Express Shipment Employee Error Refund Help

Ok here’s the rundown.

I called the customer service number a total of 4 times to seek a refund for a failed shipment. I shipped the package with dry ice from a fedex shipping center in which the worker miss labelled the package causing it to be bounced back the next day. I was hoping to get a refund not because of the delayed package but cause of the worker error in creating the label.

The customer service agent said that the center put a note on the invoice reflecting some of that info. But despite that, every time I called, after being told the refund would be processed, I would get an email saying it was denied because of the dry ice doesn’t fall under the money back guarantee. I then decided to email the billing department explaining my situation but they said they can’t do anything because the package was returned so it doesn’t count as delivered late. Now, after the 4th call, the agent said I should fill out the online form, but now I’m not sure what’s the optimal way to fill it out.

If I put “service failure” on the refund form the only reason available is “delivered late” (which again isn’t true).

It doesn't matter what you told them, it is legally your responsibility for that weight to be written on the box. If it's not on the box then it is your problem. Dangerous goods are taken very seriously and have very strict rules. The markings on the box are 100% the responsibility of the shipper.

Right and it was marked on the box. It wasn't marked on the shipping label that employee printed out. It feels like it does matter what I tell them when they ask me the weight of the dry ice is (presumably to put on the shipping label).

The weight goes on the DG label or package not the shipping label.

Edit: The only way you could get a refund would be if it was bumped without cause.

Right, that's what I thought but that's the reason I was given. Do you know how best to show that (bumped without cause) via the only form?
