The FedEx Release Form is an essential tool for customers who anticipate a package delivery but will not be available to receive it in person. This form allows individuals to authorize FedEx to leave their shipment at a designated location, ensuring that their packages are not delayed. To use the form effectively, customers must print it out and complete several key sections. First, they need to specify their preferred delivery location, which can include options like the front door, back door, or another specified area. A valid signature is mandatory for the delivery to proceed, and the form must be affixed to the chosen location before 8:00 AM on the day of the expected delivery. Each package requires a separate Release Authorization, and if a neighbor's address is provided, that individual must also be available to sign for the package. Importantly, FedEx drivers exercise discretion regarding the safety and security of the delivery, which means they may not leave the package if conditions are deemed unsafe. By signing the form, customers release FedEx from any liability related to potential loss or damage resulting from leaving the package at the specified location. This proactive approach not only facilitates timely deliveries but also provides peace of mind for those managing their schedules around package arrivals.
