An operational delay in FedEx refers to a setback in the normal processing and delivery of packages. It can happen due to various reasons, such as incorrect recipient address or postal code, missing or incorrect documentation, customs issues, inclement weather, high package volumes, and logistics. Operational delays can occur at various stages of the shipping process, including pickup, transit, and final delivery. When a package is affected by an operational delay, it means that somewhere the product is being affected by an uncontrolled phenomenon, and usually hard to make the shipping process forward. FedEx still prioritizes package security, and customer service is available to provide further information. Operational delays may take several days to resolve, but if you need your shipment urgently, consider reaching out to customer service for assistance.
