FedEx

On the way - A trusted third-party vendor is on the way with your package

FedEx tracking parcel

What this status means

FedEx has handed your package to a partner carrier, which FedEx calls a trusted third-party vendor. This is usually a local delivery company that handles part of the route, often the final leg. The parcel is out of a FedEx facility and moving with that partner. The message can repeat as the parcel changes hands or the scan is updated.

Is my package delayed?

No, this message by itself is normal. It is not an exception. Most often the parcel went on to delivery, though some went back through a FedEx facility or onto another FedEx vehicle first. A small share of cases ended in a delivery exception, such as a request to change the delivery date.

What happens next

  • Delivered, the most common next step, in about three in ten cases.
  • Another partner scan with the same message, or a return to a local FedEx facility.
  • "On the way" or "On FedEx vehicle for delivery" as the parcel moves closer.

What you can do

  • Wait and keep checking the tracking history. Updates from partner carriers can be less frequent.
  • If the parcel stays on this message for longer than the previous steps took, contact FedEx with your tracking number.
  • If FedEx cannot help, contact the seller with your order details and delivery address.
  • Make sure someone can receive the parcel and that your address and phone number are correct.
