Seasonal weather events (such as severe winter storms or wildfires) and other disruptions (such as power outages, special events, and national emergencies) may occur and cause delays for inbound and outbound shipments.

The reason could be inclement weather, a natural disaster, a vehicle issue like a flat tire, or other conditions. We work hard to deliver every package as soon as possible, so a delivery exception doesn't necessarily mean that your shipment will arrive late.

Packages are scanned at various points between pickup and delivery. The frequency of scans varies, and it's not unusual for a shipment to go more than 24 hours without an update while it's on its way to the final destination. This is especially true during periods of long travel.

In the early days of FedEx, Smith had to go to great lengths to keep the company afloat. In one instance, after a crucial business loan was denied, he took the company's last $5,000 to Las Vegas and won $27,000 gambling on blackjack to cover the company's $24,000 fuel bill. It kept FedEx alive for one more week.
