Common questions

  • How do tracking IDs work?

    Every FED airbill begins with FD and twelve digits. Spaces are ignored. Public samples live on the Track page if you want to see a full scan history before you ship.

  • What if Priority Overnight misses 10:30?

    The money-back guarantee applies in published metros when the delay is ours. File from Claims with the airbill. Weather and customs holds are excluded and are marked on the ticket.

  • Do you clear customs?

    International Priority includes brokerage on commercial invoices under $2,500. Duties can bill to shipper, consignee, or a third party. Held shipments appear as Held in customs with a desk note.

  • Can I hold a parcel at a station?

    Yes. Ask for hold-for-pickup at booking or from the control tower. Most city stations will keep a carton five days at no charge.

  • How do climate lanes work?

    Book Climate Controlled and choose 2–8 °C or 15–25 °C. We run qualified packaging or active containers, with excursion alerts to the tower in under four minutes.
