Crappy delivery updates !

For the last several FEDEX deliveries to me , at the last minute on the projected delivery date , the FEDEX website will switch from the projected time and date to pending ! When accessing the automated FEDEX system or even speaking to a service representative, all you get is some obscure reply ! I’m a retired Postal Service maintenance technician and the USPS and UPS have far better updates and customer service results and responses ! I WILL NO LONGER make anymore online orders if the vendor is using FEDEX’s crappy delivery services ! I’m 67 years of age and fairly tolerant and understanding of changing delivery obstacles , but FEDEX has become consistently unreliable and for lack of a better term lousy and crappy delivery service !! This scathing review will not even faze or even shame FEDEX into improving their crappy delivery service to its customers !!! Hopefully and with any luck , FEDEX will start losing customers ! I’m willing to bet that I do not even receive an inquiry from FEDEX asking what they can do to constantly failing the customers !!!

No notifications and no communication at all

This isn’t the first time that this happened to me with FedEx. Before the shipment was even shipped, I requested all the notifications as much as possible so I can get the real time updated status even if home or not home. Turned out it doesn’t matter anyway. No notifications, no updates, and no communication at all. Just because the gate at my residence was closed (and the apartment staff is off work), doesn’t mean you cannot come in…? That was only around 5-6:00 PM, when in fact, I know that FedEx is always out of deliver until 9-10:00 PM. After the estimated day that my shipment was supposed to be delivered, I went back to check up on the app again, out of no where it says that “the delivery was unable to deliver” at 6 PM when at that time, I got NOTHING for the notifications. I’ve been home all day and I had no idea where my package was. The only thing it says on the tracking category was “out for deliver since 6:50 AM”. They could’ve have contacted or something in order to get inside and deliver some packages. Or at least if I get notified by a text right away because that was the option I chose to be notified if there’s an exception for a delivery, or there’s something happening and is unable to deliver. Again, like I said, NOTHING for the notifications, no updates at all, and no communication. And ALWAYS late/delay when it comes to deliver a shipment.

Disappointed is an understatement

I really wanted to like this app, but disappointed is an understatement! After missing a package I needed to sign for, I was livid, the driver was at my door according to my ring for 31 seconds, when I got to the door he was driving up the street! Guess what!? You can NEVER get a driver back. This was a critical delivery for that day, but the pickup location was in another city,in another state I might add and an hour away. You could at least have a facility in this city of a million people! So I decided to wait for delivery on the second attempt. I downloaded the app after the site implied for more details, get an account, get the app! Determined not to miss it, I fell for it and downloaded the app, BUT the information provided was exactly the same as just tracking the regular way. This “awesome” tracking app shows it left this morning at 4:30 am, it’s 1:25 pm and not ONE single update, I’ve used better tracking apps, what’s the point if the information isn’t even available? Useless waste of storage space on my phone, back to the cloud you go. FedEx, I hope you can get it together and join the gps world. I cant imagine you don’t gps your precious trucks on such a tight schedule that a package that needs signature gets a 31 second window to get to the door. Its 2019, you have the resources, make easy to track for real. Your customers deserve at least that.
