How to return a package with FedEx
Want to return an online order? You’re in the right place. First, decide which of the following situations describes you best.
I already have a label for my return shipment
You can drop off your package at one of 56,000+ retail and contactless FedEx® Drop Box locations.
I have a QR code return label from a retailer working with FedEx.
You don’t need to print anything. You can go straight to a FedEx or participating retail location, show your QR code, and a team member will print the label for you on the spot. Please check the email containing your QR code label for a list of participating drop off locations nearby.
I don’t have any kind of label yet.
You can create a label yourself on fedex.com or go to a retail location for help.
For help packing your shipment, visit a FedEx Office, FedEx Office at Walmart®, FedEx Authorized ShipCenter®, Office Depot® or OfficeMax® location. If you want to go to another location, you'll need to pack your shipment before you arrive.
Create loyal customers with simple returns
Offer your customers options for frictionless returns. Like QR codes they can bring to convenient retail locations for no-box, no-label returns.
Here’s what you’ll find below:
Creating a returns label
How can I create a return shipping label?
If you need to create a return shipping label and don’t have a preprinted FedEx label or emailed QR code from your online store, you can create one on fedex.com via your computer or mobile app. Download the FedEx® Mobile app, visit our label creator from a browser, or visit a FedEx Office or other participating FedEx location.
Can I create a return shipping label in-store?
Many FedEx locations can help you create a return label in-store. Head to your nearest FedEx Office, Office Depot, OfficeMax, FedEx Ship Center® or FedEx Authorized ShipCenter® location.
Printing returns labels
Can I get a preprinted return shipping label?
Check to see whether the online store provides a preprinted FedEx label for return shipping. If so, the store will either include a return label in the original shipment or send a label once you request it.
Can I print a label at home?
If an online store has provided a printable shipping label, simply print that label and attach it to your package. If you need to create and print a label, you can create one online and print it at home.
Sending a return with reusable packaging
How can I tell if I received a shipment in reusable packaging? And if I did, how do I use it?
If the retailer sent your product in reusable FedEx packaging, it’ll say it’s reusable on the front of it. You’ll also see two adhesive strips. One of the strips will have been used by the retailer. Just use the unused strip to seal the package, then send your return. You can even use it to ship an item to another recipient.
