How Can I Place a Temporary Hold on My FedEx Delivery?

If you’ll be away, you can place a Vacation Hold through FedEx Delivery Manager, which allows FedEx Express and FedEx Ground shipments to be held for up to 14 days before delivery resumes.

How to set up a Vacation Hold:
1️⃣ Sign up or log in to FedEx Delivery Manager.
2️⃣ Go to “Vacation Hold” under your profile or “Manage Delivery” in a shipping notification.
3️⃣ Choose your hold start and end dates (up to 14 days).
4️⃣ Confirm your request. Deliveries will resume automatically afterward.

Common questions:
Is there a cost?
No, the Vacation Hold service is free with FedEx Delivery Manager.
Why isn’t my hold working?
Only FedEx Express and FedEx Ground shipments are eligible. If your shipment doesn’t qualify, the hold won’t apply.
