what is shipment exception fedex

A shipment exception is an unexpected event that is delaying the delivery of a package. Some examples of shipment exceptions include customs delays, holidays, strikes, weather conditions, natural disasters, missing or incomplete addresses, and unexpected logistics issues. A shipment exception can be caused by a variety of factors, and it does not necessarily mean that the shipment will arrive late. In most cases, the package will still be delivered despite the delivery exception status, although it may take longer than expected. If a shipment exception occurs, you can track the progress of your package through the FedEx website or contact customer service for more information. To avoid shipment exception delays, it is recommended to consider weather delays, public holidays, federal holidays, and customs clearances when planning your shipment.
