Is FedEx’s Scheduled Delivery Time accurate?

Most of the time, the delivery date given by FedEx is accurate. But the package is not able to deliver on time sometimes due to bad weather and operational issues.

Let me share my personal experience with you:

Till date, 70% of all my packages delivered by FedEx have arrived on the exact delivery date, and sometimes my packages even reach 1-2 days before the expected delivery date .

And 3-4 of my FedEx packages were late, maximum 2-3 days late only. And in this shoes order, I gott this tracking status “Scheduled Delivery Is Pending”, so this order will also be delcared as late.
