“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!

These guys are running a fraud on their site. They will overcharge you through the nose once you ship with them. Don't walk away from them... RUN AWAY!

I received emails that a package I ordered was to be delivered 4/13 but they delayed shipment until 4/15 and then another delayed date! They screw customers over!

Tip for consumers:
Be sure you have a good sense of patience with companies like fed ex

Worst service ever I've moved to my apartment and I've been here for one month now my packages my furniture that has came through FedEx has become missing, opened and lost in transit. Now I'm trying to return my furniture back to the seller since I now have an incomplete set since FedEx lost parts of my furniture, the driver comes to pick up the package but because FedEx messed up and did not give him all the details. The driver then leaves without saying anything did not take any of the package that was scheduled to be picked up. He says he will call manager and be right back in a second and then runs off as I close my door to wait for him to come back. This was at 1:42pm driver never came back and I contact FedEx customer service line since it was 2:30pm and driver has not come back and they basically did nothing. They did not apologize for the inconvenience. They're telling me that I just have to sit here and wait until the end of the day to see if the driver comes back and basically said forget me, and it is what it is because the driver is still within the estimated pick up window time even though the driver already came here did not pick up the scheduled items that should've been picked up and just left without saying anything.

Ordered on Costco Online in Mexico. Delivery is by Fedex, It shipped from Mexico City on 30 January and arrived PV on 2 February. So far I thought it good service but it has sat in PV now for 4 days and FedEx propose that they deliver on 15 February, 9 days from now. It has to travel 45 km, so 14 days to travel 45 km on a 2 day delivery service sounds like a service that doesn't care for the customer

The experience at the store was ok, however despite being provided supporting documents with the exact content, my package was not received until 4th Aug from July 24th.I paid $131 for a package which I couldn't benefit from due to the delayed delivery. What was most disappointing was the UK office sent a letter asking for details of content(where is the urgency).They then called days after to ask for the same information. They wrote a letter instead of calling. Adding to all this, the number provided in the letter does not allow me to provide the information, it sends me to the online portal. This service level was a total mess. I needed the content urgently that's why I sent it via FedEx and NOT mail. I had to spend extra to obtain the contents due to this delay. The online portal is also frustrating. It tells you you are #20 in queue, so I waited for 48 minutes with my last position at #9 for about 23 minutes. Disconnected and tried it again and the same thing happened. Don't use FedEx if you want something urgently. Back to UPS I go. I am still very upset with FedEx and until now I can't find anywhere to report my dissatisfaction.

DO NOT USE FEDEX! You will regret it. There customer service is atrocious! I believe there head office is located somewhere in Malaysia, even though you call a number saying it's in your local country, you get transferred over there. They didn't understand what questions I was asking and unfortunately they were completely useless at resolving my issue. Emailing fedex? Wouldn't waste your time. Took them 2-3 days to reply and by that time it was too late for me. I
Tried to cancel my order but for some reason they sent my package without me giving final approval for it to be sent, they then slapped on all the customs, duties and taxes fees after they sent it. When I wanted to cancel my order they refused or didn't bother, they would reply saying 'its not our responsibility to inform you of the customs fees and we don't give you any pricing on how much it will cost', yet when they sent it from there facility they sent the fees straight away AFTER they sent it. Looks very dodgy to me and I think it is just a big scam $$$ for them to make some quick cash. I would question customer service on this and they deflected it or just talked nonsense about something else. I will never ever use fedex again! I have told everyone I know to stay away from this company, I know many people with big businesses that rely on sending packages, and have informed them about fedex miss trust and FRAUD, they will not be using there services ever again. Thank you for making me $300 out of pocket and I hope you get karma for the way you run your businesses and the way you treat your customers.

I ordered a book from Routledge, US to Canada. They shipped with right information of my home address. The book was scheduled to arrive in my Canadian address within three days. But, they delayed one day in the US facility without any reason. Then, they delayed one day in Canada. Then, the tracking information showed that the item was out for delivery and will be delivered within 3 hours. I waited at home to grab the book for five hours. Nothing appeared on sight.

Then, after 7 hours, the tracking information showed that the item could not be delivered due to incorrect address (though the address I provided to the book publisher was 100% correct.) Then, I contacted the customer service twice. Both times, the service agents could do nothing except begging apologies. They said the delivery item was returned because there was no street number. It was so funny because without having proper address why did they pick up the item to deliver and where were they trying to deliver.

The book was so important for an event, but it was missed. On the other hand, they did not allow me to pick up the item at the FedEx facility nearby my place (15 min drive). I never used FedEx before, and I will never use it's service again. I never recommend its service to anyone. Just live it, and use Canada Post that's way better and responsive. Very frustrating experience.

Tip for consumers:
Refrain from using the services of FedEx

I have a few packages that I for the life of me just can't receive from this postal company. I am seeing the status saying these items are delivered to the POST OFFICE yet when go to pick up item, ITEMS are NOT in the mail box & NEITHER WAS IT GIVEN AT THE DESK!

I NEED MY ITEMS ASAP!

I tried calling their phone number and not a $#*! Am I getting through! Emailing is another big problem cause I can't get an email address to contact company!

I messaged them on facebook, however, got a response and I felt like I was actually getting somewhere, BUT when went and picked up item, 2 items was found and 3 are still MISSING!

Tried messaging them yet again on facebook, and I yet to get a response!

I NEED MY ITEMS AND I NEED THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
I WANT THEM SHIPPED TO ANOTHER ADDRESS, ASAP!

They are such a logistical BONER I would never ship with them. Maybe they can ship a package to Germany and the Germans will buy their "it's late because it's so far" BS but when you can't ship a 4lb shoe box across 4 states in 8 days, you're just an incompetent loser. Quit hiring people with the same IQ as their age you Douche Bags.

I own the Duluth Candy Company and was expecting a delivery of chocolate on Thursday June 10th at my shop. The weather was 90 degrees outside, Fedex was going to deliver to my house, so we had to go through all the hoops of getting the address changed to the business, which FedEx did NOT want to do even though my business is 4 miles away from my home. Friday, no delivery, Saturday, no delivery. I checked the tracker for updates and it said expect delivery on Tuesday! Seriously? Tuesday! I attempted several calls to FedEx, there automated system is designed to keep you from talking to anyone! Finally the tracker update is saying expect delivery Monday. I have a considerable amount of money tied up in chocolate that has been sitting all weekend in there dam Warehouse in the heat!

My item was shipped from London to the USA. The package left the facility and traveled to Memphis Tennessee, where it cleared international import. A day later, my shipment went from "will be delivered on X date" to "pending". "The package has no contents" so magically my box, which left the facility with a good amount of weight in it, got to fedex import where they probably open packages and all of a sudden it's empty? It's not only this, it is the fact that they didn't even bother updating the tracking to "package will not be delivered" or anything. Just sat and waited. Even better, we paid for international priority ($$$) which YOU CANNOT GET REIMBURSED by the company. So they know they cannot fulfill their promises but will charge you anyways! Now we will have to submit a claim, which will probably take weeks as Fedex doesn't seem to care about their business or their customers only to have my wife's custom-made gift to be late (if we will ever get it at all); absolute trash of a company.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use FedEx! It's not even worth the headache.

I ordered a phone sim card for another service. Had it mailed 2day mail. Now it has been close to two weeks. Last I've found it chilling drinking a beer at the Bessemer Alabama facility for the last five days. I actually called them to check on it and they went straight to the package and said it has not been processed yet. Of coarse I said, YOUR STANDING RIGHT THERE BY IT. PROCESS IT. ( Sorry sir that's not protocol. Well FedEx, I got your protocol, and it's been a minute so why don't you come on down and SUCK IT

Every single time I get something through FedEx, it ALWAYS gets delayed. I never ship something with FedEx myself. Not to meantion this last time (today) I get a notification "incorrect address" it was 100% correct. I called up the 1-800 number and it took me forever to finally get to someone. Once I did I verified everything, then the guy said "okay I'll mark that it is correct and get it delivered." "So I should get it today?" "Nope, it's been rescheduled for tomorrow". So, not only did it get delayed two days, but it was already a replacement part from a warranty from an item FedEx delayed 3 days and threw it in the snow. The package is small enough to fit in my mailbox which was 20 feet in front of the driver, closer to them than my front door. Long story short I order an item, it gets delayed in Chicago 3 days, sits in snow and freezing cold for several hours because it got delivered while I was asleep and got the delivered notification hours later. The items battery was shot, and my replacement gets delayed 2 days in Chicago. And the driver didn't want to deliver it so he marked it "incorrect address", making me wait another day according to support, but my tracker now says Tuesday(today is Saturday). Originally shipped out of Oceanside California. If I could rate it a. 5 that would be my official rating. 0.5 stars.

Tip for consumers:
I have contacted my support representative from vessel letting them know what happened and that id recommended and requested that they stop their shipping with FedEx. That’s all I could do.

Package shipped 2-day on Nov9th has been sitting in Flint MI since 7:35am Nov 11th and as of 11:35 Nov 14th still has not moved for delivery. Forget talking with a live agent. I will no longer purchase anything that will use Fedex as a shipper. Its UPS or USPS from now on.

Had a new laptop computer to be delivered from them.
They put it on delay.
I'm sure they stoled the computer.
They don't care about the end user and they gave me a run around at customer service.

I WOULD NEVER YOU FEDEX FOR DELIVER AGAIN.
UNLESS YOU WANT THEN TO STEAL THE PACKAGE
