Delay - A request was made to change this delivery date

FedEx tracking parcel

What this status means

FedEx has recorded a request to move the delivery to a different date. The parcel is usually already in the FedEx network, at a local facility or on its way there, and is simply being held to the new schedule. The request may have come from the recipient, from the sender, or from FedEx itself after a delivery problem.

Is my package delayed?

This message is an exception, though not necessarily a problem. The delivery will not happen on the original date, so the package will arrive later than first planned. If you asked for the change yourself, that is expected. If you did not, the cause is more likely a missed delivery attempt, an address question or a local scheduling issue.

What happens next

FedEx normally updates the tracking with a new estimated delivery date. After that, the parcel moves on as usual: it goes out for delivery on the rescheduled day, or waits at the facility until then. If the change cannot be carried out, you may see another exception message explaining why.

What you can do

  • Check whether you, a family member or the sender asked for a new date. If so, just wait for it.
  • Keep watching the tracking page for the updated delivery date.
  • If you did not request the change and the date looks wrong or does not appear, contact FedEx with your tracking number.
  • If you bought from a shop or marketplace, you can also ask the seller, and have your order details ready.
