Your heart races with anticipation as you eagerly await the arrival of your shiny new Mac Book Pro, ordered with great excitement from Best Buy. Today is the day, and you’ve been counting down the hours until its arrival. Suddenly, a notification lights up your phone screen, and your heart sinks as you read the dreaded words: “Package could not be delivered.”
Disbelief washes over you. How could this be happening? You’ve been dreaming about this moment for days, and now it feels like it’s slipping away. Instant regret floods your mind as you realize that perhaps you should have just gone to the store and picked it up yourself when you had the chance.
But then, a spark of determination ignites within you. No, you refuse to let this setback dampen your excitement. There has to be a solution. With a surge of optimism, you begin to explore your options, determined to salvage this situation and finally get your hands on that coveted MacBook Pro.
What can you do?
Try giving FedEx a call, they may be able to get in touch with the driver and have them return with your package. Just follow the steps below and cut through the automated assistant.
To speak with a live person at FedEx and connect to the driver, follow these steps:
- Dial the FedEx customer service number: +1 (800) 463-3339
- When prompted, say “main menu.”
- Press 7, then 7 again, and finally 8.
- You’ll be asked to provide a tracking number. Remain silent, and after a few moments, you’ll be connected to a FedEx representative.
What Happens Next?
Typically, the likelihood of a successful resolution stands at a neutral 50/50. Should you encounter a cooperative driver, they might extend the courtesy of returning the package after their final delivery. Conversely, if the driver is less accommodating, your best recourse could involve retrieving the package from your nearest FedEx Hub or arranging for it to be held at a designated FedEx location. Often, the explanations provided for delivery complications appear nonsensical in many instances.

The Story
Jazel, a dedicated Web Operations Engineer, sat at his desk in Chicago, his mind buzzing with excitement for the upcoming website launch. But amidst the flurry of preparations, he couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that he was neglecting something important: his time with his wife and their beloved dog.
Determined to strike a better balance between work and personal life, Jazel decided to make a change. He reasoned that investing in a new computer would streamline his workflow, allowing him to spend more quality time with his loved ones. After much research, he settled on the sleek Apple Mac Mini and promptly ordered it from Best Buy online.
Days passed, each one filled with anticipation as Jazel eagerly awaited the arrival of his new computer. Finally, the expected delivery date arrived, but instead of the anticipated knock on the door, Jazel received a text notification from FedEx: “Package delivery failed.”
Disappointment flooded through him as he read the message. With a sinking feeling, he realized he would have to make the trip to the FedEx hub in South Holland, IL to retrieve his long-awaited Mac Mini. Resigned to the inconvenience, Jazel set out, determined not to let this setback dampen his spirits.
Arriving at the bustling FedEx hub, Jazel navigated through the sea of packages, his eyes scanning for his precious delivery. After what felt like an eternity, he finally spotted the familiar box containing his new computer. With a sense of relief, he approached the counter to collect it.
As he drove back home, Jazel couldn’t help but feel a renewed sense of excitement. Despite the unexpected detour, he knew that this Mac Mini would be instrumental in achieving his goal of spending more time with his family.
That night, with his wife by his side and their dog curled up at their feet, Jazel unboxed his new computer with care. As he powered it on for the first time, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation building within him. Tomorrow night marked the launch of the website he had been tirelessly working on with his friend, co-worker, and mentor. And now, with his new Mac Mini, he was ready to embark on this exciting journey.
With a contented smile, Jazel leaned back in his chair, savoring the moment. As he glanced at his wife and their dog, he knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter—one where work and life harmoniously coexisted, thanks to a small but significant decision and a little bit of patience.
