More visibility for your customers. Fewer customer service calls for you.
Whether a shipment is going to a residential address or a business, recipients can keep an eye on their package in transit. When customers know where their shipments are, they’re less likely to call or email you.
Residential recipients can use FedEx Delivery Manager® to track packages, receive delivery alerts, and get picture proof of delivery.
If a signature is required, someone at the residence or business must sign to get the package. If nobody is there, we can reattempt the delivery.
