FedEx Package Not Received — Delivery Dispute Steps
If your FedEx order shows delivered but was not received, request the carrier event trace from support and ask for a refund or replacement in writing.
Why this happens
- The carrier scanned the package as delivered in the wrong location.
- A split shipment was not communicated clearly in your tracking updates.
- The delivery confirmation and the merchant's fulfillment record do not match.
What to try first — step by step
- 1.Gather your order ID, full tracking history, and any delivery photos from the carrier.
- 2.Contact support and ask them to run a carrier event trace on your shipment.
- 3.Request your options in writing: replacement, redelivery, or refund.
- 4.If the package shows "delivered," escalate with a timeline showing you were not home or no delivery was made.
- 5.Keep all updates under one case number so the history is clear.
How long resolution usually takes
2–10 business days depending on carrier verification requirements.
What to do if support is not helping
Escalate when any of these are true:
- Support repeats scripted responses without reviewing the actual tracking evidence.
- No resolution owner is assigned after your initial report.
- The case is closed while the item is still missing.
