Is your FedEx package delayed? Here’s how to check the status of a shipment, understand its tracking information and see 2021 holiday deadlines.

A FedEx "delivery exception" means that an unexpected event prevented the delivery of the package, including a customs delay, holiday closure impacts or missing documentation.

In addition to severe weather, FedEX is also handling a high volume of packages this time of year while navigating the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and an industry labor shortage.

If you have questions, call your local FedEx store before you go about acceptable IDs. We also contacted FedEx to see how the company handles shipping a package on someone else's behalf with an ID.

Extra Services All FedEx and UPS services ship with tracking numbers but not all USPS packages do. Express Mail is the only USPS service that always includes free delivery confirmation.

Tips FedEx packages that require an adult signature or contain dangerous materials can't be routed to a different address. You are limited to rerouting each package one time.
