FedEx Africa Delivery Times & Schedule
FedEx transit times in Africa depend on the service you choose (such as FedEx International Priority, International Economy or local domestic options), the origin/destination pair, and customs clearance in each country. Time-definite international services typically deliver between 1–3 business days to and from major African cities and global hubs, while economy options can take 4–6 business days or longer for remote locations. Rural areas, islands, and destinations with limited infrastructure may need additional days. Use FedEx online Rates & Transit Times tools and your local country page to get precise estimates based on postcode, weight, and service level for your shipment.
FedEx Africa Weekday Hours: Typically around 08:00–17:00 or 18:00, Monday to Friday, depending on the country, city, and station. Always confirm exact opening times via the Find FedEx locations tool or your local FedEx country website.
FedEx Africa Weekend Hours: Many locations are closed on Sunday. Some major city stations and airport facilities may offer limited Saturday pickup, drop-off, or delivery windows (for example, Saturday morning Express services). Check your shipment’s tracking status and the specific location details before visiting on weekends.

FedEx Africa FAQ
Is there a FedEx Africa location or branch near me?
Yes, FedEx operates through its own stations and authorized partners across much of Africa. Use the global Find FedEx locations tool, choose your country under “Africa,” then search by city or postcode. This shows nearby FedEx facilities, pickup points, and their opening hours.
Can FedEx Africa ship or deliver to a PO Box?
In most cases, FedEx does not deliver to traditional PO boxes in Africa. Shipments usually require a physical street address or a FedEx pickup/hold location. In some countries, limited PO box delivery may be possible through special arrangements with local postal operators, but this is the exception. For smooth delivery, always provide a full street address and a working phone number; if that’s not possible, choose “Hold at Location” at a FedEx station instead.
Does FedEx Africa have a mailbox/PO box rental?
FedEx itself does not operate PO box or mailbox rental services in African countries. PO boxes are normally provided by national postal operators or private mailbox companies. To rent one, contact your local post office or a private mail centre, compare prices and box sizes, then confirm that they accept courier deliveries (some private mailbox providers do). Once you have a street-style mailbox address, you can usually use it as a delivery address for FedEx shipments and other couriers—check the rules with your mailbox provider first.
Can I pick up a FedEx Africa package?
Yes. If tracking shows “Hold at Location,” “At local FedEx facility,” or a similar status, you can usually collect your parcel in person. Bring your tracking number and a government-issued ID to the FedEx station or pickup point listed in the tracking details. In many cities you can pre-select “Hold at Location” during shipment creation or via FedEx Delivery Manager, which lets you redirect a package from your address to a nearby FedEx location for convenient pickup.
What time does FedEx Africa open? (FedEx Africa Opening Hours)
Opening hours vary by country and individual station. Many FedEx locations in Africa open between 08:00 and 09:00 local time and close around 17:00–18:00 on weekdays. Airport-based or high-volume facilities may open earlier. Always check a specific branch via the Find FedEx locations tool and click “View details” to see its exact opening hours and last pickup times.
Does FedEx Africa deliver or pickup on Sunday or Saturday?
In much of Africa, FedEx focuses on Monday–Friday for standard pickups and deliveries. However, some major city stations and airport facilities offer Saturday services (drop-off, pickup or, in some cases, Saturday delivery) where demand and infrastructure allow. Sunday is generally a non-working day. For a particular shipment, use tracking to see the scheduled delivery date, and for future shipments check your local country site for “Saturday service” options or ask customer service.
How do I contact FedEx about a missing or stuck shipment in Africa?
First, track your package on the official FedEx tracking page and note the latest scan event and location. If there is no update for several days, or the shipment appears to be stuck in customs or at a hub, contact FedEx via your country’s customer-support page or phone line. Provide your tracking number, shipper and receiver details, and any commercial invoice or customs reference. The agent can open a case, liaise with the destination station or customs broker, and advise what documents or actions are needed.
Why is my FedEx shipment to Africa delayed in customs?
Customs delays usually happen because documents are incomplete, duties/taxes have not been paid, the commodity requires permits, or inspections are taking longer than usual. FedEx’s clearance teams often contact the receiver or importer of record for additional paperwork or payment. Monitor your tracking page for messages like “Clearance delay” and follow any instructions that appear, then respond promptly to calls or emails from FedEx or the customs broker to minimise extra delays.
Does FedEx Africa offer international delivery and tracking?
Yes. FedEx connects African countries with the rest of the world using services like FedEx International Priority and International Economy, as well as former TNT routes in some markets. Most of these services include door-to-door tracking from pickup to delivery, including export, transit and customs events. Simply use the same tracking page and tracking ID—no matter whether your package is in Europe, Asia, or on the way to or from Africa.
How can I get an accurate quote and transit time for shipping to or from Africa?
Use the Get Rates & Transit Times tool on your local FedEx country website. Enter the origin and destination postcodes, shipment date, weight and dimensions, and the tool will show available services, estimated transit times, and base transportation charges. Remember that customs duties, taxes, and surcharges (fuel, remote area, or demand-related) may be added, especially for international express services. For large or regular shipments, consider opening a FedEx account to access negotiated rates and billing tools.
Can I change the delivery address or date for a FedEx Africa shipment?
In many countries you can request delivery changes after a shipment is in transit. Options may include changing the delivery address, rescheduling the delivery date, leaving the package at a safe place, or holding it at a FedEx location. Availability depends on the service used and local regulations. Use the “Manage Delivery” link on your tracking results or contact customer service; have your tracking number and new delivery details ready.
Summary
FedEx operates an integrated network across Africa, providing time-definite international and local deliveries, full online tracking, and options to hold packages at secure locations. Use the official tracking page to monitor shipments, the global location finder to locate nearby stations, and your local FedEx country site or call centre for precise transit times, weekend availability, and support with customs or delivery issues.
