I get shipments form UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, Old Dominion, Southeastern Freight Lines and ABF Freight.

Zero problems with any of them.

Your problem isn't FedEx, per se. Its the local management. You need to go up the chain of command till you get it resolved.

You ever try to talk to anyone at FedEx to get a problem solved? Most frustrating experience ever for absolutely no help. And don't call back because the system won't let you back in.

I would call the local Fed Ex office, express, ground or freight, which ever one your these having issues with and ask to talk to a customer service manager and ask them to help you resolve their problem with your address. Many states and county and city will have both streets, roads and avenues with both numbers and letters with the same name except the last part
Utah towns and cities are famous for that shruggy My grandma lived on 7st street N/E and her town had a 7Th. NE avenue on the other side of the main road that divided the town from east to west and letter streets and avenues on the north to south of the other main road for that confused shruggy
I ran into a Fed Ex delivery guy who is a sub contractor for both Fed Ex express and Fed Ex Ground, he covers a area east of where I live that is right at 100 miles N.to S. and about the same east to west in mostly very low density ranching and farming area of eastern Oregon along Hwy 395 from about twenty miles north of Lakeveiw, OR north to Prineville, OR and east to west from Hwy 395 west to about twenty miles east Oregon of Hwy 97. That is a really big area for one man to cover scope
It sounds like your route guy needs some one to one instruction from his boss on finding your address from now on twocents scope

Well, just to make sure I'm not delusional (some days I wonder) I went down to the post office this morning and talked to the Postmaster. I asked her what is my official address in the USPS data base. Answer, my PO box because I do not get residential delivery. I then asked if the USPS has my physical address. Yes, in my case that is what the USPS considers a secondary address and it is 10th ST NE.

A number of you have recommended contacting FedEx and I think I'll do that. I don't believe the problem is with the driver because the address labels say 10th Ave NE. We'll see how I do.

BTW, did I mention I hate FedEx?

Here in my little town it's the post office that sucks...I would much rather deal with Fed-Ex any day of the week. Our postal service has been going downhill for quite some time. wave

Time to blow a gasket.... I had a set of rims due today via fedex.

I got one rim today, the others were 150 miles away, last scan just shows them in Florida 1800 miles away.

Fed Ex rep who may be in a Asian country tells me what im seeing in there system is wrong and started with the high volume and covid crap. But that dont explain one rim arriving today and now the other 3, 1800 miles away?

Im really hating fed ex!

The last package that FedEx screwed up was from a Moparts member who sold me some parts. So I PM'd him up and verified that, yes, he did give FedEx my correct address. Even watched them enter it into their computer. So I call up FedEx, told them the problem, gave them the tracking number of the package, related the entire situation to him that FedEx WAS given the correct address and changed it internally. Much to my surprise no arguing, no deflection, the agent said he will correct their records and that should prevent it from happening again.

As Bruce Willis put it "We'll see".

I use Fedex mainly, but some customers prefer UPS so they get about 10% of the business. International it's DHL all the way for both inbound and outbound. I rarely use USPS. All services have their ups and downs. Some of it depends on the location. Covid is creating a mess, too.

I got a pacakge (fedex) the other day that was addressed to a lady in a city 30 miles away. Her address was perfect - they just delivered it to me. When I tracked it, it showed as "in transit" - so they never scanned it at my house and had no idea that it was with me.

I wrote a big note on it that said "PLEASE RE-DELIVER TO CORRECT ADDRESS -- SHIPPER AND RECIPIENT HAVE BOTH BEEN NOTIFIED" and gave it back to Fedex. After a couple of days, they delivered it to the right address.

Once Fedex incorrectly coded 5 boxes going to Trinidad and Tobago as "IT" instead of "TT" and they ended up going to Italy and getting stuck in customs there. It took 3 weeks and at least 10 phone calls for the goods to finally make their way to Trinidad.

UPS just straight up negligently breaks things and refuses to pay up - their insurance is useless.

USPS loses packages and their tracking is awful.

Luckily, these stories are the exceptions and things go pretty smoothly with almost every shipment. Did I just jinx myself?

Exactly what I was going to say. for a "one horse town" to have similar addresses the blame lies with having idiots naming streets, who never had to find an address as part of their job. I hope you never have a medical emergency and get a frazzled, or new 911 dispatcher.

I would be asking your government about renaming some streets. Explain if its confusing for Fedex, it will be tragic for public safety needs.

My shop address is 110 Division St.

The street signs still say Division Ave, which is a vestige of the old terminology which changed in the 1980s.

I'm surprised it doesn't cause problems, even in my small town.

I hate FEDEX too!

Right now I have a package in Moon Township, PA that hasn't moved for a week. I ordered broadheads and fletches from Cabela's. The broadheads showed up on time. Fletches, no such luck. I call (India?) and they begin to rattle off excuses: Damage from Hurricane Zeta. "No ma'am. If that were the case, the other half of my shipment wouldn't have arrived." Sometimes different containers...: "OK, so you have 2-day shipping items in containers that haven't moved for a week?" Well, sir, can I have your email so you can get automatic updates?" NO, UPDATES DON'T GET MY ITEM TO MY HOUSE! Who can get me a straight answer?" I really wanted to cuss someone up, but she was just the jerk on the other end of the phone that gets paid to rattle off excuses. I just hung up. It's not like I'm destitute without these fletches, but I'd REALLY like to have them. Dealing with FEDEX is VERY frustrating...

Oh boy, I know the frustration. I run the shipping for my work. Boss WILL NOT use Fed Ex ever again after last year. We sent some inventory to our sister location in the UK. $600 worth of product hung up in Paris, customs would not clear it. Fed Ex calls him and says they are sending it back, freight will be due upon arrival. He says keep it, not paying $1400 shipping for $600 in product. They sent anyway, delivery guy got an earful!

My experience has been that it depends on the individual, some guys actually care, some don't. Talked with our regular UPS guy enough to know what they do every day. People order sectional couches and these guys are expected to haul it up 3 or 4 flights of stairs. The top brass only cares about the profits.

We do make sure things are packed and wrapped well, as the boss agrees with me that it's cheap insurance to spend $$ on packaging than re-sending stuff after taking a call from a pissed off customer.

I also know they are hiring massively because of covid, turnover and the holidays. Seen lots of noobs coming and going lately
