FedEx SmartPost is a terrible service that should never be used as it takes a very long time to get a package you ordered from someone when sent through FedEx SmartPost.

The FedEx SmartPost doesn't make any sense really because if FedEx already has it then they could just as easily deliver the package to my location or your location without handing it off to the Post Office.

I mean come on the FedEx driver is already in my town so why not just deliver it directly to me instead of handing it off to the post office for final delivery.

I've had packages take 2 weeks before with FedEx SmartPost and then also had the package get to my state and then go out another 500 miles before it came back to my state again.

I hate FedEx SmartPost but I like FedEx shipping itself as long as FedEx is delivering the package to me directly and not taking a long time as in 2 weeks to deliver the package to me.

I'm not sure why it's so slow but it really should be sped up.
