Delivery option requested - Hold at FedEx Office request received - Check back later for shipment status

FedEx tracking parcel

What this status means

Someone, usually the recipient, has asked FedEx to hold this parcel at a FedEx Office location instead of delivering it to the address. FedEx has received that request and is processing it. The parcel itself is still moving through the FedEx network or waiting at a local facility. It has not yet been confirmed at the pickup point.

Is my package delayed?

No, this message by itself is normal. It is a record of a change to the delivery plan, not a sign of a problem. The line "Check back later for shipment status" means the request is not final yet. If the same line stays unchanged for longer than the previous steps took, the request may not have gone through.

What happens next

Once FedEx accepts the request, the tracking history should show that the parcel is being redirected to the chosen location. Later it should show that it has arrived and is ready for pickup. If the request cannot be applied, for example because the parcel is already out for delivery, FedEx may keep the original delivery plan.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking the tracking history for a confirmation of the pickup location.
  • Do not collect the parcel until the history says it is ready for pickup.
  • If nothing changes for longer than usual, contact FedEx with your tracking number and the location you chose.
  • When you collect it, bring a photo ID and the tracking number. If the parcel was a purchase, the seller can also help with order details.
