Sorry, we missed you! We left a door tag because the attempted delivery of your package(s) was unsuccessful.

We could not leave your package(s) for one of the following reasons: a signature is required, import duties, taxes and other related fees need to be collected, the package contains dangerous goods, or due to security reasons/restrictions. 

Understanding your FedEx door tag

Please follow the instructions on the door tag to retrieve your package(s).



Package Availability

Pickup – If either of the first two checkboxes are checked, you can pick up your package(s) at the FedEx retail location listed on the back of the door tag. 

Reattempt Delivery – Depending on the delivery requirements, FedEx may make another attempt the next business day.

Adult Signature Required – Someone 19 years or older must be present to receive and sign for the package(s).



Tracking Options

The door tag number on the front corresponds to your FedEx tracking number. Use your door tag or tracking number to check the current status of your package (see section 4 of the labelled image for the location and format of the door tag number).

Please use a valid FedEx Tracking ID


Import Duties & Taxes

If checked, visit fedex.ca/paynow to pay any charges, including duties, taxes, and other related fees, or download your payment receipt, using your door tag or tracking number. Accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or PayPal.



Door Tag Number

The door tag number starts with a DT followed by 12 numbers and can be used to track your package(s).



Signature Release

If an indirect signature is required, you may sign in the signature box. This signature authorizes us to leave your package(s) at the delivery location the next business day.*
