Troubleshooting
FedEx tracking not updating
FedEx tracking not updating? Learn why FedEx scans stall and when a package is actually delayed.
Why it happens
FedEx Express and Ground use different networks; a Ground parcel can travel for a day or two between scans, while Express usually updates more frequently.
Weather events and sorting-facility backlogs are the most common causes of a FedEx scan gap. The package is typically still moving.
What to do
- Look for a "Pending" or "In Transit" status — FedEx often shows an updated estimated delivery date even when the last scan is old.
- Sign up for FedEx Delivery Manager for proactive notifications and delivery options.
When to escalate
If there's no update for several days past the estimated delivery, contact FedEx at 1-800-463-3339 with your tracking number.
