SmartPost is an oxymoron. Last package I had shipped that way, well the tracking was interesting to say the least.
Came into Michigan, arrived Brownstown Michigan. Then went to Detroit, about 25 miles northeast. From there, west to Grand Rapids, about 170 miles. From there, east back to Detroit. Then from there to Lansing, again west about 80 miles, halfway to Grand Rapids where it went once already. Then finally back from there to my local P.O., east about midway between there and Detroit.

DHL is a full step below FedEx SmartPost, and I didn't think that was possible.
FedEx SmartPost = unholy alliance between FEDEX and USPS
Unfortunately, there is worse than DHL. The grand champion of shitty shipping is DHL's unholy alliance with USPS. I probably should be holding a grudge against the asshole who shipped something to me with that "service."

I wish companies would learn. When they use shitty delivery services, they lose customers. To this day there I companies I won't buy from because of their delivery services and unwillingness to correct the problem.
