FedEx

Delivery exception - Business closed - No delivery attempt

FedEx tracking parcel

What this status means

FedEx planned to deliver to a business address, but the business was closed when the driver was due. The driver did not make a delivery attempt, so nothing was left and no one was asked to sign. The parcel is still with FedEx, usually at the local facility or on the delivery vehicle.

Is my package delayed?

This is a delivery exception, so the delivery has slipped from its planned run. It is not a loss or damage alert. The parcel is usually delivered on a later run once the business is open, but nothing is guaranteed.

What happens next

Most often the parcel goes back to the local FedEx facility (about two thirds of cases). In some cases it goes out again on a FedEx vehicle for delivery, and in a smaller share it is delivered. The same exception can also repeat if the business is still closed at the next attempt.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking the tracking history for a new delivery update.
  • Check that the business's opening hours and any receiving hours match the delivery address.
  • If the address is a business but you are at home, ask FedEx whether the delivery can be changed or the parcel held for pickup.
  • If the status stays the same for longer than usual, contact FedEx or the seller with your tracking number and order details.
