A Small Business Owner Wants to Know: Why is FedEx Refusing to Deliver My Packages?

April 12, 2023 by admin

“I have a small online business,” Darlene said. “I sell one of a kind cosmetic and beauty gift baskets. They’re really lovely, with completely vegan and chemical free products that that make women look and feel great. I advertise on Instagram and TikTok and the orders are really starting to roll in. There’s only one problem – I’ve had several orders now that FedEx has refused to deliver. What is going on?”

As a business owner, hearing that FedEx refused to deliver a customer’s order is of course upsetting. It’s important to understand what is going on.

If you’ve received notice of a delivery exception, it means your package has been delayed due to some event beyond FedEx’s control. This could be anything from bad weather in the area to the truck your package is on getting a flat tire. The order is still on its way to the customer, it will just be late.

If a package has been damaged or destroyed while in transit, FedEx will put a hold on the package. It will be returned to the shipment station where next steps (including contacting the shipper) will be taken to determine next steps.

FedEx will refuse to deliver packages in situations where the address is deemed to be unsafe; if fraudulent activity is suspected – such as an unusual person the driver doesn’t recognize from that address asking for the package; or if the package contains prohibited items.

The other reason that FedEx will refuse to deliver a package is because the recipient has refused to accept it. This refusal can happen before delivery is attempted, at the time of delivery, or after the delivery has already happened.

If the shipment is refused, FedEx will return it to the shipper. There may be additional costs to the shipper.

"I got a job in France and I had to organize my move there. Boston Pack and Ship took care of shipping my belongings. They picked up everything at my house, packed the furniture so it would not be affected during the travel and shipped it to Marseille, France. From the very beginning, Boston Pack and Ship addressed my concerns and answered my questions. They even gave me the information of the company they work with in Marseille so I could contact them directly, have an estimate on how much it will cost once in Marseille and how to proceed for custom/pick up. Boston Pack and Ship was always available to me, even once the shipment was on the boat and everything arrived in perfect shape! "
