Frequently asked questions

Does FedEx text you when delivery fails?+

FedEx sends door tags for failed deliveries. Text notifications require opting into FedEx Delivery Manager at fedex.com/en-us/delivery-manager.html — they never contain payment links.

How do I reschedule a real FedEx delivery?+

Use the FedEx app or go to fedex.com and enter your tracking number. Real rescheduling is always free.

Is there a FedEx delivery fee for rescheduling?+

No. FedEx residential redelivery is free. Any text demanding a fee to reschedule is a scam.
