Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation


In the span of 2 days I had 2 separate deliveries of expensive audio equipment delivered by FedEx. One on the east coast and one on the west coast. They were both insured for the full amount and high dollar values, which triggers FedEx required direct signature by the recipient. In one case the recipient let me know that the driver signed for him and left the package in the snow next to his mailbox. He never made contact with the driver nor signed for the package. In the second case the driver again signed for him and left the package on his porch, and never made contact with the recipient. In both cases everything turned out ok, but this terrible business ethics from FedEx employees.

It's blatant forgery by the drivers, and who is left holding the bag if the package is stolen? It's the driver's word against the recipient. I have a feeling the shipper (in both cases me) would be when I paid for full value insurance. What is the motivation of the driver, just laziness so they don't have to come back for another delivery attempt? I made a formal complaint with FedEx which supposedly they are going to trace down, but I have a feeling this is not going to make a difference.

Things are getting worse and worse these days!

I just got one from the USPS saying I wasn’t home when she came by.  Not only was I there, but I have two cameras aimed at my front door and there was nothing!

The only reasons I can think of is they are on such tight schedules ( like FedX or UPS ) they are just plain lazy!

@grislybutter ,

I don’t mind as long as those avocados got here legally, and didn’t try to sneak their delicious, green skinned little butts over by floating across the Rio Grande!

Great, now I’m hungry for guacamole...

I’d agree with you, but I have no idea what xe is. I’ve been kept inside a lot.
