Whether you’re buying yourself a new pair of shoes or looking forward to a birthday present from a loved one, waiting for a package can feel endless. Fortunately, companies like FedEx provide up-to-date tracking information so you can keep an eye on your items.
But more importantly, most customers want to know when (and how late) FedEx will deliver. I’ll tell you everything you need to know in this article. Read on and never have to wonder when your package will arrive again!
How late will FedEx deliver in 2022?
Starting in 2022, regular FedEx delivery hours will be 9:00 am to 8:00 pm every day of the week. In some cases, such as during holidays, FedEx may deliver as late as 9:00 pm or 10:00 pm, but is unlikely to receive delivery after 10:00 pm. Some services include a money-back guarantee.
There’s more to know about FedEx delivery times, so be sure to read on!
What is FedEx’s end of day?
For almost every service, FedEx defines the end of the day as 8:00 PM (local time).
However, some services may stop delivering around 5:00 PM when most FedEx offices are closed, but for services such as FedEx Home Delivery, the day ends at 8:00 PM.
In fact, packages sent via the overnight home delivery service will arrive anytime between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm.
Additionally, FedEx Appointment Home Delivery is more precise, allowing customers to schedule drop-off windows between 9:00 am and 8:00 pm.
When it comes to shipping packages, FedEx cutoff times vary depending on where you’re shipping.
Additionally, some FedEx shipping locations may close local packages at 7:00 PM.
Therefore, if you plan to ship later in the day, be sure to confirm the cutoff time with your local FedEx office.
How late is FedEx Saturday delivery?
FedEx’s standard Saturday delivery hours are 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
How late is FedEx shipping on Sunday?
Currently, FedEx typically delivers on Sundays between 8:00am and 8:00pm.
How late does FedEx Night Delivery arrive?
FedEx Night Home Delivery is one of the options offered by FedEx Ground Services.
That is, packages sent through this service will arrive between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm Monday through Saturday.
Does FedEx deliver after 8:00pm?
In most cases, FedEx deliveries are completed by 8:00 PM. That said, I’ll discuss some exceptions below.
For example, a driver might deliver after 8:00 PM to ensure that a package sent via a guaranteed delivery service (eg, 2-day or overnight) arrives on time.
Also, they may have to be delivered later due to bad weather, traffic issues or other delays throughout the day.
Additionally, deliveries may occur during the busy holiday period (i.e. between Thanksgiving and New Years).
As in the previous example, FedEx drivers want to deliver on their delivery promises as much as possible. During this period, this usually means working hours later than usual.
In either case, you may receive your package by 9:00 PM. Typically, you will not receive any packages after 10:00 PM.
However, a good way to know if your package will arrive later in the evening is to check the tracking information.
As long as it shows an “Out for Delivery” status, it’s possible that your item will arrive the same day.
What if FedEx doesn’t deliver on time?
How FedEx responds to late deliveries depends on the service the customer chooses.
For example, if a customer chooses one of the following services and FedEx delays delivery, the customer will receive a full or partial refund.
Thus, FedEx services with a money-back guarantee include:
- FedEx First Overnight
- FedEx Priority Overnight
- FedEx Standard Overnight
- FedEx First Overnight Hours
- FedEx prioritizes overnight overtime
- FedEx Standard Overnight Hours
- FedEx International Priority
- FedEx International Priority
- FedEx International Priority Express
- FedEx International Priority Shipping
To request a refund or bill adjustment, please contact FedEx Customer Service at 1-800-FEDEX (1-800-463-3339).
Services such as FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, and FedEx Office do not offer a money-back guarantee.
In these cases, late delivery is just an unfortunate delay and this service is not guaranteed, so the customer cannot claim a refund.
Instead, all they can do is wait for their package to arrive and hope it doesn’t take too long.

in conclusion
FedEx does a great job of delivering all packages by 8:00pm every night.
That said, traffic, weather, or a particularly busy day may mean deliveries are delayed until 9:00pm or 10:00pm.
