What Is a FedEx Door Tag?

A FedEx Door Tag, officially called a “Shipment Release Authorization”, is an important document used for redirecting deliveries if you are out when they arrive.

If you are expecting a package from FedEx, but expect that you won’t be home at the time of delivery, you should leave a Door Tag for the courier.

You can use the form to designate another place to leave your package, such as a neighbor’s house.

What Happens if I Don’t Leave a FedEx Door Tag for the Courier?

Without the Door Tag completed and signed by you, the courier cannot deliver the package.

If a courier tries to deliver a package and there is no Shipment Release Authorization, they will leave a different sort of door tag for you.

This details the date and reason why the delivery couldn’t be made. It also tells you the different steps you can take to rearrange the delivery of your package.

In the meantime, your package may be delivered to a nearby FedEx Office, Walgreens store, or other FedEx location. This information will be provided to you. You will then be able to pick up your package from this place.
