Frequently asked questions

How do I complain to FedEx?

The most effective way is a formal written complaint letter that cites the specific consumer protection laws that apply to your situation. Verbal complaints are easy to ignore — a letter citing FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45 creates a legal record FedEx must respond to.

Can I get my money back from FedEx?

Yes. Under FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45, you have legal rights when FedEx wrongfully charges you or refuses a refund. If FedEx ignores your complaint, you can escalate to Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

What if FedEx ignores my complaint?

Escalate with a Final Warning letter that references your intent to file a complaint with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and pursue small claims court. ComplainAI generates this escalation letter automatically.

Still no response after sending your letter?

If FedEx ignores your complaint letter, file directly with the relevant regulatory body. Our “Final Warning” tone adds this escalation threat directly to your letter.
