Limit Signature Release For Free

The signature release allows for the recipient to opt for the receipt of their shipment without the need for a signature, allowing our courier to leave the parcel at an agreed-upon area.

In some cases, when a package can't be left at a residential address (e.g., it requires a signature or the driver can't find a secure spot), we'll deliver it to a nearby FedEx location or participating retail partner like Walgreens or Dollar General.

Generally, FedEx requires a signature on all deliveries. However, we may be able to leave your package without a signature on the following conditions: - Have a suitable secure location to leave your package. - Your signature on the delivery attempt notice.

However, signatures are always required for many types of shipments to be delivered, such as permitted shipments of alcohol, high value package goods, dangerous goods, hazardous materials, pharmaceuticals, and firearms.

Some Companies Require Your Recipient to Sign for a Package in Order to Insure the Shipment. Sending sensitive items like firearms isn't the only instance when you need to add signature confirmation to your package. You'll also need your recipient to sign in order to insure certain high-value or breakable items.

FedEx Signature Release is a delivery confirmation service that lets you secure your domestic and international shipments. For an added fee, you can require the recipient to sign for the package. If no signature is obtained, the delivery driver doesn't release the package.

If nobody is available to sign for the package or the recipient cannot find/does not have a suitable, valid ID, the mailman will take the package away and attempt redelivery at some other time. A note will be left to let the recipient know that delivery was attempted, and that USPS will redeliver at a later date.

Release Signature on File - The sender or recipient used their option of authorizing delivery of a package with a release signature that FedEx has on file.
