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.

Let me start off by saying that I work in the shipping industry. I work for a very well known LTL Freight company so I am very familiar with all of the issues involving delivery services right now. What I don't understand is how FedEx can show my package our for delivery on a truck for 7 days ans still never deliver. I called customer service yesterday and after being on the phone for over an hour saying customer service over and over again to the stupid automated system I was finally able to speak with someone. The guy that I talked to was a complete moron. I explained the situation and all he kept repeating over and over again was I'm sorry please reach out to your shipper and have them call us. We'll I did that for 3 days in a row and FedEx kept assuring my shipper that the shipment was out for delivery that day. Because every day the package shows out for delivery the shipper is not willing to refund me or send me a replacement because they are only seeing what FedEx is showing that its out for delivery. So it looks like I'm out money and my product. Not sure where to go from here.

Horrible
December 10, 2021

I placed an order 2 weeks ago. They have delayed my package 3 times. Their tracker says it was on the truck yesterday out for delivery. No package. It was due for delivery over a week ago. Call customer service and talk to someone in other country that says he can assure me the website is lying and it was never on the truck. No delivery date set.

FedEx Ground
December 10, 2021

FedEx Ground is like the USPS, Your package may never get delivered. I would put the USPS ahead of FedEx now on service. FedEx Ground employees are like "We don't care" all the time. It's sad that FedEx will not do something to fix the problem. That is what happens when you get too big. Good service stops.

Worst delivery service of all!
December 9, 2021

FedEx has got to be the worst delivery service to ever exist! They consistently change delivery dates without warning or reasons. 2 day deliveries (isn't that where "Express" is supposed to come from?) turn into 2 weeks with no explanation. Every time you check the tracking number, either it says delayed or another date comes up. This happens multiple times before you ever get a package. Then I have had cases where during bad weather (rain and snow) the driver parked at the end of a 300 foot driveway and threw the packages by the mailbox where every car that went by completely coated the packages in rain or snow. They never leave a message saying where they leave it, so by the time I have discovered where it is, I am at the end of the drive and end up carrying it to the house myself. EVERY OTHER delivery service including Amazon bring the packages to my covered porch with no problems. Why can't FedEx do the same? As I write this (12/9/2021) I am currently waiting on a package whose date has been changed multiple times in the span of just a few days. Extremely frustrating! Unfortunately, when you order online you quite often do not have the choice of the delivery service and I literally cringe every time I see FedEx as the service! With all these other complaints, you would think they would take the hint! I would never choose to send anything using their service.

Once again Fedex is incompetent!
3 packages sent out same day from PA to Northern Colorado. 3 day express. All were scheduled for Sunday. One was delivered Tuesday. One was here Wednesday and 3rd suppose to be here Sunday, Tuesday than the never ending pending.
I got updated it was in Thorton Co at 6am Wed. Pending.
Now guess what? Friday delivery and package is in Utah!
Really from an hour away to Utah?
Will it really be here Friday?
So much for paying $10 for a 4.99 package on last Thursday for maybe a Friday delivery.
I already had to get on the shipper since they are short staffed and can take 2 wks to send out.
Now this!
Nothing like paying interest on credit cards for a package for 3/4 wks and not even have it.
At least Usps tells u if it's running late.
I had to ask for updates.
Again and again this happens with Fedex.
On SGW they don't give you a choice of shipping.
Or if they do you pay extra.
Fedex also charges you more than it actually weighs. Isn't that extortion and illegal?
Usps has headaches to but they are reasonably priced.
Add SGW handling charges shipping and outrageous prices since bigtime bidders are on there now. For free donated items. 3 broken bracelets (fedex shipping) mixed up ordered items and cc fees because of not enough employees.
Ridiculous! Both have lost my support.

Worse Than the Aliexpress Standard Shipping
December 8, 2021

I often order things online, and I order them to my country, which is somewhere in the SEA region. Literally, every time I try to avoid using FedEx at all costs. But when I am left with no choice, it gets very frustrating. FedEx always takes some of the most horrendous routes to my country.

Recently a package to my country arrived in a neighboring country, which is literally touching my country. You'd expect it to go to my country right? But nope, it travels all the way to another country thousands of kilometers away. You'd think that that's a one-time thing, but this has happened multiple times, and it gets my blood boiling. I would have been fine with it if it had arrived on the date or the day after the estimated delivery, but NOPE again, ALL of my packages have arrived on average a week after the estimated delivery date. I also forgot to mention, ALL of my packages were shipped with the International Priority service, and this stuff happens.

Please, I beg of you, if you live in the SEA region, avoid FedEx at all costs, if you want premium, use DHL Express and avoid the dumpster fire that is FedEx.

Just got off the phone with Fed-Ex's worthless out of country customer service. She couldn't tell me anymore information than I already had and refused to connect me to a supervisor, because "they are very busy and can't take my call". Are you freaking serious?! Since when can a customer service agent be too busy to help a customer? I have been told 3 different delivery dates at this point so I apologize if I don't want to trust their word, but all I'm asking for is to have someone put their hands on my shipment (so I know it's not lost) and tell me when it will be at my door step. Funny how I had a similar situation with UPS in the past and it was handle to perfection. It's unfortunate that retailers will loose my future business because of Fed-Ex's ineptitude.

$#*! COMPANY
December 8, 2021

I could write a book with now many horror stories I have from FedEx deliveries. This entire company, from top to bottom, is an absolute joke. The vids of them damaging packages from $#*! drivers is real. The tracking is trash. The customer service on the phone is garbage. FedEx should hire DHL to teach them how to deliver packages on time.

Not sure who FedEx hires as drivers anymore. I love my UPS and Amazon drivers but Fedex won't deliver packages to my house. I have a long gravel drive that the other delivery services have no problem navigating. I watch my packages stay on their trucks each day and not be delivered. Sometimes they'll leave the package down by the road but rarely to my door, they don't care about residential customers and there is no one to complain to. I will never knowingly use FedEx again if given a choice. Overnight delivery is a joke, I'm lucky to get it in a week and usually only when I change the delivery to be delivered to a local FedEx store for pickup. I now shudder when I hear a retailer has shipped a package to me via FedEx because there is no guarantee that it will ever be delivered. UPS, Amazon must be hiring all the good available drivers because the local FedEx drivers are a joke.

Screwing customers
December 7, 2021

I ordered seven packages paid for 2 day shipping it is now been 11 days and I am still waiting on some of the packages they have suspended refunds for late or missing packages when I talk to management they didn't care they didn't care one bit. Do not use the service it'd be faster to drive anywhere in the country to get your packages then use their services

Zero star! I shipped item internationally at FedEx, the item has never been shipped, I called FedEx to return it unfortunately they never returned it and now it's been almost 2 years. I contacted FedEx more than 30 times but they couldn't resolve the problem. FedEx has stole my item and has disorganized systems.
