Returns and held packages
This store accepts Amazon returns. FedEx describes the process in three steps:
- Start the return in your Amazon account and choose FedEx Office as the drop-off location.
- Bring the item and the QR code Amazon gives you to the store.
- Hand both to the counter. FedEx says eligible returns need no box and no label.
The store can also hold incoming FedEx deliveries so you can collect them when convenient. That helps if no one is home during the day or if your building has no safe place for packages. FedEx One Rate offers flat-rate overnight and two-day shipping in FedEx boxes. FedEx notes that exclusions apply.
Hours and drop-off times
FedEx posts store hours, the last pickup time and the latest drop-off times for Express and Ground on the location page. These vary by day and change around holidays, so check the page before a deadline shipment. If a package must go out the same day, aim to arrive well before the latest Express drop-off.
