When I moved into my new apartment building I had a lot of deliveries so I signed up for FedEx Delivery Manager.

I put in my address but did not verify that I lived here in any way.

When I loaded my account settings in the “delivery instructions” it said “garage code 12345”. So that’s how I learned the garage code to my own building.

These delivery companies are shockingly loose with customer data, not surprised by this story.




I must be doing something wrong with FedEx Delivery Manager, because it doesn't actually let me manage deliveries. Unless your deliveries were all in-house through FedEx? I get a lot of shipments from other websites through FedEx and I can't "manage" the deliveries on those, not even a note to put the deliveries somewhere inconspicuous.
