What is the FedEx Release Form?
The FedEx Release Form is a document that allows you to authorize FedEx to leave your package at a specified location if you are not home at the time of delivery. This form ensures that your package can be delivered securely and according to your instructions.
How do I fill out the FedEx Release Form?
To complete the form, print it out and provide the necessary information, including your tracking number, recipient name, and address. You must also indicate where you would like the package to be left and sign the form. Make sure to affix it to your front door before 8:00 AM on the day of delivery.
Can I use the FedEx Release Form for multiple packages?
No, a separate Release Authorization form is required for each package. This ensures that each package is properly accounted for and that the delivery instructions are clear for each individual shipment.
What happens if I do not provide a Release Authorization?
If you do not provide a Release Authorization, FedEx will not deliver your package. The driver requires a valid signature to leave the package, and without the form, the delivery cannot be completed.
Can I specify a neighbor to sign for my package?
Yes, you can indicate a neighbor or building manager on the form. However, they must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the package. Ensure you provide their address on the form for proper identification.
What if I want my package left in a different location?
You can specify your preferred delivery location by marking the appropriate option on the form. Options include the front door, back door, or another designated area. Be clear about where you want the package to be left.
Is there any liability if I authorize FedEx to leave my package?
By signing the form, you release FedEx from any liability for loss or damage that may occur as a result of leaving the shipment at your specified location. It is important to understand that once the package is left, FedEx is not responsible for it.
What should I do if I need to track my shipment?
You can track your shipment by visiting fedex.com and entering your tracking number. This will provide you with real-time updates on your package's status and location.
When should I submit the FedEx Release Form?
Submit the form on the day of your expected delivery, and make sure it is affixed to your front door before 8:00 AM. This timing is crucial to ensure that the driver sees the form and can follow your instructions during the delivery attempt.
