SUMMARY

Adding delivery instructions to FedEx shipments can be accomplished by utilizing the second address line. Users have confirmed that including specific instructions, such as "use side door and leave in garage," in this field is effective. However, it is important to note that there is no guaranteed method for ensuring the delivery personnel will see these instructions.

Not sure which forum this belongs in but thought I'd start here.

Has anyone ever added instructions to FedEx before? I have a host that asked if I can give them an instruction to "use side door and leave in garage".
I was considering trying to add that in the address line since we have two lines. Do you think that would work or does anyone know another way to pass along instructions?
 
No we cannot. She can leave a note on her door and hope that they see it.
 
Yes, I have put it in the 2nd address line before.
