I used to love Fedex, I mean they used to be the greatest example of a PERFECT company ever.. BUT they have just crossed the line from that to a bunch of aggressive marketing scumbags, like most other excessively large corporations! Whoever implemented this change should be executed!
They called me at 8:00am too, and hung up! There is MUCH more to this problem than just these annoying phone calls, if I may expand a bit. We need to organize and fight this. Abusive marketing is costing me REAL money in massive amounts of time, not to mention endless aggravation every single day. I am at a point where I cannot even answer my phone anymore, because I know 9 out of 10 calls is either ID theft attempts, and/or abusive telemarketers. My small snail-mailbox fills up so fast, when I am out of town, the post office has to stop delivering my 3-4 legitimate mails per month because of HUNDREDS of junk mails filling it up! They refuse to stop delivering the junk, so I closed it!
Back to this issue.. Yesterday I was FORCED to open an account with FedEx just so I could buy a return-mail label for legal documents I have to send, and get back from a Government Agency. The Government requirement is, it has to be a "computer generated", not hand-written return label! The Fedex stores and website BOTH refused to allow me to get that without OPENING an account, which of course requires me giving excessive amounts of personal information, blood type, and worst of all FORCING me to agree to their new TELEMARKETING "privacy" policy (Which essentially says we and EVERYONE Fedex decides to share with, will TELEMARKET, SPAM, and JUNK-MAIL YOU.. How can they call that a "privacy" policy! It's CRIMINAL) This was the only way the Government would accept the documents, and I am convinced they are in bed with Fedex at this point. I am sick of abusive stupid Governments, and honestly 99% of large Corporations. I am a lifelong small-business person and competing with these criminals is becoming difficult to impossible. I refuse to behave that way!
As soon as my transaction is done, I will close the account and change all my numbers! I have complained to them repeatedly as well!
People in this country need to wake up and absolutely FLAME on these corps for doing this, and exposing us to credit card fraud and ID theft! Calling me ANYTIME without a legitimate reason, other than marketing, IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE. Bothering people early in the morning is plain STUPID. Shows how our nation continues to decline into idiocracy as the collective IQ of our population reaches new lows every month! The whole FACEBOOK wave sweeping the U.S is the largest group of brainless idiots freely giving away every vital detail of their lives so corporate America can put us in millions of databases just so they can charge us the maximum amount of money possible for everything under the sun.. it's insane! That industry is thriving, because IDIOTS in this country are thriving! How can people protesting (camping) at Wall street complain that they cannot eat, when they have I-phones costing hundreds of dollars per month, and the video game industry thriving as well, expect government handouts all the while supporting all these Social media black-holes? Sell the phone and get a job! Stop feeding evil companies, do business with small honest businesses. Treat your personal information like it has some value! Only then this epidemic will end!
Thank you again for this website, it is priceless!
This is Fedex customer service center (locaed in Philadelphia).
You likely scheduled a pick up, have a lingering billing issue or a delivery. I had a scheduled pick up and had problems with their web site--- they called a little early but were helpful.
