How to Use a FedEx Tracking Number
A FedEx tracking number is usually a sequence of 12 to 15 digits. You can find it in the shipment confirmation email, on the shipping label or on the waybill. Entering the number in the tracking box shows which country and stage your shipment is in.
FedEx International Priority and FedEx International Economy are the most popular international services. Priority offers faster delivery while Economy provides a cost advantage. Choosing the right service for the urgency of your shipment saves both time and money.
FedEx Delivery Times
With FedEx International Priority, delivery to many countries is possible within 1-3 business days. Economy service can take 2-5 business days. Customs load, destination country and local holidays can affect delivery time.
To avoid customs delays, it is important that the invoice, contents list and HS codes are complete. The Shipbu shipment wizard guides you step by step to fill in these documents correctly.
The FedEx tracking screen can also show the estimated delivery date and time. Thanks to updates that notify you when the courier is approaching your address on the delivery day, you can be ready to receive your package and avoid delays such as re-delivery.
