In some area's, you can call fedex and tell them to hold your delivery at the fedex sort facility in your area. If there is no facility available in your local area, you will get that message. Basically it is say "Sorry we can't hold your package here, it will be delivered to it's destination". That is the explanation I recieved.

Yes, anything shipped Fedex 3 Day Saver or faster is an express shipment.
FedEx does not inspect shipments. Shipments that go between countries will be inspected by border inspectors from the country that is being shipped to. Packages that open or fall apart in transit are resealed and/or repacked by FedEx Handlers and Drivers.
To track a package that is being sent through FedEx one would need to have the tracking number associated with the shipment. With this number it is possible to go to the fedEx website and enter it in their tracking tool which would list the last known location of the package.
Depends where you are shipping to and the priority of the shipment
Usually FedEx will continue with its regular ground service because the label is usually the only piece that they actually use during shipment. However, the worst case scenario would be that FedEx would return the package to you and ask to put it in correct packaging before shipping again.

FedEx Hold at Location service is one of the following: The shipper can send a package directly to one of our many FedEx Office Locations or a FedEx station that accepts Hold at Location packages -or- The recipient can request for the package to be held after the 1st delivery attempt is made to delivery address. In turn, the package can be held for pickup at a FedEx Office Location or at the station itself. This is a good option for people who wont be home and packages are requiring signatures. The Office locations and Stations will hold the package for up to 5 business days from the first attempt or if no attempts are made they will hold up to 5 business days from the commit date.
