Why is my FedEx tracking not moving?

Understanding FedEx Tracking Delays

FedEx tracking may not update regularly, leading to concerns among shippers and recipients. Here are some reasons why tracking status may not move:

Infrequent Scans:

• FedEx does not scan packages continuously throughout their journey. Updates occur at key points, such as pickup, sorting, and delivery.
• On long routes or during peak periods, packages may go for extended periods without scans.

System Delays:

• FedEx’s tracking system may experience temporary delays due to high volume or technical issues. This can lead to updates not being reflected immediately.

Operational Constraints:

• Weather conditions, equipment malfunctions, or staffing shortages can disrupt operations and delay package handling.

Extended Transit Times:

• Expect delays between package pickup and delivery, especially during busy periods. The estimated delivery date is an estimate and may be subject to unforeseen events.

Tips for Dealing with Tracking Delays:

• Allow for some delay before contacting FedEx.
• Use the FedEx Virtual Assistant or Track by Reference number to check for updates.
• Contact FedEx customer service if the package is significantly overdue.
• Consider using other methods of tracking, such as the FedEx Mobile app or SMS notifications.

Remember:

• Tracking updates are not constant and may vary depending on the route and time of year.
• Delays are common in logistics, especially during peak periods.
• Stay informed about possible delays and adjust your expectations accordingly.
