December 30th (2023)
The last day for FedEx Express delivery before Christmas is December 30th, 2023. This is an excellent option for those who need their items delivered quickly before the holiday. However, it’s important to note that usual delivery times will not apply, and packages may take longer to arrive. FedEx Freight operations will also be suspended for the holidays, so it’s important to plan if you need freight deliveries before the end of the year.

FedEx offers an excellent insurance option for its customers who send domestic shipments. They provide coverage up to $100 for free, and an additional charge will be applied for any additional insurance needs.

Each additional $100 of coverage is typically charged at $1.25. To provide even more protection, FedEx encourages customers to transfer the risk of their shipments to an approved third-party insurer.

What are FedEx holiday shipping Restrictions, and What do You Need to Know?
FedEx offers reliable shipping services throughout the holidays, including on Christmas Day. Customers can expect standard deliveries and pickup services on Good Friday 2022. However, retailers should be aware that there may be package pickup limits during this time due to the pandemic-fueled holiday season.
To avoid this, retailers can create a shipping label and hold the package at a FedEx location. Additionally, customers should be aware of an upcoming General Rate Increase (GRI), which could affect their shipping costs.
