FedEx

Delivery exception - The business is experiencing an ongoing strike and cannot receive packages

FedEx tracking parcel

What this status means

FedEx tried to deliver to a business address, but the business is affected by an ongoing strike and could not accept the package. The parcel is with FedEx, usually at a local facility or on a delivery vehicle, and the delivery was not completed. It was not lost, and nothing is wrong with the parcel itself.

Is my package delayed?

Yes, this is an exception. The delivery did not happen on this attempt, so the parcel will arrive later than first planned. How much later depends on how long the strike lasts and on what FedEx decides to do with the parcel. The message by itself does not mean the parcel is damaged or lost.

What happens next

The next scans vary. Most often FedEx moves the parcel back into its network, with messages such as "On the way" or "Left FedEx origin facility". Less often the parcel goes back out for delivery, or is scanned at a hub or local facility. FedEx may hold the parcel, retry delivery, or reroute it.

What you can do

  • Keep checking the tracking history for a new scan.
  • If you can receive the parcel elsewhere, ask FedEx whether the delivery address can be changed or the parcel held for pickup.
  • If you are the seller or can reach the business, tell them the parcel is waiting, and ask whether another delivery location is possible.
  • If nothing changes for longer than usual, contact FedEx or the seller. Have your tracking number and order details ready.
