Shipments may begin moving on Thursday and Friday pending FedEx’s decision on how much they can handle when they return to service.

Please check order status on FizTrade and tracking on FedEx for package updates and allow additional days for packages to be delivered.

IMPORTANT NEWS ON FEDEX CHANGES

IMPORTANT NEWS ON FEDEX CHANGES

FedEx Express and FedEx Ground will enable ID scanning functionality for deliveries of “Adult Signature Required” (ASR) packages in the U.S. The ID scanning technology reduces manual data entry at point of delivery, improving accuracy of recipient information and increasing efficiency.

Please inform your customers about the upcoming change to how Federal Express will be delivering packages sent with “Adult Signature Required.”

How to help your customers prepare for this change

Please have your valid government-issued photo ID ready at the time of delivery.

Effective 06/28/22 FedEx will introduce scanning technology that electronically captures the recipient’s first initial, last name, and automatically verifies that age requirements are met for shipments requiring an adult signature at delivery. The software does not record or store any other personal data (e.g., driver’s license number, birthdate, home address, etc.).

Winter Weather Alert

The Dallas Metroplex and much of the Eastern half of the United States is experiencing a severe Winter storm. Federal Express provided an alert stating that due to the freezing rain and icy roads there have been significant interruptions in service at their Memphis and Indianapolis distribution hubs. This weather has also caused the cancellation of pick-ups and deliveries in Dallas. Additionally, UPS is likely to experience a reduction in service during this weather event.

Please be aware that you will likely see no movement in packages within this region for a few days.

Thank you for your understanding.
