The following is a copy of the complaint that I have filed. Please read and help if you can.

I need help. FedEx is claiming that I accepted and signed for a package. I did not. I have been going back and forth with them for over a week now. Here is the issue: I placed an order with Comcast. I was given a FedEx tracking number. When I looked up the tracking number, it said that my package was delivered to and signed for by me. It was not. When I called FedEx to correct them, I was called a liar, and my integrity was questioned. I was first told by their representative that my package was delivered to me on the second floor. There is no access to the second floor.The next day, I was told by their representative that they gave my package to someone claiming to be my uncle. Today, I am told by their representative that they gave it someone claiming to be my nephew. I HAVE NO RELATIVES LIVING IN MY BUILDING! AND FURTHER, IF YOU KNOW THAT I DID NOT SIGN FOR THIS PACKAGE, WHY DO YOU SAY THAT I DID??? I asked them why would they not verify the person's identity before handing over my package. I was told that they are allowed to give the package to anyone who answers the door. I argued with them, saying that they have either made a mistake, or the driver kept the package for himself and marked it as delivered. My apartment building is a collection of close knit, elderly people, none of whom would steal thier neighbor's packages. I told them that if they have a signature, it is easy to compare the signatures and see that I did not sign for it. They said that they don't have to prove anything. They would not allow me to file a claim, saying that the delivery was made, that I signed for it, that I am lying. They then told me that the claim must be filed by the sender (Comcast). You should know that when I first informed Comcast of this,I was told that I must file the claim with FedEx.Why is FedEx allowed to give a package to anyone without verification of identity? If this is their policy, then why can't they accept that mistakes can be made? FEDEX ARE THE ONES WHO ARE LYING. I NEVER SIGNED FOR ANYTHING, AND I WANT MY PACKAGE! There are 8 units in my clearly marked apartment building. Each unit has a doorbell/buzzer which is clearly marked with unit number. Entry into building is impossible without ringing the apartment number doorbell/buzzer. Anyone wishing entry must be buzzed in by the occupant of the apartment. I was sitting in my living room at the time that my package was supposedly delivered.There is nothing wrong with my doorbell/buzzer. There is nothing wrong with my hearing. NO ONE RANG MY DOORBELL/BUZZER. If he actually made the delivery, why is the delivery person allowed to give a package to anyone without first confirming that person's identity? I just can't understand this policy-it makes no sense, and I really don't appreciate my integrity being put into question because of a mistake made by FedEx, or theft of my package by the delivery driver, which I suspect is what happened. I did not sign for this package. I never received this package. It is not fair that they can do this and I am helpless to do anything about it. After days of trying to find answers, I have learned that this happens often with FedEx. They seem to be untouchable in these instances. I feel utterly helpless.

I have multiple tickets open with Comcast which seem to be going nowhere, and I have filed a claim with the BBB against FedEx, and it was accepted. I would really like to get the iPad that I ordered from https://www.xfinity.com/ipad.

I am extremely incensed and angered by this. Would you please have something done about it? Could I file a police report against the delivery driver? Item tracking number is:449518063068

Sincerely,
George Brown

i would attempt to file a police report. Whether the fed ex driver took it or somebody at the complex took it, you didn’t get it so somebody stole it. That can help you later on as well.

Thank you so very much for your support. I have indeed filed a police report. Also looking into filing with the Illinois Attorney General.

Look, all this complaint business isn't going to get you your money or your phone.

You need to be willing and able to sue FedEx in small claims court.

A lawsuit goes to people whose pay grade is a lot higher than the bunglers you are talking to and they are less likely to want the hassle of sending people to court over an iPad.

I am willing to sue FedEx, but I doubt my ability. I am actually considering my options. I have only a part time job, earning just above minimum wage.
I am gathering information and documents before I contact the Attorney General.
More than the fact that I am contracted to xFinity to pay for this device in monthly installments, I am angry that FedEx is calling me a liar.
Thanks for your response.

You never even bothered to say what state you're in.

What does your income have to do with filing in small claims court?

Also, you probably don't realize that the BBB is pretty useless, especially for making complaints.

I am in Illinois. And I have read the reviews about the BBB. I know that they cannot force anyone to do anything. I do think that a copy of the complaint, along with my police report, should help a little. And nothing worth having or doing is ever completely free in this world.
Thank you for your reply.

Then why did you borrow money (making payments is borrowing money) for an expensive new iPad when you can get a used one on eBay for under $100?

First of all, it was an offer for certain xFinity customers. Go to this address: https://www.xfinity.com/ipad. And this will be my final activity for this site, as I am not getting any kind of help from you people. You all just seem to want to bust my balls-and I am having more than I need of that already.

The problem is if you can’t get any satisfaction from either Comcast or fed ex, given your statements about all you can do is file the police report and sue fed ex.
