FedEx Fatturazione

Since many people shop online, they may contact delivery services to track shipments, report problems or find out where they can ship items. When a consumer calls 800-622-1147, the FedEx customer service number, they will find that an automated voice response system will answer their call. I called the number to find the closest drop-off location.

The system began by saying that the company may monitor or record the call. Then, it thanked me for calling FedEx Revenue Services, which was confusing. I wasn’t sure if I had reached a revenue department or a number specifically for business purposes.

The automated voice asked me what I would like to do. It included the following options: Make a payment, rebill a shipment, get invoice information, request a credit or refund, get an account balance or update credit card information. I could say “more options,” which I did. Then, the system said I could schedule a pick-up, track a package or ask it to find a location. It also said I could find the nearest location online at local.fedex.com.

The voice continued speaking and asked me if I wanted to ship a package and if I would like a location in my area. It followed that statement by asking if I wished to find the closest location or the latest package drop-off time. I selected the nearest location, which gave me two locations, one inside a business and another near a drop box near a business. It gave me the addresses for the sites and the drop-off times.

The system also told me the maximum weight and size of the packages I could drop ship from those sites. After the system gave me the information, it told me I could say, “I’m done,” if I had what I needed. It offered a few other options and said I could hang up if I had finished.

Rather than robotic prompts, the system’s voice was pleasantly helpful. It began by stating the services I could access at this number without having me work through a complex menu. I could speak my needs to the system, and it answered with recommendations that I was seeking when I called the number.

Although I did not get to speak with a human on this call, this automated customer service attendant handled this call better than many systems I’ve experienced.

It seems that whoever designed the system understood how an automated attendant should respond to customer calls, especially when there is no opportunity to talk with a customer service associate. I appreciate the efforts that went into making the interactions with this customer service number user-friendly.
