You can also use FedEx InSight to track moderate to high volume shipments without tracking numbers. FedEx InSight is ideal when you want to manage your shipments across multiple locations and accounts.

Sometimes, it may take 24 hours after the shipping label is generated to update the tracking information. What happens when
FedEx tracking fails to update?
It is recommended that you wait 24 hours for FedEx to update the tracking information. Sometimes, there may be delays before the package is picked up by the carrier or it may be picked up but still needs to be scanned by the driver. If your FedEx tracking information is not up to date after 24 hours, consider contacting FedEx Customer Support to find out what's going on and resolve any concerns.
