File a claim online to start an inquiry. If your package was insured, FedEx may be able to refund you for the lost goods. If you know where the package is, you could also try contacting the people at the address to pick up the package yourself.

Once you file a claim for a missing package, it usually takes FedEx between 5 and 7 business days to get back to you. If it's an especially busy time (like during the holidays), it might take slightly longer than that.

If you were the person who sent the order, call FedEx customer service and provide them with the tracking number and the new address. You can only reroute a package once, so make sure it's heading to its final destination before you call.
