service and the agent could barely speak English let alone help me. Told him I'd never use FedEX again and his response was "have a nice day". Screw your service.

A package that was sent for Noon delivery today 12/18/20 which has been at the fedex office since 9 am is now going to be delivered Monday. There is no way to speak to a human about it due to their automated system hanging up on you. Time to boycott fedex. Use UPS or the postal service. Terrible service!

Always on time. That is exactly what they do.

I never have a delivery issue and everything is delivered as instructed along with a friendly driver.

I am just not too sure why every time something is delivered, FedEx sends me a delivery confirmation of my driveway.

We tried to order some shoes from France without success, because French web-stores refused to deliver to Finland. Bongo International service gave us solution to solve problem. Now my wife is more than happy.

Look my issue is with your routing of things via sydney where for months now you let things sit there for a week. If I'm paying a premium then I expect to have my stuff sent on the direct flight (which I know happens... someone from the same place to the same city sent 3 days after and received 4 days before). Stop routing things via sydney then giving an estimated delivery date you know will be way off, or just sort your $#*! in Sydney. You're insulting your customers by leaving their items in the depot there motionless for a week

Employee left a "How am I doing?" note upon delivery. She was great.
However FedEx site is so bad that I wasted 15min and could not find the page to rate her.
Also, their charges are so high that I always ask merchants if FedEx is used and refuse to purchase anything. This time I had no choice but when I do FedEx will not see my business.

If I only there were a way to give negative stars. I am appalled by my experience with FedEx. I will absolutely never willingly use this trash company. I am still awaiting a package that was shipped nearly 4 weeks ago, and it has been sitting in my city for nearly 3. Terrible customer service, lie after lie, extremely poor coordination, etc. I am exhausted. Save your money and use USPS. Never buy from a company that ships via FedEx either.

I shipped a package, clearly asking for express shipping. The woman at the counter assured me it would be deliver the next day, tops by the end of the day. Well, it's been nearly a week now and my package hasn't moved. I called multiple times client services but no one can give me a clear answer as to why my package hasn't been delivered yet. Mind you, the travel time where I wanted my package delivered is about 45 minutes away by car.
Never using FedEx again.

I have shipped and received lots and lots of packages with FedEx over the years and overall they are a great shipping company. Not to say everything has been perfect every time but if you do enough business with any shipping company there will be a few problems that arise from time to time. It just comes with the territory.

In my experience FedEx has the best record for being on time, (they are hardly ever late and when they are it's usually due to a weather situation, hurricane, tornado, etc. that is beyond their control) delivering to the correct address, and least amount of lost or damaged items of any carrier that I have dealt with. Now that the post office has switched to their insane dimensional weight pricing for all zones, making it far to expensive to ship anything of size with them, FedEx will get even more of my business.

As long as it's affordable I will continue using them for years to come.

Every time I receive a package from FedEx, it has been Crushed, mangled, or ripped open. I even had two generators delivered with Cracked or broken bases holding the generator it it's frame. Why does the government allow this garbage company to continue? They obviously don't like their jobs or they just totally disrespect their customers. IT"S JUST BAD BUSINESS! They should have their license revoked! This is how my last order was delivered. Plastic Shade visors for my Pickup windows. The cardboard box shows it was crushed by a heavier box!

Absolutely the most inept, stupid, Garbage azz delivery company without a doubt. Been waiting 4 days and counting for a package shipped 120 miles from my residence. It's actually been at the FedEx hub 6 miles from my residence for going on 60+ hours and counting. Just see my tracking photos. They're self explanatory. Absolutely PATHETIC! Should be negative 2 STARS

Fed ex truck backed into my yard twice and left deep ruts. I reported it, sent pictures, gave tracking number, did everything they asked to get reimbursed on fixing my yard. They kept sending Me the same generic message saying they needed
More info even though I sent it all. They had no intentions of doing the right thing.

Moved to my new place, I ordered over 30 items from Amazon. All of them delivered perfectly fine by different couriers. Only 2 items got into troubles, and both items delivered by FedEX courier!
- one of the items: after 2 weeks waiting suddenly I have received email saying your item undelivered and refund will be processed. I called AMAZON they do not know what happened!
- the other one: the delivery man rang the bell, I opened the door! Normally they bring them up to the flat door, but after 5 min waiting he didn't come and I went down stairs no parcel and nobody! After 2 hrs I received an email saying try to deliver and unsuccessful!

I live in a apartment and always neighbor take others posts/parcels, open the door! I was home and how un earth 2 items undelivered!?

Fedex team what you doing?
A bit of care please?
Communication?
You are terrible!

In the past two weeks only two out of seven deliveries have been ontime. They seem to sit without movement for long periods of time. Not sure what their protocol is for deliveries. Customer service doesn't provide any additional information beyond what you can see on the website.

FedEx is by far the worst delivery service available. I've had multiple packages in the past year shipped overnight and they never arrive the next day like promised. This ranges from small personal packages to large business packages. It never fails that FedEx doesn't follow through. In the same time period I've been getting cases of wine shipped from CA by UPS (30+ cases) and they are very consistent and almost always arrive on time.

Plus UPS will let me track the delivery more precisely and offers options when I'm out of town through their mychoice app. To put it bluntly FedEx sucks. Even the USPS is better at delivering packages. I won't willingly use FedEx until they change their practices. They've caused too many problems with late deliveries and they don't care at all because it keeps happening.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use FedEx overnight services, waste of money, buy 2-3 day delivery and you’ll get it in the same amount of time. Their also terrible at giving updates. I highly recommend UPS

I ordered some items on 12/4/20. I got a message that it's on the way via FedEx! The tracking number said it was going to be delivered on Friday 12/11/20. There has been nothing but delays after delays for a week! Now it's 12/18/20, I still have not gotten my package!
But I have been seeing FedEx trucks all throughout my neighborhood!

I have been expecting a package and paid for fast delivery. It has been three days and Fedex can not get me my package. Always with an excuse that they dial and no one open. It is like they are playing with client. The deliver guy does not even bother to wait for 1 min for the door to be open.
When you call them always same waste of time.
Worse company ever!

I shipped two packages together they got separated. Paid the over 800 to ship bowling equipment together for the 2 day shipping. One shows up a day late the other has yet to show up three days later. The tournament is over the bowler had use someone else's equipment because all of theirs were in the bag that I have yet to receive. Their weekend is ruined and I have to go home in a few days and still don't know where over a 1000 dollars worth of bowling equipment is. Even with a refund it won't take back how much better the bowler would of done with his own equipment. So thanks fedex for screwing what could've been 9 great games for them.

Absolutely horrible service. I ordered a rug and instead of leaving it at my front door
(as claimed) they dropped it at the end of the driveway, about 150 feet away. The rug was not only very heavy it was awkwardly shaped and pretty much impossible for a 69 year old woman to move. I complained to them but have gotten absolutely no response other than an auto-email. I'd never use them and I will be very unlikely to order again from a store that uses them.
