Proof of delivery, pictures and delivery location
Signed or picture proof
FedEx says you can request proof of delivery online. Signed POD may include a signature image, while eligible residential shipments released without a signature can show a picture instead.
GPS proof
FedEx says GPS Proof of Delivery can show the nearest coordinates to where a parcel was marked delivered in the shipper account, providing another location check for disputed deliveries.
If FedEx says delivered but you cannot find the parcel
FedEx UK advises checking neighbours and nearby places first. Then use tracking to review the Proof of Delivery and see where the package was dropped off. If that still does not resolve the issue, FedEx says you can use Manage delivery to report the package as missing.
If a retailer arranged the shipment, send that evidence to the retailer too. Ask it to investigate the delivery and give you a clear order outcome rather than leaving you to handle the courier dispute alone.

FedEx Delivery Manager
FedEx Delivery Manager is available for eligible residential shipments and can provide notifications and delivery options. FedEx says recipients may be able to change the delivery date or location, including delivery to a pickup point or neighbour where available.
If a delivery dispute involves a changed location, neighbour or safe place, save the delivery settings and notification history so you can show exactly what was — or was not — authorised.
Claims and complaints
FedEx UK’s contact route includes claims for lost or damaged shipments and refund requests for late delivery. FedEx also says claims require supporting information, and its current conditions can impose claim requirements and time limits, so keep the tracking number, proof of value, shipment details and evidence together.
For damage, keep the contents, original shipping carton and packaging while the matter is unresolved because FedEx may require them for inspection. If a retailer arranged delivery, the retailer should still resolve your order with you while it deals with FedEx as needed.

Can FedEx show where the parcel was marked delivered?
FedEx says GPS Proof of Delivery can show the nearest coordinates to the delivery location in a shipper account. Picture proof may also show where an eligible parcel was left.

Keep tracking, Proof of Delivery, delivery photos or signatures, delivery instructions, order details, proof of value, return/drop-off receipts, damage photos, packaging and all seller or FedEx messages.
