What It Means
"Shipment Information Sent to FedEx" is FedEx's version of 'Label Created'. The sender has transmitted the shipment data to FedEx — including weight, dimensions, addresses, and service level — but FedEx hasn't physically taken custody yet.
This status typically lasts a few hours to a day. Once FedEx picks up the package or it's dropped at a FedEx location, the next scan will say 'Picked Up' followed by 'At FedEx origin facility'.
What To Do Next

- 2Contact the sender to confirm drop-off or pickup.
- 3If 3+ days pass with no pickup, the sender hasn't completed the handoff.
- 4For businesses: verify your FedEx account pickup schedule and that you printed the label to the correct account number.
