Can I ship flammable liquids via FedEx?

What is considered hazardous material for shipping?
HAZMAT products are broken into nine classes, ranging from the most extreme materials like explosives, gases, toxic materials, and radioactive materials, to more seemingly minor products like hair spray, liquor, and nail polish that still pose a shipping and handling risk.
Are FedEx Ground shipments insured?
What is FedEx Shipping Insurance? FedEx offers insurance to help offset the cost if a package is lost, stolen, or damaged. The first $100 of insurance doesn’t cost anything, but if the value of the package is higher, you can purchase additional insurance to cover potential losses.
Is FedEx responsible for stolen packages?
FedEx generally covers the first $100 of value of a package unless you purchase additional insurance or can prove that they damaged an item worth more than that. FedEx coverage extends to lost and damaged packages, but there may not be anything that they can do if the package was successfully delivered and then stolen.
What to do if a package says delivered but was not FedEx?
You need to contact your local FedEx and provide them with your FedEx tracking number and explain that you didn’t receive the shipment but it seems to be delivered. If necessary, they will check with the shipper as well and will do their best to resolve your issue.
Why does FedEx keep changing delivery date?
Scheduled delivery is now pending means that every effort is being made to deliver your package as soon as possible. Delivery commitments change based on the type of delay and our effort to mitigate the delay. To receive more information about the status of your package, sign up for FedEx Delivery Manager®.
What does delivery by end of day mean?
End of day means that deliveries are made before the end of the business day quoted in the delivery schedule. If your delivery has encountered a delay in transit, FedEx may deliver the package later than the typical 8 PM delivery cutoff.
