That's for sure. I had a shipment that was labeled as delivery exeception because the "delivery attempted, customer wasn't home". I submitted a complaint on FedEx's website and then called as well. I ended up talking with the regional supervisor for my area and also with the route owner. They both talked with the driver and found out that he missed by package in the truck and was about 30 minutes from my house when he found it. He was done with his route and it would have taken him an hour to drive out, deliver my package and drive back, so he marked it as a delivery exception. Since PC doesn't require signatures, everyone knew that he wasn't telling the truth because it shouldn't have mattered that I wasn't home. And what he didn't know was that my babysitter was there ALL DAY and had the front door open at the time that he listed as "delivery attempted". Now, when I have a delivery, the driver (yes, still the same driver) comes and knocks on my door and if I am home, personally hands me the package. If there are large boxes, he even offers to bring them in the house for me.
Anyway, the point is that you need to contact FedEx because the system only shows what someone else entered... and that may not be accurate!

So, imagine my surprise about ten minutes ago when the phone rang at 7:40 AM and it was FedEx wanting to know what we could do about this! I guess I just put MY phone number in when I entered the show. It works out GREAT though because the address was the host's work address and nobody would've been there to get the packages! Now, they're coming to me today.
I'll say it while I can - I LOVE FEDEX!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a delivery exception?
A delivery exception occurs when a package cannot be delivered as scheduled due to unforeseen circumstances. This can include issues like an incorrect address, weather delays, or the recipient being unavailable to receive the package.
How will I be notified about a delivery exception?
You will typically receive a notification from the shipping carrier via email or text message. This notification will inform you of the delivery exception and may provide details on the reason for the delay and the next steps.
What should I do if my Pampered Chef order has a delivery exception?
If your order has a delivery exception, first check the notification for specific details. You may need to contact the shipping carrier directly for more information or to resolve any address issues. Additionally, you can reach out to your Pampered Chef consultant for assistance.
Will my delivery be rescheduled automatically?
In many cases, the shipping carrier will attempt to deliver the package again on the next business day. However, this may vary depending on the reason for the exception. It's best to monitor the tracking information for updates on the delivery status.
Can I change the delivery address after a delivery exception?
Changing the delivery address after a delivery exception may be possible, but it depends on the shipping carrier's policies and the current status of your package. Contact the carrier as soon as possible to inquire about making any changes to the delivery address.
