This may explain a lot of lost and damaged packages!

Hopefully this is isolated and hopefully none of them have cards, etc in them.

And hopefully things get better especially with Holidays coming and the spike in packages

This happened a couple of years ago and I posted a thread about it - package sent overnight early delivery with a complete autographed 1961 set in it. Package received missing 1 single page with 18 cards including the 2 most expensive - the Clemente and Hornsby cards removed. Upon close inspection - evidence that the box had been opened and resealed. Filed claim with Fedex - they sent an investigator out. Never "solved". They paid $1,000. on the claim as that is THE MOST they will ever pay for a "collectibles" claim - in the fine print - consider yourself forewarned.

I have always hated FedSux. I used to have 2 addresses for residential houses and 2 business addresses I used. I would have stuff shipped to the one I would be at when it should be delivered. Every other place would just deliver the packages to the address on the package so no problems. FedSux would always try to deliver it to my main residential address no matter the address on the package.

I don't understand how this could happen. How would they know another address to deliver to than the one on the package?

Driver told me that they have everyones "main" addresses in their system. A few times they would cross off my produce companies address and write my home address on the package. It was crazy and I quit doing business with companies that only shipped FedSux it was such a problem.

Now that I am retired and only use one address they are great and we use them regularly.

It's amazing that they would do something like that since it just seems to be creating more work for themselves to look up and change addresses on packages.

My wife just ordered a smart watch online from Target. The shippong box had a label on it that there were batteries inside, which must have given someone at Fedex the clue to open the box and see what was inside.

We got the box yesterday retaped and empty. We reported the theft to Target and to Fedex, will see what happens.

They were pretty good when I worked for a company that had an account.
Even better for one customer I had that was a huge company.

Other than that? A very mixed bunch of experiences.

My favorite?

When I was getting a lot of stuff on ebay I'd get the occasional fedex delivery.
My side porch is shaded, and a couple of the drivers would deliver to me just before lunch and eat their lunch there. I was fine with that. I got my stuff a bit earlier, they got a quiet shady spot to eat during summer. They cleaned up after themselves, the trash was only like 3 feet from the steps they sat on.

Until one day I come home to sub and chip wrappers and a bag, plus a soda bottle, all left on the porch. Also their clipboard with the entire mornings signatures....

So I called, told the call center about it and got the usual "our people don't do that, it must be someone else" No, I'm sure it was you guys, and I'm not saying don't eat there anymore, just pick up your trash.
"Well, it wasn't us"
Umm ok, let me talk to a local supervisor.
Go through the same thing.
"Ok then, thanks for the neat aluminum clipboard! And the cool sheet full of signatures with the FedEx logo!"
"Oh S*** we'll be right over."

I clipped the trash to the clipboard ad restated that the drivers who picked up after themselves were still welcome. But Next time I was left a clipboard I was keeping it.

As far as I know they didn't come by anymore. I felt bad for the good guys that picked their stuff up and hope the one who didn't got in some trouble.

That sucks. I've been screaming this from the mountain tops for years about shipping insurance claims in collectibles. It is pointless to pay for shipping insurance in excess of $1,000 through FedEx, UPS, and USPS (unless using registered mail - supposedly). That's why I got private insurance instead.

Hopefully this will deter the next FedEx employee thinking about dumping packages

I'm FedUp with FedEx! I rather have Amazon Prime deliver my mail and packages.
