When that happens, FedEx remains focused on supporting our customers and communities with services and information when you need it most. Thanks to our transportation and logistics network, we’re ready to assist with crucial humanitarian efforts as we keep commerce, healthcare, and other industries moving around the world.

Residential deliveries

Stay in control over your deliveries. Sign up for FedEx Delivery Manager to receive notifications on when to expect your deliveries, tell your FedEx driver where to leave packages at your home, and even redirect them to another address.

Regulatory news and updates

FedEx issues a regulatory alert when a new regulatory agency or legal requirement is established that may impact international shipping, or when an existing one changes.

A regulatory update can be issued to communicate any of the following:

  • A previously published regulatory alert is still in effect.
  • Deadlines have been extended.
  • Recently announced requirements have changed.

Fraudulent Email Alert

Group Created with Sketch.
Group Created with Sketch.

We have received reports of multiple fraudulent email campaigns disguised as FedEx delivery notices. These malicious spam emails can contain hyperlinks which, when clicked, will connect users to a compromised website that is hosting malware and can infect their computers or mobile devices. In addition, some of these emails may include an attachment, which, if opened, could infect the recipient’s computer or mobile device.

These fraudulent emails have appeared with a variety of subject lines, to include the following:

  • “Last reminder: First Name Last Name, please respond immediately.”
  • “FedEx: Not possible to make delivery”
  • “FedEx Express Ticket #12345”
  • “First Name FedEx International #12345”
  • If you receive a message matching the description above or any email that looks suspicious, do not open the email or click on any hyperlink. Do not open any attachment. Delete the email immediately or forward it to [email protected]

FedEx does not send unsolicited emails to customers requesting information regarding packages, invoices, account numbers, passwords or personal information. Unsolicited emails from an unauthorized third party cannot be prevented by FedEx. 

If you are expecting an email from FedEx, confirm the email was sent from an official FedEx email address ([email protected]) and never access any hyperlink that does not point to www.fedex.com. 

For more information about fraudulent emails visit the FedEx Trust Center.

In the fraudulent example above, the email contains a subject line “Last reminder: FirstName LastName, please respond immediately.” Selecting the button “Update My Address” will create a new email message prepopulated with a list of email addresses. This button, when clicked, could potentially execute code in the background which may be malicious. In addition, sending your physical address to any of the listed email addresses could potentially set you up as a target for additional scams.


fraud 1

In the fraudulent email example above, the hyperlink denoted by the underlined “here” can point to one of many thousands of infected URLs originating from all over the globe. Hovering your mouse pointer over the link will reveal what URL you will be sent to if you click it. Just visiting the site can infect your computer. Please do not access any hyperlink that does not point to www.fedex.com.
