FedEx didn't want to deliver package wanted me to meet him

**Nanc952** · 02-09-2004, 10:41 PM

I am getting so tired of FedEx out of the last 7 packages, two have been lost,two damaged so bad had to be sent back and file insurance claim and now because of the snow called up and wanted me to meet him at highway.
Too bad to be on my road. Well lets see UPS came out today didn't complain made it just find. Mailman delivered mail made it just find.
But FedEx didn't want too. Said he didn't have snow tires, never asked if I did.
I am charged a extra $2.00 because I live in a rural area for the delivery. Told him to hold the package till he could get down the road but told him funny others could make it. He did bring it out after told him UPS delivered.
I am getting to the point if someone says they are sending FedEx to tell them just cancel the order.

I would call Fedex and complain - they shouldn't be charging you any thing extra because of where you live, thats there job to deliver.
I would raise a fit......

Oh man would I be yelling, you should definately throw a fit, seems that they earn the money and if you have to drive to meet him or they don't deliver it to your door that they shouldn't be getting paid to do so. Ups has never given me a problem here. Fedex is supposed to be here today, hmmmmmm wonder if he will throw a fit since there is still a little bit of snow on my road, but if i can make it up and down it with my vehicle so should he lol. Seriously, raise a stink.
Edited to add,
Hmm this is winter, so why doesn't the company make sure they have snow tires???????DUH!!

My hubby works for one of the many branches of FedEx. You need to find the number of the local delivery warehouse and speak to the person in charge. The drivers are responsible for getting the packages to the customer and the warehouse manageror supervisor needs to know that this particular driver was not doing his job.

Nanc do you happen to live in WY? I have the same problem with Fed EX, either they call and want me to come out to the road or they just put in mailbox and don't even tell me!!! I have had things sent by survey companies to test that were liquid freeze solid beecause I didn't even know they were there. I only go out and get the mail after the time of my mail delivery and apparently Fed EX has been doing this AFTER the mail delivery. I thought it was illegal to put things in the mail box that wasn't delivered or sent through the USPS, but that may just be misinfo on my part. I have tried calling the local office, but never get an answer. :-( I agree, it is very annoying.

It is very illegal to put anything not delivered by the PO in your mailbox. You need to contact either the PO or FedEx and tell them if they continue to put stuff in your mail box that does not belong there that you will be pressing charges. I know when I worked for the government doing the census, we could not even put the reports in someones box. We would get fired and fined.

bpl76 I live in MO maybe I got the brother to your driver?
I did tell him I thought it was awful funny that the UPS driver and the mailman made it just find and never said a word.

Ginger how do you go about finding the number for the local warehouse?

ITA-there is NO reason that he shouldn't come there. Call and complain to a manager, also it wouldn't hurt to write a letter through PlanetFeedback. By the way, I lived in the boonies when I was younger and my family always got FedEx packages without a problem OR an extra charge! Is that charge from FedEx or the delivery guy? That's why they make the $$$, tell him to buy snow tires if he wants to keep his job.

I would be po'd, and tell them if they expect me to meet them to pick up a package that you paid to have delivered, and that it was their job to deliver, that I expected to have half of my shipping refunded!
