The OakPark FedEx location is now becoming filled with angry consumers -- people who say their items are stuck inside.

FedEx admitted it wasn’t prepared at this particular facility for all the additional items that would pass through due the extra purchase being made during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A spokesperson for FedEx said they are taking steps to correct the problem. Those steps include:

  • More package handlers
  • More drivers
  • Diverting packages to other FedEx locations
  • Improving communication with customers
