What Does “Refused By Recipient” Mean With FedEx?<\/strong><\/h2>\nIt basically means that the consignee refused to accept the package<\/strong>.<\/p>\nA recipient can do this in a few ways:<\/p>\n
\n- Wait for the driver to arrive at the designated address and then let the courier know that you want to refuse the delivery (usually, a valid reason would have to be provided).<\/li>\n
- Leave a note for the courier that says that you refuse to accept the package.<\/li>\n
- Refuse the delivery after the courier had left the shipment at the door by calling FedEx and bringing the delivery to the nearest depot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Why Can A FedEx Package Get Refused?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n- If the consignee is not expecting any shipments<\/strong>, then he would, most likely, refuse to accept an unknown package.<\/li>\n
- The person can refuse the delivery if he or she is not the person to whom the package is addressed<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- The recipient has simply decided that he doesn\u2019t need this package any longer<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- The consignee can choose to pick up the delivery at the FedEx office<\/strong>. In such a case, the delivery to the recipient\u2019s house would get canceled.<\/li>\n
- If the package and\/or the content is visibly damaged<\/strong>, then the recipient can also refuse to accept the package. A refund can be requested in such a case as long as the recipient has photo proof.<\/li>\n
- The delivery was late<\/strong>. The consignee that was planning on receiving the package in a certain timeframe can certainly turn down a delivery that didn\u2019t arrive on time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
By the way, a FedEx package can get refused by the company itself<\/strong>. For example, if the courier suspects that the package might contain prohibited items, the driver can choose not to deliver the package.<\/p>\nWhat Happens When A FedEx Package Is Refused?<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf, for any reason, the shipment is undeliverable, then FedEx is going to try to reach the sender.<\/p>\n

\n- Return the package to the sender<\/strong><\/li>\n

FedEx is going to pay the fees only if the package wasn\u2019t delivered to the recipient due to the fault of the company.<\/p>\n
Will FedEx Pick Up A Refused Package?<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf the driver has just delivered you the parcel, and you don\u2019t want to accept it, then you can certainly refuse to do that.<\/p>\n
