How to claim your FedEx late delivery refund

When it comes to delivering packages on time, FedEx is committed to upholding its promise of timely service. If they fail to deliver on time, they assure their customers of a FedEx Late Delivery Refund under their Money Back Guarantee policy. It's an added assurance that underlines FedEx's commitment to customer service. However, the process of claiming this refund is not always straightforward. Here's your ultimate guide to understanding and availing the FedEx Late Delivery Refund.

FedEx's Timely Service Promise

Every FedEx Ground and Express package is bound by a time-guaranteed service. If your package doesn't arrive as promised, you are eligible for a FedEx Late Delivery Refund as part of their Money Back Guarantee policy. To claim this, ensure your request is filed within 15 days of the appearance of the original invoice.

What If My FedEx Delivery Is Late?

If your FedEx delivery does not arrive on time, you can file a claim for a FedEx late delivery refund. For this, you will need your FedEx tracking and invoice number. You have two options to submit your claim:

1. Call FedEx at 1-800-Go-FedEx (1-800-463-3339) and mention "Refund." An automated system will guide you through the process. Simply follow the prompts, provide your tracking number, and you will receive instant confirmation or denial of your refund request. The system will also inform you of the reason if your refund is denied, such as due to weather delay.

2. Alternatively, you can log into the FedEx Billing Center and use your tracking number on your invoice to submit a refund request. This will yield an instant confirmation or denial online. However, remember, you need to have your account number registered with FedEx online billing to be eligible for a refund submission.

It's important to note that the FedEx Billing Center is only accessible to customers with payment accounts. Those who receive FedEx invoices in the US mail cannot access the FedEx Billing Center. In such cases, customers must either convert their account to online billing or call the 800 number mentioned above.

Navigating Common Hurdles for FedEx Late Delivery Refunds

Getting to the FedEx refund page is straightforward. However, there could be reasons why your shipment might not be eligible for a money-back guarantee refund. Some common causes include:

• The chosen FedEx service does not offer a guarantee (like FedEx Ground Economy).
• The shipping agreement you signed prevents you from claiming credits.
• The shipment was rerouted from the delivery address to a Hold at Location address.
• Your shipment contained dangerous goods or dry ice.
• Delays occurred due to reasons beyond FedEx's control, like weather or customs issues.
• Shipments made during holidays, such as Thanksgiving or Christmas, often have exceptions.

I've Submitted a Refund Request. What Now?

Upon approval of your refund request, FedEx will credit or refund the transportation charges for each shipment to the payer. You can find this credit in the Disputes and Adjustment History. Please note that this does not include any other fees or expenses FedEx may assess, such as fuel surcharges or additional accessorial fees.

If your refund request is accepted, your dispute resolution will read as follows:

"We are very sorry that we did not meet our service commitment to you. Your request for a billing adjustment has been approved. Tracking ID: 555555555555, Invoice number: 55555555. We will credit the charges associated with your shipment on your invoice. If you have already paid for this shipment, we will mail a refund check to the payor address for the portion that is already paid."
