How to Use Within the U.S., when a recipient wishes to pick up a package rather than have it delivered, the sender must select Hold at FedEx Location on shipment documentation and enter the address of the FedEx location where the package is to be held. If you include the recipient's telephone number, we'll try to contact the recipient after the package arrives at our facility. For location addresses and hours, check our drop-off locator or call 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339 and say "find FedEx locations."

To request it, select Hold at FedEx Location on shipment documentation and enter the recipient street address and phone number, plus the location code, which we can provide when you call us at 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339 and say "international services." Shipments not picked up by the recipient within five business days at the destination location will be considered undeliverable.
