    Anyone ever run into an issue where a box has been stuck at "Label Created"? Box was dropped off Friday at Fedex.

    Was it an actual FedEx location or a place that provides FedEx services?

    I live in a rural area and drop off FedEx packages at a copy shop. The boxes stay on Label Created until the box is picked up and brought to the local hub which is about an hour away. There is one pick up a day at the place, so if I miss the pickup it stays on Label Created for a while. Maybe you missed the Friday pick up?

    That I'm not sure of, as I'm on the receiving end of the trade. As of this morning, still stuck there. I'm wondering if he should be contacting Fedex by this point.

    Wouldn't hurt. Or ask them if they dropped at actual FedEx branch.

    If I drop a box after 3pm on Friday it will not show up in the system as anything but label created until late Monday. I think the system updates much quicker in less rural locations.

    I'll give it till tomorrow, as that's when it should have arrived under normal circumstances. Gotta love Fedex! :rolling_eyes:

    Yeah, always best to not drop late in the week. If they are not moving over the weekend, they tend to get stuck. Hopefully that is the case. Better late arrival than lost box!

    Exactly! Really hoping no interaction with Fedex is needed. The less opportunity for them to get nosy, the better.

    Local Fedex drivers pick up Mon-Fri from the hubs. If I get to one on late Friday or Saturday the package will sit there until pick up time on Monday. The number is in the system but the box isn't moving.

    Sender went to Fedex drop off to inquire. It missed the Friday pickup time, and is still at that location. Should be getting picked up today/tomorrow. There you have it!
