Can anyone answer this for me? I have a fedex overnight delivery coming sat. My problem is, they don't deliver on saturdays but their hub is open all day, Do you think they will let me pick it up or do I have to wait for monday.? It is an overnight package. Thanks for anyones help.
Hi, If it is supposed to be delivered on monday, they probably will not let you pick up. I had an order I placed on friday overnight for monday delivery, I checked on saturday and it was at my local hub, I called and fedex and they told me they do not "uncontainer" Monday's packages until Sunday night, but I would call and ask anyway, because you never know what these shippers will do. Good Luck.
No, it is supposed to be delivered on saturday.Thats why I thought maybe I could pick it up sat but now I'm thinking since fedex knows they don't deliver on sat. here, will they personally stamp it for monday?

If your package was sent Friday and has made it to the local hub on Saturday, there's a good chance that FedEx will pull it and allow you to pick it up. Just call CS and ask. I've done this a few times for non-meds stuff and they've come through all but once. And if you tell them it's medication they'll give it some extra attention. Sometimes though they'll tell ya stuff is still "containerized" and they can't touch it until Monday when they have more workers available. In any case it's worth a shot. Good Luck!

This is a pointless question...which you don't have to answer, of course...but I'm curious as to your reply.
Why did you have it shipped for Saturday delivery? Maybe you weren't aware they didn't deliver on Saturday at the time you placed your order? Or did you just do it in the hope your package would arrive Saturday and you could pick it up?
Check the tracking around 9 in the morning and see what the current status is. If it says something like "at FedEx sort facility", it won't be available for you to pick up. But if it says "arrived at FedEx destination location", you'll be able to get it.
They're very good at accommodating their customers. Also, you PAID for Saturday delivery.
I wouldn't call their 800 number. If you have the number for your local station, call them. But if it was me, I wouldn't call at all. IF your package is at the destination location and IF it's not a terribly long drive for you, just go there.
