PERISHABLES

When a consignment containing perishable articles is delayed while in the possession of FedEx Express, is unclaimed or refused at place of delivery, or for other reasons is threatened with deterioration, FedEx Express may immediately take the following steps as it sees fit for the protection of itself and other interested parties:

  • the destruction or abandonment of all or any part of the shipment;
  • sending of communications for instructions at the cost of the shipper;
  • the storage of the shipment or any part thereof at the risk and cost of the shipper; or,
  • the disposition of the shipment or any part thereof at public or private sale without notice.

In the event of sale, FedEx Express is authorized to pay itself and other transportation services out of the proceeds of such sale all charges, advances and expenses of FedEx Express and other transportation services plus costs of sale, holding any surplus subject to the order of the shipper.

The sale of any shipment will not discharge the shipper and/or owner of any liability to pay any deficiencies.

For consignments refused entry by the country of destination, the shipper is responsible for incineration or destruction of the cargo and/or all costs associated therewith.
