FedEx typically begins deliveries early in the morning, around 8:00 AM on weekdays, making it convenient for most recipients. Delivery windows extend until 8:00 PM to accommodate busy schedules.

Delivery Windows by Day

FedEx structures its routes to start promptly after sorting facilities wrap up overnight processing.

  • Monday–Friday : Starts at 8:00 AM, ends 8:00 PM for most services like Ground and Home Delivery.
  • Saturday : Begins around 9:00 AM, up to 8:00 PM.
  • Sunday : Available for Home Delivery from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM in about 80% of U.S. residential areas.

These times reflect standard operations as of early 2026, with no major disruptions noted in recent updates.
