*Due to air-cargo capacity constraints, we are adjusting delivery commitment times for several FedEx Express® services in the U.S. November 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. This includes changing the FedEx First Overnight Freight commit times to 10:30 a.m. or noon in most locations.
Additionally, FedEx money-back guarantee is suspended for FedEx Express® services for which money-back guarantee was previously reinstated November 1, 2021 through January 16, 2022.
