Fedex and Driver Incompetence

After two emails and a follow-up call to confirm the correct delivery address, the driver either did not bother to deliver to the correct address or is unable to read. We have been very reluctant to use Fedex for international "priority" shipping as they failed several times before to deliver on time and without hassle. After receiving an automated email at 15:58pm saying: "We tried to deliver your shipment. 1. Incorrect address - Recipient moved", I directly contacted the customer support line and was only connected at 16:04 and was just told that they will not be able to deliver today after the Fedex driver failed to read the instructions as they do not have an after hours delivery option. They gave me an option to collect myself and at my own cost after Fedex was paid for a service. It should be noted that delivery was scheduled for 20/06/2025 and not today 24/06/2025. The packages were first sent to Cape Town and then Johannesburg, to be delivered in Centurion. Never again Fedex!

Dear Valued Customer,
I recieved the following from our Clearance team: An emails were send to client for registration on the SARS eFiling system, unfortunately we will have to wait for Peter to get back for proof of email as he assist. Please also note SARS mailed all importers to ensure they update records before 01/05/2025. The shipper was informed of the delay and requested for the shipment to be abandoned.

Best regards,
