FedEx fake deliveries

[xplainer]

This has now happened to me twice within a month. Tracking number says delivered but no package WAS delivered.
The first time, about three weeks ago, they delivered it the next day around 6pm. Over 24 hours after tracking said it was here. I have cameras installed and when reviewed, there he was. Over 24 hours later with my package.
Today, tracking said delivered. I go to get it and nothing.
Just wanted folks to know this does happen.
Might just be my driver. Maybe he scans it so he can go on home, but it is very frustrating.

It sounds like former postal employees have been hired by FedEx for the holidays.

All three companies are using covid as an excuse to just drop
Off the package even if you requested signature. It’s a mess. Insure everything.

I had a delivery today of 2 large boxes of postage stamps that I use for discount postage. The Fedex driver was setting them outside, uncovered, in the snow when I noticed her out in my yard. Had those things sat there unnoticed all night, absorbing moisture from the snow on the ground plus what was still coming down, I would've had $2,000 plus face value of postage stamps hopelessly stuck together.

Happened at my office yesterday with shelves I ordered from a retailer. I was literally watching for the delivery when magically the tracking changed to "delivered" with no truck showing up with multiple 80 lb packages... 800 number refused to contact the driver.
Local office wouldn't pick up.

Different outfit of course, but I've had this happen with USPS. Postal clerk told me that the drivers are allowed to scan as delivered the night before when sorting. Seems to defeat the purpose of tracking, but hard to fight the man.

Had someone in the chain - open -take out cards worth $$$$ reseal and then deliver late.

The package was sent overnight - "early delivery" and "side door" was specified. At 6:30AM the driver "attempted" delivery to the FRONT door then left with the package. When I called I was told they would attempt delivery the next day - I explained that was unacceptable - after what felt like an unreasonable amount of time and conversations with 2 employees who "didn't get it" - same day redelivery was scheduled. The package arrived at a bit after 10AM. Although a signature was "required" the driver explained because of Covid I didn't have to sign. I opened the box to find missing cards worth $$$$. Reminded in the process that while FedEx will be happy to take your money for whatever amount of insurance you would like to pay for, "the fine print" states that their maximum liability for "collectibles" is $1,000.

Best way to send and insure more valuable items is USPS registered mail!

A FedEx employee stole your cards? What was written under the 'description of contents' section? Did the sender write baseball cards and put down a big value? Also, have you dealt with this sender before? Are you sure he didn't send you an empty box?

These 800 numbers are a joke. The customer service reps couldn’t even put a delay on my shipment by one day( after a 1st notice was left) as no one was going to be available to receive the item . Luckily the website allowed me a hold at location change so trouble avoided.
Also do insure any thing of value. But not sure that it would hold up as I literally had a 1948 Leaf Jackie SGC 5 just left in the mailbox when signature was clearly required. I’m not sure what that recourse would be.

Filed a USPS insurance claim. Received a reply letter yesterday asking for either the damaged item or the shipping container which was their damaged USPS priority box. The box arrived to the finial Post office destination intentionally torn open, signature required "empty" which the buyer refused at the counter. The card was missing. The box was returned to my PO repaired with their special damage Priority tape.

Anyone know how long the process may take for the insurance reimbursement?

With what I'm reading missing shipped items may get worse getting closer to holidays??

Every time Fedex delivers to my office (with no signature required) I receive delivery notification 30-60 minutes prior to actual delivery. This last happened with a $600 card. Calling Fedex is useless.
I really do hate Fedex much more than USPS or UPS.
