Expecting a package? Your wait may have just gotten longer

(NEXSTAR) – A faulty software update caused technological havoc worldwide on Friday, and unfortunately for Prime Day shoppers and others expecting a package, shipping times may also be affected.

FedEx confirmed that its network is operating worldwide on Friday, but warned that "potential delays are possible for package deliveries with a commitment of July 19, 2024" after the massive IT outage. Anyone expecting a delivery is advised to check the Service Alerts page for updates or use the tracking tool for specific shipments.
