Worse than Hermes/their new name!
Parcel due for delivery Monday 16th Oct, I was WFH and waited for my parcel. It did not arrive, tracker says local delay.
Next day 17th Oct I am in the office but husband at home. Get a call from the delivery driver asking to come and meet him near the temporary traffic lights at the end of our road (roadworks) because he can't get onto our road due to traffic? Ultimately tells me to collect my parcel from the local depot but doesn't know what time they close/advise on what needs to be done to organise that.
So that afternoon when I have finished work I call FedEx to confirm the procedure from collecting from depot, as I'm not sure it's as easy as turning with ID? For example with Royal Mail you need ID but also the missed delivery card so the staff can locate your parcel. A robot answers and cannot give me an answer as I am not an account holder. So I contact the seller to ask if they can sort out me collecting from the depot with FedEx.
Next day, 18th Oct, I get a response from seller and FedEx that delivery will be attempted again today. I am in the office. There is no option on the FedEx out for delivery email to add a safe place for drop off or request a more suitable redelivery date? Lo and behold another failed delivery email. I get a call from the seller on the way home from work advising me they are "having an argument" with the FedEx delivery driver and if there was a safe space they could deliver to tomorrow. I advised I would be home tomorrow, and that either way, neighbours were a safe space.
Just an hour ago (7pm 18 Oct) I get a delivery email to advise that 1 of my parcels has been delivered to a safe space (my neighbour). I cannot see the proof of delivery because I am not an account holder (?). Why was only 1 parcel delivered? Why the email advising this at 7pm, when the tracker says it was delivered at 12:10? The emails don't really make sense and come at random times or out of order, over the past 3 days I've had 8 emails from FedEx (not including the one from customer service). The lack of accessibility to support services and lack of ease in booking redelivery etc is incredibly backward.
Absolutely baffling. I think businesses should think twice about using FedEx as their courier, because if I see them as the possible delivery service in the future I will avoid like the plague.
