- Does FedEx offer weekend delivery?
-
FedEx Express® offers Saturday delivery options to most metropolitan postal codes. Select the Saturday delivery option and then select FedEx Priority Overnight® service if you will ship the package on Friday or FedEx 2Day® if you will ship the package on Thursday. The shipper must select the Saturday Delivery special handling option at the time of shipment.
FedEx Home Delivery® offers standard Saturday delivery to residential addresses and may deliver on Saturdays depending on the transit time from origin to destination.
A Saturday delivery surcharge will apply to FedEx Express® shipments.
Using one of our online tools is the best way to determine transit times for your shipments. Follow one of our links to find the service that best fits your needs.
FedEx SameDay® and FedEx® International Next Flight provide same-day service in the shortest time possible. Call 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339 for availability and rate.
If the Saturday Delivery special handling option is not selected, a shipment sent overnight on Friday will be delivered the next business day: Monday. If the Saturday Delivery special handling option is not selected, a shipment sent via FedEx 2Day on Thursday will be delivered the second business day: Monday.
- What are my choices for overnight delivery?
-
Recognizing your deadlines can vary day to day, FedEx provides three overnight delivery options: FedEx First Overnight® by 8, 8:30, 9 or 10 a.m. the next business day; FedEx Priority Overnight® by 10:30 a.m. the next business day; and FedEx Standard Overnight® by 3 p.m. the next business day. The latter is a cost-effective choice if you can wait for afternoon delivery.
In some cases, FedEx Ground®, FedEx Home Delivery® and FedEx Freight® may provide overnight service depending on locations and distances involved. For specific delivery commitments based on your shipment's origin and destination, please see our Get Rates & Transit Times application.
- How do I determine the address my package was delivered to?

- I wasn't home when FedEx tried to deliver my package, now what can I do?
-
For packages not requiring a signature for release, our drivers will leave the package at a recipient's door, or other secure location, if the driver believes it is reasonable to do so.
In most cases, FedEx will attempt to deliver your package three times before returning to the shipper.
When the driver is unable to leave your package, they will leave a door tag on your door, informing you of the delivery attempt. The door tag contains information that may offer you the option to sign the door tag and have the driver leave your package in a secure location on the next delivery attempt, typically the next business day.
If signing the door tag is not possible because the shipper has requested an in-person, direct signature, you may request your package be held for pickup at your nearby FedEx Office location. For FedEx Express® packages, you may also request the package be held at the delivery station.
- I won't be able to sign for my package, what can I do?
-
For packages not requiring a signature for release, our drivers will leave the package at a recipient's door, or other secure location, if the driver believes it is reasonable to do so. If your package was shipped with the Indirect Signature Release option, you may leave a signed and dated handwritten note on the door instructing the driver to leave the package at your door.

-
Packages in the FedEx system receive scans at various points between pickup and delivery. It is not unusual for a package to go more than 24 hours without a scan while in transit – your package may be traveling as intended.

-
Customs and clearance delays occur for a variety of reasons. If additional information is required from the shipper or recipient, FedEx will attempt to contact them.
- I tracked my shipment, and there are no scans. What should I do?
-
If there are no scans for the tracking number entered, contact your shipper to verify the tracking number is correct. If you are the shipper, and it has been more than 24 hours since you dropped off the shipment or had the shipment picked up, please contact us at 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339.

-
Shipments may move through regional sorting locations before arriving at the delivery destination. Often times this may not appear to be the most direct route from the pickup location to the delivery destination.
- When I first tracked the package, it had an estimated delivery date, and now there isn't one. What does this mean?
-
We are able to provide the estimated delivery date information for many of our shipments. When the shipment encounters a delay or an exception in handling, we may not be able to accurately state when we expect the package to be delivered.
- What does the "status of exception code" mean?
-
This is information noting that there was an exception to the traditional in-person courier delivery. For example, perhaps no one was at the destination address so the package was left with a neighbor or front desk, or it was not left and delivery will be reattempted, or it was left without a signature because we had prior approval from the sender or recipient to do so.
