Provo man says FedEx packages won't deliver to his home

After years of a Provo man's packages being delivered to the incorrect address by FedEx, he decided to Get Gephardt.

[@melodychanribis-roy4227]

FedEx delivered a package to my house, took a picture to prove it had been delivered, and then took the package. I called FedEx and told them that the package wasn't here. They said they had photographs of it being delivered, and I told them I had a video of the delivery guy stealing the package. Thank goodness for "ring" doorbell cameras.

[@hopelessnerd6677]

It's sad that you have to have a camera to make people do the simplest things, but thats what it's come to. Strange that a delivery driver doesn't know they're probably being recorded. They probably still have a job, too.

[@princessmarlena1359]

Sorry to hear that, glad you have a ring doorbell camera. You should have filed a police report.

I had problems with fedex. I hate to use a company that uses them. I also have cameras on my porch, carport, and gate. That shows if they bring to the porch. And the truck coming and going. I got so tired of calling them with non delivery of packages. It got totally ridiculous. I am totally fed up with fed ex. My meds come UPS.

The problem is that the company is so big that there’s no connection between customer service and the drivers, the driver fleet is buffered. I know, my company has this issue too. I think the actual problem here is whatever technology they have in the truck doesn’t distinguish properly between North and South on an address. My company doesn’t have that problem but they’ve been delivering after business hours and leaving things unattended.

[@laurap9750]

I do pool service and see the "sorry we missed you" notes stuck to the box to enter a gate code for gated communities all the time. I figured the homeowner didn't put a gate code in the delivery notes and/or the drivers are lazy. Many times there is a lane to enter the code and a lane for residents to just drive through with their teansponder so the chances of the homeowner actually seeing the note are low.

I have had a problem with FedEx myself. It does no good to complain. An example: I ordered a mattress and the driver dumped it onto the edge of my driveway. It was so heavy, I had to get a neighbor to help bring it in. I called the customer service department, who assured me the driver would be told to bring my packages to the porch. He did twice, each time throwing them and the boxes were torn up. After that it was back to searching for my packages. He even leaves them somewhere between my driveway and the road during rain. I tried again and got the run around, different people and departments. I wish companies would let you pick your delivery service. UPS always puts packages on my porch.

UPS used to do the exact same thing to me as well. They would deliver all my packages to an address I hadn't lived at for well over 10 years and every single time I'd pick it up at the house I would check the label and it would have my correct address on the first label but they would print up another label and put it right on top of the good label then deliver it to the wrong house. And just so happens this house is also 25 miles from where I live now so I'd have to watch for the tracking to say delivered then take off immediately and drive 50 miles round trip to get my packages before they came up missing. How did I fix the problem? By stopping picking up my packages and report every single one of them as lost and after UPS had to pay for a couple of lost packages they finally listened to me and corrected my address like I had asked them to do dozens of times before. I swear UPS and FedEx are the most incompetent companies I've ever seen in my life.

[@adamr9215]

We had a UPS driver that would just drive by on the street and toss packages into your yard. A neighbor had his brother send him an urn (he worked at a funeral home) full of ashes, and marked it as human remains. Well, when that was tossed out of the truck, it was a felony. He had a video camera pointed out at the road and caught it all on video. He showed it to the cops along with the busted open urn and “grandma’s remains” and the cops went straight after the UPS driver. This was back in the 90’s, so the cops roughed the driver up good, and the courts refused him a bond. Ended up charging him for everything they could, every package he threw and didn’t deliver was some kind of crime. From there, they investigated UPS and found a bunch of management to have aided and abetted his crimes and they got charged as well. For the rest of the time I lived in that area, we had the best UPS service you could imagine. Then I moved to a town that had both numbered streets and spelled out numbered streets. So Second Street and 2nd Street. Third Street and 3rd Street. And in case you don’t know, every single bill you will get, they will automatically change the word to the number for some reason. So when you live on Seventh Street, your mail all goes to 7th street. The post office tried, but UPS and FedEx just delivered wherever they wanted. I ended up getting a lawyer friend to send some letters and some letter from a judge saying they can’t shut my service off/charge late fees/whatever if they couldn’t get a bill to the correct address. That fixed things for a while.

[@SailBale007]

I had an interesting situation with an Amazon delivery driver. He delivered an envelope which was supposed to have an oxygen sensor inside, but clearly the envelope was open and empty. But the driver wanted to complete all his deliveries, so rather than return it as damaged/missing, he left it on my doorstep. I then had to make two attempts to have it replaced, and three attempts to correct being charged for not returning the first one which was never delivered in the first place! I probably spent at least an hour of my own time correcting something that the driver could have simply made right in the beginning. I'd like to know who to charge for the wasted hour of my time!

The penalties for forgery are very serious and can result in a long-term prison sentence anywhere from 5 to 10 years in prison and large fines from $10,000 to $25,000. Forgery is defined as altering or making a public record or legal document for personal gain or to harm another. so you know

I had a package I was closely watching tracking on. I saw it got marked delivered but the package was no where to be found. I started to get freaked out. The delivery driver then turned on my street and I waited for them to finally bring it up to my door to drop it off. I asked if he needed me to sign anything and he said no. He forged my signature on the delivery confirmation. The package I was expecting he was just going to leave at my front door. The package contained a FIREARM.

​@BuildProne USPS actually severely damaged a flat rate box I shipped. I do a lot of online sales and have for years. I know how to pack stuff. The person got the items broke and the box was ridiculously damaged. I tried to call to get some kind of reimbursement considering there's a $100 insurance on all items shipped, they told me my box was damaged when I shipped it causing the box to become more damaged. That doesn't even make sense! They wouldn't have taken the box if it was badly damaged. It was brand new flat rate box from the post office I just grabbed ugghhh I lost 60 bucks😡

Former FedEx delivery driver here. Sadly, the vast majority of FedEx drivers just plainly don’t care. The Ground drivers are forced to load their own trucks every morning. Once they’re on the road they rush to get done and get home. Some drivers work 12 hour days to do 65 stops. Other drivers can run 150 stops in as little as 6-8 hours. Basically, the drivers work for an independent contractor and the contractor pays the drivers salary. Many contractors do NOT offer insurance, PTO, sick days, or any other type of perk. There’s no room for advancement. Thus, the reason MOST drivers just don’t bother to do the job thoroughly.

But then I got an email saying that they are sorry they tried to deliver it but I was not home. I found a phone number and called FedEx and said look I've been sitting here all day, and your email says she tried to deliver at 1:35 p.m. and I was sitting right here staring at the road and she never came by.

I am a FedEx delivery driver as well, many of us will go out of our way to help and make sure your package is delivered correctly, unfortunately the company doesn't really care I have literally been told to stack multiple boxes that said fragile don't not stack ECT. My bosses exact words were, "It's not our job to make sure the deliveries are perfect, if they don't want it they can return it." There are a few caveats; 1: The instructions are OPTIONAL, don't be rude in your message because as long as it is legally on your property and in one of the many zones we are allowed to place them porch, garage, front door, side door ECT. They don't care 2: Most packages don't actually require a signature, but if you leave a note that says no signature needed, that's not true certain packages, alcohol, hazmat ECT MUST have signatures or we have to take it back 3: If you have dogs, we do not have to deliver into your property, if we don't feel safe no matter how nice you think your dog is most of us will leave it at the end of your driveway, I've been chased and bit more times than I care to remember 4 If you have a gate or fence in the way, we are not required to open the fence or gate, multiple of my co workers have been accused of stealing or breaking things because they opened gates and such so many of us won't open anything we are not absolutely required to, the only thing that saved us was the cameras on the trucks 5: If you are rude some of the guys will literally go out of their way to not acquiesce to your request, I know of a certain customer who loves in the country, he refuses to give us a gate code and says that the side gate is opened his exact message say " Pick up the package and walk." Which is rude and he has a quarter mile driveway, we are supposed to make a certain amount of deliveries per hour based on our route, none of us are wasting 30 minutes to deliver to your door

Our facility put out 11,000 packages just today. (We are an over flow facility). If you knew the volume they put out daily you likely would be more appreciative of what goes on in a day at FedEx, ups, amazon, etc. they all the same.

@fd9987 The damages would be the loss of property (US postage) due to the neglect of the postage carrier who would have a federal duty to make sure that they did it right. I do still on that property but don't live there. Where I live now, I did have an issue where they were over filling my mail box with packages, and as a result, some of the mail would be falling out and being lost as a result. It would be the same concept. It this case I did sue and won, they ended up having to also replace my mailbox because the judge saw that the box was damaged, mainly due to age but he said that he couldn't rule out that the damage had been cause by the neglect of the postage carrier. They also had to pay us $15k. But this was in a completely different county, and we didn't have to deal with corrupt officials protecting each other.

Thankfully my neighbor is an amazing person and would call me. I had ammunition and firearms delivered there which require a signature, and they dropped them off and said signature signed and there was none. Finally some regional director got a hold of me this past summer and talked to me about the goings on. About 3 months ago the fedex driver dropped a package off and stopped and asked me what he was supposed to do (his words) and I said drop my packages off here! he said what if no one answers, I said if it doesn't require a signature put it "here", if it requires a signature TAKE IT BACK UNTIL IM HOME!

Whenever FedEx tracking said a package would arrive on a Saturday, we’d inevitably end up instead with an update that “the business was closed or the resident could not be contacted”, and the delivery pushed to Monday. But we’re not a business, and they didn’t need to contact us. Turns out they didn’t have any drivers for our area on Saturdays, and they checked the box for this particular excuse because it didn’t damage their performance metrics (i.e. not their fault it wasn’t delivered). When I called and threatened to go to a consumer advocacy group who would bring public scrutiny, they stopped using that BS excuse. Still no Saturday deliveries, but at least the lying stopped. And the tracking never says “arriving Saturday”.

I just called in a complaint less than a week ago because the FedEx driver “delivered” my package by my curbside garbage can where large pieces of trash are put out for disposal. Had I not coincidentally been home at that time, my entire order would have just been carted away. No reason for it either. I don’t have outside dogs or a long driveway, and the package weighed approximately 10 pounds. I was livid. The complaint center was very obviously overseas, and the operator apologized but tried to downplay the situation as if the package wasn’t being delivered to my specifications. No…the package was literally delivered to trash pickup. That’s not a preference…that’s gross negligence.

[@LisaRent]

UPS delivered a package to our ranch gate a few days ago. Not our address. Not our package. In fact, not even a valid address. We drove up and down the road and finally saw a similar (off by 600) address and two women. My husband hollered at them. It was their package. Weird coincidence that we happened to find the address. 824 on the package; 224 was where it needed to go. And no, they didn’t lie. She said they were waiting for a carburetor for the MG and the package was from a car parts shipper.

[@randybowen7044]

Maybe instead of complaining you should look at it from their point of view, drivers are pushed to the max trying to get all the stops off in the allotted time ups says it takes, knowing there times are off. Trucks are packed and we don’t have time to slow down to try and find an address that’s clearly not correct on the package from the shipper. This is coming from someone who’s drove for them for over 20 years

@@randybowen7044 it is an experience. Thank you for the self righteous education! There is no way the driver could have delivered that package.

[@teresaworobetz5766]

@@randybowen7044no ne said the packages had the wrong addresses except you, defending drivers. I’m rural, I assumed I couldn’t get rural delivery when I started ordering online, so we used our daughters address in town. 6 out of 10 orders were either not delivered, delivered to the wrong address or damaged beyond use (truck headlight assemblies and lamps) one package said delivered on the tracking page but was in another city with no actual street address, the delivery company told us, I guess we got it wrong, brut you need to call the company we bought it from and report it, they’ll resend for you. I think that’s part of the problem, they’re getting away with it with no consequences.

[@RyleArron]

I used to live, and my parents still do, at an address that is one word different from an art museum. (Like Old Road vs Old Town Road) UPS and FedEx have both delivered package to the wrong address. The art museum has gotten our Christmas presents, and we’ve gotten paintings worth hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars.

@2470qwerty no clue, I moved 7 years ago. We had the issue until we left. Luckily the address our things were sent to was an apartment complex, so we usually got our mail. We lived in a house so they didn't have an apartment to deliver it to. We didn't get FedEx very often, but home depot did have the same issue.

[@mochella]

I've had this problem for years from FedEx, USPS, DoorDash, and everything from the university of Utah. It's the mapping software they use. Grid system addresses aren't recognized correctly. If you try to use both N/S and E/W the system will basically drop one of them and use the house number to essentially guess the address. I've lost thousands of dollars of medications/deliveries/food due to these mapping issues.

For some reason we keep getting one of my neighbors packages. I bring them to her every time, and she keeps trying to give me money 😅 sweet old lady’s so thankful for the simplest gesture, it makes me kind of sad. It’s been almost two years now, and I’ve started bringing her baked goods and a plate of lunch or dinner whenever I bring by one of her packages or letters. I just shoveled her walkway from the snow, and the kids love her 🥰 (Edit: Oh goodness I’m shocked at all the positive comments! 💕 Thank you to everyone for the kind words! Mrs. W and my family have become quite close friends since I started bringing her her mail that got mixed with mine. [the third and fifth number of our addresses are reversed, which is most likely why we get some of her mail sometimes, not sure though] the kids call her “Memaw W”, we go out to lunch once a month, carpool her to church with us sometimes, and one of the girls is obsessed with crochet right now and the other is obsessed with baking, which she’s loving showing them how to do ❤️ Be kind to your neighbors y’all! Sometimes even the smallest acts of kindness will lead you to forming some of the most beautiful relationships!)

As a former FedEx driver. If the computer gps from FedEx is wrong. I have to take it back and I get docked pay for not delivering it. If I deliver it to where it says it’s supposed to go I don’t get in trouble, even if it disappears. If I deliver to the correct address, FedEx will investigate me for theft which has Fedex says I was at the wrong location. This is why I left that job. And I’m glad I’m done with school and in my dream job.

[@thetruelefty9302]

Good luck. I have been trying to fix this for even longer (15 years). So every time I have similar problem I try to talk to the driver. Talking to the driver fixes the problem until the next new driver. Not only do others receive my packages but I receive a drop off of packages that have PO Box addresses with different names. One Christmas time I received about 35 packages all with different names and PO Box numbers. I don't have a PO Box I have a Regular mail box in front of my house. FedEx never comes to pick up the packages when I call. Good thing I live on the same street as the Post office and have a good relationship with the Postmaster and drop off the packages at the pick up door even though it's not my job.

I NEVER had a problem with Amazon deliveries. They always open my rod iron gate, walk to my front door and leave the packages AT MY FRONT DOOR. I am finding some FedEx divers are just plain lazy. I’m supposed to have my packages delivered to my front door. Instead they deliver to my patio gate and I once saw and heard the guy literally drop it over the rod iron gate. Last week we had a lot of rain. FedEx driver dropped it over the gate but mostly ended in the planter. I wasn’t home so my sister came the following day & took a picture of where the package was. The box got soaked! If the driver would have dropped it at my front door, the overhang would have kept my box dry.
