Some online retailers have been using smartpost lately. Woot is one of them…

when it went from OH to FL the first time, i would have been on the phone with them. Chances are the madness could have been stopped. sorry to hear though.

thats the thing… call fedex, they say not their fault… the package must have been damaged or mislabeled and to call USPS, they say call fedex… call fedex back, they say call the shipper, woot doesnt answer email/phone calls…

that sucks…they should have been able to put a stop on it and redirect it by now.

Is Fedex smartpost the thing where they work with USPS to ship? (checked, and yes)

Yeah this pissed me off the other day, ordered from Buy.com and it was in Buffalo, got re-routed to Rochester and then back to Buffalo. Wasted an extra day and the packaging label was perfectly fine and not damaged. It was dumb, rar.
