Service Alerts: Weather Delay

Updated Weather-Related Shipping Delays – Service Notice

Last Updated: January 28, 2026

Due to severe winter weather impacting large regions across the United States, major shipping carriers — FedEx, USPS, and UPS — have issued official service alerts warning of potential delivery delays.

This blog post explains the current situation and what it means for your BuildFastCar.com orders.

🚚 FedEx – National Service Disruption

FedEx has activated contingency plans due to winter storms affecting key hubs, including Memphis, TN and Indianapolis, IN.

• Shipments with delivery commitments on January 28, 2026 may be delayed, with delays possibly continuing throughout the week.

• Weather-related delays may not immediately appear in the estimated delivery date.

• Weather delays are not eligible for money-back guarantees.

📮 USPS – Winter Weather Alerts

USPS has issued service alerts indicating that winter weather across multiple U.S. regions — from the Northern Plains to the Southeast — may impact mail and packages including processing, transportation, and delivery across many states.

📦 UPS – Weather Impacted Service

UPS service alerts note that severe weather, natural disasters, and conditions beyond the carrier’s control can delay or disrupt UPS services.

• Pickup and delivery services continue where conditions allow, but delays may occur.

• Severe weather at major network hubs — including Louisville, KY — may impact overall flow of packages through the system.

• UPS’s own Service Guarantee may not apply to shipments affected by weather delays.

Even if weather in your local area doesn’t appear severe, packages may be delayed in transit due to conditions elsewhere in the network.

What This Means for Your Order

• Your order was processed and shipped on time whenever possible.

• Delays are caused by carrier operations affected by extreme weather, not seller error.

• Tracking may show limited movement or extended transit times.

• Estimated delivery dates may change as carriers update status.

What You Can Do

✔ Check tracking regularly with your carrier (UPS, FedEx, USPS)
✔ Allow extra delivery time while systems recover
✔ Understand that money-back guarantees may not apply for weather-related delays
✔ For residential UPS deliveries, continue monitoring ups.com for service alerts
