what happens if i can’t sign for a fedex package?

If you can’t sign for a FedEx package, the delivery driver will typically leave a door tag with instructions on how to reschedule delivery or pick up the package from a nearby FedEx location. You may also be able to provide authorization for the package to be left at your address without a signature, depending on the shipper’s preferences and the contents of the package. It’s important to follow the instructions on the door tag or contact FedEx directly to make alternative arrangements for receiving your package.
