FedEx Mobile 4+

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 !!!

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.

So I have always shipped via UPS because more convenient and cheaper than shipping packages from post office. Then I heard FedEx is cheaper for packages. Really? Yes. And they are closer to me. So I set up an account with FedEx online with all my information and added address book for all ppl I ship packages to, like a handful. Then I went to previous kinkos that is now a FedEx store and the ppl who work there are losers, they could look up my account, great, but could not access any addresses in my address book because “privacy,” and I paid and they handed me a paper receipt, “your package will go out tomorrow, even though guy is picking up now, because you chose ground.” OK. I got no txt msg or email with tracking info and even though they used my account to ship, my account has no links to tracking number. I have to type in tracking number to FedEx tracking website. And they told me they won’t remember the address for next time. We will have to go through all this again. Now FedEx for a time led the world in package management efficiency and used to use the latest in technology, but in today’s world this app and their “accounts” are behind even the post office. Embarrassing. They can’t do anything that makes sense, is convenient, and saves time.
