Local Delay - Your package may be late- local delivery restrictions

What this status means

FedEx has flagged a local delay. The parcel is in the FedEx network, usually at or near the facility that serves your delivery area. Local delivery restrictions mean something in that area is limiting deliveries for now. Examples are road closures, severe weather, a local event or access limits on a route. The parcel is not lost, and it is not being returned.

Is my package delayed?

Yes, this message is an exception. FedEx is telling you the parcel may arrive later than first planned. It does not mean the parcel is damaged or that there is a problem with your address or payment. The delay is caused by conditions in the delivery area, so FedEx cannot fix it by itself right away.

What happens next

Once the restriction eases, the parcel normally moves on to the local delivery station and is loaded onto a vehicle. The tracking then usually shows an out-for-delivery scan, followed by delivery. The delay may also take longer than usual to clear, in which case the same message can stay in your history for a while.

What you can do

• Wait and check the tracking again later. The estimated delivery date may be updated.
• Make sure someone can receive the parcel, or that a safe delivery spot is available.
• If the parcel is much later than the new estimate, contact FedEx with your tracking number.
• If you still have no answer, contact the seller and give them your order details and tracking number.
