USPS Ends Support For FedEx Ground Economy Drop Offs July 14, 2024
USPS is ending support for drop offs of FedEx Ground Economy shipments, effective July 14, 2024, according to an announcement posted in the eBay community forums.
FedEx Ground Economy (previously called FedEx SmartPost) is a cost-efficient shipping option for low-weight, low-value, and nonurgent shipments that leverages the USPS network for last mile delivery in some areas.
While USPS may still be handling some packages in transit or some parts of delivery for this service, they're making it clear that shippers are no longer welcome to drop FedEx Ground Economy package off at USPS locations - warning any packages left will be seized and not forwarded to the intended recipient or a FedEx facility.
Starting July 14, 2024, USPS will no longer support receipt of any FedEx Ground Economy shipments. If you drop off your FedEx shipment to a USPS location, they will not forward it and the package will be seized.
It's important to always use the correct label, packaging and drop off location for each carrier. Find your closest FedEx location.
