National Service Disruption

Contingency plans have been activated to mitigate impacts of winter storms across the United States, including at our Memphis and Indianapolis hubs. Our top priorities are the safety and well-being of our team members, as well as providing our customers with the highest level of service possible. A National Service Disruption has been issued and shipments with a delivery commitment of Tuesday, January 27 may be delayed, with potential delays continuing throughout the week.

There may be different levels of impact depending on selected services, city, state, and ZIP Code. For shipment specific status information, track your shipment at fedex.com or residential recipients can enroll in FedEx Delivery Manager  to stay informed of their shipment’s progress.

Disruptions due to Victorian bushfires

Bushfires across Victoria are expected to impact our mail and parcel networks and result in delivery delays. Current impacted areas may include the Otway Ranges (Carlisle River), Walwa, Dargo and surrounding areas. Please note that, given the nature of bushfires, affected areas are subject to change at any time.

The safety of our people and the community is our priority and we’re working with local teams to monitor the situation. Australia Post may pause our operations and re-commence when it is safe to do so.

Some of our Post Offices are closed. Check our Post Office Locator for the most up-to-date opening hours.
