Using Fedex Ground and the label comes out with both a Fedex and USPS Tracking

So my son printed a label yesterday using Fedex Ground Economy and I noticed the label came out with both a Fedex Ground Tracking, and a USPS tracking number.    It had a "S" in the square which I thought stood for Fedex Smart Post, however when I went back,  that option was not available (Weighs 33 lbs)   I looked in shipping manager and it does  say FedEx Ground Economy.       My customer lives in Alabama .    Has this ever happened before to anyone?       With Fedex smart Post,  the post office usually takes it,  however now I have no idea where I would drop it off to.    FedEx, or USPS.

FedEx renamed "Smart Post" to "Ground Economy" a few years ago.  Sometimes they will deliver the package directly, and sometimes they hand it off to USPS.

 

The max weight for this service is 70 pounds.

 

Gird yourself for a shipping cost adjustment in about 3 weeks ... the quote you get from eBay does not include all of the charges that you will incur from FedEx.  If you haven't shipped, I would recommend cancelling this label and using USPS Ground, which (in the end) will be the cheaper option.

 

(P.S. I hate this service with a passion, mostly due to horrible timeliness of delivery).
