Frustration over FedEx’s Oak Park office has been growing. Social media is filled with hundreds of message from people who said the items they’ve ordered are being held hostage.
Residents said they’ve tried to get answers on what has been holding things up and were asked to leave the facility.
FedEx released the following statement regarding the situation:
FedEx Ground continues to experience a surge of package volume due to e-commerce growth during the current pandemic that has resulted in significant service delays for some packages in the Oak Park area. Contingency plans designed to decrease the backlog and restore service levels are being implemented, including securing additional package handlers and delivery resources; diverting some packages to several nearby FedEx Ground stations for delivery in the Detroit area; and communicating with certain shippers to manage volume destined to this area.
