How Shipment Tracking Works

FedEx empowers its customers with state-of-the-art tracking technology, enabling them to monitor their shipments in real-time from dispatch to delivery. Through the FedEx website, mobile app, or customer service, customers can enter their unique tracking number to access detailed information about their package's journey, including current location, status updates, and estimated delivery time. This transparency ensures peace of mind and enhances the overall customer experience.

Tracking Number Formats

FedEx tracking numbers come in various formats, depending on the type of service used:

  • FedEx Express: Typically 12 digits or starting with "DT" followed by 8 digits for both domestic and international shipments.
  • FedEx Ground and Home Delivery: Usually 15 digits, but can extend to 20 or 22 digits for certain shipments.
  • FedEx SmartPost: Often begins with "92" followed by a series of numbers, totaling up to 22 digits.


These formats allow customers to easily track their shipments through FedEx's tracking system, ensuring they always know the status of their delivery.

If you still cannot locate the package, contact FedEx customer support immediately to report the issue and initiate an investigation.

Can I change the delivery address after my package has been sent?

Changing the delivery address after the package has been dispatched is possible in some cases through the FedEx Delivery Manager service.

What happens if I miss the delivery of my package?

If you miss a FedEx delivery, the driver will typically leave a door tag on your door with information on how to arrange for redelivery or where to pick up your package. You can also use the FedEx Delivery Manager to request a redelivery or redirect the package to a FedEx location for pickup.

How do I contact FedEx if there's an issue with my shipment?

Each country has its own support team and contact number, which can be found on the FedEx website under the "Contact Us" section. This ensures you receive the most relevant assistance for your location and shipment.

How can I estimate the shipping cost with FedEx?

To estimate the shipping cost for your FedEx shipment, you can use the Rate Finder tool available on the FedEx website. Input the details of your shipment, including origin, destination, weight, and dimensions, to receive an estimated cost. For more accurate pricing, especially for international shipments that may require customs duties and taxes, contacting FedEx customer support is advisable.

Scheduling a pickup is especially useful for large or multiple shipments and is available for both domestic and international services.

What does "In Transit" status mean on my FedEx tracking?

The "In Transit" status on your FedEx tracking means that your package is on its way to the delivery destination. This status is updated when your shipment is moving between FedEx facilities, is aboard a FedEx vehicle for delivery, or has been handed off to a postal partner for final delivery in the case of services like FedEx SmartPost.

How do I file a claim for a lost or damaged FedEx package?

To file a claim for a lost or damaged package with FedEx, visit the FedEx website and navigate to the Claims section.

This is particularly useful if you are unable to receive the package at your delivery address.

What should I do if my FedEx shipment is delayed?

If your FedEx shipment is delayed, first check the tracking information for any updates or notifications regarding the delay. Delays can occur due to weather conditions, customs clearance processes, or other unforeseen circumstances. If there is no clear reason for the delay or if the delay is extensive, contact FedEx customer support for further assistance and information.

How does FedEx handle international customs clearance?

FedEx handles international customs clearance by acting as a broker on behalf of the sender or recipient, depending on the Incoterm selected during the shipping process. FedEx may require additional documentation for customs clearance, such as invoices or special licenses. It's important to ensure that all paperwork is accurate and complete to avoid delays. FedEx provides guidance and support through its customer service and website for navigating customs processes efficiently.
