FedEx Reviews Summary

The reviews indicate a predominantly negative perception of the company's reputation, particularly regarding its delivery services. Customers frequently express frustration over significant delays, misdelivery of packages, and inadequate customer support, often describing the service as unreliable and unresponsive. Positive aspects are notably absent, with many reviewers highlighting a lack of accountability and poor communication from the company. This consistent pattern of dissatisfaction suggests a need for FedEx to address operational inefficiencies and enhance customer service practices to restore trust and improve overall customer experience.

Satisfaction guaranteed
December 11, 2015

I am very please doing business with Bongo. My packages are always on time and I am always able to track my packages until they are received. This is a highly professional service which has not disappointed me. I can always be sure that I receive what I ordered without any damage to the items.

This is a very dependable service.

I couldn't get through on a phone call when I had a concern. Called long distance at my expense - a dozen times and got a short message and a hang up, each time. Not impressed!
The cost of Bongo sending me my package was far greater than the expensive light weight, travel size pillow that I bought. Price of the service was far too expensive!
Was nice to have the service - otherwise I couldn't have purchased an American product and have it shipped to me. Would have been awesome! - if there was better customer service and a more reasonable cost.

For some reason@@@. Com decide to deliver a package using FedEx as a carrier, For some reason the "FEDEX SMARTPOST" took the smartest and cheapest / efficient way to deliver the package. The package travel from CA - NV - North Salt lake, UT - Denver, CO - less than 18 miles 23hrs to Henderson, CO located in Denver CO - FedEx Smartpost Salt lake UT- Back to North Salt Lake, UT. Calling the Costumer service was a enlighten since I was told by them that that was the most economic / Smart way for delivery. I wonder were they took their classes on economy since for me it looks like a waste of gas / time. But one have to love their costumer service, is never the driver made a mistake or the facility put the package in the wrong truck. Is always "sorry sir the smartpost system takes the most economic way to deliver the packages".

How do I fix this, well I contacted the seller and they have 1 day left to deliver, if not I get a refund and told them already that if they send another package using FedEx I will stop doing business with them. BTW the package is in UT and it need to be deliver somewhere in the mountains of Colorado.

Update:
From FEDEX SMARTPOST Salt Lake City, UT. Is back on the road to Henderson, CO and it took another day to arrive to FEDEX SMARTPOST Denver, CO. The package is touching each place that is being before and they have the right address.

Waste of time and money
November 20, 2015

I needed to get a laptop battery to Grenada in a rush and BongoUS looked like the solution. The cost was high but it would be quick. I checked their list of prohibited items and there was no problem. After Fedexing the battery to them overnight for $30 they told me they don't ship batteries of any kind. I asked why this wasn't on their website before I spent the money and they had no answer. They claim it is a Fedex policy however Fedex is the company that delivered it to them overnight. Now I have to pay to have it returned and then pay Fedex again to deliver it direct to Grenada. Bongo does ship laptops with batteries.

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!

What a Rip-off
November 12, 2015

I am astounded at the cost of shipping that they are charging me. I ordered 4 knit hats. And when I went on the site to look at what they were charging me to ship it ($5.00 box fee, $67.35 shipping, $7.07 fuel surcharge, $4.26 loss & damage, plus $33.80 duty & taxes) a total of $117.48. I couldn't believe it. So I called customer service, and was told by a very unhelpful Ismael that they have a formula they use so they can charge me a 10 pound weight for 4 knit hats. He had nothing to say when I said I will never use this service again. He just said that if the box was that big, than that was the charge. By the way the box is not large it is apparently 12"x12"x9.5". So before you use the service - decide whether it is worth it to pay HUGE shipping costs. My shipping is going to cost more than the actual product! Not happy, and won't use them again.

Best way for overseas shipping
November 8, 2015

Not every online shop has the option for overseas shipping.
That was perfectly handled by Bongo!

GREAT!

Five-star experience.
October 28, 2015

The service is seamless and efficient throughout the entire process - the customer is fully informed from the point when the goods have been received at the Bongo site to the point where the goods have been shipped out to the customer. In addition the photographic evidence of the goods on arrival at your site is reassuring to the customer in identifying that the correct goods have been posted/shipped by the supplier.

Good service
October 28, 2015

It is a good service but there is one seal compond missing of my last shipmnt.
Not sure if it is the seller's mistake or lost by the re-packaging in bongo.
It will be better if I can email a contact person at the bongo's warehose to check this issue.

Fast and Reliable
October 13, 2015

You can't get much further South than NZ! But bongoUS was able to deliver a day before ETA, which was fantastic. It was hassle free and being able to view and track goods location at any time even better.

I was pleased with the offered prices on the cds I ordered. But unfortunately a problem existed with my bank which has been corrected since. I had a very pleasant experience with Bongo International but I don't know your business. Are you selling anything? If yes, I would like to know what you are selling.

Previously bought items all the time from the US via Amazon and paid at most $100 for expedited freight. Ordered a number of items via a US company and they cost over $550 for Bongo to send a lighter smaller package with slower delivery times.

Bongo also try to "helpfully" add a customs and duty pre-payment of $150 which I removed as I knew the order value was well below that which customs would care about.

Parcels were repacked from original good packaging into crappy bongo box which had almost no protection. They damaged some of the items inside (and the items were made out of foam!).

Complete rip-off. Do not ever use!
