What Does Your FedEx Delivery Status Mean?
Depending on what your tracking status is, there are different routes you can take next. Check the table below for an overview of the potential delivery statuses:
Tracking Status | Meaning |
In transit | Your package is on its way to you. It may be in transport at the moment or at a FedEx facility |
Out for delivery | A package handler scanned your package and prepared it for loading onto a FedEx truck for delivery |
No scheduled delivery date at this time | FedEx may not have your package yet. Another reason for this status is encountering a delay or an exception in handling the parcel, so an accurate date is unavailable |
Scheduled delivery is pending | There is a delay, but the FedEx staff is handling it to deliver your parcel as soon as possible |
Delivery exception | A delivery exception signifies an unexpected situation that is causing a delay. The situation can include:
|
If you’ve been checking your tracking number for some time and you see no change, it doesn’t mean your package isn’t moving. While FedEx usually updates the delivery statuses every day, sometimes the update can take even longer than 24h, especially for long-distance shipments.
