FEDEX INTL>>>LICENCE OF FEDERAL EXPRESS CO-OPERATION.

I went to a Fedex Kino's location to scan 2 documents. Had the worst experience of my life and came back seething. Here is the list of things that went wrong:

1. First of all, no signs anywhere stating where the scanner was. I had to hunt around the whole store till I found one.
2. When I looked at the prices, it was 40 cents per minute for the workstation with the scanner.
3. That workstation had atleast 4 different kinds of software for scanning documents, with NO instructions on which one to use.
4. 3 out of the 4 did not work, wasting my time and racking up the mins on the workstation.
5. When I asked a Fedex employess who came and sat at the workstation next to me, she told me to use the 4th one and looked at me as if "You should know that". which I obviously couldn't have known. Any software installed should be working, otherwise not be installed.
6. Thsi same employee acted annoyed, even though all she was doing was durfing the net!
7. Next I needed to get some passport photos taken. When I stood in line for 15 mins to get the attention of the customer service people, no one came to the desk and even though I could see some of them in the back, they did not even bother to come and ask me if they could help me with something.

I would liek to say they have lost a customer forever, but given that they are the only ones around that do all office document services around here. I don't know what my options are!

I HOPE FEDEX READS THIS!

I am incensed! I had a package 1st attempeted delivery on Nov. 5. On that evening, when I received the door tag after coming home from work, I immediately called Fedex to ask that the package be re-delivered on Saturday, Nov. 8. Well I was told by the rep on Nov. 5 that I would probably still have a re-delivery attempt on on the next day, Nov. 6, but that they will mark the package for delivery on Saturday Nov. 8. Well as the rep told me, Fedex did attept re-delivery on Nov. 6; they also attempted re-delivery on Nov. 7, despite my call to them. I called back again on Nov. 7 and explained that I called on the 5th, yet I still got a door tag on my door marked, "FINAL DELIVERY." The rep I talked to on Nov. 7 still insisted that I would get the package on Saturday Nov. 8, as I requested. Well, that did not happen. Sadly, at approx. 3:20 PM on Saturday Nov. 8, I called Fedex AGAIN, as it was getting late, and still no delivery. I was then informed that the package was not out for delivery, as it had been attempted delivery 3 TIMES! I explained that the point of my calling them on Nov. 5 was to ask that the package be re-delivered on Saturday to keep the driver from trying to deliver the package when I would not be at home. The rep that I talked to on Saturday informed me that the information never filtered down from customer service to the driver!

So, part two of this is I immediately ask to speak to a supervisor, and then I was transferred to Fedex's Customer Expierience Center in Cincinnati. I talked to Tina. Tina was nice, and after I explained this fiasco to her, she was appologetic. I asked her if the package could still be re-delivered for Tuesday Nov. 11, as it is a holiday, and I would be at home. She said that she would put it in the system, and she contacted the terminal to mark it for re-delivery on Tuesday Nov. 11.

Now it is Tuesday AM around 10:20. I decide to call fedex to confirm that my package is out for delivery. Boy was I met with a surprise. I was informed by a lousy rep in my terminal that the package, "would not be re-delivered because the driver already attempted delivery three times." I told the rep that I called last week to have this delivery scheduled, Fedex dropped the ball, so get this guy out here to do his job! Well, she told me, "Fedex drivers are independent contractors and they can refuse to deliver after they have attempted delivery.

So, to make a long story end...Fedex basically told me, "Yeah, we screwed up, but due to outsourcing, this is the best customer service we can provide. We can not make the driver come back out to your residence. The driver has told us that he had to walk up 3 flights of stairs, the boxes are heavy, his truck is now full and he is not re-delivering the package, even though it was our fault that the driver did not get the message that you called."

I guess I should become an independent contractor so I can tell my employer what I will and will not do! I now officially hate fedex. Big business in this country with all this damn outsourcing is out of control. No one is accountable anymore, and these businesses are so large that they really don't care what happens.

I was waiting all day for two FedEx packages today, October 24, 2008. Here are the tracking numbers:

[protected]

[protected]

My address is on a very large and well-known street in Chicago (Irving Park Road) and the building has very clear numbers above the door. I left a note downstairs to ring the top buzzer outside (which also has my name) or to call me (and left my number) and that I would come downstairs immediately.

I received the first package before noon. The driver called me before coming to the building (from a nearby address) and I met him downstairs. This worked out great.

The second package never came so I went to the FedEx web site to track it at 5:30pm where it said the following, "5:01pm customer not at home or business closed." I WAS AT HOME AND THIS FEDEX DRIVER IS TELLING LIES! HE NEVER EVEN CAME HERE TODAY. There was no note. They are supposed to leave a sticker or a door hanger, but there was nothing.

I called customer service and they very nonchalantly explained to me that I would just have to wait till tomorrow. So now I have to alter my plans and spend another whole day waiting for this package!

This is a horrible, horrible service. There is not even a complaint field at FedEx.com, anywhere on the site, for customer benefit and quality improvement. It is quite clear that FedEx does not care at all about its customers.

Fedex posted date on internet said would be delivered sat. Oct.25, 2008., called fedex and was told that package was on truck for delivery sat.. I missed work and stayed home for delivery.. Package was not delivered. Called sun. 10/26 & was told that no one was home for del. On sat. This is not true, I was home all day.,. Called monday still no package called fedex again to complain got noware like talking to the wall. Some one should be fired over this. My packages do not need signature the usual drop them off at front door. Also I was home all day. Fedex said no one was home, well why didn't he leave the package at the front door?
I lost a day work for some ones lie.

I spent the whole day waiting for my FedEx package today, checking the tracking number every couple of hours. Needless to say, it was important to me and supposed to have been delivered today, Oct 24, 2008. Last time I checked the tracking number was at 5:30pm and it said there was an attempted delivery (A LIE!) at 5:01pm, but that I was not at home! I left a very clear and simple note on the door - to press the top buzzer or call my telephone number. The top buzzer has my name on it. Nobody ever came; there was no note on the door. This driver needs to be fired. I then called and talked to some very ambivalent customer service reps: Stephanie Hawkins and "Miss Laquita" (would provide no other name, but said her agent number was 625533.) They both told me that the location that now has my package is closed (half an hour after this fictional "delivery attempt"), and that I would have to wait tomorrow. So I have to alter my plans and spend entire day at home. Or maybe another day after that should your lazy liar driver happen to want to duck out a little early to catch that happy hour! THIS IS HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE SERVICE. I WILL NEVER USE FEDEX AGAIN AND I WILL INSIST THAT MY PACKAGES, BOTH INBOUND AND OUTBOUND BE SENT USING UPS, DHL, USPS OR ANY OTHER SERVICE.

I got this messages in my e mail:
Greetings!

Draft of $535.000.00 (five hundred and thirty five thounsand United States

Can you do something about this scheme?

Fedex delivered my package today & left a sweet little door tag stating that they attempted to deliver my package, but no one is home so? Either pick it up or re-attempt to deliver tom. Let's rewind, I was taking a shower when i heard the doorbell (oops) i couldn't answer the door... that's when i notice the door tag & called the 800 immediately. Spoke to an associate & a reattempt will happen. Waited for 4 hrs, called FedEX, message of reattempt never processed. WHAT? Spoke to 2 more until the manager. Basically, all that i spoke to lied. Excuse-VILLE!

FEDEX INTL>>>LICENCE OF FEDERAL EXPRESS C

This was my first time shipping with Fedex. Disgusting... I went to drop off location Guildford Copy Centre 9965 152 St Surrey, BC V3R4G5 the lady there refused to help us and said you dont pay here. No payment no help and started watching video on computer. Putting me in a shock, International company Like fedex has appointed drop off location like these where there is Poor customer service and in name of customer service a rude and head off person attending costomers. Date Oct. 6th 2008 Time 1:45PM Aprox.

I was heading off to work, but I stopped to pick up my mail. I had my best friend, Niro with me, my standard poodle who was 31 inches tall. The mail had dropped, I had Niro on a leash . I went to pick up the mail, Niro spotted a pitbull loose across the street who the day before was on my property growling at me and my dog as i pulled my dog into the house. The next daywhen picking up the mail off the ground, Niro spotted the pitbull and pull the leash from my hand. My hands were weak from fribromyalgia and he took off so fast. By the time I turned my head and saw the Fedex van travelling fast, 40 miles per hour is the limit on the road, The Fedex driver hit Niro in the head and shoulder. The driver didn't stop as I screamed crying to stop! stop! help me!. repeatedly. I weeped in the middle of the road, trying to pick up Niro who weighed 65 pounds and was large. I quess there is alot to be said about an edrenaline rush. Yes, Niro ran into the street, but the driver who represents Fedex who takes such pride in their humanistic missions and donations really did a diservice to the human race let alone Fedex. He also lied on the police report stating that I stopped him and said to him " Don't worry, its not your fault, he does this all the time." What get Killed, run across the road?' He also said that he stopped, he didn't, only 2 blocks away, he wasn't in my sight, but noted on the police report that he did see me in the middle of route 70 and heard the screams.I can't imagine someone being so inhumane, not to assist in any way, shape or form. Such a disregard for life, for me and my dog, I certainly could have gotten run over, what was I to do? Leave him? I didn't know if he was still alive. To say the least I am not at all happy with the double standards of Fedex. I am following up, no it is not acceptable for the (human?) race to be so exalted from feeling any sense of compassion for one another. Critics that don't see the point of this need not to respond. I work for a State Forensic facility with people that have committed the most horrendous crimes, even they eventually take responsibility, I hope Fedex does, it is no different than losing a family member. He was also my therapy dog, as I have seizures.b

We had a meeting overseas (Berlin) for which our team had prepared a large amount of meeting materials that took 2-3 months to complete. The client for whom these materials were for was our biggest account and as as production manager, I was overseeing the project.

$15K worth of print matter was sent via FedEx International Priority. Based on the shipment size, contents, destination, etc., I was told guaranteed delivery within 3 business days. Now, I realize that when you're dealing with customs, all bets are more or less off, but I was ssured by the agent that I spoke to that if I had the proper paperwork and there were no major delays in transit, no hold up should occur and that if one did, it was built into that 3-day window.

I checked the tracking hourly once it went out. Everything was fine. Only 2 days after we sent the shipment off, the site reflected that all boxes had cleared customs and were in transit to the local facility in the destination area. Great! Shipment on target to arrive that evening. I called sometime later to check the status over the phone and got the same message--in transit. That raised a red flag because it had been in transit for an awfully long time. When I called, I was told that not only had the shipment not gone to the facility, but that it never actually left customs. The website had an error, I was told. And amazingly, the CSR admitted that the automated tracking service through 800-GO-FEDEX is not reliable.

After much back and forth and lots of folks unable to asnwer my questions, I figured out that the lead package cleared customs on the morning of the second day and was sent off to Berlin...and the other 18 stayed in Frankfurt. Why they wouldn't release the other ASAP after that is beyond me, but unfortunately they just sat in a facility. No one called me despite my having listed my telephone number and having written special notes to PLEASE inform me if there were customs d elays. Then on the third day, the lead package was sent BACK to Frankfurt to be with the other packages. Why, I can't understand.

Well, I thought, okay, I still have Saturday as the meeting is Sunday and Friday was the 3rd business day. So it'll be a rush, but it'll slide in under the door. No panic. Sorry! FedEx facility is closed on weekends! So the shipment will be delivered Monday evening at the earliest. Yeah. That'll be a great help when the meeting is over and I'm out of a job.

The CSR folks were just awful. Every person had a different answer for me. No one seemed remorseful. No one could tell me why I hadn't been called when the shipment missed its "guaranteed" deadline. No one could explain why the FedEx tracking system had errors. No one could explain why the 19 packages needed to stay together if all had copies of the original waybill and all had cleared customs. No one could explain why they got separated in the first place. Just a lot of run around and promises to "investigate."

LUCKILY what saved my ### was my customs broker who drove 5 hours from Berlin to Frankfurt to retrive the shipment (who also had not been called despite clear instructions to do so in the even of delay). Honestly, if they hadn't done that, I would probably have gotten fired...doesn't matter how good the job looks unless it actually gets SEEN by people and utilized as intended, and it doesn't matter this this screw-up wasn't my fault, or that the client took their sweet time finalizing the work and ignored my numerous reminders of deadlines.

So, I'm DONE with FedEx. I should've known better and used DHL or UPS as I'd heard that FedEx isn't great but I just figured, well...it's FedEx! They're the best, right? Incidentally, I had 6 boxes of CDs made and sent to Berlin directly from the vendor via UPS and despite those being sent BACK to the States because of an issue with customs once they'd arrive in Germany, they STILL arrived by the 3rd business day.

Per usual, I have had nothing but headaches in using the FedEx service. For two days there has been NO ATTEMPT to deliver the package xxxxxxxxxxx as requested. Tracking the package online states that deliveries were attempted, but I personally being here on both days can honestly say there were not at any point and time any attempts to deliver said package. I spoke with the duty manager Curtis McDonald who was absolutely useless along with the rest of his staff. Although the faulty link in the chain clearly lies somewhere within FedEx, there was no commitment or concern from Curtis McDonald or his staff to rectify the problem.

I wasted two full days away from work waiting for the package to be delivered. Now I must return to work and IF they decide to deliver the package (which I doubt considering there were no attempts thusfar) I won't be there. I requested that because it was THERE mistake that I had not received the package that in order to rectify the problem I would now need the package shipped to my office. They refused to help. I tried to explain to them that I pay for the service, they deliver the parcel, I receive the parcel. Typically that's the way it goes. However I repeat there has been NO attempts to deliver the package nor were there any doortags left indicating that there had been an attempt. Somewhere along the lines the process broke down within FedEx, but they are not willing to own the problem.

Again I've had multiple problems with using the FedEx "service" and it's a shame that a customer pays for prompt service but receives absolutely NOTHIING in return. I don't care what it is that I purchase next online, if it's shipped via Fed Ex I can do without the item. Nothing is worth putting up with this companies incompetence, unreliability and unprofessionalism.

(Cut and pasted from an email I'm sending to Fedex right now).

Hi XXXX,

My name is XXX XXXXX. I just had a bad experience with Fedex that I would like to relay to you. Apparently VXXXXX, the residing manager at the Dawson St. office in Burnaby, has already spoken to you about this, but I'll give it to you again in my own words.

1) I spoke to a Fedex agent on the phone to tell them I was shipping a package. I told them the contents of my package, and that it needed to be delivered overnight to L.A. I told them there was a hard drive in the package, but the agent did not tell me I had to fill out an FCC form. (Mistake #1) The agent DID email me a Commercial Invoice, so I would imagine he was supposed to send me an FCC form.

2) A Fedex courier picked up my package yesterday (Sept. 15th). He saw the contents of the package, but did not issue me an FCC form. (Mistake #2). Today, the same courier apologized for not knowing. He was the first, and only, person, to actually apologize and admit that Fedex did anything wrong.

3) Today (September 16th), I received my package BACK at my doorstep, with a note saying that I was not home, so the package would be delivered again tomorrow, to my door. I called Fedex and they said that packages should not be returned like this - the Fedex office should have contacted me and told me that a form was missing (Mistake #3).

So my package, which was supposed to arrive today in LA, was driving around in Vancouver in the back of a truck.

Because I could not contact the Dawson St. office by phone (no Fedex agent would give me a number), I biked to Dawson St. in Burnaby. No one there was apologetic, or even remotely helpful. They said "the package MIGHT get to L.A. by tomorrow, if the truck gets in on time. Obviously, this was unacceptable to me, so I got them to contact the truck. I biked 25 minutes BACK to my house, where the truck dropped off the package, then biked BACK to the Dawson St. office with my package, and finally got the package shipped.

During this entire 5-hour escapade, I did not have a single person offer me a solution on how to rectify the problem. I had to come up with solutions myself. Even more maddening: not a single person (except the original courier) apologized or would admit that Fedex had done anything wrong. In fact, the first thing out of the Dawson St. agent's mouth was "Fedex is not responsible for how international forms are filled out." The manager in charge, Vxxxxxx, was lackadaisical, and more interested in hiding back in his office than helping me out.

Seeing as I spent the last 5 hours fixing Fedex's mistakes, biking all over town, I asked Vincent if Fedex would waive the fee for this shipment. He declined.

This tells me that Fedex is

a) Not willing to admit when it has made a mistake.

b) Not willing to put out a measly $60 to repair an obviously distraught costumer's relationship with their company. (Even paying half, $30, would have made me feel like someone cared).

c) Not interested in maintaining an image of a reliable, or caring, company.

Vxxxxxx said that he spoke to you about this, and that you agreed - Fedex would not help pay for this shipment. I would like you to explain your feelings on this situation and please explain to me why you didn't think it was worth it to help me with the shipment, after having made numerous mistakes, and taking up my entire afternoon with fixing your own company's mistakes.

I am forwarding this to general complaints as well, but I hope to hear from you personally within the next couple of days.

Twice I have found a ticket on my door saying no one was at home to sign for a package. I have a handicapped daughter who's bed is less than 10 feet from my front door and everyone else who delivers here we have no problem hearing them at the door. It appears the Fed EX guy just sticks a note on the door, maybe he didn't want to get wet as it was raining. This is not the first time this has happened. What are the chances of getting a delivery man that is willing to do his job? ALso the note I received said he was here at 1:07p.m. The e-mail I received said he was here at 12:20p.m. He can't even keep his lies straight.

I have had horrible experience with FedEx every time my package was shipped through FedEx. They would not have any fixed time of delivery and they will put a stupid door tag number. You can call them up to see if they can tell you the time when they are going to deliver the package, but they say that they don’t do that. I mean u can’t leave your work and stay home whole day waiting for the stuff to arrive. They expect you to sign the receipt they leave at the door and but they will tell you that if the stuff is stolen and lost, it is not their responsibility. It is specially a problem in big cities where one house has hundreds of apartments. They don’t have the key to the house and they will put a sticker outside the house and expect you to leave the stuff outside so that anyone walking by can take the stuff and leave.

After three attempts they will send your stuff back. That’s horrible. From this point I am not buying from the websites who sends the package through FedEx.

This is an e-mail I sent today to FedEx:

After many e-mails and phone calls, in which representatives were nasty and said they would not pay any claim, indeed, the last representative we spoke to said because you have no record of the package -- it was not scanned by whoever picked it up! -- that there was no box to scan. We *did* put the box into the drop off box outside the post office on MacDonald Avenue, in Brooklyn. Another theory is that the package was opened because we wrote "do not overheat" on the address label, because it contained chocolate as well as other items, and the contents could have been taken, eaten by your employee(s). One representative responded to this by saying you don't employ thieves, the inference being that we are lying about having sent the package. This is shameful and outrageous on the part of at least two different representatives. When we asked the second rep. for his name, he hung up.

I understand that there may be cameras outside the post office and it is my intention to check and see if there is a visual record to counteract your opinions that we are lying about sending the package.

If we are lying, why would we fill in an address label? I also understand that some new FedEx employees do not scan packages when they're picked up.

As to not employing thieves, well, you employ people and I intend checking various places on the internet to find other people who have lost packages sent by FedEx, and I will add my own experiences wherever and whenever I can, including friends, and various websites and blogs. I have not ruled out small claims court and if, as I believe, there are many others whose packages you have lost, I may initiate a class action suit.

Be advised, also, that we have not yet put in a claim, so all this nastiness is doubly insulting. Given that the amount involved is a mere $30-50 is it likely we would spend all this time trying to get FedEx to acknowledge culpability?

Shipped a total of 3 cases with Fedex to Las Vegas for a show. All cases included audio/video and computer hardware needed at a large show. These same cases have been measured, built and custom ordered specifically for this broadcast equipment, since this is my business and lively hood. Also, these exact same cases have been shipped already numerous times with the same configurations or equipment inside to Las Vegas, New York and locally within Florida. I paid for full insurance of the equipment, packed this myself in my custom made cases (Anvil Wilson Cases). These special crates/cases have plenty of foam and cushion inside to prevent any damages to the equipment. I had one case with two flat panel monitors, additional foam and pop-up foam between both monitors for protection. I opened that case in Vegas and the back leg of my Apple monitor was completely ripped apart. Finger imprints on the monitor so the monitor screen itself got damaged by somebody that tried to rip this monitor out of the case. I managed with duck tape and good eyes (sight) to get threw the show. Came back and started my claim. Somebody came and took pictures, explanations of how everything was packaged etc. approx. 2 weeks after I started the claim. 3 weeks after he came and took the report I got a call from somebody that couldn't tell me anything else but the "claim was denied". I asked for a manager and got to talk to Susan yesterday. Supposedly she "looked" into the case and report and again, also told me, that the claim is indeed denied because of a "lack of packaging". These cases are built only and specifically for this equipment. Somebody dropped or tried to rip these monitors out of the case and my claim is still denied. I asked her what I could possibly do next, this is my business, my small business and my lively hood. Not Susan's who works for Fedex claims where, it seems reading all these complaints online, ALL FEDEX CLAIMS ARE DENIED! Susan's advise was to write to the CEO, Mr. Dave Bronsack, directly, but since she supposedly reports and works directly under him or with him on these claims, I doubt that Mr. Bronsack, the CEO of Fedex, will have another solution for my claim. My damage is a $1, 200 monitor for which I paid almost $500 to get this case shipped back and forth. What can I do next?

I paid over $200 dollars for my brand new cell phone. Instead of redelivering it to my house, they decide it would be a good idea to leave it way down the street with a neighbor i have never meant. I am so pissed! So now the courier is going to come to their house tomorrow to try to retrieve the package. I walked down there and they won't answer their door, the lights are on and i know someone is home and they won't answer. This wouldn't have happened in the first place if FEDEX would follow delivery instructions and deliver to only the person on the account. I HATE FEDEX!
