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.

You really need to filter people you hire for the phone customer support. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND their accents! This is ridiculous, they sound like a joke! It makes it really hard to get help, so either make them do online chat support only, or else, it DOESN'T WORK!

Hands down worse carrier
January 17, 2022

Awful, rude customer service. Don't waist your time calling them. Last time I called was told due to sender using sure post. They could not do anything about a missing package. If sender uses Sure Post be prepared to wait 3 weeks or longer for your item. There is also a good chance you might not get package at all. I understand there the cheapest shipping company around. As a profit of off merch I understand why companies use do to it, I would rather pay extra than deal with FEDEX. Companies think we will save money using cheapest, but in long run your losing. I try to stay away from any company that uses FEDEX as there shipper.

They lost my first package which I'm not sure how you even lose a 60 pound steel anvil in the mail. The second one that came looked like an animal tried to tear it open. Terrible company

Hey I realize they are busy and short staffed but really... leave packages right by the road? Drivers need to train to recognize a front door?

Every single time I get something through FedEx.
January 16, 2022

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.

I've had several interactions with Fedex over the past year - nearly all terrible. I don't mean the package arrived later than promised terrible. I mean package lost in transit or never delivered terrible. They blame the pandemic. Really? You've had two years to figure it out. But know. Worse than the Post Office and that's saying a lot.

What Do You Think?
January 15, 2022

In approximately a one-year period this is the service I received from FedEx; Four packages that were supposed to be delivered to me were delivered to my neighbors, I live in a condo complex. Two of those packages were delivered to me by the people that received them by mistake. The other two I never received. Another package that FedEx delivered was seen by my girlfriend on one of my neighbor's front porches. Most recently I received a package that was damaged. I filed a claim with FedEx that included pictures, they promptly denied my claim. I cringe everytime I see that FedEx is shipping an item that I purchased.

Well, if there was a lower rating than 1-satr, FedEx would get it from me! From lost/stolen packages, mutilated boxes upon receiving, delays in delivery, misinformation from multiple locations, unprofessional behavior and so on.
FedEx has completely lost a large item of mine that I shipped and according to their customer service, it was destroyed prior to delivery. Which makes no sense, since the box contained heavy metal item that are almost indestructible. Another package that I was receiving was at a facility approximately 4 miles from my house for more than a week and shows still there according to today's tracking. Verified this by calling customer representative on the phone and receiving the information they had and confirmed location of package. (In regard to the over the phone customer service, it was frustrating trying to get to a live person, but finally did and they spoke broken English and had noise in the background.) So I went to the location of where the tracking and the phone representative confirmed. Then I was told (rudely) that the package was taken from this facility to another facility 3 days ago in order to be ready for home delivery. Then this person just walked away. So I arrived at the other location (which is further away from the delivery address) to be told that the package is still on the semi-truck and won't be unloaded until the following day. (None of this was listed on the tracking of the package). The rep at this location just said there is no way to get the package at this time even though he claims it was there, but sitting on a truck, for what I assume 3 days since it was only 10 minutes away from the other location it was previously at.
To say the least, I will refuse to do business with businesses that use FedEx as a shipping method. UPS and USPS are so much better. Even DHL. How can Amazon (private delivery service) figure out how to deliver products in a reasonable time and have a better tracking system than that of a company specifically there for shipping?!?

Bad service
January 14, 2022

Instead of driving up driveway to deliver package, FedEx left package just behind the sidewalk. This is Not the first time this has happened but it will be the last. I will no longer deal with companies that use FedEx to deliver their products. Never had this issue from UPS, USPS or Prime.

The carrier was sitting outside my house, garage door open, and just put in that no one was home for delivery. It was sent ground, which could have been left without a signature. And she didn't come to the door. It was a heavy package and she was a short over weight woman. When I called customer service, I was told it would be delivered again that day... but the tacking said, it would be the next day. The carrier, was lazy, the customer service agent lied to get me off the line. I will never use this company again. Use the USPS!

For the last four days Fedex has given me the same message: Package will be delivered by end of day. It was in Tacoma at least four days ago. What is the problem? Put it on a truck and deliver it!

FedEx = Fail
January 13, 2022

FedEx has been a total FAILURE recently. I remember years ago I ordered a computer from Alienware, and I kept getting a "sorry we missed you" notice... Come to find out the delivery guy wasn't even making an attempt to deliver my computer. And that's what the "district manager" told me as he gave me my package (computer) that was almost a week late ("Overnight" was the selected service). Their recent failure got me a $100 Amazon credit (Humidifier delivery issue)... FedEx is the worst Shipper on the Planet (IMHO).

I tried to call FedEx to tell them my address IS valid and that I've lived here 32 years and paid taxes on said property. The driver leaves an 'excuse' daily saying invalid address. I tried calling to give directions but getting through to an agent is impossible. If my address is not valid, I doubt they will exert themselves any longer and return the package that had walking shoes I needed for a long weekend trip. I went, came home, and the package is still on the truck. Absolutely pathetic! Yet this delivery is better than the time when they threw six pairs of drapes out in the pouring rain at the end of my one-mile gravel road! A true story with pictures to prove it! Yes, I'm mad! How in he** is FedEx still in business? I didn't use their service, the shipper did.

Zero Stars

Every customer service person is unhelpful, uninformed and lacking any skills to help the customer. FedEx's phone routing system is ridiculous. Getting the right person on the phone to help is nearly impossible. If possible use any other shipping company other than FedEx!

Worst delivery company
January 12, 2022

With all the porch pirates out in the world. FedEx should know better and do better at hiding the boxes. I have a dead plant on My porch in December just so they can hide the packages behind. But nope they literally leave it sitting were the whole world can see and steal! You suck fedex driver!
