Occasionally a carrier will scan a package as delivered before it arrives at the final destination. When this happens, the package is usually delivered within the next few business days.
If you’ve waited a couple of days and you still don’t have the package:
- See if someone else accepted the delivery. Check with household members, neighbors, building managers, coworkers, the mail room, front desk and anyone else who may have accepted the delivery.
- Look around the delivery location. Carriers sometimes leave packages in a safe, hidden place on a side porch, in/around your garage or behind bushes.
- Look for a notice of attempted delivery. You may find an attempted delivery notice in your mailbox or P.O. Box or on your door. Follow the instructions on that notice to request redelivery or pick up the package.
- Contact the carrier. Ask if they have additional information about the package’s location. Have your tracking number or delivery confirmation number handy. If your package was shipped via FedEx they may be able to hold the package at their local hub for you to pick up. You can call FedEx to see if this is possible.
Please note carriers may deliver packages until 8 p.m.
