I was dire need of overnight shipping. My family is military and PCS'ing, and needed to Next Day ship documents to our next duty location to facilitate our pets move. I very explicitly explained to the clerk my situation, that I needed to get the documents delivered as soon as possible, and money was not an issue. I paid the Next Day delivery envelope fee of $86, which identically matched the quote FedEx online had provided in my research prior to walking in, and felt good about the transaction.
I tracked the package the next day to check for delivery status, and it stated the package was due for delivery in 7 more days! When I called the store, the clerk literally stated, "Wow, that's weird...I don't know what happened, we can't do anything. I would call FedEx". I contacted FedEx proper and after several supervisors they were unsuccessful with any resolution as the package was 'in transit' via ground service already, but further suggested I recontact store at least to request a refund from the responsible party.
I called the store back and the clerk, the same I dealt with in-store yesterday, told me she didn't think a refund was possible, that she was dealing with another customer and would have to call back. I asked for her supervisor's phone number to be texted to me. She agreed, then promptly failed to text the number. I called back and received supervisor's number at the Raeford location. Supervisor was pleasant and helpful in providing a refund, however, stated the clerk at the Pinehurst location stated I was "given shipping options" and chose for ground delivery envelope at $86 intentionally... which price-wise makes zero sense as the price I paid matches the exact online quote (just rechecked it to make sure I wasn't crazy myself), and is just an outright lie.
We're all human, errors occur, mistakes happen...but ZERO accountability, ZERO integrity, ZERO competency, and ZERO responsibility (quite the antithesis even as clerk tried to turn the onus of the mistake back me via a phone conversation with her supervisor), and now I've achieved my refund, but I'm out my documents which are "in the cloud" until they arrive a (a week late which will incur a hefty penalty fee on my end).
Based on my experience I will a) NEVER recommend or use Qwik Pack & Ship to so much as buy scotch tape, and b) REFRAIN from using FedEx unless absolutely necessary...guess I'm a UPS customer by proxy now. Absolute nightmare the took the better part of a day on "hold" between both Qwick Pack and FedEx proper, only to end up sans 5 hours of my day and as screwed as I was when we started. read more
