FedEx Says Delivered, but No Package in Sight—How To Solve

When expecting a parcel shipped by FedEx, at times, you may get a notification saying your order has been delivered but find nothing in your mailbox. Despite being an inconvenience, these cases are quite common in the world of shipping.

What’s wrong if FedEx says “delivered”, but no package was handed to you? Find out where your parcel is, how to act if it turns out that your FedEx parcel is late or lost, and how DoNotPay can help you report it and get compensated!

How To Check the Status of Your FedEx Package

When you’re not sure what happened to your package or if it takes too long to arrive, you should track it first. You will need a tracking code or a transportation control number (TCN). A FedEx Office order number or a door tag code are also acceptable.

There are four ways to check the delivery status:

1. Using the FedEx online tracking service
2. Downloading the FedEx Mobile app and inputting your tracking details
3. Calling customer care service at (800) 463-3339 and saying track my package
4. Sending a text message containing follow and your door tag code to 48773

What if FedEx Says My Package Was Delivered, but It Wasn’t?

If you can’t find anything in your mailbox even though the status update says “delivered,” there’s still a chance that your parcel is somewhere around. Here’s what you can do before reporting an issue:

• Check other areas around your home—If you live in a house, look around the mailbox, front door, and the other parts of your yard. The deliverer may have left the package in a safe place, such as a porch, back door, or carport
• Ask your neighbors if the parcel has been delivered to them by mistake—At times, if the house or flat number isn’t visible, the parcel may end up at your neighbors’
• Reach out to the person who was supposed to bring the parcel—Many shippers provide recipients with the deliverer’s contact information. Calling the delivery person and checking the whereabouts of your package may solve the issue fast
• Wait for a day or two—In some cases, the status changes to “delivered” too early—even before the package reaches the recipient

Once you are sure that the parcel didn’t arrive, you should contact FedEx and inform them about the problem. Disclose all required shipping details—your full address, tracking number, or any other necessary info. The company’s representative should start an investigation and get back to you when they have any updates, usually within a few days.

FedEx Never Delivered My Package—What Should I Do?

If FedEx confirms that your package got lost, you can file a claim with them. Here’s how to do it:

1. Visit the official website
2. Pick the Support tab and click on File a Claim
3. Complete an online form by entering the necessary details
4. Attach the supporting documentation

This option also helps when a FedEx parcel gets damaged in transit or some items are missing from it. Certain limitations may apply, which is why it’s advisable to always check the latest insurance information.
