Charles asks…
How long would it take a FedEx truck to deliver something about 28.5 miles from its current location?
The truck has left the FedEx facility in North Billerica, MA and I live in Revere, MA. Roughly 28.5 miles and the drive is usually 39 minutes by car. How long would it take the FedEx truck to get here with all those other delivery stops?
The truck left the facility at 6:44 this morning btw.
Nagesh answers:
Normally, they do the businesses first, and do not even start on the homes until after 10:30, sometimes not until after 3. However, on Saturday, most businesses are closed.
Well, it’s already noon in MA, and I don’t think they work past 7 p.m., except at Christmas time, so and they need 40 minutes to get back to the FedEx facility after they deliver to you, so they have to deliver within the next 6 hours or so. Probably.
The distance is not really the issue. The truck may only need 39 minutes to get to Revere, but once it gets there, it may take all day to deliver to all the houses there, so it could be late when it gets to you.
Mark asks…
How do I go about picking up my package from the local FedEx facility?
A very important package I’m waiting for has arrived at my local FedEx facility and has been sorted, according to their tracker. However, the estimated delivery date in the tracker is still three days from now. Since I’m in a hurry to receive this item, how can I arrange to pick up the package myself from FedEx?
I called their main support line and I was told that I couldn’t do this until they had already made at least one delivery attempt. A brief web search, however, returned many comments from people who have done just this before any delivery attempt was made.
How would I go about this? I can’t find my local facility’s phone number or address anywhere (Portland, OR). What all will I need to bring to prove that the package is mine?
Nagesh answers:
You should be able to call 1-800-go-fedex and have the package placed ON HOLD. Then, go to the station and bring a form of ID that shows your name (if it’s your package, if not you can’t pick it up) and that ID should have the same address that is on the package. As for finding the station’s address, ask the same customer service rep. Btw, I quit there a few months ago. Best decision of my life. It’s a hell hole of a company; a soulless corporation.
Ruth asks…
How long does Fedex Home delivery take going from PA to MD?
I ordered a package by Fedex Home Delivery today, and it actually got shipped today as well. I don’t think I will get a tracking number for whatever reason, but, as I know this service does deliver on Saturday, will a package shipped today (Thursday) from Pennsylvania to Maryland arrive Saturday? Or possibly tomorrow, Friday, because the distance is so close?
Fedex Home Delivery is the service. It is different than ground as it delivers on Saturdays.
Nagesh answers:
It could be overnight, but allow an extra day. This is such a busy season for Fedex.
Susan asks…
Is it possible to have shipments sent to FedEx locations instead of your home?
My uncle is mailing me a package through Fed Ex but I don’t want it delivered to my house, I would rather pick it up at a FedEx location near my house. Is this possible? Does he have to select an option like “hold at location’ or ‘will call’? Or can I just call Fed Ex once it ships and tell them my tracking number? (For this, do I call 1-800-GoFedEx or do I have to find the location hear my house and call them to request them to hold it for pickup?
Nagesh answers:
All of the above, it’s best (and cheapest) to have it sent to the local fedex station to begin with, if you have the tracking number you can also request (online if I remember right) to hold at the local station.
Sending it to the local station also save the $3 residential delivery fee.
If it has already been sent they may tag you with a address change fee.
You normally need to have a picture ID to pick up something at a FedEx station.
Steven asks…
How long will a package be in transit after it has reached my local fedex location?
My package arrived at my local fedex location today at 10:44, at 3:11 it was in transit. How long should it take to arrive?
Nagesh answers:
It depends on how it was shipped and where it was shipped to.
FedEx has several different levels of service. They offer Next Day Delivery (but probably not from California to Europe). They also offer 2nd service and ground service.
If you’re shipping FedEx Priority Overnight,It’s Next-business-day delivery by 10:30 a.m. To most U.S. Addresses; by noon, 4:30 p.m. Or 5 p.m. In remote areas; by noon, 1:30 p.m. Or 4:30 p.m. On Saturdays.
FedEx Ground service: 1–5 business days within the contiguous U.S.; 3–7 business days to and from Alaska and Hawaii.
FedEx Home is 1–5 business days within the contiguous U.S.; 3–7 business days to and from Alaska and Hawaii.
This is all assuming, of course, that you’re in the US…
