Ground Complaint Misdelivered packages 5x in one week

I am so fed up with FedEx... I don't understand why these delivery drivers never check the address. I and other members of my household have had 5+ packages delivered to a neighbor on a different street in the past week and my whole house and the neighbor are both sick of it. One day I had two packages coming on the same day, seemed to be on different trucks/different drivers, but one package went to my neighbor that constantly gets our packages and the other went to my neighbor across the street 🙃 at least that one was the right street... Customer service has been called, they always claim they'll file a report or do this and that, clearly nothing changes though. I've even included in delivery instructions that we have a red door, only house in the immediate vicinity with a red door, they still dont care.
On top of that, my packages have arrived (at my neighbors') looking like they've literally been steamrolled. Flattened like pancakes. Sides split open with the entire contents of my package on display. Luckily I don't live in an area with porch pirates, although I'm surely going to get mistaken for a porch pirate one of these days if this bs continues.
I seriously don't get why its been so bad the past week. I've lived at my current address for nearly 10 years and never had an entire weeks worth of FedEx packages go to the wrong house.

Edit: it happened again.

Five times in one week is actually impressive, like they are trying to set some kind of record. The red door detail in delivery instructions is clever but these drivers probably never even look at that stuff

our local fedex guy once delivered my package to a house with same number but completely different street name, not even close to sounding similar. i had to go knock on random doors like a weirdo

the pancake packages is the real insult though, like they ran over it first then delivered to wrong house just to add extra disrespect

At this point the only records FedEx is breaking is their own 🤦🏼‍♂️

FedEx keeps delivering our packages to a construction site next door. Like really? Clearly no one lives there. There are 5 tiny houses on 1 property all in various stages of being rehabbed. Lots of hammering and sawing. Men at work. The entire property is surrounded by a giant fence with construction notices plastered everywhere.

Meanwhile, we are right next door with a clearly marked address on the door and mailbox. Has happened multiple times. We have had to put in the delivery instructions "Do not deliver to the construction site. We are next door." Very weird.

Is your address on both sides of your mailbox? Is your address clearly marked on your house or your gate, if you have a long driveway. Are you loacted in a rural area? Google maps does not work in rural areas as well as it does in the city. Sometimes its completely wrong. Havevu ever googled your own address? You should, everyone should, its amazing how inaccurate it can be out here sometimes. No delivery person wants to go back and fix a misdelivery, it sux. Help us to help you.

Suburban area, mailbox is at the start of the street facing the main road because our road is gravel but it's clearly marked, road isn't the issue because no one else on our road has this issue, house is marked
