FedEx transports your package to a nearby facility where residential delivery is then made by the post office. My package sat at the PO for 2 days.</P> <P>I have begun to notice that online retailers, e.g. NorthStyle seem to "hide" the fact they are shipping via this method. It may be cheaper but it sure isn't customer friendly. </P> <P>It took 11 calendar days for me to receive a package from California and now North Style (in MA) is telling me it will be 7-10 business days (I live in WI) even though I paid extra for rush service that said delivery would be 3-4 business days.</P> <P>I'm mostly venting here, but want to warn those of you who expect a reasonable timetable for delivery--it ain't happenin' with FedEx SmartPost! At least, that's my experience!</P> Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:51:11 GMT DC47 2011-11-21T18:51:11Z FedEx SmartPost https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/FedEx-SmartPost/m-p/131660#M56329 <P>For those of you who are unfamiliar, this is not your normally efficient FedEx service.
